Abstract The kinetic of the reaction of sand with aqueous NaOH corresponding to the ratio SiO 2 /Na 2 O = 2 was studied in a pressure vessel at 220°C and 2.7 MPa. Since the kinetic curves could not be obtained directly from the experimental data, a new method is proposed to plot the entire kinetic graph from experimen…

The utility of the growth mechanism to influence relative particle growth is investigated in a semi-batch reactor. A dynamic competitive growth model is developed and used to simulate the growth of two monodisperse polystyrene particle populations (bidisperse system) at 50 °C. Validation of the model with on-line dens…

Abstract. We study dynamical hysteresis in a simple class of nonlinear ordinary differential equations, namely first-order equations subject to sinusoidal forcing. The assumed nonlinearities are such that the area of the hysteresis loop vanishes as the forcing frequency tends to zero; in other words, there is no stati…

The sound radiation of 3-MHz acoustically driven air bubbles in liquid is analyzed with respect to possible applications in second harmonic ultrasound diagnostics devices, which have recently come into clinical use. In the forcing pressure amplitude Pa=1–10 atm and ambient radius R0=0.5–5 μm parameter domain, a narrow…

We describe a new method for assessing the Ca/P ratio of bone in vivo using gamma-ray photon absorptiometry. The theoretical approach of the method and the estimation of the variance are presented. Two radiation sources, Gd-153 (100 keV), and I-125 (27.5 keV), and a germanium detector were used to determine this ratio…

Blends of acrylic polymer (containing acrylonitrile 91.7%, methyl acrylate 7%, and sodium methyl propenyl sulfonate 1.3% [wt %], denoted as PAC) with silk fibroin (SF) were studied in the form of drawn fibers with varied compositions. The strength, elongation, and specific work of rupture of the blend fibers decrease…

Poly-beta-hydroxybutyrate (PHB) synthesis in a cyanobacterium, Synechococcus sp. strain MA19, is controlled at the enzyme level and is dependent on the C/N balance in the culture medium. The control involves at least two enzymes. The first enzyme is PHB synthase. Little PHB synthase activity was detected in crude extr…

We investigate the domain growth and phase separation of two-dimensional binary immiscible fluid systems using dissipative particle dynamics. Our results are compared with similar simulations using other techniques, and we conclude that dissipative particle dynamics is a promising method for simulating these systems.
