In the prospect of reducing the greenhouse gas emissions contributing to the global warming the study of CO2 capturing processes is essential. The purpose of this project would be to study more in detail the chemical absorption with amines for CO2 separati ...
The magnetic entropy variation for the ordered spin-ice Tb2Sn2O7 and the spin-liquid Tb2Ti2O7 measured up to similar to 20 K shows that the crystal-field ground state for both systems is a singlet split from the first excited level by a thermal energy of s ...
Microorganisms provide a wealth of bio-degradative potential in the reduction and elimination of xenobiotic compounds in the environment. One useful metric to evaluate potential biodegradation pathways is thermodynamic feasibility. However, experimental da ...
This paper applies nonequilibrium thermodynamics in the linear regime to describe spin diffusion and magnetoresistance effects and to examine the effect of spin mixing on transport through collinear magnetic layers. To demonstrate the method, it treats ana ...

We present a detailed study of the low-energy excitations of two existing finite-size realizations of the planar kagome Heisenberg antiferromagnet on the sphere: the cuboctahedron and the icosidodecahedron. After highlighting a number of special spectral f ...
Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) cytochrome P450 gene CYP121 is shown to be essential for viability of the bacterium in vitro by gene knock-out with complementation. Production of CYP121 protein in Mtb cells is demonstrated. Minimum inhibitory concentratio ...
When a mixed self-assembled monolayer forms on the curved surface of a gold nanoparticle two opposed point defects must form for topological reasons. Here we present a thermodynamic study proving that these defects are more reactive than other sites on the ...
This paper presents a methodology to integrate life cycle assessment (LCA) in models used to design energy conversion systems. It is illustrated by an application to a thermo-economic model for the multi-objective optimization of synthetic natural gas (SNG ...
We have used first-principles calculations to study the structural, electronic, and thermodynamic properties of the three known forms of Rh-S chalcogenides: Rh(2)S(3), Rh(3)S(4), and Rh(17)S(15). Only the first of these materials of interest for catalysis ...
