Finite PMC surfaces have been analyzed with the help of a commercial software. The PMC effect is illustrated and the amplitude of successive evanescent waves is analyzed. It is found that the evanescent waves, as well as the effects of array truncation, are the strongest near the PMC. The evanescent waves may have a strong impact on the reactive component of antennas placed near the surface.

The nanoscopic properties of highly diluted water solutions in choline chloride + lactic acid deep eutectic solvent was studied using molecular dynamics simulations as a function concentration and temperature with the objective characterize confinement solvents non-regular mechanism. allowed analysis changes response to presence well behaviour confined cavities. structural, energetic dynamic fa...

Formic acid/choline chloride (F-DES), one of high-efficiency deep eutectic solvents (DES) for lignocellulose pretreatment, has great potential in the production nanocellulose (NC). In this work, integrated preparation cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) and nanofibrils (CNFs) was developed using F-DES pretreatment following ball milling. Then, properties resultant NC products (F-NC) were comprehensiv...

The possibility that the autonomic nervous system may influence the function of intestinal mucosa was investigated by assessing the effect of acetyl choline on ion transport in human intestine. Isolated pieces of stripped ileal mucosa were mounted in Perspex flux-chambers and bathed in isotonic glucose Ringer's solution. Acetyl choline caused a rise in mean potential difference (8.8-12.3 mV, P ...

The work of Moyer and du Vigneaud (1) has demonstrated that, of a considerable number of compounds related to choline, choline itself, betaine, its sulfur analogue dimethylthetin, and the dimethylethyl analogue of choline, i.e. dimethylethyl-P-hydroxyethylammonium chloride, are the only ones which will permit rat growth on a methionine-free homocystinecontaining diet. Subsequent work by Dubnoff...

Deep eutectic solvents (DES) are compounds of a hydrogen bond donor (HBD) and acceptor (HBA) that contain depressed melting point compared to their individual constituents. DES have been studied for use as carbon capture media biogas upgrading. However, contaminants’ presence in might affect the by DES. In this study, conductor-like screening model real (COSMO-RS) was used determine effect temp...

studied previously. Individually penned Finnish Landrace and Yorkshire pigs (30 kg; n=70) were fed basal diet with no added betaine or choline, the basal diet supplemented with 250, 500 or 1000 mg/kg of betaine (Betafin r S1), or with a similar molar amount of choline (578, 1155 or 2310 mg/kg of choline chloride). The net energy content of the maizesoybean meal basal diet was diluted with oat h...

The prediction of the service life of concrete materials is difficult, mainly because of their complex heterogeneous microstructure and their random nature. Studying the presence of cracks in concrete and their effect on chloride transport and binding properties is of great interest in civil engineering. Cracks with different widths and depths will reduce the effective cover thickness and accel...
