An exact analytical solution of the statistical multifragmentation model is found in thermodynamic limit. Excluded volume effects are taken into account in the thermodynamically self-consistent way. The model exhibits a 1-st order phase transition of the liquid-gas type. An extension of the model including the Fisher’s term is also studied. The possibility of the second order phase transition a...

Kepler has detected numerous exoplanet transits by measuring stellar light in a single visible-wavelength band. In addition to detection, the precise photometry provides phase curves of exoplanets, which can be used to study the dynamic processes on these planets. However, the interpretation of these observations can be complicated by the fact that visible-wavelength phase curves can represent ...

Numerous laboratory studies report carbon monoxide, hydrocarbon, and particulate matter emission reductions with a slight nitrogen oxides emission increase from engines operating with biodiesel and biodiesel blends as compared to using petroleum diesel. We conducted a field study on a fleet of school buses to evaluate the effects of biodiesel use on gaseous and particulate matter fuel-based emi...

Thermodynamic analysis of the chemical vapor deposition (CVD) of P3N5 has been performed using the method of the minimization of the Gibbs' free energy in order to evaluate the pH3-NH -N , PCI3-NH3-H2 and PBr3-NH3-H2 gaseous mixtures for their 3. 2 potential to synthesize slngle-phase P N films at high yields. The conditions for the 3 5 deposition of P3N5 have been determined as a function of i...

Structural characterization of proteins in the gas phase is becoming increasingly popular, highlighting the need for a greater understanding of how proteins behave in the absence of solvent. It is clear that charged residues exert significant influence over structures in the gas phase due to strong Coulombic and hydrogen-bonding interactions. The net charge for a gaseous ion is easily identifie...

Extensive exploration of the conformational space of neutral, protonated and deprotonated histidine has been conducted at the G4MP2 level. Theoretical protonation and deprotonation thermochemistry as well as heats of formation of gaseous histidine and its ionized forms have been calculated at the G4 level considering either the most stable conformers or an equilibrium population of conformers a...

This paper includes the significant on-site experience of the authors related to problems faced in amine systems with fresh amine and their possible solutions in phases#2&3 of South Pars gas                complex. The amine system was designed as a closed circuit system with the primary objective of removing H2S, CO2, and other acidic components from gaseous hydrocarbon streams. Amine plant op...

By using density functional theory (DFT) in B3LYP/6-311++G(d, p) level of theory and conductor-like polarizable continuum modem (CPCM) we examined solvent effects on energy levels in C 5 H 4 for both singlet and triplet states. For this purpose, different solvents, such as gaseous and aqueous solvents, Diethyl ether, Nitro methane, DMSO, Acetonitrile, Methanol, Ethanol, Acetone, Dichloroethane,...

Z. Naturforsch. 53 b, 1343-1351 (1998); eingegangen am 21. Juli 1998 Aluminium Neodymium Chloride, Decomposition, Thermochemical Data, Enthalpy, Entropy The thermodynamical data of solid and gaseous aluminium neodymium chloride have been obtained by determination of the decomposition equilibria (of solid) from total pressure mea­ surements and chemical transport reactions (gaseous). The melting...

This work aims to characterize levels and phase distribution of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in indoor air of preschool environment and to assess the impact of outdoor PAH emissions to indoor environment. Gaseous and particulate (PM1 and PM(2.5)) PAHs (16 USEPA priority pollutants, plus dibenzo[a,l]pyrene, and benzo[j]fluoranthene) were concurrently sampled indoors and outdoors in on...
