Both of Cr(Ⅵ) and p-chloroaniline adsorption on the colloids could be well described by general adsorption simulation equations. The adsorption processes changed with media pH. When Cr(Ⅵ) and p-chloroaniline coexisted on soil colloids, their interactions could be observed in a certain pH range to be accompanied with Cr(Ⅵ) reduction, which clearly suggested that a surface catalytic reaction occurred in this system. Soil colloid acted as an efficient catalyst for the interaction of Cr(Ⅵ) and p-chloroaniline. The pH values at which no interaction was observed were 4.0, 4.5 and 5.0 for the colloids of indigotic black soil, yellow-brown soil and latosol, respectively. Capillary electrophoresis used to analyze p-chloroaniline provided a high separation efficiency and short separation time, and needed no more extensive pretreatment of samples.展开更多

The concept of motion for energy is replaced by time-space interactions with time taken as solid matter. Motion enhances the exchange between the mass and its surrounding time in space, annihilation and creation are special forms of this exchange. During the motion of a mass, it increases as a result of this dissolution. Time concentration in Fock space is responsible for the collision phenomena in physics. In this paper, a new mathematical operator (the equal operator) is introduced.展开更多

These are scientifically and technologically important materials with orthorhombic perovskite-like structure and space group Pbnm. Lanthanum ferrite, LaFeO3 is semiconducting and antiferrom agnetically ordered at zero. The thermodynamics of perovskite-type or related materials of potential use in, e.g., solid oxide fuel cells have been studied to a rather limited extent only.展开更多

It has been shown that when a liquid is heated and temperatures approach to critical ones, a significant contribution of DCMSL is made by vibration motion of molecules. The special properties of the temperature-frequency behavior of DCMSL spectra are discussed from the view point of hindered rotation of liquid molecules with consideration of intermolecular interaction.展开更多

Nowadays, converting biomass into liquid by Fischer-Tropsch synthesis is a major concern for alternative fuels (gasoline, diesel etc.). Selectivity of Fischer-Tropsch hydrocarbon product (green fuel) is an important issue. In this study, the experimental data has been obtained from three factors; temperature, H2/CO ratio and pressure in the fixed bed micro reactor. T = 543-618 (K), P = 3-10 (bar), H2/CO = 1-2 and space velocity = 4500 (l/h) were the reactor conditions. The results of product modeling for methane (CH4), ethane (C2H6), ethylene (C2H4) and CO conversion with experimental data were compared. The effective parameters and the interaction between them were investigated in the model. H2/CO ratio and pressure and interaction between pressure and H2/CO in ethane selectivity model and CO conversion and interaction between temperature and H2/CO ratio in methane selectivity model and ethylene gave the best results. To determine the optimal conditions for light hydrocarbons, ANOVA and RSM were employed. Finally, products optimization was done and results were concluded.展开更多

At this approach the development of structural indicators can be followed at time using geological receptors. The principle on what stays this exploration stems from the fact, that a planet is an object, where interactions among its elements are to some extent organized. It means that it goes about an object with a hidden system of control aiming to augment its level of existence and that it is not a "stack of stones". In advance it is necessary to establish some ways-out for the on-line tracking. The first way-out is the fact, that this is an object been monitored, it means a system of organized elements, which has its proper existence and its strategies for a cultivation of this existence. These elements are primarily atoms and for a monitoring of their activities it is possible to use their complexes, e.g. crystals and of course occasionally higher structures, too. Another way-out is the fact, that elements have their proper satisfaction and successfulness and that on basis of those quantities stays the existence of the overall object. These quantities are for new observable mainly on higher structures.展开更多

The physicochemical makeup of the cells aff)cts various cellular responses, determines cell-cell interactions and influences cell decisions. Chemical and physical properties diff)r between cells and within cells. Moreover, these properties are subject to dynamic changes in response to environmental signals, which often demand adjustments in the chemical or physical states of intracellular molecules. Indeed, cellular responses such as gene expression rely on the faithful relay of information from the outside to the inside of the cell, a process terrned signal transduction. The signal often traverses a complex path across subcellular spaces with variable physical chemistry, sometimes even influencing it. Understanding the molecular states of such signaling molecules and their intracellular environments is vital to our understanding of the cell. Exploring such intricate spaces is possible today largely because of experimental and theoretical tools. Here, we focus on one tool that is commonly used in chemical physics studies light. We summarize recent work which uses light to both visualize the cellular environment and also control intracel- lular processes along the axis of signal transduction. We highlight recent accomplishments in optical microscopy and optogenetics, an emerging experimental strategy which utilizes light to control the molecular processes in live cells. We believe that optogenetics lends un- precedented spatiotemporal precision to the manipulation of physicochemical properties in biological contexts. We hope to use this work to demonstrate new opportunities for chemical physicists who are interested in pursuing biological and biomedical questions.展开更多

Upon incuba- tion with six kinds of different pathogens, it was found the three polymers could selectively interact with Staphylococcus oureus (S. aureus). Their selective imaging towards S. aureus were thus realized. The selective imaging towards S. aureus was also confirmed even under the blend of microbes. PFP-3 shows stronger fluorescence imaging signal than PFP-1 and PFP-2. Zeta potential and isothermal titration microcalorimetry (ITC) tests demonstrated that both electrostatic interactions and hydrophobic interac- tions played important roles in the binding between PFPs and pathogens. Thus, amphiphilic PFP-3 exhi- bits great potential for specific imaging ors. aureus in a simple and rapid manner.展开更多
