Winnie K. Wong-Ng, Andrew J. Allen, Laura Espinal, Kristi L. Kauffman, Jeffrey T. Culp, Angela Goodman, Thomas G. Brown, Mark P. Bernardo, Russel J. Pancoast, Danielle Chirdon, Christopher Matranga
The selective adsorption of CO2 from binary mixtures of N2 and CH4 was investigated using a structurally dynamic porous coordination polymer, catena-bis(dibenzoylmethanato)-(4,4’bipyridyl)nickel (II), ‘NiDBM-Bpy’, as the separation sorbent. A third gas

High Pressure Viscosity Measurements of 1,1,1,2-Tetrafluoroethane

April 27, 2011
Author(s)
Arno R. Laesecke, Scott Bair
Viscosity measurements have been carried out with a falling-cylinder instrument in the compressed liquid and supercritical region of the hydrofluorocarbon 1,1,1,2-tetrafluoroethane (R134a). A highly pure sample was used. The measurement region at

February 20, 2011
Author(s)
Vladimir L. Orkin, Gregory A. Poskrebyshev, Michael J. Kurylo III
The rate constants for the reactions of OH radicals with fully fluorinated alkenes containing different number of –CF3 groups next to olefinic carbon, CF2=CF2, CF2=CFCF3, CF3CF=CFCF3, (CF3)2C=CFC2F5 were measured using the flash photolysis resonance

Methylmercury photodegradation influenced by sea ice cover in Arctic marine ecosystems

Author(s)
David Point, J E. Sonke, Russell D. Day, David G. Roseneau, Keith A. Hobson, Stacy Schuur, Amanda Moors, Rebecca Pugh, Olivier F. Donard, Paul R. Becker
Despite two decades of research on mercury in northern environments, we do not fully understand the high levels of this pollutant in Arctic Biota. The presumption that global anthropogenic mercury emissions and Arctic atmospheric mercury depletion events

A Mathematical Model of Atmospheric Retention of Man-made CO_2 Emissions

December 21, 2010
Author(s)
Bert W. Rust
Rust and Thijsse [Proc. CSC'07 (2007) pp. 10-16], [CiSE, Vol. 10 (2008) pp. 49-59] have shown that global annual average temperature anomalies T(t) vary linearly with atmospheric CO_2 concentrations c(t). The c(t) can be related to man-made CO_2 emissions
