An experimental and modeling study of nitromethane + O2 + N2 ignition in a shock tube
(Elsevier, 2016-09-09)
The ignition of nitromethane/O-2/N-2 mixtures was investigated via shock tube experiments in the temperature range 947-1333 K at reflected shock pressures near 8, 16 and 32 atm. The ignition was recorded as the intensity ...
Theoretical and kinetic study of the hydrogen atom abstraction reactions of esters with HO2 radicals
(American Chemical Society, 2013-10-31)
This work details an ab initio and chemical kinetic study of the hydrogen atom abstraction reactions by the hydroperoxyl radical (HO2) on the following esters: methyl ethanoate, methyl propanoate, methyl butanoate, methyl ...
Autoignition of ethanol in a rapid compression machine
(Elsevier, 2013-12-09)
Ethanol is a renewable source of energy and significant attention has been directed to the development of a validated chemical kinetic mechanism for this fuel. The experimental data for the autoignition of ethanol in the ...
A Novel Multiplex Real-Time PCR for the Identification of Mycobacteria Associated with Zoonotic Tuberculosis
(PLoS ONE, 2011-08-09)
Background:
Tuberculosis (TB) is the leading cause of death worldwide from a single infectious agent. An ability to detect the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTC) in clinical material while simultaneously differentiating ...
The pyrolysis of 2-methylfuran: a quantum chemical, statistical rate theory and kinetic modelling study
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2014-01-27)
Due to the rapidly growing interest in the use of biomass derived furanic compounds as potential platform chemicals and fossil fuel replacements, there is a simultaneous need to understand the pyrolysis and combustion ...
Rate constant calculations of H-Atom abstraction reactions from ethers by H(O) over dot(2) radicals
(American Chemical Society, 2014-01-31)
In this work, we detail hydrogen atom abstraction reactions from six ethers by the hydroperoxyl radical, including dimethyl ether, ethyl methyl ether, propyl methyl ether, isopropyl methyl ether, butyl methyl ether, and ...
Scaling behavior of polymers at liquid/liquid interfaces
(American Chemical Society, 2015-09-14)
The dynamics of a polymer chain confined in a soft 2D slit formed by two immiscible liquids is studied by means of molecular dynamics simulations. We show that the scaling behavior of a polymer confined between two liquids ...
Nerve growth factor (NGF)-mediated regulation of p75(NTR) expression contributes to chemotherapeutic resistance in triple negative breast cancer cells
(Elsevier, 2016)
Triple negative breast cancer [TNBC] cells are reported to secrete the neurotrophin nerve growth factor [NGF] and express its receptors, p75 neurotrophin receptor [p75(NTR)] and TrkA, leading to NGF-activated pro-survival ...
An experimental and modeling study of the shock tube ignition of a mixture of n-heptane and n-propylbenzene as a surrogate for a large alkyl benzene
(Elsevier ScienceDirect, 2012-07-11)
Alkyl aromatics are an important chemical class in gasoline, jet and diesel fuels. In the present work, an n-propylbenzene and n-heptane mixture is studied as a possible surrogate for large alkyl benzenes contained in ...
Oxidation of ethylene-air mixtures at elevated pressures, part 1: experimental results
(American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, 2014-03-26)
Shock-tube experiments have been performed to determine ignition delay times of undiluted ethylene air mixtures for temperatures from 1003 to 1401 K, at equivalence ratios from 0.3 to 2.0, and at pressures from 1.1 to 24.9 ...
