Abstract Diffuse Reflectance Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy was used to monitor both molecular interactions and concentrations of volatile organic chemicals adsorbed on a commercial montmorillonite. Chemicals tested included propanoic acid, hexanal, heptanal, trimethylamine, dimethylsulfide and dimethyldisulf…
UNLABELLED: Metal chelate ions are commonly used in medical diagnostic imaging as MRI contrast or imaging agents. The efficacy of these metals depends on their in vivo behavior, which in turn depends on their in vivo speciation. METHODS: A computer model has been used to simulate the speciation of Ga3+ and Gd3+ in blo…
The staging phase transitions which occur during the intercalation of lithium in graphitic carbons were probed by in situ x-ray-diffraction and electrochemical methods. Turbostratic disorder (a random rotation or translation between adjacent graphene layers) in graphitic carbons (heat treated above 2200\ifmmode^\circ\…
A review is presented of the stabilisation of type 430 ferritic stainless steels, and the benefits and shortcomings of stabilizing elemental additions on the corrosion and mechanical properties discussed. Recent trends have been towards the use of dual stabilisation, or a combination of stabilising elements, and these…
The equations of dissipative particle dynamics for a linear harmonic chain are deduced from first principles. From the original chain, a coarse-grained chain is constructed by grouping the particles in clusters; the equations of motion for the position and momenta of these clusters are derived. The clusters interact w…
A theoretical approach for the prediction of the growth forms of crystals is presented on the basis of the kinetics of crystal growth. To describe the growth morphology of crystals, the more precise relations between the relative growth rate of the crystal faces {hkl} ${\mathit{R}}_{\mathit{hkl}}^{\mathrm{red}}$ and h…
Abstract The homopolymerization of butadiene in the presence of a rare earth‐containing catalyst system was examined at 60°C. The catalyst system consists of neodymium octanoate, diethylaluminium sesquichloride and triisobutyl aluminium in n‐heptane. This catalyst shows high activity also at low polymerization tempera…
Abstract— In order to study the cyclic stress‐strain behaviour under variable amplitude loading in terms of dislocation glide character and microstructure, various metals and alloys were cyclically loaded in single‐step tests and in an incremental step test (IST). The cyclic stress‐strain curves (CSS curves) which cor…
Incoherent imaging in the scanning transmission electron microscope (STEM) provides enhanced image resolution, strong Z-contrast, and the capability for direct inversion to the projected structure. It relies on the use of a high angle annular detector to average phase correlations between diffracted beams, while the c…
Beryllium oxide(BeO)-doped (0.3, 0.6, 0.9, 1.2 and 13.6 wt%) UO2 pellets were fabricated to evaluate the effects of BeO precipitate shape on thermal conductivity. Precipitate distributions were of two types: BeO precipitated almost continuously along a grain boundary (designated BeO continuous type) and spherical BeO…
The Y-12 plant at Oak Ridge, Tennessee, produced nuclear materials for the U.S. government's nuclear weapons program beginning in 1943. Workers at Y-12 were exposed to low dose, internal, alpha radiation and external, penetrating radiation, as well as to beryllium, mercury, solvents, and other industrial agents. This…
Oxidation studies have been performed on titanium dibor‐ide (TiB 2 ) powders, from room temperature up to 900°C. The studies were performed at low partial pressures of oxygen, at 10 and 0. 05 ppm of O 2 in argon, simulating furnace atmosphere with flowing neutral gas of medium and high purity, and in air. It has been…
Thermodynamic calculations were performed to analyze the simultaneous oxidation of BN and SiC. The results show that, with limited amounts of oxygen present, the formation of SiO 2 should occur prior to the formation of B 2 O 3 . This agrees with experimental observations of oxidation in glassceramic matrix composites…
Abstract Activated carbon was impregnated with a metal halide, and adsorption and desorption characteristics of CO on the carbon were measured by fixed‐bed runs. It was found that the impregnation of PdCl 2 or CuCl effectively increases CO absorption. PdCl 2 /CuCl‐impregnated carbons were characterized by N 2 adsorpti…
Abstract Three different models have been reported previously to describe the kinetics of the transformation of smectite to illite (Pytte 1982; Velde and Vasseur 1992; Huang et al. 1993). In order to evaluate the general utility of these models to calculate the timing and extent of this transformation, each model was…
Galvanostatic reduction of and sputter‐deposited thin films was investigated as a model for reduction of the passive film on iron. X‐ray absorption near‐edge spectroscopy was used to perform in situ measurements of the valence state and dissolution (thinning rate) of the films during reduction. In borate buffer, the r…
The modABCD operon, located at 17 min on the Escherichia coli chromosome, encodes the protein components of a high affinity molybdate uptake system. Sequence analysis of the modA gene (GenBank L34009) predicts that it encodes a periplasmic binding protein based on the presence of a leader-like sequence at its N termin…

A new parameterization is defined for the quantitative description of octahedral tilting in orthorhombic and tetragonal perovskites. It contains six parameters, s 1 , s 2 , s 3 , θ x , θ y and θ z . s 1 , s 2 and s 3 refer to the lengths of the lines or `stalks' joining pairs of opposite octahedral vertices, and θ x ,…
Electrical impedance measurements have been made in the frequency range 5 Hz to 10 MHz in pure poly(ethylene oxide) having a molecular weight of 600,000 from 12 K nearly up to the melting point of the crystalline phase (about 330 K). A pronounced relaxation peak in the dielectric loss and a corresponding step in the d…
