In the previous communication (1) it was reported that the reaction of ribonuclease A with the bifunctional reagent, 1,5difluoro-2,4-dinitrobenzene leads to the formation of three major cross-linked derivatives. Each of them was shown to contain one N , N’-2,4-dinitrophenylene 1,5-cross-link per mole of the derivative. In this communication we are describing the structure of one of these deriva...

Densities , viscosities and ultrasonic velocities has been measured for the ternary mixture involving morpholine(1) + cyclohexanone(2) + 1hexanol(3) at 308.15K and 318.15K over the entire range of mole fraction. Parameters like excess volume, adiabatic compressibility, free volume, linear free energy, acoustic impedance, relative association and isentropic compressibility were calculated. From ...

We propose an empirically derived model that estimates the extent of reaction for albitization of plagioclase as a function of time, grain surface area, and temperature from 0 to 200°C. We use a kinetic formulation independent of pressure, and consistent with the Rate Law, which quantifies the dependence of the reaction rate on the initial concentration of the reacting material, and the Arrheni...

In this work, a method to estimate solid elemental sulfur solubility in pure and gas mixtures using Monte Carlo (MC) molecular simulation is proposed. This method is based on Isobaric-Isothermal (NPT) ensemble and the Widom insertion technique for the gas phase and a continuum model for the solid phase. This method avoids the difficulty of having to deal with high rejection rates that are usual...

Calcined coke is an important material for making carbon anodes for smelting of alumina to aluminum. Calcining is an energy intensive industry and a significant amount of heat is wasted in the calcining process. Efficiently managing this energy resource is tied to the profit margin and survivability of a calcining plant. To help improve the energy efficiency of the calcining process, a 3-D comp...

The complexation reactions between methylthymol blue (MTB) and Co2+, Ni2+, Cu2+, Zn2+ and Pb2+ ions have been studied in different water-methanol mixtures at pH 4.45 and 25 °C by a spectrophotometric technique. The stepwise stability constants of the resulting 1:1 and 2:1 (metal ion to ligand) complexes were determined from the absorban...

A recently developed phase-field model for simulating diffusion-induced grain boundary migration (DIGM) is applied to binary Fe–Zn. The driving force the assumed come from coherency strain energy mechanism suggested by Sulonen. effect of angle with surface on velocity studied in detail. simulation results compare favorably experimental observations, such as oscillatory motion boundary, moving d...

The cause of the anomalous mole fraction effect (AMFE) in calcium-selective ion channels is studied. An AMFE occurs when the conductance through a channel is lower in a mixture of salts than in the pure salts at the same concentration. The textbook interpretation of the AMFE is that multiple ions move through the pore in coordinated, single-file motion. Instead of this, we find that at its most...
