Energy conditions in Gauss–Bonnet gravity by Francesco Bajardi

“…Specifically, we select models containing symmetries within the modified $$f(\mathcal {G})$$ f ( G ) theory and obtain conditions for which (i) the energy conditions can be violated and (ii) the magnitude of the slow-roll parameters is small, thus suggesting that under given limits the analyzed theory can potentially trace the cosmic history both at early and at the late times.…”

Adsorption of Alcohols from Multicomponent Solutions onto Silica Gel by J. Goworek

“…In n -heptane solutions the multilayer surface structure is formed and the surface phase contains the alcohol only. For benzene and ternary (alcohol + benzene + n -heptane) solutions a mixed surface phase is observed whose composition is determined by competition of liquid components for silica surface as well as its tendency to complex. …”
