A new form of biomineralization in the pineal gland of the human brain has been studied. It consists of small crystals that are less than 20 /spl mu/m in length and that are completely distinct from the often-observed mulberry-type hydroxyapatite concretions. Cubic, hexagonal and cylindrical morphologies have been ide…

A mild, catalytic dehydrocoupling route to aminoboranes and borazine derivatives from either primary or secondary amine-borane adducts has been developed using late transition metal complexes as precatalysts. The dehydrocoupling of Me 2 NH·BH 3 was found to be catalyzed by 0.5 mol% [Rh(1,5-cod)(μ-Cl)] 2 in solution at…

Abstract Hydrogen and helium measurements in pure nickel irradiated to 100 dpa in HFIR at temperatures between 300 and 600°C show higher gas concentrations than predicted from fast-neutron reactions and the two-step 58Ni(n,γ)59Ni (n,p and n,α) reactions. This additional gas production suggests previously unidentified…

Collarets rich in single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) have been grown using a direct current arc method. Arc process parameters such as current, pressure, and anode to cathode distance were varied experimentally and by modeling to provide an optimal working window. The best collaret yields were obtained when heliu…

Lanthanum modified PZT thin films with compositions, namely 8/60/40, 8/70/30, 10/70/30 and 12/70/30 were deposited on platinized silicon substrates by sol-gel spin coating technique. Characterization of these films by XRD and SEM show that the films possess perovskite phase with submicron crystallite size. The saturat…

Rails are often joined by welding and about 80–90 per cent of tracks are welded using the flash-butt welding method. As the result of the welding process, high tensile residual stresses are induced in the web region of the rail, at and near the welded zone. Since the main part of the welded zone is coarse grained and…

Zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles coated with 1–5 wt% Bi 2 O 3 were prepared by precipitating a Bi(NO 3 ) 3 solution onto a ZnO precursor. Transmission electron microscopy showed that a homogeneous Bi 2 O 3 layer coated the surface of the ZnO nanoparticles and that the ZnO particle size was ∼30–50 nm. Scanning electron m…
