The P-supplying power of the fine-textured soils from Abitibi-Temiscaming (Quebec, Canada) has never been investigated. Anion exchange membranes (AEM), the electro-ultrafiltration (EUF) technique and chemical extractions were used to describe their P status. Phosphorus was desorbed from four soils that had received 52…

Encapsulation of silica nanoparticles was performed by dispersion polymerization of styrene, butyl acrylate and butyl methacrylate in aqueous alcoholic media. Following previous works1-3), the silica beads were first modified by reacting on their surface the 3-trimethoxysilyl propyl methacrylate coupling agent (MPS).…

Abstract Vascular corrosion casting has been used for about 40 years to produce replicas of normal and abnormal vasculature and microvasculature of various tissues and organs that could be viewed at the ultrastructural level. In combination with scanning electron microscopy (SEM), the primary application of corrosion…

The action of pressure-radiation (or Bjerknes) forces on gas bubbles is well understood. This paper studies the analogous phenomenon for vapor bubbles, about which much less is known. A possible practical application is the removal of boiling bubbles from the neighborhood of a heated surface in the case of a downward…

Single-crystal MgO is a good candidate substrate for growing metal oxide films, even though it has a few drawbacks, such as surface degradation caused by its easy reaction with H 2 O and CO 2 and high concentration of impurities originating from the method by which it is grown. We propose a thermal annealing carried o…

The photophysical properties of a ring B benzoporphyrin derivative 1,3-diene dimethylester were investigated in solution (waterDMSO mixtures). At low proportions of water in DMSO, the diester obeys Beer's law at all pH values and ionic strengths investigated. For solvent systems containing more than 30% water, the ex…

We present a method for near-field analysis of ultrashort optical pulse propagation in periodic structures-including subwavelength and resonant grating structures-based on the integration of Fourier spectrum decomposition and rigorous coupled-wave analysis (RCWA). We discuss the spectral decomposition, including consi…

Several solvates of LiBH4 with amines have been prepared and characterized by X-ray structure determinations. LiBH4·3H2NPh (1) is monomeric with a triply bridging BH4 group. LiBH4·2en (3) is shown to be an ionic compound containing chains of cationic [Li(en)2)]+ units. In contrast, the BH4 group of LiBH4·triene (4) fo…

Abstract A new nonlinear optical (NLO) borate crystal Na3La2(BO3)3 (sodium lanthanum borate, NLBO) has been discovered. The bar-shaped crystal with sizes up to 8 × 3 × 2 mm3 was grown by the Top-Seeded Solution Growth (TSSG) method using Na2CO3–H3BO3–NaF as fluxes. The measurement of the infrared spectrum indicated th…

A novel transparent conducting bixbyite solid solution In 2−2 x (Cd,Sn) 2 x O 3 (0 < x < 0.34 at 1175°C) has been discovered. Four‐point dc‐conductivity varies widely with x and the [Sn]/[Cd] ratio with a maximum in excess of 1800 S/cm ( x = 0.05, [Sn]/[Cd] = 9) and a minimum too low to be measured ( x = 0.05, […
