• The performance of a reactive distillation column with cyclic operation is analysed. This the first simulation for an equilibrium reaction. Conventional and are compared production MTBE. In this paper MTBE from isobutene methanol via studied mass energy balance stage model. study shows application model, where reaction assumed. A process design equivalent to conventional has been simulated. o...

To investigate the variation in the characteristics of rock microstructure after cyclic dynamic disturbances, a split Hopkinson pressure bar (SHPB) was used to carry out cyclic dynamic impact tests on granite, and the P-wave velocity was used as the characteristic parameter representing the microstructural change. Using the nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) technique, the porosity and the T2 dis...

Finite affine groups are given by groups of translations and di- lations on finite cyclic groups. For cyclic groups of prime order we develop a time-scale (wavelet) analysis and show that for a large class of non-zero window signals/vectors, the generated full cyclic wavelet system constitutes a frame whose canonical dual is a cyclic wavelet frame.

Cyclic AMP (cAMP) and cGMP regulate a myriad of cellular functions, such as metabolism, contractility, motility, and transcription in virtually all cell types, including those of the cardiovascular system. Considerable effort over the last 20 years has allowed identification of the cellular components involved in the synthesis of cyclic nucleotides, as well as effectors of cyclic nucleotide-med...

experimental study of the cyclic behavior of unsaturated materials is more complex than that of the saturated materials due to the required equipment, experience and time. furthering investigations in the field of unsaturated materials is necessary to better understand its complexity and sensitivity of unsaturated cyclic parameters to different determinants such as suction path, stress path, lo...

Our research group is implicated on the design and synthesis of supramolecular structures based on self-assembling cyclic peptides, particularly alpha,gamma-cyclic peptides (CPs). Most of these structures: dimer, nanotubes, fiber, etc, are based on beta-sheet type interactions. The CPs form structures that have allowed preparing a large variety of structures with applications in ion channels, e...

The effect of Escherichia coli heat-stable (ST) enterotoxin on calcium and cyclic nucleotide metabolism in rat basophilic leukemia cell cultures was investigated. Addition of ST enterotoxin to rat basophilic leukemia cell cultures resulted in dose- and time-dependent stimulation of calcium uptake and elevation of the intracellular cyclic GMP (cGMP) concentration. The effect of ST enterotoxin on...
