The significant shift in kinetic and equilibrium behavior of complex formation between Ni2 and 2-amino-cycloŽ . Ž . pentene-1-dithiocarboxylic acid ACDA in a solution of ionic surfactant cetyltrimethylammonium bromide CTAB was studied spectrophotometrically in 0.1 M NaBr medium at 30 C. A model based on distributions of ligand Ž . Ž . ACDA and complex Ni ACDA between aqueous and micellar pseudo...

BACKGROUND Nitrogen dioxide (NO2) is a toxic by-product of inhalation therapy with nitric oxide (NO). The rate of NO2 formation during NO therapy is controversial. METHODS The formation of NO2 was studied under dynamic flows emulating a base case NO ventilator mixture containing 80 ppm NO in a 90% oxygen matrix. The difficulty in measuring NO2 concentrations below 2 ppm accurately was overcom...

In this paper we consider rigid formation control systems modelled by double integrators (including formation stabilization systems and flocking control systems), with a focus on their robustness property in the presence of distance mismatch. By introducing additional state variables we show the augmented double-integrator distance error system is self-contained, and we prove the exponential st...

Measuring the volume of a bubble, especially at its detachment, is a basic subject in gas-liquid two-phase flow research. A new indirect method for this measurement under constant flow conditions is presented. An electronic device is designed and constructed based on laser beam intensity. This device calculates the frequency of the bubble formation by measuring the total time of the formation p...
