In this work, we address the process of pair creation of scalar particles in [Formula: see text] de Sitter space–time in presence of a constant electromagnetic field by applying the noncommutativity on the scalar field up to first-order in [Formula: see text]. We calculate the density of particles created in the vacuum by the mean of the Bogoliubov transformations. In contrast to a previous result, we show that noncommutativity contributes to the pair creation process. We find that the noncommutativity plays the same role of chemical potential and gives an important interest for studies at high energies.

Linear and reciprocial Kovats retention index-boiling point relationships known from the literature were used to study the Kovats retention index-boiling point dependence of 2-phenyl-2-alkylacetonitriles on stationary phases of different polarity (OV-17, OV-210 and OV-225). The standard chemical potential of the partitioning of one methylene group of an n-alkane for the stationary phase was calculated and compared with available literature data.

Heme catabolism is an important physiological process that converts heme to biliverdin in the presence of heme oxygenase which has an essential role in destroying unwanted heme. Verdohemes, the green iron (II) complexes of the 5-oxaporphyrin macrocycle are produced by oxidative destruction of heme. The main goal of this study is clarification of the central metal effect on stabilization of metal 5-oxaporphyrin molecules. To investigate the role of central metal on geometric and electronic properties of five coordinated verdoheme analogues, the first row transitional metals, including Sc, Ti, V, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu and Zn, as the central metal of five-coordinated metal 5-oxaporphyrins were systematically calculated without any symmetry constraint by using the B3LYP as DFT method and the 6-31G basis set in gas and solvent phases. According to the results, the stabilization energy of metal 5-oxaporphyrins increases with atomic mass in the solvent phase more than in the gas phase. By reviewing the properties such as the computed frontier orbital energy, HOMO and LUMO gap energy [Formula: see text], hardness [Formula: see text], chemical potential [Formula: see text], softness (s) and electrophilicity [Formula: see text], the pharmaceutical use of this compound can be discussed.

In the previous overview papers [1, 2], the author has identified that ‘long cell action’ corrosion plays a pivotal role in practically all unresolved corrosion issues, irrespective of reactor types and operation. In trying to confirm the existence of radiation-induced ‘long-cell’ action (macro) corrosion cell in the primary cooling system of LWRs, the author attempted to theoretically reproduce the electrochemical potential difference demonstrated during experiments at the INCA Loop in Sweden and the NRI-Rez Loop in the Czech Republic [3, 4]. By performing a radiation chemistry kinetics study combined with electrochemistry calculations, the hydrated electrons, e−aq, reacting mainly with stable molecules, are found to be responsible for inducing a large portion of the potential difference both in the PWR and BWR water chemistry environment. Considering large uncertainties, the author used the standard equilibrium potential as a fitting parameter in the previous studies [3, 4]. The standard chemical potential of the hydrated electron estimated from the fitting parameter is far less than the generally accepted value of 2.86 V. In order to resolve the large discrepancy between the generally accepted values and the estimation from the fitting parameter, the author has developed a ‘mixed’ radiation-electrochemistry formalism, which enables theoretical reconstruction of the observed potential differences more clearly. The previous verifications are updated by using this approach. Through these studies, the author has confirmed the existence of the ‘long cell’ action corrosion mechanism existing in the water-cooled reactors.

We study the consequences of the presence of a negative electric charge condensate of antikaons in neutron stars using an effective model with derivative couplings. In our formalism, nucleons interact through the exchange of σ, ω and ϱ mesons, in the presence of electrons and muons, to accomplish electric charge neutrality and beta equilibrium. The phase transition to the antikaon condensate was implemented through the Gibbs conditions combined with the mean-field approximation, giving rise to a mixed phase of coexistence between nucleon matter and the antikaon condensate. Assuming neutrino-free matter, we observe a rapid decrease of the electron chemical potential produced by the gradual substitution of electrons by kaons to accomplish electric charge neutrality. The exotic composition of matter in neutron star including antikaon condensation and nucleons can yield a maximum mass of about M ns ~ 1.76 M ⊙.
