One of the major shortcomings to be addressed in the widespread applications of biodiesel fuel for compression ignition engines is the formation of higher nitric oxide emissions. It is well established in the literature that thermal nitric oxide is a dominant source for nitric oxide formation in engines. Thermal nitri…

Titanium dioxide (TiO2) thin films are grown by the sol-gel dip-coating technique, in conjunction with SnO2 in the form of a heterostructure. It was found that the crystalline structure of the most internal layer (TiO2) depends on the thermal annealing temperature and the substrate type. Films deposited on glass subst…

A meaningful organic quantum well based on crystalline heteroepitaxy films is constructed. The quantum confinement effect is demonstrated by its reflections on optics and electrics: the blueshift of the optical characteristic peaks and the negative differential resistance at room temperature. The realization of an org…

Abstract Hydrolysis of germanosilicate zeolites with the IWW structure shows two different outcomes depending on the composition of the starting materials. Ge‐rich IWW (Si/Ge=3.1) is disassembled into a layered material (IPC‐5P), which can be reassembled into an almost pure silica IWW on treatment with diethoxydimethy…

This paper presents the research on fracture failure analysis and failure criterion for PTFE-coated woven fabrics. First, groups of on-axial and off-axial tensile tests are carried out, and the corresponding failure mechanisms are analyzed. Then, the samples with initial defects are tested and the fracture toughness i…

We investigate the effect of ring exchange on the ground-state properties and magnetic excitations of the $S=1/2$ Heisenberg model on the anisotropic triangular lattice with ring exchange at $T=0$ using linear spin-wave theory. Classically, we find stable N\'eel, spiral and collinear magnetically ordered phases. Upon…

The surface chemistry of oxygen and oxygenates on Rutile TiO2(110) is of great interest for various applications such as heterogeneous catalysis and photo catalysis. Though it is generally accepted that surface defects are active sites, the role of subsurface defects is under debate. We have therefore investigated the…

The economic and ecological importance of the oyster necessitates further research on the molecular mechanisms, which both regulate the commercially important traits of the oyster and help it to survive in the variable marine environment. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) have been widely used to assess genetic v…

We formulate low Mach number fluctuating hydrodynamic equations appropriate for modeling diffusive mixing in isothermal mixtures of fluids with different density and transport coefficients. These equations represent a coarse-graining of the microscopic dynamics of the fluid molecules in both space and time and elimina…

The well-known vapor-liquid-solid (VLS) mechanism results in high-purity, single-crystalline wires with few defects and controllable diameters, and is the method of choice for the growth of nanowires for a vast array of nanoelectronic devices. It is of utmost importance, therefore, to understand how such wires interac…

The partition behavior of small compounds in aqueous two-phase systems (ATPS) is less characterized (compared to biomacromolecules), since the liquid-liquid fractionation of such compounds is commonly done on organic-aqueous biphasic systems. In this study, five standard compounds (iohexol, salicin, chlorogenic acid,…

Chitosan (CS) and microporous titanosilicate ETS-10/CS mixed matrix membranes (MMMs) were prepared. The pervaporation performance was tested on the water-ethanol mixtures in the range 85–96 wt.% ethanol. The permeate flux increased from 0.45 to 0.55 kg m−2 h−1 at 50°C for the ETS-10/CS MMM with respect to the pure CS…
