Construction and Characterisation of Double Layer Capacitors
(Polish Academy of Sciences, 2010)
Electrochemical double-layer capacitor (also called supercapacitor) is an electrochemical energy storage device with a high power density, which could be used in application such as pulse power devices or electric vehicles. ...
Assessment of TD-DFT and LF-DFT for study of d - d transitions in first row transition metal hexaaqua complexes
(Amer Inst Physics, Melville, 2015)
Herein, we present the systematic, comparative computational study of the d - d transitions in a series of first row transition metal hexaaqua complexes, [M(H2O)(6)](n+) (M2+/3+ = V2+/3+, Cr2+/3+, Mn2+/3+, Fe2+/3+, Co2+/3+, ...
X-rаy diffraction and SEM analysis of waste sulfur modification for use in concretes
(University of Belgrade - Faculty of Mining and Geology, 2021)
Secondary sulfur obtained as a by-product in the oil refining process is a major problem as an environmental pollutant. One of the possibilities for environmental protection is the use of sulfur obtained in this way as a ...
Omicron BA.2.75 subvariant of SARS-CoV-2 is expected to have the greatest infectivity compared with the competing BA.2 and BA.5, due to most negative Gibbs energy of binding.
(MDPI, 2022)
Omicron BA.2.75 may become the next globally dominant strain of COVID-19 in 2022. The BA.2.75 sub-variant has acquired more mutations (9) in spike protein and other genes of SARS-CoV-2 than any other variant. Thus, its ...
The Effect of Glycol Derivatives on the Properties of Bio-Based Unsaturated Polyesters
(MDPI, 2022)
The scope of the present study was to prepare fully bio-based unsaturated polyester resins (UPRs) with comparable properties to the commercial formulations. The focus was set on the determination of the optimal prepolymer ...
The SARS-CoV-2 Hydra, a tiny monster from the 21st century: Thermodynamics of the BA.5.2 and BF.7 variants
(Elsevier, 2023)
SARS-CoV-2 resembles the ancient mythical creature Hydra. Just like with the Hydra, when one head is cut, it is followed by appearance of two more heads, suppression of one SARS-CoV-2 variant causes appearance of newer ...
Omicron BA.2.75 Sublineage (Centaurus) Follows the Expectations of the Evolution Theory: Less Negative Gibbs Energy of Biosynthesis Indicates Decreased Pathogenicity
(MDPI, 2022)
SARS-CoV-2 belongs to the group of RNA viruses with a pronounced tendency to mutate. Omicron BA.2.75 is a subvariant believed to be able to suppress the currently dominant BA.5 and cause a new winter wave of the COVID-19 ...
Formulas for death and life: Chemical composition and biothermodynamic properties of Monkeypox (MPV, MPXV, HMPXV) and Vaccinia (VACV) viruses
(Society of Thermal Engineers of Serbia, 2022)
Today, the World Health Organization has declared a global health emergency, caused by the Monkeypox outbreak. In the monthly analysis for June, 3500 cases have been reported in 50 countries around the world. In the analysis ...
Thermodynamics of bacteria-phage interactions T4 and Lambda bacteriophages, and E. coli can coexist in natural ecosystems due to the ratio of their Gibbs energies of biosynthesis
(Society of Thermal Engineers of Serbia, 2022)
The model of T4 phage, Lambda phage, and E. coli is often used in research on virus-host interactions. This paper reports for the first time the thermodynamic driving force of biosynthesis, catabolism and metabolism for ...
Optimization of reactive diluent for bio-based unsaturated polyester resin: A rheological and thermomechanical study
(MDPI, 2021)
Nowadays, unsaturated polyester resins (UPR) are mainly obtained from non-renewable resources. The ever-increasing regulations and the continuous demand for more sustainability have led to extensive research towards more ...
