Adsorption of oppositely charged species (e.g., protons, specifically adsorbing ions, surfactants, or polyelectrolytes) may destabilize a particle suspension by charge neutralization or stabilize it by buildup of charge, leading to a fast aggregation near the charge neutralization point, and slow aggregation away from it.
Terzaghi's principle applies well to porous materials whose solid constituents are incompressible - soil, for example, is composed of grains of incompressible silica so that the volume change in soil during consolidation is due solely to the rearrangement of these constituents with respect to one another.
Dissociation in chemistry is a general process in which molecules (or ionic compounds such as salts, or complexes) separate or split into other things such as atoms, ions, or radicals, usually in a reversible manner.
Hydrophobic collapse is a proposed process for the production of the 3-D conformation adopted by polypeptides and other molecules in polar solvents. The theory states that the nascent polypeptide forms initial secondary structure ( ɑ-helices and β-strands ) creating localized regions of predominantly hydrophobic residues .
In polymer physics, the coil–globule transition is the collapse of a macromolecule from an expanded coil state through an ideal coil state to a collapsed globule state, or vice versa. The coil–globule transition is of importance in biology due to the presence of coil-globule transitions in biological macromolecules such as proteins [ 1 ...
Consolidation is a great way to stay on top of your monthly payments. Federal student loan payments have resumed, so you must start worrying about due dates again. And if you have federal loans ...
Debt consolidation combines multiple debts under a new personal loan or credit card to streamline repayment. Consolidating makes the most sense if you qualify for a lower rate than what you had on ...
Debt Consolidation Pros and Cons. Pros: Simplified monthly payments. Potentially lower interest rates (average reduction of 5-10%) Maintained or improved credit score if payments are made on time
