Solute strengthening in substitutional alloys can be classified into two categories, strong-pinning (Friedel) and weak-pinning (Labusch), each with its own characteristic scaling with concentration and temperature. The transition between the two strengthen ...
The influence of the extraction methods on the composition, size diversity, molar mass and size distributions of exopolymeric substances (EPS) from the bacterium Sinorhizobium meliloti wild type (WT) and by the exoY strain deficient in exopolysaccharide pr ...
A fully coupled thermal–hydraulic–mechanical–chemical (THMC) model was proposed to describe the migration of volatile organic contaminations (VOCs) in unsaturated landfill liners. The vertical soil stress, capillary pressure, air pressure, temperature incr ...
Emission spectroscopy measurements on a plasma representative of Titan atmosphere composition were obtained in the Inductively Coupled Plasma wind tunnel facility (VKI-Minitorch) at the von Karman Institute in Belgium. Temperatures ranged from 3600 to 5000 ...
Poly(oxyethylene 20 sorbitan) monolaurate (Tween® 20) methacrylates were synthesized by coupling methacryloyl chloride (MeOCl) to Tween 20 in the presence of 4-(N,N-dimethylamino) pyridine, using THF as a solvent, in order to investigate their suitability ...
Bio synthetic natural gas (Bio-SNG) is being proposed as an alternative to the natural gas of fossil origin (NG) [1]. Bio-SNG consists mainly of CH4 (at least 95%mol), has a high heating value (e.g. 10 kWh/m3N), and respects the quality standards of the NG ...
Bromate (BrO3–) in drinking water is traditionally seen as an ozonation byproduct from the oxidation of bromide (Br–), and its formation during chlorination is usually not significant. This study shows enhanced bromate formation during chlorination of brom ...
The hydrogen absorption of sodium intercalated fullerenes (Na xC60) was determined and compared to pure fullerenes (C60). Up to 3.5 mass% hydrogen can reversibly be absorbed in Na xC60 at 200 °C and a hydrogen pressure of 200 bar. The absorbed amount of hy ...
We investigated the impact of mineral dust particles on clouds, radiation and atmospheric state during a strong Saharan dust event over Europe in May 2008, applying a comprehensive online-coupled regional model framework that explicitly treats particle mic ...
Dye adsorption plays a crucial role in dye-sensitized solar cells. Herein, we demonstrate an in situ liquid- phase analytical technique to quantify in real time adsorption of dye and coadsorbates on flat and mesoporous TiO2 films. For the first time, a mol ...
