Thermodynamics of Solubilization of Pentanol in Sodium Dodecyl Sulfate-Dodecyldimethylamine Oxide Mixed Micelles
1994
Abstract Heat capacity and density measurements of pentanol (PeOH)-sodium dodecyl sulfate (NaDS)-dodecyldimethylamine oxide-water mixtures were carried out at 0.03 m PeOH as a function of the total surfactants concentration (mc) at different ratios (XNaDS). From experimental data, the apparent molar volumes (VΦ,R) and heat capacities (CΦ,R) of PeOH in the surfactants mixture solutions were calculated. As a general feature, at a given mixture composition, VΦ,R increases monotonically with mt as observed in pure surfactants. In the cases of XNaDS = 0.1 and 0.3, VΦ,R drops at about 0.1 and 0.15 mt respectively. The decreasing CΦ,R VS mt curve shows peculiarities which were ascribed to the pres…
Degradation of passive layers of iron studied by conversion electron Mössbauer spectroscopy
1995
Integral electron Mossbauer spectroscopy (ICEMS) and additionally some electrochemical methods were used to characterize the passivation process of iron (low carbon steel) in sulfate, sulfate+sulfite (a possible model solution of acid rain) solutions and in phosphate buffer. The phase compositions and thicknesses of the passive layers formed due to the electrochemical polarizations were analyzed in dependence on the duration of the anodic passivations and on the pH of the used electrolytes. The passive layer, as determined from the Mossbauer spectra, consists mainly of γ-FeOOH, however in sulfite confining sulfate aqueous solution at pH 3.5 Fe 3 C and despite ex-situ circumstances FeSO 4 .H…
Effect of Anions and Oxygen on the Kinetics of the Anodic Dissolution of Nickel
2006
An electrochemical impedance spectroscopy study on electrochemical dissolution and active/passive transition of polycrystalline nickel in acid media has been performed in sulfate and nitrate aqueous solutions. Oxygen favors the nickel electrodissolution in a nitrate aqueous acid medium, but the dissolution decreases in the sulfate medium due to nickel passivation. The anion and oxygen effect is analyzed from a model where Ni(I) species are stabilized on the Ni metal surface and all anions present in the solution compete in the neutralization of Ni(I) and Ni(II) and in the solubilization of Ni(II).
Novel water-swellable beads based on an acryloylated polyaspartamide
2001
Spherical polymeric microparticles have been prepared by a reverse-phase suspension polymerization technique. The starting polymer was α,β-poly (N-2-hydroxyethyl)-dl-aspartamide (PHEA) partially functionalised with glycidylmethacrylate (GMA) in order to introduce reactive vinyl groups in the side chain. The PHEA–GMA copolymer obtained (PHG) was cross-linked in a mixture of water/hexane–carbon tetrachloride in the presence of sorbitan trioleate (Span 85) as surfactant and ammonium persulfate/N,N,N′,N′-tetramethylethylenediamine as initiator system. The reaction was also carried out in the presence of N,N′-dimethylacrylamide as comonomer or N,N′-ethylenebisacrylamide as a cross-linking agent.…
Electrostatic contribution to the interaction of α, β poly (N-hydroxyethyl)-DL-aspartamide with sodium dodecylsulfate micelles
1994
The enthalpic effect due to the interaction between α, β poly(N-hydroxyethyl)-DL-aspartamide (PHEA) and sodium dodecylsulfate (SDS) in aqueous solutions as a function of the surfactant concentration was measured by the calorimetric technique at various NaCl concentrations. A marked influence of the added electrolyte on the PHEA-SDS interaction was observed. An analysis of the experimental enthalpies allows to estimate the electrostatic and the hydrophobic contributions to the enthalpy of interaction between PHEA and SDS micelles. The results were rationalized in terms of effects due to the screening of the charges residing on PHEA and SDS micelles.

Sulfur isotope's signal of nanopyrites enclosed in 2.7 Ga stromatolitic organic remains reveal microbial sulfate reduction.
2018
18 pages; International audience; Microbial sulfate reduction (MSR) is thought to have operated very early on Earth and is often invoked to explain the occurrence of sedimentary sulfides in the rock record. Sedimentary sulfides can also form from sulfides produced abiotically during late diagenesis or metamorphism. As both biotic and abiotic processes contribute to the bulk of sedimentary sulfides, tracing back the original microbial signature from the earliest Earth record is challenging. We present in situ sulfur isotope data from nanopyrites occurring in carbonaceous remains lining the domical shape of stromatolite knobs of the 2.7-Gyr-old Tumbiana Formation (Western Australia). The anal…
Urbanismo en la Marca Oriental de al-Andalus durante el Califato (940-974) : el ejemplo de madina Turtusa a través de las fuentes arqueológicas y esc…
2021
En este texto presentaremos las principales reformas que en la ciudad de ?ur??sa y su entorno mas inmediato se llevaron a cabo durante las decadas centrales del siglo X. Entendemos que el periodo comprendido entre los anos 940 y 974 supusieron un lapso de relativa estabilidad a ambos lados de la frontera entre al-Andalus y los condados catalanes. Es durante este momento cuando situamos una especialmente remarcable actividad por parte del Estado, a traves de los gobernadores de la ciudad, de refuerzo de las estructuras defensivas y arquitectonicas dentro del ambito urbano y periurbano. Analizaremos los casos de las murallas o el arsenal a nivel militar y la mezquita aljama o los banos en cua…
Artefatto_Paesaggio
2009
L'artefatto prevede un progetto, una finalità e conseguentemente un intelletto capace di attività creativa e immaginata. Il binomio artefatto/paesaggio, se facciamo riferimento alle nozioni di paesaggio date da Rosario Assurto e Lucio Gambi, abbraccia una molteplicità di aspetti che riguardano l'architettura ma anche la forma, l'arte, la mente e la rappresentazione.
Isolation and characterization of a complement-activating lipid extracted from human atherosclerotic lesions.
1990
The major characteristics of human atherosclerotic lesions are similar to those of a chronic inflammatory reaction, namely fibrosis, mesenchymal cell proliferation, the presence of resident macrophages, and cell necrosis. Atherosclerosis exhibits in addition the feature of lipid (mainly cholesterol) accumulation. The results of the present report demonstrate that a specific cholesterol-containing lipid particle present in human atherosclerotic lesions activates the complement system to completion. Thus, lipid could represent a stimulatory factor for the inflammatory reaction, whose underlying mechanistic basis may be, at least in part, complement activation. The complement-activating lipid …
