A two-dimensional mathematical model for vacuum-contact drying of wood is presented. The moisture and heat equations are based on the water potential concept whereas the pressure equation is formulated considering unsteady state conservation equation of dry air. Most of the model parameters were determined during inde…
Photosynthetic organisms inhabiting the caves of Frasassi (Italy) were identified and aspects of their strategy of acclimation to the cavern environment investigated. The habitats of the organisms were characterized with special reference to light, the inorganic carbon system and the availability of inorganic N, P and…
The support–overlayer adsorptive interactions, generated when solutions of Anderson heteropolyoxomolybdates were supported as a monolayer on γ-Al 2 O 3 by means of the equilibrium adsorption method, were studied by XRD analysis, DR spectroscopy, electron microscopy (SEM–EDAX) and TPR methods. The adsorption isotherms…
The reaction by which kaolinite transforms to I-S has been studied by SEM and TEM using core samples from the Salton Sea Scientific Drilling Project. Kaolinite is abundant from the surface to a depth of ∼300 m (∼115°C), decreasing in abundance and becoming undetectable at a depth of ∼500 m (∼160°C), with a concomitant…
The effects of Fe doping in ${\mathrm{La}}_{0.67}{\mathrm{Sr}}_{0.33}{\mathrm{CoO}}_{3}$ has been studied by the measurements of magnetic, electrical transport, and magnetoresistance properties. It is found that no apparent structure change is introduced by Fe doping up to $x=0.3.$ But the Curie temperature ${T}_{c}$…
Four previously unknown n-C25 and n-C27 heptaenes of the marine diatom Rhizosolenia setigera were isolated and identified using NMR spectroscopy. They possess six methylene interrupted (Z)-double bonds starting at C-3 and an additional terminal or n-2 (Z)-double bond. Structural and stable carbon isotopic evidence sug…
This paper describes the effect of substituent and ester linkage on smectic properties for some derivatives of 4-R -phenyl 4-(4-octyloxybenzoyloxy)benzoates (1), 4-octyloxyphenyl 4-(4-R-benzyloxy)benzoates (2), 4-(4-octyloxybenzoyloxy)phenyl 4- R -benzoates (3), and 4-R-phenyl 4-octyloxyphenyl terephthalates (4) where…
CYP119 is a cytochrome P450 with a molecular weight of 43 kDa which has been isolated from the thermophilic archaeon Sulfolobus solfataricus. This enzyme is extremely stable to high temperature and high pressure. The first crystallization and preliminary crystallographic study of CYP119 is reported here. Crystals of C…
Structures of various phases that appear in antiferroelectric liquid crystals can be described within a simple discrete phenomenological model of antiferroelectric liquid crystals, which for the smectic-C-alpha (SmC(alpha)) phase suggests a short-pitch helicoidal structure. In a paper presented here the same model is…
A Rietveld refinement of Cr-doped mullite, Cr 0.5 Al 3.92 Si 1.58 O 9.79 , orthorhombic, space group Pbam [a = 7.56712(6) Å, b = 7.70909(6) Å, c = 2.90211(2) Å, V = 169.30 Å 3 ] revealed Cr to reside predominantly in the octahedrally coordinated M1 site. The mean M1-O distance of 1.935 Å is that expected from Al 3+ an…
Diffuse x-ray scattering is a powerful means to study the structure of defects in crystalline solids. The traditional analysis of diffuse x-ray scattering experiments relies on analytical and numerical methods which are not well suited for studying complicated defect configurations. We present here an atomistic simula…
Abstract The nature of phase mixing in semi‐interpenetrating polymer networks (SIPNs) of poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC)/thermoset blends was studied by using both the glass transition temperature third power composition equation and DMTA modeling. From 5% to 15% by weight of an oligomeric MDI isocyanate or a low viscosity…
The synthesis of metal-free and metallo derivatives ( Ni , Zn ) of tetrasubstituted phthalocyanines (Pcs) obtained from 4-[methyleneoxy(15-crown-5)]phthalonitrile is described. The new compounds have been characterized by elemental analyses, IR, 1 H and 13 C NMR , MS and UV-vis. The thermal stabilities of the compound…
A di(μ-phenoxo)Co II Cu I complex, [CoCu(L)]ClO 4 ·0.5DMF, has been prepared where (L) 2 - is a macrocyclic dinucleating compartmental ligand derived from the 2:1:1 condensation of 2,6-diformyl-4-methylphenol, ethylenediamine, and 3-thia-1,5-pentanediamine, having a salen-like N 2 O 2 metal-binding site (salen = N, N…
C -axis-oriented Bi 4 Ti 3 O 12 thin films were prepared on (111)Pt/Ti/SiO 2 /Si substrates by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) using a sequential source gas supply method taking account of the crystal structure of Bi 4 Ti 3 O 12 along the c -axis. The X-ray diffraction intensities of Bi 4 Ti 3 O 12 (006…
A bulk Ge 20 Te 80 glass was prepared using a melt-quench technique. The crystallization mechanism was studied using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), scanning electron microscopy and x-ray diffraction. DSC was performed at different heating rates under non-isothermal conditions. From the heating-rate dependenc…
A clinical field trial was performed on a herd of Hereford beef cows in central Saskatchewan. The herd had a history of being severely affected with vertical fissures. The objective of the study was to determine the effects of supplemental dietary biotin on the prevalence of vertical fissures in beef cows. In June 199…
The generalized-hydrodynamic theory for collective diffusion of a monodisperse colloidal suspension is developed in the framework of the Onsager-Machlup theory of time-dependent fluctuations. The time evolution of the intermediate scattering function F(k,t) is derived as a contraction of the description involving the…
Unit-cell parameters, optical properties, and chemical compositions have been measured for 103 samples in the tremolite-actinolite-ferro-actinolite series. The average values of the non-essential constituents are: T Al = 0.10(11), C Al = 0.06(6), B (Fe, Mn, Mg) = 0.09(7), B Na = 0.04(5), A Na = 0.09(9), and Cr, Ti, an…
Carbon nanomaterials were prepared by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) and hot-filament CVD (HF-CVD) methods. The substrates were silicon <100 > and copper plates on which catalytic metal or metal-oxide thin films were coated by means of the cathodic arc deposition technique. Ethylene gas was used as a precursor.…
