Metal Foam-enhanced Cascaded Thermal Energy Storage (MF-CTES) has been proposed to solve the problem of poor heat transfer during heat exchange process, which is caused by unavoidable decrease of temperature differences. This paper conducts a theoretical study examining the overall thermal performance of STES (Single-stage Thermal Energy Storage), CTES (Cascaded Thermal Energy Storage) and MF-C...

The effects of ethanol, ethylene glycol, dioxane, and other organic co-solvents upon the hydrogen exchange rates of randomly coiled oxidized RNase, native RNase, and native trypsin have been measured. The exchange rate of oxidized RNase, the model compound for the proton transfer step in hydrogen exchange, is decreased by all of the co-solvents studied at temperatures in the range 3-20 degrees....

This report describes the thermochemistry, proton-coupled electron transfer (PCET) reactions and self-exchange rate constants for a set of bis-benzimidazolate-ligated [2Fe-2S] clusters. These clusters serve as a model for the chemistry of biological Rieske and mitoNEET clusters. PCET from [Fe2S2((Pr)bbim)((Pr)bbimH)](2-) (4) and [Fe2S2((Pr)bbim)((Pr)bbimH2)](1-) (5) to TEMPO occurs via concerte...
