We have studied the composition dependence of density liquid water-DMSO mixtures at different temperatures by using isobaric-isothermal (NPT) molecular dynamics computer simulations. The non-polarizable semi-flexible, P1 and P2 models for DMSO molecule combined with TIP4P-2005 water model are considered. excess mixing volume apparent molar volumes species reported. established that P1-TIP4P-200...

We report structural, electronic, magnetic, and magnetocaloric studies of polycrystalline DyMnO3 its A-site Gd substituents, Dy1?xGdxMnO3, where 0 ? x 1. Detailed comparison various parameters shows that Dy0.5Gd0.5MnO3 has the best values with a large isothermal magnetic entropy change, ??Smmax~ 15.35 J/kg K, adiabatic temperature ?Tadmax~ 6.15 K relative cooling power, RCP ~ 307 J/kg, suggesti...

The effect of temperature and NaCl concentration variations on the self-assembly of 1-methyl-3-tetradecylimidazolium (C14mim(+)) and 4-sulfonatocalix[6]arene (SCX6) was studied by dynamic light scattering and isothermal calorimetric methods at pH 7. Inclusion complex formation promoted the self-assembly to spherical nanoparticles (NP), which transformed to supramolecular micelles (SM) in the pr...

CdTe film was deposited using the electrophoretic deposition technique onto an ITO glass at various bath temperatures. Four batch film compositions were used by mixing 1 to 4 wt% concentration of CdTe powder with 10 mL of a solution of methanol and toluene. X-ray Diffraction analysis showed that the films exhibited polycrystalline nature of zinc-blende structure with the (111) orientation as th...

Blade cooling is a relevant topic in the design of modern gas turbine engines, because of the increase in performance due to the resulting increase in the inlet turbine temperature is counteracted by a corresponding decrease due to the air extraction from the high-p compressor. In this paper, a previous model published by De Paepe & Dick is revisited and extended: while the original model consi...

In this study, a one-step, real-time, loop-mediated isothermal amplification (RealAmp) assay was developed, for the highly specific detection of pork DNA. For the assay, the mtDNA of cytochrome b (cytb) gene was amplified at 63 °C using SYBR Green I for 45 min with a Real-Time Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) System that measured the fluorescent signal at one-minute intervals. As little as 1 pg ...

We propose a method for solving linear space-time variant blind source separation (BSS) problem with additive noise, x=As+n, on the “pixelby-pixel” basis i.e. assuming that unknown mixing matrix is different for every space or time location. Solution corresponds with the isothermal-To equilibrium of the free energy H =U-ToS contrast function where U represents the input/output energy exchange a...

A better knowledge of the transport and thermodynamic properties for the refrigerant+lubricant system is required to properly design the refrigeration circuit. This is essential also to develop proper models able to predict the behavior of the mixture refrigerant+lubricant depending on the working conditions. However, the experimental data available in literature are insufficient to build dedic...

This work describes the thermal stability and magnetic properties of polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF)/magnetite nanocomposites fabricated using the solution mixing technique. The image of transmission electron microscopy for PVDF/magnetite nanocomposites reveals that the 13 nm magnetite nanoparticles are well distributed in PVDF matrix. The electroactive β-phase and piezoelectric responses of PVD...

Galactic disks are highly responsive systems that often undergo external perturbations and subsequent collisionless equilibration, predominantly via phase-mixing. We use linear perturbation theory to study the response of infinite isothermal slab analogues with diverse spatio-temporal characteristics. Without self-gravity response, dominant Fourier modes get excited in a disk bending breathing ...
