Thermodynamic properties of intermetallics
… predictions without any experimental input of thermodynamical data like specific heat or phase stabilities. Such information is of great interest to thermodynamical modelling. Another strength of DFT is the possibility to investigate chemical reactions as demonstrated in case of the formation …

Thermodynamic analysis of electrodialysis
… with the help of a better understanding of the thermodynamics of desalination technologies. In this thesis, we present a thermodynamic analysis of electrodialysis (ED). ED is a desalination technology with many applications, and has shown promise in desalinating brackish water and in …

Thermodynamic properties of polyolefins
… purpose of this investigation was to determine thermodynamic properties for linear polyethylene, polypropylene and an ethylenepropylene copolymer, from previously determined p-v-t and calorimetric data. The entropy and enthalpy were calculated from calorimetric and p-v-t data using a datum of …

Thermodynamic Studies of Metal Carboxylates
… structural information available on them. The thermodynamics of adduct formation for 1:1 and 2:1 adducts formed by Lewis bases with rhodium(II) butyrate were studied in benzene and methylene chloride solutions. Electrochemical studies of these adducts were carried out in methylene chloride …

Thermodynamic Characterisation of Amyloid Fibrils
… in current approaches. One such gap is the thermodynamics of amyloid fibrils and how clinical agents modify the stability of fibrils, either positively or negatively. Thus far there has been a focus on the kinetic stability of amyloid fibrils due to the development and availability of …

Thermodynamic calculations with TK!Solver
… research was to apply the TK!Solver program for thermodynamic calculations. The TK!Solver program is equation-solving software that can solve both linear and non-linear sets of equations. To achieve the above objective, six programs have been developed. Program ESTATE.TK calculates volumetric …

A thermodynamic definition of protein folds
… propose to model the proteins from a statistical thermodynamic viewpoint based upon their average energetic properties. We show that this model can be used to (1) better characterize the partial unfolding process of proteins, and (2) reclassify the protein fold space from a new perspective.

Thermodynamic Interactions in Polydiene/Polyolefin Blends
Thermodynamic interactions in blends of polydienes and polyolefins were investigated using small angle neutron scattering (SANS). Model polydienes with controlled molecular weight, dispersity, and precise chemical structure were synthesized using anionic polymerization, and subsequently saturated …

Thermodynamic Measurements by Gas-Liquid Chromatography
The aim of the first part of this work was to provide solubility data for the large scale continuous and semi-continuous gas liquid chromatographs (G.L.C.) in operation in this department by using analytical G.L.C. equipment. A commercial dual-channel chromatograph was modified to enable the …

Vibrational and thermodynamic properties of ferrocene
The vibrational and thermodynamic properties of crystalline ferrocene (dicyclopentadienyl iron, Fe(CH)2' Fc), and dilute soluSStions of Fc in the liq-uid crystals 4-n-hexyloxybenzylidene 4'-npropylaniline (HBPA) and terephthal-bis-butylaniline (TBBA) have been studied using Mossbauer spectroscopy. …

Volumetric considerations in thermodynamic solution modeling
Current thermodynamic solution models are generally incapable of cross predicting excess properties and usually have limited applicability. One reason for this may be due to the volumetric considerations which are ignored or improperly represented in the models. In this work, the thermodynamic …

Thermodynamic properties of metal hydride nanostructures
… properties can be resolved. In this thesis, the thermodynamic and kinetic improvements on the hydrogen release properties of nanostructured metal hydrides are investigated both theoretically and experimentally. Four main results are presented in this work. The excess volume present in deformed …

Thermodynamic stability of Vo2-Metal thin films
Thermodynamic stability of VO2 in contact with metals was conducted on solid thin metal films. The VO2 film was synthesized on a corning glass under optimized condition parameters using rf magnetron reaction sputtering. The samples with structure glass/VO2 were then taken for optical …

A Dynamic and Thermodynamic Approach to Complexity.
… on a generalized, non-extensive , form of thermodynamics, and another, proposed by the UNT Center for Nonlinear Science, on complexity as a new condition that, for physical systems, would be equivalent to a state of matter intermediate between dynamics and thermodynamics. In the first part …

Thermodynamic and kinetic regulation of coupling factor
The first part of this thesis focuses on measuring the energetic requirement for activating CF$\sb1$ in DTT-reduced and oxidized thylakoid membranes isolated from spinach, Spinacia oleracea L. The coupling factor complex H$\sp+$-ATPase has latent activity, i.e. it needs to be activated prior to …
