It is a well-known fact that small-amplitude perturbations can be amplified in globally stable flows due to non-normal mechanisms. This leads in the time domain to the transient growth of some initial disturbances, and in the frequency domain to the amplif ...
Tuning of effective band gaps at insulator surfaces by adsorbed molecules is of fundamental interest but also technologically relevant for contact charging induced by adsorbed molecules like hydroxybenzoic acids. Our studies by density functional theory of ...
Chloroethenes are the most prevalent groundwater contaminants in developed countries. They accumulate in the environment as a dense non aqueous phase liquid (DNAPL) which acts as a long term source of contamination. Enhanced in situ anaerobic bioremediatio ...
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 ...
CueP confers bacterial copper resistance in the periplasm, particularly under anaerobic conditions, through an unknown mechanism. The only available structure and limited solution data suggest that CueP forms noncovalent timers in solution, whereas sequenc ...
Aluminum zinc alloys constitute an important class of wrought alloys, the so-called 7000 series, and are also widely used as anti-corrosion coatings of steel sheets. They are also interesting from a more fundamental point of view because zinc, a hexagonal ...
Nitrous oxide is the third most important gas contributing to global warming and its concentration in the atmosphere is still on the rise. Nitric acid production represents the largest source of N2O in the chemical industry, with a total annual emission of ...
Medical-grade poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) was chemically modified to study how the incorporation of monovalent silver influences Pseudomonas aeruginosa adhesion and colonization. The modification investigated consisted of a radio frequency-oxygen (RF-O-2) g ...
A method for separating and recovering silicon debris from sawing waste is characterized in that it comprises the following steps: - treating the sawing waste so as to deoxidize the silicon debris in a manner that reduces their surface energy, - applying t ...
High-speed images of bubbly flow coupled with simultaneous passive acoustic measurements were carried out in a bubble column staged with structured fibrous catalysts. Local observations made with a high-speed camera system allow a detailed understanding of ...
