The liquid-gas phase transition in finite nuclei is studied in a heated liquid-drop model where the nuclear drop is assumed to be in thermodynamic equilibrium with its own evaporated nucleonic vapor conserving the total baryon number and isospin of the system. It is found that in the liquid-vapor coexistence region the pressure is not a constant on an isotherm indicating that the transition is ...

Surface pressure-area isotherm and layer-by-layer phospholipid monolayer transfer for fabrication of SLBs: Surface pressure versus area-per-molecule isotherms were recorded using the KSV LB rectangular mini Trough (area, 240 cm 2 ) equipped with a Wilhelmy balance. A platinum sensor of accuracy 0.1 mN/m was used to measure the interfacial surface pressure. A chloroform solution of either one co...

The available shock-wave data for solid .a quartz in the stishovite pressure regime are reduced to a 25øC isotherm and an adiabat, centered at standard conditions, using recent standard density, enthalpy, and coefficient of thermal expansion data. The calculated isothermal bulk modulus, 3 Mb, as determined from the Bireh-Murnaghan equation, depends critically on the value of (dK/dP)•, at zero p...

We found theoretically that competition between 4 f K q ∼ and 2 Qq ∼ terms in the Fourier transformed conformational energy of a single lipid chain, in combination with inter-chain entropic repulsion in the hydrophobic part of the lipid (bi)layer, may cause a crossover on the bilayer pressure-area isotherm 0 ( ) ( ) P A A A α − − ∼ . The crossover manifests itself in the transition from α=5/3 t...

The behavior of a poly(N,N-dimethylacrylamide) hydrophobically modified by incorporating 0.33 mol % of a pyrenyl derivative, [4-(1-pyrenyl)butyl]amine hydrochloride (PY) and 3.56 mol % of dodecylamine (DO) has been studied at the air/water interface. Surface pressure-area isotherm measurements show that the film is initially anchored by the hydrophobic groups at the air-water interface with a p...

the modeling of kinetic and isotherm curves acquired in adsorption of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (pahs) as a model compound (phenanthrene) on activated carbons in the organic solvent. all the runs were carried out in a batch system at atmospheric pressure, process temperature of 24±2°c, and using the 100 ml phenanthrene in cyclohexan. this experimental work was mainly focused on the study...
