TL;DR: In this paper, a user friendly program (LT) for analysis of the lifetime spectra has been designed for personal computers, which enables one to analyse both discrete and continuous spectra as well as mixed- partially linear and partially continuous spectras.
Abstract: A user friendly program (LT) for analysis of the lifetime spectra has been designed for personal computers. The program is compared with other existing programs such as POSITRONFIT, CONTIN and MELT. LT enables one to analyse both discrete and continuous spectra as well as mixed- partially linear and partially continuous spectra. The searched parameters are found by using a fully automatic procedure and/or by a nonlinear optimising procedure, starting from a set of chosen parameters. The program is tested for series of simulated data as well as some chosen experimental ones, especially for the two polymers PTFE and hard polyethylene. The analysis of these polymer spectra is carried out on the basis of the log-normal distribution model and a new model of the lifetime spectrum developed by Dauwe et al., recently adapted to LT.

TL;DR: The purpose of this review is to provide a comprehensive overview of advances in the applications of biosurfactants and biosurFactant-producing microorganisms in hydrocarbon and metal remediation technologies.
Abstract: Increasing public awareness of environmental pollution influences the search and development of technologies that help in clean up of organic and inorganic contaminants such as hydrocarbons and metals. An alternative and eco-friendly method of remediation technology of environments contaminated with these pollutants is the use of biosurfactants and biosurfactant-producing microorganisms. The diversity of biosurfactants makes them an attractive group of compounds for potential use in a wide variety of industrial and biotechnological applications. The purpose of this review is to provide a comprehensive overview of advances in the applications of biosurfactants and biosurfactant-producing microorganisms in hydrocarbon and metal remediation technologies.

TL;DR: In this paper, a review of the mechanisms underlying the relaxation properties of glass-forming liquids and polymers is provided, with an emphasis in the insight provided into the mechanism underlying the glass relaxation properties.
Abstract: An intriguing problem in condensed matter physics is understanding the glass transition, in particular the dynamics in the equilibrium liquid close to vitrification Recent advances have been made by using hydrostatic pressure as an experimental variable These results are reviewed, with an emphasis in the insight provided into the mechanisms underlying the relaxation properties of glass-forming liquids and polymers

TL;DR: The variability of the bottom sediment loading with metals during the investigations was affected in the first place by changes in the concentration of iron, but also those elements whose concentrations in the top sediment were elevated compared to the concentrations in shale--cadmium, nickel and lead.
