Efficient adsorption of methyl red, methyl orange and bromothymol blue by polyamine resin: Role of linearity and size of carboxylate in enhanced encapsulation and molecular matching

Dyes constitute the major contribution to the environmental organic pollutants. Besides being hazardous to aquatic life, dyes are highly toxic and injurious to human health. Herein, we disclose the synthesis of a novel hyper cross-linked, dubbed as BPA-PEA, for the adsorptive removal of methyl red (MR), methyl orange (MO) and bromothymol blue (BTB). BPA-PEA displayed maximum adsorption capacities (qmax) for the adsorptive removal of these ionic dyes as 230.6 mg/g, 117.7 mg/g, and 80.42 mg/g for MR, MO and BTB, respectively. Density Functional Theory (DFT) simulations indicate a spontaneous binding process, with binding order closely aligns with the experimentally observed order (MR > MO > BTB). Moreover, the higher interaction in the resin-MR complex was believed due to the linearity and smaller size of the carboxylate group in the MR. Response Surface Methodology (RSM) optimization shows excellent suitability from their statistical parameter as well as low SSE value with the experimental values. The kinetic and isothermal data suggest that the adsorption process followed a chemisorption pathway and adsorption equilibrium was achieved within 2, 6, and 18 h for BTB, MR, and MO, respectively. A significant influence of pH was also observed in the adsorption of MO (5.5), MR (6.1), and BTB (5.3). The BPA-PEA was found to be thermally stable (Td = 348 °C) and mesoporous in nature, having a high surface area (78.3 m2 g−1). The adsorption mechanism is mainly governed by electrostatic interaction between the dyes and adsorbent, however, other adsorptive mechanism such as H-bonding interactions, hydrophobic interactions or π-π interactions were also involved. In addition, the adsorption efficiency of BPA-PEA was maintained for consecutive 5 cycles, with slightly decline (less than 5 mg/g for MR, MO, and BTB) in the adsorption capacity. Given the high adsorption capacity, short adsorption time, and reusability, BPA-PEA can serve as a promising adsorbent for the removal of anionic dyes from wastewater.

The role of linearity in sharing analysis

AbstractSharing analysis is used to statically discover data structures which may overlap in object-oriented programs. Using the abstract interpretation framework, we show that sharing analysis greatly benefits from linearity information. A variable is linear in a program state when different field paths starting from it always reach different objects. We propose a graph-based abstract domain which can represent aliasing, linearity, and sharing information and define all the necessary abstract operators for the analysis of a Java-like language.

Spekkens’ Toy Model, Finite Field Quantum Mechanics, and the Role of Linearity

We map Spekkens’ toy model to a quantum mechanics defined over the finite field . This allows us to define arbitrary linear combinations of the epistemic states in the model. For Spekkens’ elementary system with only 22 = 4 ontic states, the mapping is exact and the two models agree completely. However, for a pair of elementary systems there exist interesting differences between the entangled states of the two models.

RITUAL-RITUAL SEPUTAR HUTAN DAN LADANG SEBAGAI DAYA LENTING MASYARAKAT DAYAK MERATUS DI LOKSADO

There is a Dayak tribe in the Meratus mountains, precisely in the village of Loksado, which is more tribe named as the Meratus Dayak although there are also people who call it the Dayak Bukit. Socially and religiously, this Dayak Meratus community is under heavy pressure from various parties. This pressure was very visible especially among Christian Dayak Meratus people. But in reality, they are able to survive and even develop. That means there is something that causes them to be able to survive and develop. This is then referred to as resilience. By using the method of observation and interviews, the results of the research show that there are several rituals that become their routine agenda, especially those related to farming processions. Balian roles (priests) become central to the rituals that are followed by almost all villagers. Collective awareness that produces collective morality so that it becomes spiritual capital for this community has played a linear role so that they are able to face various challenges in their lives. This becomes very strong when there is divine intervention in it.

Complementary and Alternative Medicine Use and Latina Breast Cancer Survivors' Symptoms and Functioning.

Complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) is used widely in cancer populations, particularly among women, and has shown promise for addressing symptom and functioning outcomes. Few studies to date have evaluated CAM use and associations over time with symptoms and function among Latina breast cancer survivors. We administered a baseline (N = 136) and follow-up (n = 58) telephone survey in Spanish or English assessing Latina breast cancer survivor demographics, physical function, anxiety, depression, fatigue, satisfaction with social roles, and both CAM activities and devotional and spiritual practices. About one-third of our sample (35% baseline; 36% follow-up) reported using CAM (yoga, meditation, massage, or herbal/dietary supplements). We assessed devotional and spiritual practices separately from CAM (church attendance, prayer, religious groups, and reading devotional and religious texts); the majority of Latina survivors reported devotional and spiritual practices (80% baseline; 81% follow-up). At baseline, CAM demonstrated a positive association with better physical functioning and lower depression. In contrast, CAM use at the time of follow-up appeared to be related to lower levels of satisfaction with social roles and physical function. In longitudinal analyses, devotional and spiritual practices at baseline significantly predicted lower anxiety, depression, and fatigue at follow-up. Findings suggest CAM plays a complex and not always linear role in symptoms and function outcomes for Latina breast cancer survivors. These findings contribute to the literature on longitudinal CAM use and associations with symptom and functioning outcomes among Latina breast cancer survivors.

The Role of Unitary and AntiUnitary Operators for NoGo Theorems in Quantum Computing

No‐go theorems for quantum computing give a mathematical proof that quantum dynamic should be linear as well unitary. In this paper we analyze in a detailed way the role of linearity and unitarity for no‐cloning theorem; also we introduce a no‐ go theorem for the square root of Not gate p Not which can never would work in the complete complex Hilbert space.

Analysis on High Temperature Oxidation of U71Mn Steel under CO<sub>2</sub>

Isothermal oxidation kinetics of U71Mn steels under pure CO2 at 1073--1473K are experimentally studied in this paper. The oxidation kinetic results are similar: mass increase per unit area as function of oxidation time nearly follows linear role for long time, with a more rapid increase at the begin. Oxidation rate constants of the steel under pure CO2, from 1073K to 1473K, keep exponential law as function of oxidation time.

Is extensivity a fundamental property of entropy?

The role of linearity in the definition of entropy is examined. While discussions of entropy often treat extensivity as one of its fundamental properties, the extensivity of entropy is not axiomatic in thermodynamics. It is shown that systems in which entropy is an extensive quantity are systems in which a entropy obeys a generalized principle of linear superposition.

Synthesis of chaos and sustainability in a nonstationary linear dynamic model of the American black bear ( Ursus americanus Pallas) in the Adirondack Mountains of New York

Black bears on the 6000-ha Huntington Wildlife Forest, in the central Adirondack region of upper New York State, were modeled using the stella II simulation software. The purposes were to (1) express black-bear biology as a population system inseparably derived from its ecosystem; (2) demonstrate how chaos, with origins in nonlinearity, and sustainability, related to linearity, can be incorporated into dynamical models, minimizing the use of mathematics that may not be well-chosen due to an inadequate rationale; and (3) demonstrate how qualitative biology, natural history, and ecology can be realistically built into a model despite many unknowns and initially limited data. A rationale is presented for synthesizing chaos and sustainability in ecological models. From this and the good behavioral properties observed in simulated baseline and sensitivity dynamics, it is concluded that a useful approach in ecological modelling may be to put nonlinear attributes into the parameter space and linear ones into the state space to conform the two opposed properties of well-behavedness and surprise. The role of linearity in modelling, and in formulating humanity's future ecological paradigm of existence, should not be overlooked.

Axioms of uncertainty measures: dependence and independence

Axiom systems for uncertainty functions in possibility and evidence theories are studied from the point of view of the logical relationships. First, it is proven that monotonicity and subadditivity properties are equivalent in the theory of possibility, however the latter is a strictly stronger property in the theory of evidence. Then the role of linearity and branching property in possibility theory is analyzed. The paper extends the research initiated by Higashi and Klir [5], Higashi [4], Klir and Mariano [6], Ramer and Lander [10] and Ramer [8,9].
