The venerable process of cellular respiration is essential for cells to produce energy from glucose molecules, in order to carry out cellular work. The process is responsible for producing molecules of ATP, a molecule which is thermodynamically coupled with other biochemical and biophysical processes in order to provide energy for such processes to occur. While the process of cellular respiration is essential to biology, one cycle of the process occurs only in a matter of milliseconds, and so, it would be impractical to measure the time it takes for the process to occur through conventional means. Therefore, using concepts from reaction rate theory, particularly Marcus Theory of electron transfer, Michaelis-Menten kinetics for enzymatic catalysis, and the hard-sphere model of collision theory, I formulate and propose a mathematical approximation for the amount of time it takes forcellular respiration to occur. Through this heuristic approach, quantitatively knowing the amount of time it takes for one cycle of cellular respiration to occur could potentially have future applications in biological research.

Glyphosate (GP) is a widely used herbicide worldwide, yet accumulation of GP and its main byproduct, aminomethylphosphonic acid (AMPA), in soil and water has raised concerns about its potential effects to human health. Thermal treatment processes are one option for decontaminating material containing GP and AMPA, yet the thermal decomposition chemistry of these compounds remains poorly understood. Here, we have revealed the thermal decomposition mechanism of GP and AMPA by applying computational chemistry and reaction rate theory methods. <br>

ABSTRACTAb initio molecular orbital calculations coupled to RRKM reaction rate theory have been conducted on some important reactions involved in the oxidation of silane in a high-temperature/high H2O environment. The results indicate thatH2O acts as an oxygen donor to SiH2 to form H3SiOH or SiH2O. Subsequent reactions involve the formation of (HSiOOH, H2Si(OH)2,:Si(OH)2 or SiO). In turn SiO polymerizes into planar rings, without an activation energy barrier. A list of calculated thermochemical data are also presented for a number of equilibrium species.

In this work, the viscoplasticity and creep behavior for modified 9Cr-1Mo and 316 stainless steels were investigated. Based on the absolute reaction rate theory, a unified constitutive model incorporating internal state variables was proposed to characterize the evolution of the back stress. Also, the model was implemented by the ABAQUS system with the semi-implicit stress integration. Compared to the experimental data, the results demonstrated that the proposed approach could effectively simulate the cyclic softening and hardening behavior for such structural steels.

The Relationship

The applicability of two familiar analytic descriptions of micromechanical deformation as equations of state for polycrystalline iron is discussed. These equations are the power law and the relationship based on reaction rate theory. It is shown that the reaction rate description fails to describe adequately individual stress relaxation events without invoking undue complexity from use of adjustable parameters. Moreover, even in that case, this formulation lacks the predictive capability required in an equation of state. Conversely, the power law is found not only to describe stress relaxation data properly but also to provide the capability of predicting stress relaxation following initial deformation by different loading paths. It thus appears to represent an equation of state for the material.
