Aqueous solutions of ascorbic acid in unsupported and supported aqueous solutions and real samples were studied by the kinetics-sensitive double-step voltcoulommetric method with the aim to contribute to a better understanding of its behavior in biological systems. The data obtained from measurements made on analytes prepared in the laboratory, as well as those made on real samples (some commercial orange drinks, flash of the fresh fruits) point to the redox reaction of L-ascorbic acid (L-AH2) being very sensitive to both the presence of dissolved gaseous species (O2, CO2) and the ionic strenght in the analyte. Either the dissolved gaseous species, or the higher ionic strength caused by both the presence of supporting electrolyte and increased total concentration of ascorbic acid, respectively, give birth to the degradation of L-AH2. Naturally, the highest percentage of L-AH2 was spotted in fresh fruit. 相似文献
The contribution presents a thermionic emission-tunnelling theory of the charge transport through a Schottky contact, valid
for low injection. The approach extends the classical thermionic emission theory by incorporating the mechanism of tunnelling
across the Schottky barrier. The novelty of this transport model is in considering the transfer of charge carriers in both
directions, which is accomplished by introducing the Richardson constant also for electrons in the metal, and in the use of
the Global Transfer Matrix technique to compute the relevant transmission coefficients. 相似文献
We consider the Dirichlet problem for linear nonautonomous second order parabolic equations with bounded measurable coefficients on bounded Lipschitz domains. Using a new Harnack-type inequality for quotients of positive solutions, we show that each positive solution exponentially dominates any solution which changes sign for all times. We then examine continuity and robustness properties of a principal Floquet bundle and the associated exponential separation under perturbations of the coefficients and the spatial domain. 相似文献
In Vlasov's approach to the problem of stability of thin-walled elastic beams of open cross section simultaneously subjected to transverse bending and to centric compression or tension, a certain inconsistency in derivation of differential equations of stability has been noticed. A consistently carried through derivation leads to equations that differ from Vlasov's ones. The comparison of Vlasov's equations with the results achieved by the classics in the field and by the more recent authors reveals good correspondence. The equations obtained by a consistent derivation, instead, turn out to be correspondent with the equations obtained by the classics Timoshenko and Bleich and with Ojalvo's equations of a second-order theory which determines the orientation of normal planes with the line of shear centers and assumes the validity of the Wagner hypothesis.
Sommario. Nellapproccio di Vlasov al problema di stabilita delle travi elastiche a parete sottile e sezione trasversale aperta, contemporaneamente soggete a flessione trasversale ed a pressione o trazione centrale, e stata notata una certa incoerenza nell derivazione delle equazioni differenziali di stabilita. Un procedimento coerente ci porta delle equazioni che si differenziano da quelle di Vlasov. It confronto tra le equazioni di Vlasovedi risultati ottenuti da autori classici e da quelli piu a recenti mostra che esiste un buon accordo, mentre e evidente che le equazioni, ottenute con il procediments coerente, collimano con le equazioni ottenute dai classici Timoshenko e Bleich e con le equazioni di Ojalvo della teoria del secondo ordine, che definisce lorientazione dei piani normali con la linea dei centri di taglio e che presuppone la validita della ipotesi di Wagner. 相似文献
Advanced models of penetrant transport and reaction in spatially 3D porous polyolefin particles reconstructed from X‐ray µCT images require proper determination of particle morphology. Moreover, polyolefins exhibit a relatively low absorptivity for X‐rays, therefore their investigation using µCT can be difficult. In this paper, a low‐resolution µCT built into an SEM is used to examine how the µCT resolution and several user‐selected parameters associated with the scanning/reconstruction affect the resulting particle morphology. Using samples with known morphology and independent imaging techniques, the performance of the µCT device is critically assessed. Finally, a method suitable for the reliable reconstruction of polyolefin particles using low‐resolution µCT is proposed.
The process of CFD model application for atmospheric dispersion modeling is presented. Increasing the CPU power opens new possibilities of the CFD approach application for consequence analysis in real complex urban environments. As successful CFD simulation is directly dependent on the quality and complexity of the computational mesh, a new methodology of transferring the Geographic Information System (GIS) data to the computational mesh can be utilized. A user software for importing and manipulation with the GIS data and their subsequent transfer to an instructional file for the generation of the computational mesh was prepared and tested. The introduced methodology is relatively simple and it requires only a small amount of input data. The process of creating a computational mesh is very straightforward and fast, which enables the application of CFD modeling in urban environments in all fields of engineering applications in safety analysis. Several recommendations concerning proper definition of boundary conditions for atmospheric dispersion modeling were summarized. The presented approach was tested on a realistic case study of liquefied chlorine release in a real town. Results obtained by the CFD approach were compared with those obtained by a simpler but standard integral model. 相似文献
The novel complex [Cu(men)2][Cu2Cd2Cl2(CN)6] (I) was isolated from the aqueous-ethanol system containing CuCl2, men (men = N-methylethane-1,2-diamine) and K2[Cd(CN)4] in the presence of dilute hydrochloric acid and chemically and spectroscopically characterised. The crystal structure of I consists of [Cu2I(CN)6] and [Cd2Cl2(CN)6] building units bridged by cyanide ligands and forms a three-dimensional skeleton with cavities. [Cu(men)2]2+ cations in which two men ligands are chelated (mean Cu-N is 2.033(6) Å) are located in the cavities. The coordination polyhedron around the Cu(II) atoms is formed as a tetragonal bipyramidal by two weaker axial Cu-Cl bonds (2.8642(12) Å) with chlorido ligands from the skeleton. The Cu(I) and Cd(II) atoms in the skeleton exhibit tetra-(CuC4 chromophore) and penta-coordination (CdN3Cl2), respectively. The temperature-dependent susceptibility measurements indicate a Curie-Weiss-like behaviour and the presence of weak anti-ferromagnetic interaction. 相似文献
In large volumes produced activated sludges from wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) with low concentrations of heavy metals can be utilized as agricultural fertilizers and soil conditioners. Increased contents of toxic xenobiotics are limiting factors that affect the utilization of these heterogeneous wastes. The main aim of our paper was to show the utilization of dried activated sludge (DAS) from municipal WWTP as potential Co2+ ions sorbent i.e. for non-agricultural purposes. The radio indicator method by radionuclide 60Co and γ-spectrometry for characterization DAS sorption properties was used. DAS soluble and solid fractions were characterized by biochemical, ETAAS and CEC analysis. The sorption of Co2+ ions by DAS was rapid process and equilibrium was reached within 2 h. Sorption capacity of DAS (Q) increased with the initial concentration of CoCl2 in the range from 100 to 4,000 μmol l?1, reaching 20 and 160 μmol g?1. Obtained Q values were depent on pH value from 2.0 to 8.0. The maximum sorption capacity (Qmax) of DAS at pH 6 calculated from mathematical model of Langmuir adsorption isotherm was 175 ± 9 μmol g?1. FT-IR analyses showed the crucial role of carboxyl functional groups of DAS surfaces on cobalt uptake. For confirmation ion-exchange mechanism in sorption process of Co2+ ions by DAS scanning electron microscopy and EDX analysis were used. 相似文献
