The micellization and the thermodynamic properties of a series of sodium cyclohexyl alkanoates of the general formula C6H11(CH2)nCOONa (where n = 1, 2, 3, 4) were investigated employing conductivity, density, surface tension, viscosity, speed of sound, luminescence probing experiments, and Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy. The critical micelle concentrations (cmcs) and the aggregation numbers indicate that these surfactants have high cmc values and low aggregation numbers when compared to other single-headed surfactants (most notably the sodium alkanoates). Thermodynamic properties, obtained from the mass action model, indicate that micellization is spontaneous and entropically driven. The saturation area per molecule, the free energies of adsorption, and the efficiency and effectiveness of adsorption were determined through surface tension measurements. The presence of the cylcohexyl ring appears to influence the surface properties of micellization. Both the effectiveness and the efficiency of these surfactants, in lowering the surface tension of water, are lower than that of the straight chain alkanoates.Key words: thermodynamics, micellization, aggregation numbers, speed of sound, and spectroscopy.

The apparent molar volumes, heat capacities, relative enthalpies, and isentropic compressibilities of symmetrical trialkylamine oxides and cyclohexyldimethylamine oxide were measured in water at 25 °C. The data were in most cases analyzed with a mass-action model which was previously developed (J. Phys. Chem. 87, 1397 (1983)) for micellar systems. Trimethylamine oxide shows no sign of micellization while the three next members of this homologous series and cyclohexyldimethylamine oxide form aggregates with relatively low aggregation numbers. The thermodynamic data were compared with those of assymmetrical amine oxides to investigate the effect of geometry on the micellar properties. The thermodynamic properties of the solutes in the pre-micellar region show a very good group additivity which is independent of geometry. On the other hand, with symmetrical isomers, the CMCs are much larger, the aggregation numbers smaller and the thermodynamic functions of micellization larger. These geometrical factors can be taken advantage of for thermal energy storage.

ABSTRACTA joint experimental and modelling programme is reported, which aims to improve our understanding of sorption processes of radionuclides onto repository materials. Diffusion/sorption experiments of sorption onto cement are described, although results are limited at this stage. The modelling studies use the coupled chemical equilibria and transport code CHEQMATE to simulate some of these experiments. The chemical part of the model is based on a simple mass-action model of sorption. More detailed comparisons will continue when the experiments are terminated, and the samples are sectioned.

This paper demonstrates a new time-delayed mass action model which applies a set of delay differential equations (DDEs) to represent the dynamics of gene regulatory networks (GRNs). The mass action model is a classical model which is often used to describe the kinetics of biochemical processes, so it is fit for GRN modeling. The ability to incorporate time-delayed parameters in this model enables different time delays of interaction between genes. Moreover, an efficient learning method which employs population-based incremental learning (PBIL) algorithm and trigonometric differential evolution (TDE) algorithm TDE is proposed to automatically evolve the structure of the network and infer the optimal parameters from observed time-series gene expression data. Experiments on three well-known motifs of GRN and a real budding yeast cell cycle network show that the proposal can not only successfully infer the network structure and parameters but also has a strong anti-noise ability. Compared with other works, this method also has a great improvement in performances.
