Abstract Zerovalent (ZVI) iron has been used in environmental remediation, but the fate of its nanoparticles (NZVI) is hard to find. The present study aimed characterise adsorption processes commercial ZVI inorganic fraction volcanic soils, contributing knowledge process on whole soil. Volcanic soil samples were obtained by calcination method and characterised. A nano-ZVI stable suspension prep...

In recent years, the underground water sources in southern Taiwan have become salinized because of saltwater intrusions. This study explores the adsorption characteristics of activated carbon on salinizing inorganic salts using isothermal adsorption experiments and provides a model analysis. The temperature range for the isothermal adsorption experiments ranged between 5 to 45 °C, and the amoun...

An isothermal process [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isothermal_process] is one which occurs at a constant temperature. In order for such a process to occur there should be a heat reservoir [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_reservoir], a large body in thermal contact with the system which has a temperature that will not significantly change as heat is exchanged with it. We will consider a quasi...

Many astrophysical systems can be approximated as isothermal spheres. In an isothermal sphere, the “foreground” objects can act as lenses on “background” objects in the same distribution. We study gravitational lensing by a singular isothermal sphere analytically. Our results may have interesting applications. PACS numbers: 98.62.Sb, 95.30.Sf Typeset using REVTEX 1

The crystallization of the 3F5FPhF6 compound from liquid crystalline antiferroelectric smectic CA* phase is investigated in various conditions using differential scanning calorimetry and polarizing optical microscopy. kinetics isothermal melt cold studied on basis Avrami model. non-isothermal analysed Ozawa model activation energy determined by Augis-Bennett, Friedman’s isoconversional Matusita...

Herein we show that two isothermal amplification strategies, rolling circle amplification and junction probe strategy, can be used in tandem in the same tube under isothermal conditions to detect HPV16 in clinical cervical swabs. It was discovered that the prior treatment of the clinical sample with a cocktail of restriction endonucleases (REAses) to digest the genomic DNA facilitated the isoth...

non-isothermal crystallization kinetics of polypropylene (pp) and pp containing 0.5 wt% singlewalled carbon nanotubes (pp/swnt) were studied at various cooling rates using differential scanning calorimetry technique. the non-isothermal melt crystallization data were analyzed according to ozawa and cazé-chuah models. although ozawa model was successful in describing the nonisothermal crystalliza...

Molecular dynamics simulations are carried out on the isothermal crystallization process of single polyethylene chains with different chain lengths on the single wall carbon nanotube. This process is summarized as two steps, i.e., adsorption and orientation, and the bond-orientational order parameter is used to show the details of this process. The results show that the attractive van der Waals...

1 The robust isothermal theorem The Moran process on graphs is the standard model for population structure in evolutionary dynamics.1, 2 The process is defined for a directed, weighted graph, G ≡ Gn = (Vn,Wn), where V ≡ Vn := JnK and W ≡ Wn := [wij] is a stochastic matrix of edge weights. The process, denoted by Xt, is Markovian with state space 2 , where each Xt is the subset of V consisting o...
