Fire behaviour of thermo-mechanically densified wood

Abstract This study investigates the effect of thermo-mechanical densification on the fire behaviour of wood using cone calorimetry. Scots pine wood was thermo-mechanically densified from an initial thickness of 20 mm to target thicknesses of 14 and 10 mm and compared with non-de...

Thermodynamicsof Acidity and Photoacidity in trans -ResveratrolAnalogues: The Role of Prototropic Tautomerism

Abstract The thermodynamics of protonation equilibria and equilibria between enol and keto tautomers occurring in naturally found hydroxy derivatives of trans-resveratrol analogues were investigated. Reaction Gibbs free energies at room temperature were obtained using the B3LYP f...

A Measure-Theoretic Formulation of Hybrid Systems Beyond Zeno Time

Hybrid dynamical systems may exhibit Zeno behavior, where infinitely many discrete transitions occur in finite time, leading to a loss of well-posedness of trajectories beyond the accumulation point. This paper develops a measure-theoretic formulation of hybrid dynamics by repres...

Donor-SetSwitching in Morpholine-Functionalized 8-Hydroxyquinolines:Consequences for Metal Binding and the Bioactivity of RhCp* Complexes

Abstract Morpholine-functionalized 8-hydroxyquinoline (HQ) derivatives with reduced Schiff base linkers, Morph-Et-HQ and Morph-Pr-HQ, were synthesized and comprehensively characterized to investigate the influence of linker length on donor-set preference, metal binding, and the b...

Determination of branched alkylphenols, including tert-alkyl derivatives, in sediments using an integrated ultrasound-assisted extraction and liquid chromatography with fluorescence detection method

Abstract This study developed, validated, and applied an integrated analytical method for the simultaneous determination of five high-production-volume branched alkylphenols (bAPs) in sediments. The target analytes—4-dodecylphenol (4-DDP), 4-tert-amylphenol (4-t-AP), 4-tert-butyl...
