An ontology for capturing both data and the semantics of chemical kinetic reaction mechanisms has been developed. Such mechanisms can be applied to simulate and understand the behavior of chemical processes, for example, the...
The thermodynamics and kinetics of cross-linking reactions between PAHs of various reactive edge types that are observed in soot precursors are explored using density functional theory. The forward rate constants confirm that...
This paper describes the implementation and evaluation of a proof-of-concept Question Answering (QA) system for accessing chemical data from knowledge graphs (KGs) which offer data from chemical kinetics to the chemical and...
In this work, the optical band gaps of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) crosslinked via an aliphatic bond, curved via pentagon integration and with radical character were computed using density functional theory. A...
A metastable "high-pressure" phase known as α-PbO2-type TiO2 or TiO2-II is prepared via a single-step synthesis using a laminar premixed stagnation flame. Three other TiO2 polymorphs, namely anatase, rutile and TiO2-B phases...
A new method is presented for performing the Abel inversion by fitting the line-of-sight projection of a predefined intensity distribution (FLiPPID) to the recorded 2D projections. The aim is to develop a methodology that is...
In this paper, we develop a set of software agents which improve a knowledge-graph containing thermodynamic data of chemical species by means of quantum chemical calculations and error-canceling balanced reactions. The...
Exhaust After-Treatment (EAT) systems are necessary for automotive powertrains to meet stringent emission standards. Computational modelling has been applied to aid designing EAT systems. Models with global kinetic mechanisms...
Soot emitted from incomplete combustion of hydrocarbon fuels contributes to global warming and causes human disease. The mechanism by which soot nanoparticles form within hydrocarbon flames is still an unsolved problem in...
This article contains a descriptive survey on the acceptability of equivalence-based translation of the menu of TECNO Android phones into the Yorùbá language, one of the three major languages in Nigeria. Words translated into...
In this work the kinetics of the TiCl4 <=> TiCl3 + Cl reaction is studied theoretically. A variable-reaction coordinate transition-state theory (VRC-TST) is used to calculate the high-pressure limit rate coefficients. The...
