Abstract The corrosion behavior of TiZrHfBeCu(Ni) high-entropy bulk metallic glasses (HE-BMGs) has been investigated. HE-BMGs exhibited high resistance in 3.5 wt. % NaCl solution because accumulation ZrO 2 and TiO the passive film. Ni promoted increases , HfO contents a decrease BeO content, which improved HE-BMG behavior. Compared with Zr 41.2 Ti 13.8 10 Cu 12.5 Be 22.5 BMG, effect can signifi...

The Hansen solubility parameter approach is revisited by implementing the thermodynamics of dissolution and mixing. Hansen's pragmatic approach has earned its spurs in predicting solvents for polymer solutions, but for molecular solutes improvements are needed. By going into the details of entropy and enthalpy, several corrections are suggested that make the methodology thermodynamically sound ...

Introduction: Many kinetic studies have shown that sorption of metals on natural materials results in the formation of metal precipitates. However, the influence of temperature on the kinetic formation of these metal precipitates has not been studied. The effect of temperature on reaction rates is well known and important in understanding reaction mechanisms. For most reactions, the increase in...

the second law of thermodynamic (entropy principle) is of special theo-philosophical importance. it seems that this law, which is renowned as “the death of software design” and despite the order in the world, is like an incompatible universal. this article examines the concept of entropy in the three temperature, statistic, and information applications and addresses the contradiction of the sec...

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.

Curcumin is a phytoconstituent with wide range of biological activity. It is poorly soluble in water. In the present study a new dissolution medium was developed, as there is no validated dissolution method available in the literature. The composition of the dissolution medium was selected on the basis of solubility data at 37 degrees . Solubility data revealed that addition of surfactant may b...

The aims of the study were to observe the dissolution profile of four types of selected fruit powder fast dissolve tablet and apply different dissolution profile comparison methods, in order to select most applicable method. Spray dried powder of pitaya, pineapple, guava and mango were used as raw material. Each type of fruit powder tablet has identical dissolution profile. Dissolution profiles...

The term, Materials Genome (a registered trademark of MaterialsGenome, Inc., Pennsylvania, USA) was coined by the present author in 2002 and recently used with consent in the “Materials Genome Initiative” by the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy. In this paper, the author’s perspectives on Materials Genome, i.e. the building blocks of materials, will be illustrated with severa...

Naproxen is a poor water soluble, non-steroidal analgesic and anti-inflammatory drug. The enhancement of oral bioavailability of poor water soluble drugs remains one of the most challenging aspects of drug development. Although salt formation, solubilization and particle size reduction have commonly been used to increase dissolution rate and thereby oral absorption and bioavailability of low wa...

The aim of this work is to study the spectral statistics of the asymmetric rotor model (triaxial rigid rotator). The asymmetric top is classically integrable and, according to the Berry-Tabor theory, its spectral statistics should be Poissonian. Surprisingly, our numerical results show that the nearest-neighbor spacing distribution P(s) and the spectral rigidity Delta(3)(L) do not follow Poisso...
