Published: October 2012

The kinetics of the gas phase reaction of the ketenyl radical with SO(2) was investigated over the temperature range 296-568 K using a laser-photofragment/laser-induced fluorescence technique (LP/LIF). The reactor pressure was 10 Torr N(2) or He. Pulsed photolysis of ketene (CH(2)CO) at 193 nm was used as the source of HCCO radicals. The rate coefficient for the title reaction was determined to be described by k(T) = (1.05 ± 0.33) × 10(-12) exp[(690 ± 98)K/T] cm(3) s(-1) molecule(-1) (2σ error). We applied the coupled cluster and density functional theory to explore the mechanism of the title reaction. The dominant reaction pathway begins with a barrierless association of the C of the CH group of HCCO and the O atom of SO(2).

This study is the application of a recurrent neural networks with Bayesian regularization optimizer (RNNs-BRO) to analyze the effect of various physical parameters on fluid velocity, temperature, and mass concentration profiles in the Darcy-Forchheimer flow of propylene glycol mixed with carbon nanotubes model across a stretched cylinder. This model has significant applications in thermal systems such as in heat exchangers, chemical processing, and medical cooling devices. The data-set of the proposed model has been generated with variation of various parameters such as, curvature parameter, inertia coefficient, Hartmann number, porosity parameter, Eckert number, Prandtl number, radiation parameter, activation energy variable, Schmidt number and reaction rate parameter for different scenarios.

Heart rate response to physical activity is widely investigated in clinical and training practice, as it provides information on a person's physical state. For emerging digital phenotyping approaches, there is a need for individualized model estimation. In this study, we propose a zero-poles model and a data-driven evolutionary learning method for identification.

Acetogenic bacteria play an important role in various biotechnological processes, because of their chemolithoautotrophic metabolism converting carbon dioxide with molecular hydrogen (H) as electron donor into acetate. As the main factor limiting acetogenesis is often H, insights into the H consumption kinetics of acetogens are required to assess their potential in biotechnological processes. In this study, initial H consumption rates at a range of different initial H concentrations were measured for three different acetogens.

Objectives: This study evaluates the effectiveness of nanopore sequencing for accurate detection of Mycobacterium tuberculosis pathogens and drug resistance mutations in clinical specimens.

Methods: A retrospective analysis of 2,421 specimens from suspected tuberculosis patients admitted to Xi'an Chest Hospital from 2022 to 2023 was conducted, with 131 specimens undergoing via real-time, fluorescence-based quantitative Polymerase Chain Reaction (qPCR), simultaneous amplification and testing RNA (RNA), Mycobacterium culture, Mycobacterium smear, and nanopore sequencing. Employing clinical tuberculosis diagnoses as the gold standard, sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value, concordance rate, and Kappa coefficient were measured for the five detection techniques.
