By the method of electromotive forces measuring concentration chains: Pt│Li2O│ ZrO2+10 wt% Y2O3, lithium glass. (Li2O)x(TiO2)1-x│Pt in the temperature range T=1000–1200K and concentrations 0.35÷0.95 mol fraction TiO2, the thermodynamic functions of the formation of the compounds Li4TiO4, Li2TiO3, Li4Ti5O12 and phases based on Li2TiO3:Li1.92Ti1.04O3.04, Li2.12Ti0.94O2.92 were determined. With the exception of the compound Li2TiO3, the thermodynamic functions of the formation of lithium titanates are deter¬mined for the first time. The thermodynamic functions of formation are calculated for the 1200 K and for the standard state at 298 K. The thermodynamic functions of the formation of lithium titanates are determined from simple substances and from binary compounds Li2O and TiO2. In particular, for the free energy, enthalpy of formation and standard entropy we obtained: ∆G_298^0(Li4TiO4)=–2149 kJ∙mol-1; ∆G_298^0(Li2TiO3)=–1565; ∆G_298^0(Li4Ti5O12)=–5923; ∆H_298^0(Li4TiO4)=–2286 kJ∙mol-1; ∆H_298^0(Li2TiO3)=–1662; ∆H_298^0(Li4Ti5O12)=–6287; S_298^0(Li4TiO4)=119.1 J∙mol-1∙K-1; S_298^0(Li2TiO3)=84; S_298^0(Li4Ti5O12)=315.7

The molar heat capacity of the first-generation hybrid dendrimer with a “carbosilane core/phenylene shell” structure was measured for the first time in the temperature range T = 6–600 K using a precise adiabatic vacuum calorimeter and DSC. In the above temperature interval, the glass transition of the studied compound was observed, and its thermodynamic characteristics were determined. The standard thermodynamic functions (the enthalpy, the entropy, and the Gibbs energy) of the hybrid dendrimer were calculated over the range from T = 0 to 600 K using the experimentally determined heat capacity. The standard entropy of formation of the investigated dendrimer was evaluated at T = 298.15 K. The obtained thermodynamic properties of the studied hybrid dendrimer were compared and discussed with the literature data for some of the first-generation organosilicon and pyridylphenylene dendrimers.

High quantities of wastewater produced from producing natural gas and oil from the aquifer, which called produced water. The produced water was comprised of dissolved solids, suspended solids, emulsified oil, and organic and inorganic compounds. That should be treated it's before disposal because it causes harm to the environment. This study takes the produced water from the southern Iraqi oilfield drilling company to adsorption by the Cane papyrus as natural and low-cost adsorbent. The analysis completed by using Fourier transforms infrared spectroscopy, EDX spectra and Scanning Electron Microscopic (SEM) for Cane papyrus. Investigating the effect of many parameters such as adsorbent dosage, temperature, solution pH, mixer speed and contact time. The Langmuir, Freundlich, Temkin and Harkins-Henderson isotherm models were tested, the results were 0.998,0.966, 0.931 and 0.966 respectively. The Langmuir model was more suitable described the adsorption process than the other models. The kinetics results were, 0.984 for Pseudo-first-order, 0.938 for Pseudo-second order is, 0.979 for Intra particle diffusion study and 0.912 for the Elovich model, the Pseudo-first-order kinetic equation best described the kinetics of the reaction. The thermodynamics study effect temperature changes on the thermodynamic parameters such as standard free energy change (∆G°), standard enthalpy change (∆H°) and standard entropy change (∆S°). The experimental data obtained demonstrated that Cane papyrus is a suitable adsorbent for removing oil from produced water.

A novel series of proflavine ureas, derivatives 11a–11i, were synthesized on the basis of molecular modeling design studies. The structure of the novel ureas was obtained from the pharmacological model, the parameters of which were determined from studies of the structure-activity relationship of previously prepared proflavine ureas bearing n-alkyl chains. The lipophilicity (LogP) and the changes in the standard entropy (ΔS°) of the urea models, the input parameters of the pharmacological model, were determined using quantum mechanics and cheminformatics. The anticancer activity of the synthesized derivatives was evaluated against NCI-60 human cancer cell lines. The urea derivatives azepyl 11b, phenyl 11c and phenylethyl 11f displayed the highest levels of anticancer activity, although the results were only a slight improvement over the hexyl urea, derivative 11j, which was reported in a previous publication. Several of the novel urea derivatives displayed GI50 values against the HCT-116 cancer cell line, which suggest the cytostatic effect of the compounds azepyl 11b–0.44 μM, phenyl 11c–0.23 μM, phenylethyl 11f–0.35 μM and hexyl 11j–0.36 μM. In contrast, the novel urea derivatives 11b, 11c and 11f exhibited levels of cytotoxicity three orders of magnitude lower than that of hexyl urea 11j or amsacrine.

The alloys of the Gd-Te system in the range of compositions > 75 at% Te were studied by the methods of X-ray diffraction (XRD) and electromotive forces (EMF). From the EMF measurements of the concentration cells relative to the GdTe electrode in the 300-450 K temperature range, the partial thermodynamic functions of GdTe in alloys were determined. By combining these data with the corresponding functions of Gd in GdTe, the partial molar functions of gadolinium in GdTe3+Te alloys, and standard thermodynamic functions of formation and standard entropy of the GdTe3 compound were calculated. The obtained results were compared with the literature data.

Water is essential for every life processes. However, its quality is deteriorating every day due to the recent industrial advancements. Anthropogenic processes such as industrialization, mining and agricultural activities have led to alarming discharge of heavy metal ions to the aquatic bodies. This possess a greater threat to human, animal and the entire ecosystem wellbeing. Accumulation of heavy metal ions in drinking water beyond permissible limits is detrimental to human health. Therefore, their removal is paramount. Conventional remediation techniques have been employed but have remained expensive and not universally appropriate. This has therefore spurred research interests in the use of adsorption techniques from locally available materials as an environmentally sustainable alternative. Jackfruit seeds are discarded as wastes of a Jackfruit and can be utilized as an ion exchange resin in heavy metal ions removal from wastewater. The present study involved application of previously prepared raw and modified Jackfruit seed resins to study thermodynamics of copper (II), lead (II) and cadmium (II) ions adsorption from synthetic water. FTIR results showed presence of functional groups in raw and modified resins as important sites for studying thermodynamics of adsorption of copper (II), lead (II) and cadmium (II) ions. Thermodynamic data showed that standard Gibb’s free energy () values for all metals were negative indicating that adsorption process was feasible and favourable. Standard enthalpy change (), standard entropy () and activation energy () were positive (> 40 kJ mol-1) and in the order lead (II) > copper (II) > cadmium (II). This confirmed adsorption of copper (II), lead (II) and cadmium (II) ions onto both raw and modified resins was predominated by chemical interactions between the metal ions and the resin active sites. This was confirmed by very low values of sticking probability (S*). The findings indicated that ion exchange Jackfruit seeds resin is promising for heavy metal ions removal from wastewater in an optimized temperature controlled system.

Zeolite was synthesized via hydrothermal method from sodium metasilicate and sodium aluminate solutions. The prepared sample was characterized by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD).The adsorption of methylene blue dye onto zeolite was studied. The adsorption experiments were carried out in batches and the effect of parameters such as concentration, pH, adsorbent dosage, temperature and contact time were investigated. The experimental data were fitted into the Langmuir and Freundlich Adsorption Isotherm. The result was fitted into pseudo- first order and pseudo- second order kinetic models. The thermodynamic parameters were also evaluated. The results revealed that maximum adsorption of methylene blue dye was achieved at a concentration of 20 mg/L and pH of 8.9. The adsorption process followed a Langmuir adsorption isotherm model with a correlation coefficient value of 0.9911. The negative value of standard enthalpy of adsorption, ΔHo calculated as -9.4 kJmol-1 revealed the exothermic nature of the adsorption process, the negative value of standard entropy of adsorption, ΔSo evaluated as -20.6 Jmol-1K-1showed that no significant change occurs in the internal structures of zeolite during the adsorption process and the negative value of Gibbs free energy, ΔGo obtained as -3.28 kJmol-1indicated the spontaneity of the adsorption process

The aim of the current study was twofold: (i) to investigate the distribution of the strike positions of badminton players while quantifying the corresponding standard entropy and using an alternative metric (spatial entropy) related to winning and losing points and random positions; and (ii) to evaluate the standard entropy of the receiving positions. With the datasets of 259 badminton matches, we focused on the positions of players’ strokes and the outcome of each point. First, we identified those regions of the court from which hits were most likely to be struck. Second, we computed the standard entropy of stroke positions, and then the spatial entropy, which also considers the order and clustering of the hitting locations in a two-dimensional Euclidean space. Both entropy quantifiers revealed high uncertainty in the striking position; however, specific court locations (i.e., the four corners) are preferred over the rest. When the outcome of each point was taken into account, we observed that the hitting patterns with lower entropy were associated with higher probabilities of winning points. On the contrary, players striking from more random positions were more prone to losing the points.

Research on damage diagnosis or safety monitoring based on structural vibration response is one of the hot issues in the engineering field. The characteristic information of the structure is obtained by analyzing the structure response data. In the process of data analysis, the choice of data length is very important, which is related to the validity of the structure monitoring results. At present, the selection of data length is usually subjective, which reduces the rigor of the structure monitoring process. Therefore, a method based on improved multiscale permutation entropy (IMPE) is proposed to determine the optimal data analytical length (ODAL) of vibration data. This method creatively applies multiscale permutation entropy (MPE) to the field of data length analysis when processing nonlinear and nonstationary signals and optimizes MPE with the help of the improved coarse-grained method to obtain IMPE. IMPE is sensitive to different data lengths, and the entropy changes with the increase of the data length and tends to be stable. Here, the stable value is defined as a standard entropy. The entropy satisfying 97% of the standard entropy is used as the effective entropy, and the corresponding data length value of the effective entropy is selected as the ODAL of the vibration data. This method is suitable for many fields, provides a reliable data analytical length for data analysis, and has good engineering practicability.
