Abstract A new method for detection of polymer-based scale inhibitors is presented. This method is based on traditional chromatographic technique (HPLC) combined with a novel detection system. Real samples were obtained from several commercial squeeze programs performed on various North Sea fields. The scale inhibitor…

The atomic structure of the graphene/α-SiO(2)(0001) interface under electric field F with different intensities is studied using the density functional theory method. Simulation results indicate that the atomic structure of the graphene/α-SiO(2)(0001) interface has only a slight change under the condition of F≤0.02 au…

Abstract In this research, the nucleation kinetics and inhibition of ferrous carbonate (siderite) were investigated in a batch reactor under rigorously anoxic conditions in the absence of reducing agents. The nucleation kinetics of ferrous carbonate in 0.01 m NaCl solutions was measured from 25°C to 65°C at constant s…

Sulfur-containing compounds, such as mercaptans, alkali sulfides, alkali sulfites, and alkali thiosulfates, are byproducts of industrial processes and pollutants of waste and natural waters. Other sulfur-containing compounds such as yperite are dangerous chemical weapons. Efficient photocatalytic decomposition of thes…

Abstract We re-investigate the theory of deformations of tilings using P -equivariant cohomology. In particular, we relate the notion of asymptotically negligible shape functions introduced by Clark and Sadun to weakly P -equivariant forms. We then investigate more closely the relation between deformations of patterns…

In this study new compositions of polyphosphate coacervates were obtained with the ions Ni (2+) and Co (2+). Samples of the glassy systems were prepared with proportions P/M (+2) varying between 0.5 and 10. The qualitative and quantitative description of the first coordination shells of the transition metal were obtai…

Abstract The purpose of this study is to correlate the nano‐organization in water of coil‐rod‐coil amphiphilic block copolymers constituted of a conjugated segment to their optoelectronic properties. The ABA block copolymer structures, easily achieved via coupling reactions, are based on conjugated rod of dihexylfluor…

The temporal evolution of photoluminescence in individual single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNT) under strong laser irradiation is studied and pronounced blinking and bleaching is observed, caused by photoinduced oxidation that subsequently quenches mobile excitons. The nanotubes are isolated with sodium cholate and sp…

Mutations at the flügellos (fl) locus in Bombyx mori produce wingless pupae and moths because of the repressed response of wing discs to ecdysteroid. Four recessive fl alleles occurred spontaneously and were mapped at 13.0 of the silkworm genetic linkage group 10. By positional cloning, we confirmed that the gene resp…

Ion irradiation of ${\text{Fe}}_{60}{\text{Al}}_{40}$ alloys results in the phase transformation from the paramagnetic, chemically ordered B2 phase to the ferromagnetic, chemically disordered A2 phase. The magnetic phase transformation is related to the number of displacements per atom (dpa) during the irradiation. Fo…

A copper-rich cereal: Superhydrophobic copper particles show a very large Cheerios effect and rapidly self-assemble into robust sheets on the surface of water. These sheets can support objects (including water drops, see photo) placed on them, even though the irregular geometry of the particles means that they contain…
