The purpose of this study was to characterize the etching mechanism, namely, the etching rate and the activation energy, of a titanium dental implant in concentrated acid and to construct the relation between the activation energy and the nanoscale surface topographies. A commercially-pure titanium (CP Ti) and Ti-6Al-4V ELI surface were tested by shot blasting (pressure, grain size, blasting di...

A quasielastic neutron scattering experiment has revealed the dynamics of surface water in a high surface area zirconium oxide in the temperature range of 300-360 K. The characteristic times of the rotational (picoseconds) and translational (tens of picoseconds) components of diffusion motion are well separated. The rotational correlation time shows an Arrhenius-type behavior with an activation...

The phenomenon of the glass transition is an unresolved problem in condensed matter physics. Its prominent feature, the super-Arrhenius temperature dependence of the transport coefficients, remains a challenge to be described over the full temperature range. For a series of molecular glass formers, we combined τ(T) collected from dielectric spectroscopy and dynamic light scattering covering a r...

in the present research work, the kinetics of sunflower oil transesterification reaction in the presence of ba-sr/zsm-5 nanocatalyst which prepared using incipient wetness impregnation method was investigated. the 10wt.%ba-sr/zsm-5 (sr/ba=3/2) nanocatalyst was calcined at 600 °c for 6 h with a heating rate of 3 ºc/min. the experimental conditions were the methanol/oil 9/1molar ratio, reaction t...

In this research the drying of four kinds of vegetables was investigated in a vacuum dryer. The effect of temperature on drying rate of samples at various temperatures (30, 35 and 45 °C) was studied. Six thin-layer drying models were fitted to drying data and suitable model was selected from them. Then effective moisture diffusivity and ...

Frequency Domain Spectroscopy (FDS) is widely used to estimate oil–paper insulation. The high moisture and long aging change the FDS characteristics of insulating oil–paper, so normalization processing required. Still, choice single activation energy needs further research. This paper studies characteristic insulation samples with different degrees improves traditional temperature correction me...

The divalent cation ionophore A23187 has been used to examine the steady state kinetics of energy-dependent Ca2+ uptake with /3-hydroxybutyrate as oxidizable substrate, and these results have been compared to the kinetic parameters obtained with succinate as the available energy source. The kinetics are sigmoidal with the free Ca*+ concentration at half-maximal respiratory stimulation (K,,,,) e...
