Molecular dynamics simulations of the evaporation of hydrated ions from aqueous solution

Philip Robin Loche

Although important for atmospheric processes and gas-phase catalysis, very little is known about the hydration state of ions in the vapor phase. Here we study the evaporation energetics and kinetics of a chloride ion from liquid water by molecular dynamics ...

Cell Type-Specific Membrane Potential Changes in Dorsolateral Striatum Accompanying Reward-Based Sensorimotor Learning

Carl Petersen, Sylvain Crochet, Tanya C Sippy

The striatum integrates sensorimotor and motivational signals, likely playing a key role in reward-based learning of goal-directed behavior. However, cell type-specific mechanisms underlying reinforcement learning remain to be precisely determined. Here, w ...

Stream Solutes and Particulates Export Regimes: A New Framework to Optimize Their Monitoring

Camille Roland Marie Minaudo

The quantification of solute and sediment export from drainage basins is challenging. A large proportion of annual or decadal loads of most constituents is exported during relatively short periods of time, a “hot moment,” which vary between constituents an ...

Susceptibility of Enterovirus B strains to disinfectants and heat

Simon Meister

The susceptibility of waterborne viruses to different inactivating treatments is acknowledged to vary between viruses and even between closely related strains, yet the extent of this variation, or the underlying mechanisms, are not known. Here, different e ...

Quantification methods for chloride binding in Portland cement and limestone systems

Karen Scrivener, Wei Sun, Fabien Jacques Michel Georget, Hamed Maraghechi, William Wilson, Shiyu Sui

This paper presents a comparison of methods to quantify the chloride binding capacity for cementitious materials composed of Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC) and Limestone (LS, 0 to 55% replacement). Physical and chemical chloride bindings were investigated ...

Chloride Transport Behavior of LC3 Binders

Karen Scrivener, François Henri Avet, Hamed Maraghechi

Corrosion of metal reinforcement is the most important durability concern of concrete infrastructures. In this research, chloride transport in mortars prepared using ternary blends of OPC-calcined clay-limestone (LC3) as the cementitious materials is asses ...
