Molecular dynamics of CH4/CO2 on calcite for enhancing gas recovery by Carchini, Giuliano

“…In fact, from pure methane to 20/80 CO2/CH4, methane adsorption increases linearly with pressure. For gas mixtures with a CO2 concentration higher than 40%, higher pressure has less impact on methane adsorption. …”

Theoretical insight into effect of cation–anion pairs on CO2 reduction on bismuth electrocatalysts by Sun Hee, Yoon

“…The adsorption energy (Eads) and work function (Wf) of the anions increases with decreasing anion size (i.e., Cl− > Br− > I−). On the other hand, the larger the cation size is, the higher is the Eads (i.e., Li+ < K+ < Cs+) but the lower is the Wf (i.e., Cs+ < K+ < Li+). …”

Spectrofluorometric investigations on the solvent effects on the photocyclization reaction of diclofenac by Abdulilah Dawoud, Bani-Yaseen

“…The solvent effects were qualitatively and quantitatively assessed employing various solvatochromic models, including multi-parameter linear regression analysis (MLRA). Interestingly, the MLRA results (R = 0.99) revealed that the photoconversion rate increases with increasing solvent polarizability (π*) and H-bond donor capability (α), whereas the rate decreases with increasing hydrogen-bond acceptor capability (β). …”

Plasma volume variations in response to high intensity interval training in obese women: The influential role of menopausal status and age by Jabbour, Georges

“…For all women pre- and post-HIIT comparisons revealed significant differences in the extent of PV reduction at all two points (P < 0.01). Multiple linear regression analysis revealed that age was a significant contributor to the decreases in plasma volume (PV) observed both after warm-up and following the supramaximal cycling test - SCT (r = 0.44 and r = 0.57). …”
