The modelling platform mu ic [1] has been used to investigate the mechanisms occurring during the hydration of alite. It is shown that it is possible to obtain a good simulation of the hydration kinetics through the implementation of two mechanisms: a diss ...
The finite-temperature yield stress of Mg-Al alloys undergoing basal slip is investigated using a recently developed parameter-free solute strengthening model. The model takes input from first-principles calculations of the dislocation/solute interaction e ...
The use of Process Analytical Technology (PAT) recommended by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has significantly increased during the past years in the design, control and monitoring of pharmaceutical or chemical manufacturing processes. Nowadays, PA ...
Motivated by recent developments in the context of adaptation over networks, this work establishes useful results about the limiting global behavior of diffusion and consensus strategies for the solution of distributed optimization problems. It is known th ...
Chemosensors based on indicator displacement were developed for the optical detection of different analytes in aqueous solution. The sensing of carbohydrates, including glucose, in aqueous solution at pH 7.4 was achieved by a fluorescent indicator displace ...
Orthorhombic Lead metaniobate (PbNb2O6) exhibits ferroelectric properties and has a Curie temperature, TC of 570 degrees C. This work reports on investigations made on ferroelectric Lead metaniobate, (PN) and its solid solutions with bismuth and titanium P ...
Recent nanomedical applications have again highlighted the significance of silica surface chemistry in solution. Here, we report in situ electronic structure measurements at the silica-aqueous interface as a function of pH for nanoparticles (NPs) of 7, 12, ...
Using molecular dynamics simulations, we have studied the water-vapor and water-oil (decane) interfaces of aqueous solutions of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS). The water-vapor interface is often used as a model for water-oil (hydrophobic) interfaces, yet we ...
The first tetrameric cation-cation neptunyl(v) cluster, [NpO 2(salen) 4(μ 8-K) 2][K(18C6)Py] 2, has been synthesized in non-aqueous solution from the reaction of [(NpO 2Py 5)(KI 2Py 2)] n with K 2salen and its structure determined in the solid state and in ...
A 3D multiphase-field (PhF) model has been developed in order to study the formation of a micropore constrained to grow in a solid network (i.e., pinching effect). The model accounts for the pressure difference due to capillarity between liquid and gas, th ...
