The performance of photocatalytic advanced oxidation must be improved in order for the technology to make jump from academic research widespread use. Research is needed on factors that cause photocatalysis become self-limiting. In this study, we introduced, first time, nanobubbles continuously into a running reactor. Synthetic air, O2, and N2 bubbles size range 40 700 nm were added reaction sys...

The nitric oxide (NO) formation in methane (CH4) flames has been widely investigated, with quite a few kinetic mechanisms available the literature. However, studies have shown that there are often discrepancies between simulations using various and experimental results. To elucidate reactions leading to these discrepancies, experiments were designed measure NO post flame zone of CH4+O2+N2 oxyge...

Dissociation of the strong bonds in O2, NO, CO, and N2 often involves large activation barriers on low-index planes of metal particles used as catalysts. These kinetic hurdles reflect the noble nature of some metals (O2 activation on Au), the high coverages of co-reactants (O2 activation during CO oxidation on Pt), or the strength of the chemical bonds (NO on Pt, CO and N2 on Ru). High barriers...

The objective with this study is to develop and calibrate an invasive data logger to measure muscle O2 saturation in large, freely diving whales. We intend to use this data logger to measure muscle O2 saturation and determine how blood flow to muscle is altered during diving. These data will be important to determine if muscle blood flow is reduced during diving, and important to estimate how t...

A proper description of the collisional perturbation shapes molecular resonances is important for remote spectroscopic studies terrestrial atmosphere. Of particular relevance are collisions between O2 and N2 molecules—the two most abundant atmospheric species. In this work, we report a new highly accurate O2(X3?g?)–N2(X1?g+) potential energy surface use it performing first quantum scattering ca...
