Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry has been used to study the temperature and deuterium isotope effects on the methyl cation transfer reaction between protonated dimethyl ether and dimethyl ether to produce trimethyloxonium cation and methanol. From the temperature dependence of this bimolecular reaction it was possible to obtain thermodynamic information concerning the...

In a recent paper [V. N. Novikov, K. S. Schweizer, and A. P. Sokolov, J. Chem. Phys. 138, 164508 (2013)] a simple analytical ansatz has been proposed to describe the momentum transfer (Q) dependence of the collective relaxation time of glass-forming systems in a wide Q-range covering the region of the first maximum of the static structure factor S(Q) and the so-called intermediate length scale ...

The use of Finite Element (FE) simulation software to adequately predict the outcome of sheet metal forming processes is crucial to enhancing the efficiency and lowering the development time of such processes, whilst reducing costs involved in trial-and-error prototyping. Recent focus on the substitution of steel components with aluminum alloy alternatives in the automotive and aerospace sector...

Relevant final product quality factors for chicken meat burgers after frying and during consumption are for instance shape, shrinkage and bite. These parameters are not only determined by meat composition but also by the different processing steps. The interacting effects of process conditions and meat composition are extremely important for defining the final product properties. In the present...

Divalent cations and polysaccharides such as inulin and dextran reversibly inhibited hemolysis of rabbit erythrocytes caused by Vibrio metschnikovii cytolysin. On the basis of the 50% inhibitory doses, the cations were divided into two groups, group I (Cd2+, Cu2+, Ni2+, Sn2+, and Zn2+) and group II (Ba2+, Ca2+, Co2+, Mg2+, Mn2+, and Sr2+). Neither divalent cations nor polysaccharides interfered...

The variation with respect to temperature T of transport properties of 58 fragile structural glass-forming liquids (67 data sets in total) are analyzed and shown to exhibit a remarkable degree of universality. In particular, super-Arrhenius behaviors of all supercooled liquids appear to collapse to one parabola for which there is no singular behavior at any finite temperature. This behavior is ...

Heteropoly acid promoted nanoparticle of nickel oxide samples were prepared by sol-gel method using heteropoly acids. Prepared composite was characterized by XRD, FT-IR and ICP technique. In this work, we have reported bromination of phenol, its derivatives and some aromatic compounds. The liquid phase bromination of phenol was Performed using heteropoly acids immobilized nanoparticle of nickel...

High-temperature inactivation of passive potassium transport is demonstrated for mouse cell cultures and discussed in analogy to recent results on model systems from phospholipid/cholesterol doted with channel-forming antibiotics.
