  2. Monoisotopic mass - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monoisotopic_mass

    The monoisotopic mass is very useful when analyzing small organic compounds since compounds with similar weights will not be differentiated if the nominal mass is used. For example, when comparing tyrosine which has a molecular structure of C 9 H 11 NO 3 with a monoisotopic mass of 182.081 Da and methionine sulphone C 5 H 11 NO 4 S which ...

  3. Palmitic acid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palmitic_acid

    Palmitic acid (hexadecanoic acid in IUPAC nomenclature) is a fatty acid with a 16-carbon chain. It is the most common saturated fatty acid found in animals, plants and microorganisms. [ 9 ] [ 10 ] Its chemical formula is CH 3 (CH 2 ) 14 COOH , and its C:D ratio (the total number of carbon atoms to the number of carbon-carbon double bonds) is 16:0.

  4. Creep and shrinkage of concrete - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/.../Creep_and_shrinkage_of_concrete

    At variable mass of evaporable (i.e., not chemically bound) water per unit volume of concrete, a physically realistic constitutive relation may be based on the idea of microprestress , considered to be a dimensionless measure of the stress peaks at the creep sites in the microstructure. The microprestress is produced as a reaction to chemical ...

  5. Mass (mass spectrometry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mass_(mass_spectrometry)

    The monoisotopic mass is the sum of the masses of the atoms in a molecule using the unbound, ground-state, rest mass of the principal (most abundant) isotope for each element. [12] [5] The monoisotopic mass of a molecule or ion is the exact mass obtained using the principal isotopes. Monoisotopic mass is typically expressed in daltons.

  6. Monoisotopic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monoisotopic

    Monoisotopic mass is the sum of the masses of the atoms in a molecule using the most abundant isotope for each element; Monoisotopic element is one of the 26 chemical elements which have only one stable isotope

  7. Properties of concrete - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Properties_of_concrete

    Concrete has a very low coefficient of thermal expansion, and as it matures concrete shrinks. All concrete structures will crack to some extent, due to shrinkage and tension. Concrete which is subjected to long-duration forces is prone to creep. The density of concrete varies, but is around 2,400 kilograms per cubic metre (150 lb/cu ft). [1]

  8. Loss on ignition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loss_on_ignition

    For example, the loss on ignition of fly ash is composed of contaminants and unburnt fuel. In pyroprocessing industries such as lime,calcined bauxite, refractories or cement manufacture, the loss on ignition of the raw material is roughly equivalent to the mass loss it will experience in a kiln. Likewise, in minerals, the loss on ignition ...

  9. Sulfate attack in concrete and mortar - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sulfate_attack_in_concrete...

    Oxidation of pyrite in clay formations in contact with concrete – this produces sulfuric acid which reacts with concrete. Bacterial activity in sewers – anaerobic sulfate reduction at work in the organic-rich sludges accumulated under water in the conduits produces hydrogen sulfide gas (H 2 S).
