Understanding nitrate formation in a world with less sulfate

SO2 emission controls, combined with modestly increasing ammonia, have been thought to generate aerosol with significantly reduced acidity for cases in which sulfate is partially substituted by nitrate. However, neither expectation agrees with decadal o ...

Communication: Constrained molecular dynamics for polarizable models

Sara Bonella, Alessandro Coretti

A new algorithm to solve numerically the evolution of empirical shell models of polarizable systems is presented. It employs constrained molecular dynamics to satisfy exactly, at each time step, the crucial condition that the gradient of the potential with ...

Mediatorless, Reversible Optical Nanosensor Enabled through Enzymatic Pocket Doping

Ardemis Anoush Boghossian, Benjamin Paul Johanès Gabriel Lambert, Vitalijs Zubkovs, Esra Ahunbay

This study presents a reversible, mediatorless, near-infrared glucose sensor based on glucose oxidase-wrapped SWCNTs. A combination of fluorescence, absorption, and Raman spectroscopy measurements suggest a fluorescence enhancement mechanism based on local ...

High levels of ammonia do not raise fine particle pH sufficiently to yield nitrogen oxide-dominated sulfate production

Athanasios Nenes, Hairun Guo

High levels of ammonia (NH3) have been suggested to elevate ambient particle pH levels to near neutral acidity (pH = 7), a condition that promotes rapid SO2 oxidation by NO2 to form aerosol sulfate concentration consistent with "London fog" levels. This po ...

Exergy assessment of single and dual pressure industrial ammonia synthesis units

In exothermic, equilibrium-limited processes such as ammonia synthesis, higher per-pass conversions are often achieved by withdrawing the enthalpy of reaction before the conversion has been completed. However, although inter-bed cooling may help controllin ...

Direct enhancement of nitrogen-15 targets at high-field by fast ADAPT-SABRE

Gabriele Stevanato

Signal Amplification by Reversible Exchange (SABRE) is an attractive nuclear spin hyperpolarization technique capable of huge sensitivity enhancement in nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) detection. The resonance condition of SABRE hyperpolarization depends ...

The DTT device: Power and particle exhaust

Holger Reimerdes

The possible scenarios at full power of the DTT (Divertor Test Tokamak) device with the standard single null (SN) and X divertor (XD) configurations have been analysed for the aspect of safely handling the power to be exhausted on the divertor targets. In ...

Ancilla-free synthesis of large reversible functions using binary decision diagrams

Mathias Soeken

The synthesis of reversible functions has been an intensively studied research area in the last decade. Since almost all proposed approaches rely on representations of exponential size (such as truth tables and permutations), they cannot be applied efficie ...

Spin Caloritronics, origin and outlook

Jean-Philippe Ansermet, Sylvain Bréchet, Haiming Yu

Spin caloritronics refers to research efforts in spintronics when a heat current plays a role. In this review, we start out by reviewing the predictions that can be drawn from the thermodynamics of irreversible processes. This serves as a conceptual framew ...

Thermoeconomic modeling for CO2 allocation in steam and gas turbine cogeneration systems

Thermoeconomics is a discipline that connects Thermodynamics and Economics concepts, usually used for rational cost assessment partition to the final products of a thermal plant, by means of a model that describes the cost formation process of the overall ...
