The thermochemical conversion and recycling of hazardous solid waste materials is investigated using high-temperature solar process heat. Two important sources of wastes contaminated with heavy metal oxides are considered: (1) electric are furnace dust (EA ...
The calculated difference in the standard heat of formation Delta Delta H-f degrees(298.15) of n- and i-C4H3 center dot free radicals is 37.9 kJ mol(-1) for G3MP2B3 and 45.0 kJ mol(-1) for CCSD(T)-CBS (W 1 U) calculations, which seems to preclude the direc ...
The second law of thermodynamics is often expressed as the fact that the entropy of an isolated system increases when a spontaneous change takes place. While this statement is true, a more general formulation can easily be presented to students. Starting f ...
Recently, entropy measures at different stages of recognition have been used in automatic speech recognition (ASR) task. In a recent paper, we proposed that formant positions of a spectrum can be captured by multi-resolution spectral entropy feature. In th ...
Abstract With the commoditization of digital devices, personal information and media sharing is becoming a key application on the pervasive Web. In such a context, data annotation rather than data production is the main bottleneck. Metadata scarcity repres ...
Anew, to our knowledge, group contribution method based on the group contribution method of Mavrovouniotis is introduced for estimating the standard Gibbs free energy of formation (Delta(f)G'(degrees)) and reaction (Delta(r)G'(degrees)) in biochemical syst ...
We have developed a simple and quant. explanation for the relatively low melting temps. of ionic liqs. (ILs). The basic concept was to assess the Gibbs free energy of fusion (ΔfusG) for the process IL(s) -> IL(l), which relates to the m.p. ...
Simplified vibrational densities of states for five different carbonates are constructed using measured IR and Raman spectra. From the spectroscopic models we calculate thermodynamic and thermoelastic properties of magnesite, calcite, aragonite, dolomite, ...

To answer the intriguing question whether or not endothermic microbial growth exists, and in particular, to verify Heijnen and van Dijken's prediction (1992), acetotrophic methanogen, Methanosarcina barkeri, has been cultivated in a highly sensitive bench- ...
