Enhancement of the Adsorptive Properties of a Desert Salsola Vermiculata Species by Noureddine Benderdouche, Benaouda Bestani, Baghdad Benstaali, Zoubir Derriche

“…The results for the wood carbon were 65 mg/g for acetic acid, 45 mg/g for copper(II) ions and 2.4 mg/g for nickel(II) ions. The Freundlich model was found to provide a better description of copper(II) ion adsorption onto the steam- and chemically-activated plant, whereas nickel(II) ion adsorption processes followed Langmuir behaviour. …”

Relating quantum mechanics and kinetics of neutrino oscillations by A. Kartavtsev

“…Third, by constructing solutions of the evolution equation from the known solutions of the Schrödinger equation, we show that the former also admits solutions consistent with the uncertainty principle and accounts for neutrino wave packet separation. The obtained results speak in favor of a (quantum) kinetic approach to the analysis of neutrino propagation in exploding supernovae where neutrino oscillations and collisions, as well as the effect of wave packet separation, might be equally important.…”
