Several models are available to determine the effect of temperature on the growth rate of microorganisms on substrates. An example is Arrhenius model, which is very popular because it has few parameters. For the first time, a discontinuous chevron-like graph of apparent activation energy based on the Arrhenius plot on the growth of 2-chloro-4-nitrophenol by Cupriavidus sp. is reported. The plot of ln mm against 1/T shows a discontinuous chevron-like graph for the entire investigated temperature range with an inflection at 27.75°C. This indicates that the existence of 2 activation energies for growth on 2-chloro-4-nitrophenol ranges from 20 to 40°C. Furthermore, a regression analysis from 20–25°C and 30–40°C results in activation energies of 88.71 kJmol-1 and 75.16kJ mol-1, respectively. This is probably the first time a Chevron-like graph was observed for the Arrhenius plot on the effect of temperature on the growth rate of 2-chloro-4-nitrophenol.

ABSTRACTIt has been observed that doping produces an enhancement in the recrystallization growth rate of silicon made amorphous by ionimplantation. This enhancement has been attributed to a shift of the Fermi level with doping. Evidence supporting this is based on the compensating effect of implantation of n- and p-type dopants together. We have previously proposed a model of the recrystallization growth process based on the diffusion of dangling bonds. We suggested that the rate enhancement is due to band bending at the amorphous-crystalline interface produced by doping. We have calculated the change in activation energy for the recrystallization growth velocity for a number of doping concentrations as a function of temperature. The major contribution to the apparent lowering of the activation energy with doping in an Arrhenius plot of the growth velocity versus I/kT is due to the temperature dependence of the Fermi level. Experimental data are compared with the calculated results. In addition differences in the measured growth rates in thermal and laser annealed samples are discussed, with primary emphasis on the lack of a change in the activation energy with doping in the laser annealed case.

A Bamberger rearrangement of N-phenylhydroxylamine, Ph–N(OH)H, to p-aminophenol was investigated by DFT calculations for the first time. The nitrenium ion, C6H5–NH+, suggested and seemingly established as an intermediate was calculated to be absent owing to the high nucleophilicity of the water cluster around it. First, a reaction of the monoprotonated system, Ph–N(OH)H + H3O+(H2O) n (n = 4 and 14) was examined. However, the rate-determining transition states involving proton transfers were calculated to have much larger activation energies than the experimental one. Second, a reaction of the diprotonated system, Ph–N(OH)H + (H3O+)2(H2O)13, was traced. An activation energy similar to the experimental one was obtained. A new mechanism of the rearrangement including the aniline dication-like transition state was proposed.

AbstractThe choice of filament material has an effect on the decomposition of silane during the hot wire chemical vapor deposition (HW-CVD) of amorphous and microcrystalline silicon films. The Si radicals produced from W, Re, Mo and Ta filament materials have been probed by laserbased single photon ionization (SPI) as a function of hot wire temperature. The Si radical profiles are shown to demonstrate two distinct regimes: a regime below 1600°C-1800°C (depending on filament material) limited by surface reaction at the filament in which Si concentration increases monotonically; and a mass transfer limited regime above 1600°C-1800°C where Si intensity saturates. The apparent activation energy of Si radical production in the surface reaction regime from Ta (140-170 kcal/mol) is found to be close to the corresponding Si thermal desorption energy from a Ta surface, suggesting that the Si production is controlled by the desorption process from the bare metal. On the other hand, the Si activation energies from W and Re (30-60 kcal/mol) are lower than the related desorption energies, suggesting that other rate limiting reactions play a role for these materials. The apparent activation energy for the Mo surface (60-90 kcal/mol) is intermediate between the other metal values. In addition to the Si radical study, corresponding film deposition is detected in situ by multiple internal reflection infrared (MIR-IR) spectroscopy. The IR measurements have been used to estimate the growth rate of a-Si:H deposited on a Ge substrate. The results show similar activation energies for both the growth rate and the Si formation from a W filament, implying that Si radical production and subsequent film growth may be dominated by the same elementary reactions within the decomposition and film growth processes at low pressure.

Abstract These results confirm the validity of our theory of thiuram-accelerated sulfur vulcanization supposing that ZnDMDC arising from TMTD and zinc oxide is the actual accelerator in this type of curing system. The formation of ZnDMDC from TMTD during the curing process affects particularly the slow crosslinking reaction. Therefore, the activation energy of slow crosslinking is in very good accordance with the activation energy of TMTD decrease, and its value differs significantly from the activation energies of fast crosslinking and degradation. Simultaneously, these facts answer the question why the shape of the cure curves depends strongly on the temperature of cure.

Honey brands commonly available in Indian market were characterized for their rheological and thermal properties. Viscosity of all the honey samples belonging to different commercial brands was found to decrease with increase in temperature (5–40°C) and their sensitivity towards temperature varied significantly as explained by calculating activation energy based on Arrhenius model and ranged from 54.0 to 89.0 kJ/mol. However, shear rate was not found to alter the viscosity of honey indicating their Newtonian character and the shear stress varied linearly with shear rate for all honey samples. Honey is known to contain pathogenic microbial spores and in our earlier study gamma radiation was found to be effective in achieving microbial decontamination of honey. The effect of gamma radiation (5–15 kGy) on rheological properties of honey was assessed, and it was found to remain unchanged upon radiation treatment. The glass transition temperatures (Tg) of these honey analyzed by differential scanning calorimetry varied from −44.1 to −54.1°C and remained unchanged upon gamma radiation treatment. The results provide information about some key physical properties of commercial Indian honey. Radiation treatment which is useful for ensuring microbial safety of honey does not alter these properties.

The article describes the process of tench growing (male and female species removed from set gear in the Volga river in the Astrakhan region) using experimental feedstuff "T", taking into account the fact that problems with artificial growing tench ( Тinca tinca ) appear first in the process of feeding when wild sires change to artificial food. The research took place on the base of the department of aquaculture and water bioresources of Astrakhan State Technical University in innovation centre "Bioaquapark - scientific and technical centre of aquaculture" in 2015. Special feed including components of animal origin - mosquito grab and sludge worm as an effective substitute to fish flour, as well as components of vegetable origin (carrot, parsley, pumpkin, wheatgrass) for domestication of tenches are offered for the first time. Food technology has been described. The exact composition of the formula, which is being licensed at the moment, is not disclosed. Feed "T", which has undergone biological analysis and is in accordance with organoleptic and physical standards was used for feeding tench female and male species during domestication period (60 days), along with food "Coppens" (Holland). Feed efficiency was determined according to survival and daily fish growth. Growth rate of females appeared more intensive than growth rate of males fed with experimental food "T". Daily growth changed depending on the types of food: from 0.3 ("Coppens") to 0.47 (experimental food) in females, from 0.25 ("Coppens") to 0.39 (experimental food) with males. Ability to survive among tench species fed with "Coppens" and experimental food made 60% and 100%, correspondingly. Nutricion of tench species with experimental food encouraged their domestication, which allowed using tench species in further fish breeding process in order to get offspring. The project was supported by the Innovation Promotion Fund in terms of the project "Development and implementation of the technique for the steady development of aquaculture: food "TechSA".

Crystal growth rates of copper sulphate pentahydrate (CuSO4.5 H2O) determined by different authors and methods are compared. The methods included in this comparison are: (i) Measurement on a fixed crystal suspended in a streaming solution, (ii) measurement on a rotating disc, (iii) measurement in a fluidized bed, (iv) measurement in an agitated suspension. The comparison involves critical estimation of the supersaturation used in measurements, of shape factors used for data treatment and a correction for the effect of temperature. Conclusions are drawn for the choice of values to be specified when data of crystal growth rate measurements are published.

This study is focused on the deformation mechanism and behavior of naturally aged 7010 aluminum alloy at elevated temperatures. The specimens were naturally aged for 60 days to reach a saturated hardness state. High-temperature tensile tests for the naturally aged sample were conducted at different temperatures of 573, 623, 673, and 723 K at various strain rates ranging from 5 × 10−5 to 10−2 s−1. The dependency of stress on the strain rate showed a stress exponent, n, of ~6.5 for the low two temperatures and ~4.5 for the high two temperatures. The apparent activation energies of 290 and 165 kJ/mol are observed at the low, and high-temperature range, respectively. These values of activation energies are greater than those of solute/solvent self-diffusion. The stress exponents, n, and activation energy observed are rather high and this indicates the presence of threshold stress. This behavior occurred as a result of the dislocation interaction with the second phase particles that are existed in the alloy at the testing temperatures. The threshold stress decreases in an exponential manner as temperature increases. The true activation energy was computed by incorporating the threshold stress in the power-law relation between the stress and the strain. The magnitude of the true activation energy, Qt dropped to 234 and 102 kJ/mol at the low and high-temperature range, respectively. These values are close to that of diffusion of Zinc in Aluminum and diffusion of Magnesium in Aluminum, respectively. The Zener–Hollomon parameter for the alloy was developed as a function of effective stress. The data in each region (low and high-temperature region) coalescence in a segment line in each region.
