Control of the Speed of a Light-Induced Spin Transition through Mesoscale Core-Shell Architecture by Slimani, Ahmed

“…Isothermal relaxation from the optically induced high spin state of the core back to the low spin state and activation energies associated with the transition between these states were measured. The presence of a shell decreases the activation energy, which is associated with the elastic properties of the core. …”

Pilot-scale petroleum refinery wastewaters treatment systems: performance and microbial communities' analysis by Karray, Fatma

“…The reduction of the COD, BOD5, phenols, and the total petroleum hydrocarbon (TPH) reached 82.10%, 85.87%, 91.63%, and 81.11%, respectively at high hydraulic residence time (HRT = 10 days). Decreasing HRT to 5 and 2.5 days led to a decrease in the efficiency of the process and a decrease in biomass concentration was also observed (<1000 mg/l). …”
