Water Adsorption Dynamics on Metal-Organic Framework MOF-801: Comparative Study of Loose and Glued Grains, and Coatings.

Adsorption heat transformation and storage (AHTS) is an environmentally benign and energy-saving alternative to common compression chillers and heat pumps. The low specific power (SP) of adsorption systems is a key drawback that hinders their broader dissemination. The optimization of adsorption dynamics is a prerequisite for SP enhancement.

The impact of framework flexibility and defects on the water adsorption in CAU-10-H.

Aluminum-based metal-organic framework (MOF) CAU-10-H is a promising candidate for heat transformation and water harvesting applications due to its hydrothermal stability, beneficial step-wise water adsorption isotherm and low toxicity. In this study, the effects of the framework flexibility and structural defects on the mechanism of water sorption in CAU-10-H were studied by grand canonical Monte Carlo (GCMC) methods. It was shown by the simulations that the rigid ideal MOF framework is hydrophobic.

Immuno-hormonal network in postmenopausal women: disturbance in breast cancer patients.

Introduction: Antibodies to estradiol and progesterone (Es and Pg) modulated their blood serum concentration and biological effects in immunized animals. Antibodies to membrane steroid receptors acted as hormone agonists or antagonists in cell cultures.

Material And Methods: Here we studied the levels of Es and Pg, idiotypic immunoglobulin (Ig) A1 and anti-idiotypic IgG2 specific to Es and Pg in the serum of postmenopausal women (82 healthy donors and 443 breast cancer patients).

Water Vapor Adsorption on CAU-10-: Effect of Functional Groups on Adsorption Equilibrium and Mechanisms.

Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) possess unique flexibility of structure and properties, which drives them toward applications as water adsorbents in many emerging technologies, such as adsorptive heat transformation, water harvesting from the air, dehumidification, and desalination. A deep understanding of the surface phenomena is a prerequisite for the target-oriented design of MOFs with the required adsorption properties. In this work, we comprehensively study the effect of functional groups on water adsorption on a series CAU-10- substituted with both hydrophilic ( = NH) and hydrophobic ( = NO) groups in the linker.
