Evaluation of the Influence of Antifoam Formulations on Asphaltene Aggregates Using AFM and SEM‐EDS

open access: yesJournal of Applied Polymer Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Asphaltenes, naturally occurring surfactants in crude oil play a pivotal role in stabilizing oily foams during primary oil processing. Accordingly, understanding how antifoam formulations influence asphaltene aggregation is essential. This study investigates the effect of polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) with varying molar masses on asphaltene ...

Seeking Dhasa; Finding Lhasa: Liminality and Narrative in the Tibetan Refugee Capital of Dharamsala

open access: yesCulture Unbound: Journal of Current Cultural Research, 2016
This article explores the role of narrative and narrativity in stabilising identity in an exile setting, read here as a way to avert what Bjørn Thomassen calls the ‘danger’ inherent to liminality.

Modular Amphiphilic Design Enables Control of Oblique vs J‐Type Exciton Coupling in Aqueous Self‐Assembly

open access: yesChemistryEurope, EarlyView.
Herein, a family of amphiphilic aza‐BODIPY dyes is rationally designed to precisely control the type of exciton coupling (oblique vs J‐type) and the nanoscale morphology in aqueous media. By systematically varying the hydrophilic and hydrophobic substituents, new structure–property relationships that extend the understanding beyond traditional ...

Techniques for carrying out radiative transfer calculations for the Martian atmospheric dust [PDF]

open access: yes
A description is given of the modification of a theory on the reflectance of particulate media so as to apply it to analysis of the infrared spectra obtained by the IRIS instrument on Mariner 9.

Influence of mica on unconfined compressive strength of a cement-treated weathered granite gravel

open access: yesJournal of the South African Institution of Civil Engineers, 2012
The road construction industry faces a shortage of naturally occurring gravel materials that meet the requirements for base or even at times sub-base quality. This situation is exacerbated in some cases by the occurrence of mica in soils.

Estimating strongly wetting to non‐wetting contact angles for pure and mixed liquids on solids by considering film pressure

open access: yesThe Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
Abstract In solid–liquid–vapour systems, the effect of film pressure (πe$$ {\pi}_e $$) by vapour adsorbate molecules becomes significant when the solid surface energy is similar to or larger than that of the liquid. We extend Young equation applicability to estimate contact angles of pure and mixed liquids on smooth solids by including πe$$ {\pi}_e $$,
