Posetic Quantitative Superstructure/Activity Relationships (QSSARs) for Chlorobenzenes

As a result of the widespread industrial use of polychlorinated hydrocarbons, they have accumulated in nearly all types of environmental compartments, especially in aquatic systems. Particularly, chloroaromatics are among the most undesirable industrial effluents because of their persistence and toxicity. To predict chlorobenzene (CB) toxicities, we make use of a novel scheme that looks beyond ...

Linear viscoelasticity - bone volume fraction relationships of bovine trabecular bone

Trabecular bone has been previously recognized as time-dependent (viscoelastic) material, but the relationships of its viscoelastic behaviour with bone volume fraction (BV/TV) have not been investigated so far. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to quantify the time-dependent viscoelastic behaviour of trabecular bone and relate it to BV/TV. Uniaxial compressive creep experiments were p...

Structure, viscoelasticity, and interfacial dynamics of a model polymeric bicontinuous microemulsion.

We have systematically studied the equilibrium structure and dynamics of a polymeric bicontinuous microemulsion (BμE) composed of poly(cyclohexylethylene) (PCHE), poly(ethylene) (PE), and a volumetrically symmetric PCHE-PE diblock copolymer, using dynamic mechanical spectroscopy, small angle X-ray and neutron scattering, and transmission electron microscopy. The BμE was investigated over an 80 ...

Faxén relations in solids-a generalized approach to particle motion in elasticity and viscoelasticity.

A movable inclusion in an elastic material oscillates as a rigid body with six degrees of freedom. Displacement/rotation and force/moment tensors which express the motion of the inclusion in terms of the displacement and force at arbitrary exterior points are introduced. Using reciprocity arguments two general identities are derived relating these tensors. Applications of the identities to sphe...
