We consider the situation where a multicomponent solid is etched using one or more acids. Of fundamental interest is the rate of surface etching but when this involves multicomponent surface reactions, it becomes unclear how the overall rate can be estimated. In this paper, we sketch a simple model designed to determine the effective etching rate by means of an atomic scale model of the etching...

In this paper, the physico-chemical basics of the sectional multicomponent aerosol model SEMA are described. SEMA includes condensation and evaporation of sulphuric acid, nitric acid, hydrogen chloride, ammonia, and water vapour. The model can be applied to predictions of the chemical composition and size distribution of aqueous tropospheric secondary and marine aerosols. In SEMA, multicomponen...

Multicomponent reactions (MCRs) are one of the most important processes for the preparation of highly functionalized organic compounds in modern synthetic chemistry. As shown in this review, they play an important role in organophosphorus chemistry where phosphorus reagents are used as substrates for the synthesis of a wide range of phosphorylated heterocycles. In this article, an overview abou...

The obstructions to the existence of a hierarchy of hydrodynamic conservation laws are studied for a multicomponent dispersionless KdV system. It is shown that if an underlying algebra is Jordan, then the lowest obstruction vanishes and that all higher obstructions automatically vanish. Deformations of these multicomponent dispersionless KdV-type equations are also studied. No new obstructions ...

The Discrete Fractional Fourier Transform is a useful tool for multicomponent chirp parameter estimation, however much of the current work ignores the presense of noise. In recent work, a projection-subspace approach to DFrFTbased multicomponent chirp parameter estimation was proposed, to exploit the robustness of subspace decomposition methods. This paper refines the prior projection-subspace ...

The exact normalization of a multicomponent generalization of the ground state wavefunction of the Calogero-Sutherland model is conjectured. This result is obtained from a conjectured generalization of Selberg’s N -dimensional extension of the Euler beta integral, written as a trigonometric integral. A new proof of the Selberg integral is given, and the method is used to provide a proof of the ...

BACKGROUND Sustainability is the core of a successful health-related intervention program. This study was conducted to evaluate the sustainability of interventions of the Heart Health Promotion from Childhood (HHPC) project, one of the 10 interventional projects of the Isfahan Healthy Heart Program. METHODS The evaluation of HHPC included administrating surveys to 500 elementary and middle, a...

Delirium, an acute decline in attention and cognition, occurs among hospitalized patients at rates estimated to range from 14% to 56% and increases the risk for morbidity and mortality. The purpose of this systematic review was to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of in-facility multicomponent delirium prevention programs. A search of 6 databases (including MEDLINE, EMBASE, and CINAHL) was ...

A simple multiple contact transfer technique has been developed for controllable fabrication of multilevel, multicomponent microarchitectures of vertically aligned carbon nanotubes (VA-CNTs). Three dimensional (3-D) multicomponent micropatterns of aligned single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) and multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) have been fabricated, which can be used to develop a newly de...
