Combined Nuclear Magnetic Resonance and Molecular Dynamics Study of Methane Adsorption in M-2(dobdc) Metal-Organic Frameworks

Berend Smit

We examine the diffusion of methane in the metal organic frameworks M-2(dobdc) (M = Mg, Ni, Zn; dobdc(4-) = 2,5-diwddo-1,4-benzenedicarboxylate) as a function of methane loading through a combination of nuclear magnetic resonance and molecular dynamics sim ...

Homogeneous Catalytic Formic Acid Dehydrogenation in Aqueous Solution using Ruthenium Arene Phosphine Catalysts

Gabor Laurenczy, Cornel Fink, Lu Chen

In this work, we studied catalytic formic acid dehydrogenation with a homogeneous RAPTA type precatalyst in aqueous solution. The effects of an amino group, attached to the arene, and the impact of a second equivalent of 1,3,5‐triaza‐7‐phosphaadamantane (P ...

Computational support for a scaffolding mechanism of centriole assembly

Pierre Gönczy, Paul Guichard, Virginie Hamel

Centrioles are essential for forming cilia, flagella and centrosomes. Successful centriole assembly requires proteins of the SAS-6 family, which can form oligomeric ring structures with ninefold symmetry in vitro. While important progress has been made in ...

Effect of service temperature on the flexural creep of vacuum infused GFRP laminates used in sandwich floor panels

Thomas Keller

This paper presents an experimental and analytical study about the effect of temperature on the flexural creep of GFRP laminates produced by vacuum infusion. Such laminates are considered for use in the faces of sandwich panels for building floor applicati ...

Toward the correspondence between Q-clouds and sphalerons

Andrey Shkerin

Non-linear classical equations of motion may admit degenerate solutions at fixed charges. Whereas the solutions with lower energies are classically stable, those with larger energies are unstable and are referred to as Q-clouds. We consider a theory in whi ...

Investigation of 3D moisture diffusion coefficients and damage in a pultruded E-glass/polyester structural composite

Thomas Keller, Florian Riebel

As civil engineers seek to improve buildings and bridges, they are turning to composite materials for some structural components. Thus the long-term life of these materials in damp highly acidic conditions (from concrete pore solutions) is critical. This a ...

Formulation reproducing the ignition delays simulated by a detailed mechanism: Application to n-heptane combustion

This article is part of the project to model the kinetics of high-temperature combustions, occurring behind shock waves and in detonation waves. The "conventional" semi-empirical correlations of ignition delays have been reformulated, by keeping the Arrhen ...
