This study focuses on investigating the effect of Terminalia chebula Ritz. extract (TCE) for corrosion inhibition of Al in phosphoric acid (H3PO4) using potentiodynamic polarization (PDP) technique. In this study, the effect of concentration of TCE extract, the concentration of H3PO4 acid medium, and temperature (T) was investigated on the corrosion current density (icorr) and inhibition efficiency (IE). The TCE was characterized by FTIR analysis, and the adsorption of TCE was justified with the help of kinetic, thermodynamic, adsorption isotherm parameters. The surface morphology study was done using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDXS), and atomic force microscopy (AFM). The study also focuses on identifying the optimum process parameters for obtaining the maximum IE by applying the response surface methodology (RSM) and desirability function approach. The maximum IE of 83.24% was achieved at a temperature of 30 ℃, the concentration of TCE extract of 500 ppm, and H3PO4 acid concentration of 0.5 M. Regression analysis, Pareto chart, normal chart, main effect, and interaction effect plots are employed to acquire an in-depth understanding of process variables on IE. The IE obtained from the experiments and the predicted model is in a close match and a high value of the coefficient of determination (R2 = 99.98%) displays that the generated model was able to estimate the IE accurately from the selected process variables.
The chronology of events in time–space is naturally available to the senses, and the spatial and temporal dimensions of events entangle in episodic memory when navigating the real world. The mapping of time–space during navigation in both animals and humans implicates the hippocampal formation. Yet, one arguably unique human trait is the capacity to imagine mental chronologies that have not been experienced but may involve real events—the foundation of causal reasoning. Herein, we asked whether the hippocampal formation is involved in mental navigation in time (and space), which requires internal manipulations of events in time and space from an egocentric perspective. To address this question, we reanalyzed a magnetoencephalography data set collected while participants self-projected in time or in space and ordered historical events as occurring before/after or west/east of the mental self [Gauthier, B., Pestke, K., & van Wassenhove, V. Building the arrow of time… Over time: A sequence of brain activity mapping imagined events in time and space. Cerebral Cortex, 29, 4398–4414, 2019]. Because of the limitations of source reconstruction algorithms in the previous study, the implication of hippocampus proper could not be explored. Here, we used a source reconstruction method accounting explicitly for the hippocampal volume to characterize the involvement of deep structures belonging to the hippocampal formation (bilateral hippocampi [hippocampus proper], entorhinal cortices, and parahippocampal cortex). We found selective involvement of the medial temporal lobes (MTLs) with a notable lateralization of the main effects: Whereas temporal ordinality engaged mostly the left MTL, spatial ordinality engaged mostly the right MTL. We discuss the possibility of a top–down control of activity in the human hippocampal formation during mental time (and space) travels.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
