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 ...
Metallacarboranes and their interactions: theoretical insights and their applicability
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2012-02-14)
This tutorial review will deal with the study of metallacarboranes and their interactions with other molecules from a theoretical point of view. This contribution is devoted to guide experimental chemists through calculations ...
Controlling the pirouetting motion in rotaxanes by counterion exchange
(American Chemical Society, 2014-07-25)
A fine control of the pirouetting motion of rotaxanes was achieved by using a series of metallabisdicarbollides. The latter were used as anions in the protonated form of benzylic amide macrocycle-containing fumaramide ...
Light driven styrene epoxidation and hydrogen generation using H2O as an oxygen source in a photoelectrosynthesis cell
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2015-10-02)
A dye-sensitized photoelectrosynthesis cell (DSPEC) has been prepared for the oxidation of alkenes to
epoxides and evolution of hydrogen using water as an oxygen source and sunlight. A Ru oxidation catalyst,
2,2+
, is ...
Prediction of Cell Culture Media Performance Using Fluorescence Spectroscopy
(2010)
Cell culture media used in industrial mammalian cell culture are complex aqueous solutions that are inherently difficult to analyze comprehensively. The analysis of media quality and variance is of utmost importance in ...
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 ...
Adsorption of the natural protein surfactant Rsn-2 onto liquid interfaces
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2017-02-27)
To stabilize foams, droplets, and films at liquid interfaces nature has evolved a range of protein biosurfactants. Compared to synthetic surfactants, these combine surface activity with biocompatibility and low solution ...
An experimental and modeling study of shock tube and rapid compression machine ignition of n-butylbenzene/air mixtures
(Elsevier, 2013-08-28)
In our previous work (D. Darcy, C.J. Tobin, K. Yasunaga, J.M. Simmie, J. Wurmel, W.K. Metcalfe, T. Niass, S.S. Ahmed, C.K. Westbrook, H.J. Curran, Combust. Flame 159 (2012) 2219-2232), ignition delay times of n-butylbenzene ...
Towards a kinetic understanding of the NOx promoting-effect on ignition of coalbed methane: A case study of methane/nitrogen dioxide mixtures
(Elsevier, 2016-05-03)
Nitrogen dioxide (NO2) is an important impurity in coal-bed methane (CBM) and a dominant component of NOx pollution in practical engines. Its promoting effect on methane ignition has been studied in the current experimental ...
