A Multiwavelength Light-curve Analysis of the Classical Nova KT Eri: Optical Contribution from a Large Irradiated Accretion Disk by Izumi Hachisu, Mariko Kato, Frederick M. Walter

“…We determined the white dwarf mass to be M _WD = 1.3 ± 0.02 M _⊙ , the hydrogen-burning turnoff epoch to be ∼240 days after the outburst, the distance modulus in the V band to be ( m − M ) _V = 13.4 ± 0.2, and the distance to KT Eri to be d = 4.2 ± 0.4 kpc for the reddening of E ( B − V ) = 0.08. The peak absolute V brightness is about ${M}_{V,{\rm{\max }}}=-8.0$ and the corresponding recurrence time is ∼3000 yr from its ignition mass together with the mean mass-accretion rate of ${\dot{M}}_{{\rm{acc}}}\sim 1\times 1{0}^{-9}\,{M}_{\odot }$ yr ^−1 in quiescence. …”

Protein hydrolysate as an efficient and environmental-friendly swelling inhibitor in clay formations by Yahya Dashti-Rahmatabadi, Hamid Saeidian, Javad Mokhtari, Zohreh Mirjafary

“…The findings from various analytical methods suggest that amino acids, peptides, and polypeptides in the HPC interact with clay surfaces, rendering them hydrophobic and impeding swelling. The adsorption of the HPC onto bentonite (Bent) particles leads to a significant change in the zeta potential, shifting from − 32.5 to + 58.0 mV. …”
