Spectrophotometric, kinetic, and nuclear magnetic resonance studies indicate that alkaline sodium picrate and creatinine react to form a 1/1 aduct between picric and creatinine, with a stability constant of log K= 4.26. Kinetic studies indicate that the forward reaction is first order with respect to picric acid, hydroxide, and creatinine concentration. The reverse reaction, the dissociation of...

We investigate the formation of misfit dislocations in strained heteroepitaxial crystal growth and their influence on the structure of the growing layers. We use Kinetic Monte Carlo simulations for an off-lattice model in 1+1 dimensions with Lennard-Jones interactions. Two different types of the formation of dislocations are found, depending on the sign and the magnitude of the misfit. Misfit d...

Activated sludge process is a highly effective and commonly adapted method of aerobic biological treatment systems and is normally designed on the basis of simplified hydraulic related parameters. Designs of biological treatment systems based on hydraulic considerations are not adequate to ensure efficient operation. This is due to the wide variation in the composition of wastewater and the com...

Mitochondria are often regarded as a major source of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in animal cells, with H2O2 being the predominant ROS released from mitochondria; however, it has been recently demonstrated that energized brain mitochondria may act as stabilizers of H2O2 concentration (Starkov et al. [1]) based on the balance between production and the consumption of H2O2, the later of which is...

This paper is a continuation of earlier work [6] in which we presented an automatic domain decomposition method for the solution of gas dynamics problems which require a localized resolution of the kinetic scale. The basic idea is to couple the macroscopic hydrodynamics model and the microscopic kinetic model through a buffer zone in which both equations are solved. Discontinuities or sharp gra...

Information about ligand binding, dissociation, internalization, and intracellular processing and about receptor turnover, processing, and insertion into the membrane is contained in the time-dependent changes in concentrations of membrane-associated and internalized ligand. Single experiments similar in design to those typically performed for Scatchard analyses of binding data conducted at phy...

Ca2+ + Mg2+-dependent ATPase from sarcoplasmic reticulum was inhibited by preincubation with vanadate. When the inhibited enzyme was preincubated in the presence of vanadate and assayed in its absence, a slow reactivation process was observed. This slow, hysteretic, process was exploited to study the influence of Ca2+ and ATP on the dissociation of vanadate. Ca2+ alone slowly displaced vanadate...

on the basis of experimental data a kinetic model for the heterogeneous interaction between alkylperoxyradicals and organic compounds in langmuir- hinshelwood approach at room temperature has been offered.the effect of oxygen on the kinetics of process in the presence, [o2]o = 1 x 1011 – 1.6 x 1012 molecules.cm-2, and absence of oxygen has been analyzed. over time the chain degenerate branching...

background: for an effective treatment planning in brachytherapy, it is necessary to know the accurate source dosimetric information such as air kerma strength, exposure rate constant, dose rate constant and redial dose distribution. the usual method to determine these factors is thermo luminescent dosimeter (tld) dosimetry. nowadays, another more accurate method is known to be the monte carlo ...
