Evolution of Mesopores in Monolithic Macroporous Ethylene-Bridged Polysilsesquioxane Gels Incorporated with Nonionic Surfactant by Atsushi Mushiake, Kazuyoshi Kanamori, Kazuki Nakanishi

“…The difference of mesopore structures depending on the method of the solvent removal has been observed by the X-ray diffraction and the nitrogen adsorption-desorption measurements. During the hydrothermal treatment under the basic condition, the reorganization of the polysilsesquioxane gel network occurred differently depending on the alkoxy group contained in the precursors. …”

Modeling Cu(II) Binding to Peptides Using the Extensible Systematic Force Field by Faina Ryvkin, Frederick T. Greenaway

“…All likely copper geometries were modeled, but the results showed only a small dependence on the geometrical model in that all resulted in a distorted square pyramidal geometry about the copper, some of the imidazole rings were poorly oriented for ligation to the Cu(II), and the copper-nitrogen bond distances were too long. The results suggest that ESFF should be used with caution for Cu(II) complexes where the copper-ligand bonds have significant covalency and when the ligands are not geometrically constrained to be planar.…”

PRE-STRAIN EFFECT EVALUATION OF AUSTENITIC STAINLESS STEEL by LIU XiaoNing, YANG Fan, LIU Cen, WU YuanXiang, LIU Bing, ZHANG HongWei

“…For example of pre-strain effect on austenitic stainless steel S30408,based on the effective tensile test data at liquid nitrogen temperature,and the bilateral confidence was 99%,the effect of 9%-prestrain on the steel was evaluated: 1) 9%-pre-strain significantly increases the yield strength of steel S30408,and the standard deviation is basically unchanged; 2) for steel S30408 tensile strength,9%-pre-strain is no effect on the mean and the standard deviation.…”

Studies of the Kinetic Characteristics of HSA Adsorption by Different Types of Activated Carbon Fibres by Eugene Eretsky

“…The various parameters for the porous structure were calculated by different methods on the basis of the low-temperature adsorption isotherms of nitrogen measured at 77 ± 1 K. It was shown that an increase in the degree of ACF activation led to the development of a porous structure which exhibited increasing values of the micropore and mesopore volumes. …”

Production of Cellulose Nitrate Polymer from Sawdust by I. M. Adekunle

“…Variation in the composition of a particular nitrating acid mixture, relative acid strength of the nitrating mixture, nitrating time and proportion of nitrating acid to cellulose material all influenced the yield and solubility of cellulose nitrate whose nitrogen contents ranged from 11.06 to 13.12%. The products were chloroform, acetone and ester soluble, hence, useful for industrial applications.…”

Single and Binary Adsorption Systems of Rhodamine B and Methylene Blue onto Alkali-Activated Vietnamese Diatomite by Pham Dinh Du, Huynh Thanh Danh

“…The resulting material was characterized by using energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and nitrogen adsorption-desorption isotherms. The so-treated diatomite has a high specific surface area (77.8 m2/g) and a high concentration of isolated silanol groups on the surface, and therefore, its adsorption capacity increases drastically in both the single and binary adsorption systems for rhodamine B and methylene blue. …”
