asphalt modification/reinforcement has received considerable attention as viable solutions to enhance flexible pavement performance. this is mainly prompted by the unsatisfactory performance of traditional road materials exposed to dramatic increases and changes in traffic patterns. this paper presents the evaluation of fatigue behaviour of nano reinforced stone mastic asphalt mixtures. fatigue...

by proposing a predictive method with no adjustable parameter and by using infinite dilution activity coefficients of components in binary mixtures obtained from unifac model, the binary interaction parameters (k12) in van der waals mixing rule (vdwmr) and orbey-sandler mixing rule (osmr) have been evaluated. the predicted binary interaction parameters are used in peng-robinson-stryjek-vera equ...

using the evaporating method, the solubility of potassium nitrate was determined in various mixtures containing water and ethanol at 25°c. the results show that the solubility of kno3 decreases with increasing the mass percent of ethanol in the mixtures. this trend is along with decreasing the dielectric constant of water+ethanol mixtures. moreover, it can be concluded that the totqal solubilit...

the complexation reaction between 1,13-bis(8-quinolyl)-1,4,7,10,13-pentaoxatridecane (kryptofix5) ligand with zn2+, ni2+, co2+, pb2+, mn2+ and cu2+ ions were studied conductometrically in different acetonitrile-nitromethane (an-nm) and acetonitrile-methanol (an-meoh) mixtures. the formation constants of the resulting 1:1 complexes were calculated from the computer fitting of the molar conductan...

Even purified enzyme preparations are often heterogeneous. For example, preparations of aspartate aminotransferase or cytochrome oxidase can consist of several different forms of the enzyme.  For this reason we consider how different the kinetics of the reactions catalysed by a mixture of forms of an enzyme must be to provide some indication of the characteristics of the species present.  Based...

Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) variety mixtures represent a relatively unexplored avenue for maintaining yield and improving flour quality. A field experiment was conducted to examine the responses of three spring wheat varieties in pure variety and in variety mixtures under continuous cropping in Northeast China. Three modern spring wheat varieties, along with a three-variety mixture and a t...

A viscosity model, based on Eyring’s absolute rate theory combined with a cubic PR equation of state and Wong-Sandler mixing rule, has been proposed in order to correlate viscosities of aqueous solutions of alkanolamine mixtures at atmospheric pressure and different temperatures. In the proposed method, the energy and size parameters in studied Equation of State (EoS) have been obtained usi...
