Re-evaluation of rate constants for the reaction N2H4 (+ M) ⇄ NH2 + NH2 (+ M) (open access)

Re-evaluation of rate constants for the reaction N2H4 (+ M) ⇄ NH2 + NH2 (+ M)

Article describes how rate constants for the dissociation/recombination reaction N2H4 (+ M) ⇄ NH2 + NH2 (+ M) are determined by a combination of quantum-chemical calculations and statistical unimolecular rate theory. Implications of the present re-evaluated rate constants for the modeling of high temperature ammonia oxidation kinetics are discussed, showing an only small influence of their precise values on the overall properties of the process.

Molten Salt Corrosion Behavior of Dual-Phase High Entropy Alloy for Concentrating Solar Power Systems (open access)

Molten Salt Corrosion Behavior of Dual-Phase High Entropy Alloy for Concentrating Solar Power Systems

Article describes how dual-phase high entropy alloys have recently attracted widespread attention as advanced structural materials due to their unique microstructure, excellent mechanical properties, and corrosion resistance. The molten salt corrosion behavior of AlCoCrFeNi2.1 eutectic high-entropy alloy was evaluated in molten NaCl-KCl-MgCl2 salt at 450° C and 650° C in comparison to conventional duplex stainless steel 2205.

Homologues and homology and their related terms in phylogenetic systematics (open access)

Homologues and homology and their related terms in phylogenetic systematics

Article describes how, in the field of phylogenetic systematics, the terms homology and homologue and their relationship to cladistic terms such as character, character state, synapomorphy and symplesiomorphy, as well as their relationships to each other, have been and are still discussed frequently. A recent re-emergence of concepts of homology/homologue free of any reference to explanatory hypotheses prompted the authors to explore these concepts and their relationships to each other as well as to the concept of morpheme, as introduced recently.

Quantitative estimation of closed cell porosity in low density ceramic composites using X-ray microtomography (open access)

Quantitative estimation of closed cell porosity in low density ceramic composites using X-ray microtomography

Article asserts that x-ray Microtomography is a proven tool for phase fraction analysis of multi-phase systems, provided that each phase is adequately partitioned by some means of data processing. The authors present a novel, combined methodology for accurate porosity analysis—despite these shortcomings.

Modulating Uranium Extraction Performance of Multivariate Covalent Organic Frameworks through Donor–Acceptor Linkers and Amidoxime Nanotraps (open access)

Modulating Uranium Extraction Performance of Multivariate Covalent Organic Frameworks through Donor–Acceptor Linkers and Amidoxime Nanotraps

Article presents a COF (covalent organic framework)-based adsorption-photocatalysis strategy for selective removal of uranyl from seawater in the absence of sacrificial reagents. This work shows that multivariate COF adsorption-photocatalysts can be rationally engineered to work efficiently and stably without sacrificial electron donors, thus opening the pathway for the economic and efficient extraction of uranium from the earth’s oceans.

Effectiveness of a Single Prolonged Aerobic Exercise Session on Executive Function Task Performance in Physically Active Adults (21–70 Years of Age) (open access)

Effectiveness of a Single Prolonged Aerobic Exercise Session on Executive Function Task Performance in Physically Active Adults (21–70 Years of Age)

Authors of the article sought to examine the effectiveness of an acute prolonged exercise session on post-exercise executive function in physically active adults and to assess if age or pre-exercise cognitive performance was predictive of the magnitude of change in executive task performance. Their results support the effectiveness of a single prolonged exercise bout to augment executive function in physically active adults, irrespective of age.
