Quantitative analysis of cocaine in solid mixtures using Raman spectroscopy and chemometric methods
(Wiley, 2000-04-27)Near-infrared (785 mn) excitation was used to obtain Raman spectra from a series of 33 solid mixtures containing cocaine, caffeine and glucose (9.8-80.6% by weight cocaine), which were then analysed using chemometric ... -
Hydrocarbon fluid inclusion fluorescence: A review
(Springer, 2007)Geological fluid inclusions are small voids that can contain a variety of liquids which are often found in natural minerals and rocks. Typically they are less than 10 micrometres in size that host fossil fluids which existed ... -
Effect of the air–water interface on the conformation of amyloid beta
(American Institute of Physics, 2020-12-17)ABSTRACT It has long been recognized that liquid interfaces, such as the air water interface (AWI), can enhance the formation of protein fibrils. This makes liquid interfaces attractive templates for fibril formation but ... -

Comparative chemical kinetic analysis and skeletal mechanism generation for syngas combustion with NOx chemistry
(American Chemical Society, 2019-12-09)Emission of nitrogen oxides (NOx) are one of the major environmental concerns arising from the combustion of syngas. Strategies to reduce emission and improve the efficiency of syngas combustion can be developed using ... -
Numerical study on the minimum ignition energy of a methane-air mixture
(Elsevier, 2020-09-28)In this paper, a semi-detailed mechanism is used to calculate the minimum ignition energy (MIE) of methane-air mixtures, with all calculations conducted using ANSYS Fluent software. Ignition behaviors between success and ... -
An experimental and kinetic modeling study of cyclopentane and dimethyl ether blends
(Elsevier, 2020-11-13)Cyclopentane is a suitable naphthene, or cycloalkane, in a palette for multi-component gasoline surro- gate fuels due to its presence in market fuels and its relevance to alkyl substituted cyclopentanes also present. ... -
Comprehensive experimental and simulation study of the ignition delay time characteristics of binary blended methane, ethane, and ethylene over a wide range of temperature, pressure, equivalence ratio, and dilution

Evaluation of non-ideal piston stopping effects on the “adiabatic core” and ignition delay time simulation in rapid compression machines
(Elsevier, 2020-05-30)Piston creep and rebound are two non-ideal piston stopping behaviors in the rapid compression machine. Compared to nominal piston stopping, piston rebound/creep will result in a smaller/bigger 'adiabatic' core zone volume ... -
A comprehensive experimental and kinetic modeling study of 1-and 2-pentene
