Allelopathic interactions between the brown algal genus lobophora (dictyotales, phaeophyceae) and scleractinian corals
(Nature Publishing Group, 2016-01-05)
Allelopathy has been recently suggested as a mechanism by which macroalgae may outcompete corals in damaged reefs. Members of the brown algal genus Lobophora are commonly observed in close contact with scleractinian corals ...
Modeling ignition of a heptane isomer: improved thermodynamics, reaction pathways, kinetics, and rate rule optimizations for 2-methylhexane
(American Chemical Society, 2016-03-21)
Accurate chemical kinetic combustion models of lightly branched alkanes (e.g., 2-methylalkanes) are important to investigate the combustion behavior of real fuels. Improving the fidelity of existing kinetic models is a ...
Elastic Cherenkov effects in transversely isotropic soft materials-I: Theoretical analysis, simulations and inverse method
(Elsevier, 2016-06-25)
A body force concentrated at a point and moving at a high speed can induce shear-wave Mach cones in dusty-plasma crystals or soft materials, as observed experimentally and named the elastic Cherenkov effect (ECE). The ECE ...
Tailoring cocrystal and salt formation and controlling the crystal habit of diflunisal
(American Chemical Society, 2016-09-26)
Crystal habit modification of the drug diflunisal that normally grows into extremely thin, long needles has been achieved by breaking the stacking effect with the help of coformers. Eight new cocrystals are reported, along ...
Edge wrinkling in elastically supported pre-stressed incompressible isotropic plates
(The Royal Society Publishing, 2016-09-07)
The equations governing the appearance of flexural static perturbations at the edge of a semi-infinite thin elastic isotropic plate, subjected to a state of homogeneous bi-axial pre-stress, are derived and solved. The plate ...
On the equivariant K-homology of PSL_2 of the imaginary quadratic integers
(Association des Annales de l'Institut Fourier, 2016-09)
We establish formulae for the part due to torsion of the equivariant $K$-homology of all the Bianchi groups (PSL$_2$ of the imaginary quadratic integers), in terms of elementary number-theoretic quantities. To achieve this, ...
The influence of co-formers on the dissolution rates of co-amorphous sulfamerazine/excipient systems
(Elsevier, 2016-03-16)
A comprehensive study on the dissolution properties of three co-amorphous sulfamerazine/excipient systems, namely sulfamerazine/deoxycholic acid, sulfamerazine/citric acid and sulfamerazine/sodium taurocholate (SMZ/DA, ...
Unexpected effects of catalytic amounts of additives on crystallization from the gas phase: Depression of the sublimation temperature and polymorph control
(American Chemical Society, 2016-04-11)
Sublimation of carbamazepine, piracetam, diflunisal, and p-minobenzoic acid is enhanced by the presence of additives. Temperature reductions and polymorph control have been observed. Sublimation of carbamazepine containing ...
Optimized reaction mechanism rate rules for ignition of normal alkanes
(Elsevier, 2016-08-10)
The increasing demand for cleaner combustion and reduced greenhouse gas emissions motivates research on the combustion of hydrocarbon fuels and their surrogates. Accurate detailed chemical kinetic models are an important ...
Oxidative stress induced by Pt(IV) pro-drugs based on the cisplatin scaffold and indole carboxylic acids in axial position
(Nature Publishing Group, 2016-06-11)
The use of Pt(IV) complexes as pro-drugs that are activated by intracellular reduction is a widely investigated approach to overcome the limitations of Pt(II) anticancer agents. A series of ten mono- and bis-carboxylated ...
