Ab initio study on the formation of triiodide CT complex from the reaction of iodine with 2,3-diaminopyridine
( Elsevier , 2010 , Article)The charge transfer (CT) interaction between iodine and 2,3-diaminopyridine (DAPY) has been thoroughly investigated via theoretical calculations. A Hartree–Fock, 3-21G level of theory was used to optimize and calculate the ... -
Abiotic stress applied to Tetraselmis subcordiformis reveals enhanced metabolic responses and increased production of Omega-3 fatty acids: A Metabolomic approach
( Elsevier , 2023 , Article)The appeal of high value algal metabolites is certain due to their sustainability, low energy and space requirements. Yet, commercial-level production of such products is limited and has the potential to be enhanced. In ... -
Ac-conductivity analysis of the effects of partial dealumination and γ-irradiation on the electric features of HZSM-5
( Elsevier , 1996 , Article)For illustrating such titled effects, analysis of the electric impedance, capacitance, and dielectric loss dependences on the frequency W (0.1–100 kHz) and temperature T (373–673 K) is correlated at 0.8 V for γ-irradiated ... -
Activation and stabilization of gallium arsenide anode in an aqueous photoelectrochemical cell
( Elsevier , 2003 , Article)The formation of a porous layer on the surface of gallium arsenide anode, n-GaAs, increases photogenerated currents significantly. This layer was formed as a result of an anodic polarization of illuminated n-GaAs in acidified ... -
Adaptable scheduling of smart building communities with thermal mapping and demand flexibility
( Elsevier , 2022 , Article)This paper proposes a novel hierarchical optimization framework that couples the balancing problem of a community network with building energy management (BEM) to form an integrated model capable of capturing potential ... -
An adaptive Monte Carlo integration algorithm with general division approach
( Elsevier , 2007 , Article)We propose an adaptive Monte Carlo algorithm for estimating multidimensional integrals over a hyper-rectangular region. The algorithm uses iteratively the idea of separating the domain of integration into 2ssubregions. The ... -
