Numerical approximation of phase field models for tumor growth

In this project, we deal with the numerical approximation of problems described by a phase field model, which is nowadays popular to describe substances sharing sharp interfaces. We present the basis of the theory of mixtures required to introduce the spin ...

Mixed finite element -- primal finite volume element discretization of multicontinuum models

Ivan Lunati, Ricardo Esteban Ruiz Baier

This paper is devoted to the mathematical modelling and numerical simulation of basic mechanisms that drive multicontinuum systems in two- and three-dimensional porous media. We state a general mathematical model within the framework of mixture theory, cap ...

Lignin monomer production integrated into the γ-valerolactone sugar platform

Jeremy Luterbacher

We demonstrate an experimental approach for upgrading lignin that has been isolated from corn stover via biomass fractionation using c-valerolactone (GVL) as a solvent. This GVL-based approach can be used in parallel with lignin upgrading to produce solubl ...

Synthetic chemistry with nitrous oxide

Kay Severin

This review article summarizes efforts to use nitrous oxide (N2O, ‘laughing gas’) as a reagent in synthetic chemistry. The focus will be on reactions which are carried out in homogeneous solution under (relatively) mild conditions. First, the utilization o ...

Effect of heterogeneously distributed pre-existing dispersoids on the recrystallization behavior of a cold-rolled Al–Mn–Fe–Si alloy

Ke Huang

It is well known that strong concurrent precipitation, mainly located along grain/subgrain boundaries, results in a coarse and elongated grain structure, and unusual sharp P {011} and/or M {113} texture components during annealing of supersatur ...

Discovery of a low order drug-cell response surface for applications in personalized medicine

Hubert van den Bergh, Patrycja Nowak-Sliwinska, Yiyang Li

The cell is a complex system involving numerous components, which may often interact in a non-linear dynamic manner. Diseases at the cellular level are thus likely to involve multiple cellular constituents and pathways. As some drugs, or drug combinations, ...

Hydrophobic hydration of poly-N-isopropyl acrylamide: a matter of the mean energetic state of water

Paolo De Los Rios

The enthalpically favoured hydration of hydrophobic entities, termed hydrophobic hydration, impacts the phase behaviour of numerous amphiphiles in water. Here, we show experimental evidence that hydrophobic hydration is strongly determined by the mean ener ...

Mixtures of Chemical Pollutants at European Legislation Safety Concentrations: How Safe Are They?

Kristin Schirmer

The risk posed by complex chemical mixtures in the environment to wildlife and humans is increasingly debated, but has been rarely tested under environmentally relevant scenarios. To address this issue, two mixtures of 14 or 19 substances of concern (pesti ...

Hybrid polarizing solids for pure hyperpolarized liquids through dissolution dynamic nuclear polarization

David Lyndon Emsley, Geoffrey Bodenhausen, Aurélien Bornet, Sami Jannin, Jonas Milani, Basile Vuichoud, David Benjamin Roger Antoine Gajan

Hyperpolarization of substrates for magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) and imaging (MRI) by dissolution dynamic nuclear polarization (D-DNP) usually involves saturating the ESR transitions of polarizing agents (PAs; e.g., persistent radicals embedded in ...

Effects of Fe-enrichment on the equation of state and stability of (Mg,Fe)SiO3 perovskite

Susannah McGregor Dorfman

Fe-rich natural orthopyroxenes with compositions of (Mg0.61Fe0.38Ca0.01)SiO3 (Fe#38) and (Mg0.25Fe0.74Ca0.01)SiO3 (Fe#74) were studied at pressures up to 155 GPa and temperatures up to 3000 K. Single-phase orthorhombic GdFeO3-type perovskite was synthesize ...
