The shear viscosities of Cl-bearing melts in the system Na 2 O-Fe 2 O 3 -Al 2 O 3 -SiO 2 were determined at temperatures of 550-950 °C in the range of 10 8.5 to 10 12.0 Pa s using the micropenetration technique. The compositions are based on addition of Fe 2 O 3 or FeCl 3 to aluminosilicate glasses with a fixed amount…

Abstract Twenty two samples were studied to investigate the nature and evolution mechanism of mixed-layer kaolinite-smectite (K-S). We examined the <2 µm or <0.2 µm fraction of K-S formed by hydrothermal and hypergenic alteration of volcanic material. The samples are from three localities: 20 specimens from a To…

An attempt was made to incorporate β-Cyclodextrin (β-CD) onto the surface of the nanofiber to target potential applications in organic waste treatment. Phenylcarbomylated and azido phenylcarbomylated β-CD were successfully blended with poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) and electrospun into nanofibrous membrane respecti…

The electron backscattering coefficient of liquid water has been determined for electrons in the energy range 15-30 keV using Quantomix capsules. Values of the mean atomic number for water estimated from a fit to the backscatter yield, the mean ionization potential of water and from Monte Carlo simulations, show that…

The design of a lens that modulates the geometric phase of an optical beam by manipulating its polarization is presented. To produce such a geometric phase element with a spatially varying phase function, one needs a wave plate with varying orientation. One can use subwavelength grooves to produce form birefringence,…

Electromagnetic emission at the very high frequency (VHF) range of 30 to 300 MHz is used to detect surface defects on outdoor polymer zinc oxide (ZnO) surge arresters. The partial discharge related signals are recorded and studied. Since the surge arresters are usually exposed to adverse weather conditions, the effect…

The transcription efficiency of an adhesion protein gene, ap65-1, in Trichomonas vaginalis varies with changes in the iron supply and with the growth stage. In the present study, two Myb recognition elements, MRE-1/MRE-2r and MRE-2f, were found to play antagonistic roles in regulating the iron-inducible activity of an…

To improve kinetic models for apatite fission-track annealing, we present new experimental annealing data that complement previously published data. To determine the degree of annealing of induced tracks, surface density (ρ), and mean horizontal-confined track lengths (l), were measured, both for basal and randomly or…

The notch tensile strength of a boron bearing steel at 1305 MPa has been investigated by means of slow strain rate tests after electrochemical hydrogen charging. Results show that the notch tensile strength of the steel decreased with increasing diffusible hydrogen content and the decrease in the notch tensile strengt…

A new procedure to quantify the contrast in annular dark field images recorded without lattice resolution in a scanning transmission electron microscope is proposed. The method relies on the use of an in-column energy filter prior to the annular dark field detector and the acquisition of a series of energy-filtered im…

We report on the loading and release behaviors of polyelectrolyte multilayers based on hydrophobically modified carboxymethylpullulan (CMP) derivatives and poly(ethyleneimine) (PEI) toward hydrophobic dye. The dye-loaded films are obtained according to two different protocols: (i) the postdiffusion approach, which inv…

Abstract Under closed geochemical conditions, the weathering of a serpentinite rock composed of serpentine (70–85%) and magnesian chlorite (10–15%) associated with magnetite and chromite leads to the complete replacement of serpentine and chlorite by 2:1 layer silicates and produces new Fe oxides. The serpentine miner…
