a simple mathematical model of steady state  oxygen distribution subject to diffusive transport and non- linear uptake in a retinal cylinder has been developed. the approximate analytical solution to a reaction- diffusion equation are obtained by using series expansions. the computational results for the scaled variables are presented through graphs. the effect of the important parameters (1) d...

ginger waste material (gwm) has been utilized as adsorbent for removal of hazardouspatent blue vf (pbvf) dye from aqueous solution. batch adsorption experiments wereperformed as a function of ph, contact time, dye concentration, adsorbent dose and temperature.the optimum ph required for the maximum adsorption was found to be 2. the experimentalequilibrium adsorption data were tested using langm...

In cell biology, cell signaling pathway problems are often tackled with deterministic temporal models, well mixed stochastic simulators, and/or hybrid methods. But, in fact, three dimensional stochastic spatial modeling of reactions happening inside the cell is needed in order to fully understand these cell signaling pathways. This is because noise effects, low molecular concentrations, and spa...

A kinetic model of the Boltzmann equation for chemical reactions without energy barrier is considered here with the aim of evaluating the reaction rate and characterizing the transport coefficient of shear viscosity for the reactive system. The Chapman-Enskog solution of the Boltzmann equation is used to compute the chemical reaction effects, in a flow regime for which the reaction process is c...

The conventional methods of simplified kinetics modeling through the use of partial-equilibrium and quasi-steady approximations are reviewed and critiqued. The method of computational singular perturbation (CSP) is then presented with special emphasis on the interpretation of CSP data to obtain physical insights on massively complex reaction systems. A simple example is used to demonstrate how ...

Conventional measures such as maximum plasma concentration (C max ) and area under the concentration versus time curve (AUC) may be insufficient to fully describe the pharmacokinetic (PK) profile of extended-release (ER) formulations. A complementary measure, the half-value duration (HVD), corresponds to the period of time during a dosing cycle that plasma concentration is at or above half the ...

Chemical clocks are often used as exciting classroom experiments, where an induction time is followed by rapidly changing colours that expose oscillating concentration patterns. This type of reaction belongs to a class of nonlinear chemical kinetics also linked to chaos, wave propagation and Turing patterns. Despite its vastness in occurrence and applicability, the clock reaction is only well u...

Since 1979 various papers and have been published on modeling the gate dielectric using Time Dependent Dielectric Breakdown (TDDB) testing. There are primarily 2 models used, the linear E field model and the 1/E field model. These are based on different failure kinetics and both predict vastly different lifetimes for the dielectric. As a result the majority of I.C. manufacturers used the 1/E mo...
