Abstract The corrosion and passivation behavior of the as-cast CoCrFeNiMo x ( = 0, 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8, 1.0) high entropy alloys (HEAs) are investigated. With addition Mo, increasing Mo Cr riched σ phase precipitates from primary FCC phase. resistance HEAs strongly depends on structure passive film. Generally, promotes selective dissolution enrichment 2 O 3 in film, former deteriorates while lat...

in this paper we introduce the concept of entropy operator for continuous systems of finite topological entropy. it is shown that it generates the kolmogorov entropy as a special case. if $phi$ is invertible then the entropy operator is bounded with the topological entropy of $phi$ as its norm.

Abstract Equilibrium solubility of triclocarban (TCC) expressed in mole fraction 1,4-dioxane and cyclohexane, as well, 19 {cyclohexane (1) + (2)} mixtures, was determined at seven temperatures from T = (288.15 to 318.15) K. Logarithmic TCC these cosolvent mixtures adequately correlated with a lineal bivariate equation function both the composition temperature. Apparent thermodynamic quantities ...

High-strength TiHfZrNbx high-entropy alloys could become the ideal materials for small-diameter endovascular stents once their corrosion resistance in physiological milieu is confirmed. This work aims at evaluating of a high-entropy-alloys family Hanks’ solution 37 °C and revealing influence niobium on mechanisms dissolution passivation. The were subjected to series static dynamic electrochemic...

the mechanical aspect of entropy-exergy relationship, together with the thermal aspect usually consid-ered, leads to an extended formulation of physical exergy based on both maximum useful work and maximum useful heat that are the outcome of available energy of a thermodynamic system. this approach suggests that a mechanical entropy can be studied, in addition to the already used thermal entrop...

Theoretical calculations have shown that acidic candies may be potentially erosive upon consumption. However, little is known about the protective effect of adding calcium to potentially erosive candies and about the protective effects of saliva that cannot be fully accounted for by theoretical calculations. Therefore, the aims of this study were to (1) determine the erosive potential of acidic...

Personality is known to be relatively stable throughout adulthood. Nevertheless, it has been shown that major life events with high personal significance, including experiences engendered by psychedelic drugs, can have an enduring impact on some core facets of personality. In the present, balanced-order, placebo-controlled study, we investigated biological predictors of post-lysergic acid dieth...

This paper presents an experimental study on the dissolution kinetics and solvent extraction of total gold from Ijero-ekiti (Nigeria) gold ore deposit by hydrochloric acid leaching followed by extraction with Tributylphosphate (TBP) in kerosene. The leaching investigation showed that the gold ore dissolution in HCl solution increases with increasing acid concentration, temperature and with decr...

the estimate of entropy (sample entropy), has been introduced by vasicek (1976), for the first time. in this paper, we provide an estimate of entropy of order statistics, that is the extention of the entropy estimate. then we present an application of the entropy estimate of order statistics as a test statistic for symmetry of distribution versus skewness. the proposed test has been compared wi...
