The shortcomings of the current formulation for calculating adhesion force drops and bubbles with noncircular contact lines are discussed. A general to evaluate due surface forces is presented. Also, a novel methodology, that is, IBAFA, image based analysis, was developed allow implementation formulation. IBAFA on use multiple profile images drop. analyzed (1) accurately reconstruct line shape, which analytically represented by Fourier cosine series, (2) measure angles at locations along...
Background Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) are the gold standard therapy in patients with deficient mismatch repair (dMMR)/microsatellite instability-high (MSI-H) metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC). A significant proportion of show resistance, making identification determinants response crucial. Growing evidence supports role sex determining susceptibility to anticancer therapies, but data is lacking for MSI-H CRC. Methods In this real-world cohort comprising 624 mCRC receiving ICIs, we...
Binary mixtures of alkoxyethanols, CH3–(CH2)n–O–(CH2CH2O)mOH, and n-alkanes or cyclohexane are characterized in terms DISQUAC. The corresponding dispersive (DIS) quasichemical (QUAC) interchange coefficients, Ceh,lDIS/QUAC, for the (e,h) contacts (type e, –O–; type h, –OH) given. In comparison with values 1-alkanol + monooxalkane systems, proximity effects CH3–(CH2)n–O–CH2–CH2–OH n-alkane lead to an increase Ceh,lDIS Ceh,lQUAC (l = 1,2) coefficients a decrease Ceh,2DIS. For other...
Abstract Previous studies concerning the categorisation method have been based on short daytime measure- ments. These demonstrated urban-noise stratification in daytime. Nevertheless, legislation and standards refer to noise estimation throughout day. This paper presents first attempt apply indicators obtained through long-term measurements. The study was conducted Plasencia, Extremadura (Spain) which has approximately 41,500 inhabitants. First, we a of roads using method. Second,...
In this work, CO2 adsorption at 273.15 K and N2 77 of mixed matrix membranes has been studied, as a method to directly determine their fractional free volume (FFV). These consist continuous phase copoly(o-hydroxyamide)s (HPA) or copoly(o-hydroxyamide-amide)s (PAA) relatively highly porous polymer network filler (PPN1). Both the pure copolymers (MMMs) have analyzed before after thermal rearrangement (TR) process. The results allowed characterizing pore size distribution studied in 3–15 Å...
Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) emitted into the atmosphere negatively affect environment and human health. Biotrickling filtration, an effective technology for treating VOC-laden waste gases, faces challenges in removing hydrophobic VOCs due to their low water solubility therefore limited bioavailability microorganisms. Consequently, addition of (bio)surfactants has proven be a promising strategy enhance removal biotrickling filters (BTFs). Yet, up now, no single study ever performed mass...
Liquid−liquid equilibria (LLE) data are reported for 2-methoxyethanol + heptane, methylcyclohexane, or 2,2,4-trimethylpentane and 2-(2-methoxyethoxy)ethanol 2-(2-ethoxyethoxy)ethanol methylcyclohexane mixtures between 281.8 K the upper critical solution temperatures (UCSTs). The coexistence curves were determined visually. They have a rather horizontal top skewed to region of higher mole fractions alkoxyethanol, x1, systems with 2-methoxyethanol, lower x1 values including other two...
Abstract The grid method is the most widely used technique for measurement-based noise assessment, and indeed part of ISO 1996-2 standard. Nevertheless it has certain disadvantages. present work an analysis evaluating noise, firstly in city Cáceres and, secondly two other smaller towns. Using as reference a 200 metre study, study was made effect varying size form on city’s overall value, percentage data found to lie above some thresholds, value assigned zone city. 1996 recommendations...
Silicon wafers have been silylated with VTMS (vinyltrimethoxysilane) and hydrolyzed. Subsequently, PVP (polyvinyl pyrrolidone) was grafted onto the surface by two different techniques: grafting-through (GT) grafting-onto techniques (GO). The measurement of contact angles along topography analysis atomic force microscopy (AFM) has allowed monitoring stages process temporal evolution polymer grafting. results demonstrated feasibility both methods grafting but shown that GT method gives a...
A set of thermally rearranged mixed matrix membranes (TR-MMMs) was manufactured and tested for gas separation. These were obtained through the thermal treatment a precursor MMM with microporous polymer network an o-hydroxypolyamide,(HPA) created reaction 2,2-bis(3-amino-4-hydroxyphenyl)-hexafluoropropane (APAF) 5'-terbutil-m-terfenilo-3,3″-dicarboxylic acid dichloride (tBTmCl). This HPA blended different percentages porous (PPN) filler, which produced separation MMMs enhanced permeability...
We describe the application of a categorization method for road traffic noise (TN) evaluation. The assumes that urban is stratified according to five-category classification streets based only on their use as communication routes. has previously been shown be valid towns under 220,000 inhabitants, and in present case applied study Valladolid (Spain), town with population nearly 320,000 inhabitants. Novel mathematical tools this field are used analyze method. demonstrate existence...
Excess molar volumes V m E at 298.15 K and atmospheric pressure for methanol ethanol + 2,5-dioxahexane, 3,6-dioxaoctane, 2,5,8-trioxanonane, 3,6,9-trioxaundecane, 5,8,11-trioxapentadecane, 2,5,8,11-tetraoxadodecane, 2,5,8,11,14-pentaoxapentadecane have been obtained from densities measured with an Anton-Paar DMA 602 vibrating-tube densimeter. All the excess are negative over whole mole fraction range.The curves shifted to region rich in alkanol, increasing their asymmetry number of oxygen...
Total vapor pressures at 303.15 and 323.15 K were measured for binary systems of n-hexane, cyclohexane, or n-heptane + 2-ethoxyethanol. Measurements made with a Van Ness type apparatus fitted to the modified Margules equation using Barker's method. The five-parameter represents measurements within an average absolute deviation approximately 0.01 kPa. reveal positive deviations from Raoult's law. Mixtures cyclohexane show azeotropic behavior both temperatures.
