A Simple Evaluation of the Fracture Toughness of Discontinuous Fiber Reinforced Composites

Characterization and conservation of the stone used in the Cathedral of Granada, Spain

This paper summarizes a study carried out on the Granada Cathedral which includes studies of indicators, factors and mechanisms of deterioration. A complete chemical and physical characterization of altered and unaltered material from the quarries and the building has been made. Eight commercial treatment products hav…

Biological colonization and deterioration of mortars by phototrophic organisms

In the last years, considerable studies on the effect of phototrophic organisms (cyanobacteria, algae, lichens, mosses and vascular plants) on cultural heritage properties have been carried out. The data indicate that these organisms, instead of having an irrelevant role, actively participate in the deteriorating proc…

Monuments deterioration evaluation, using digited images. A methodology

In this work a methodology is proposed for data processing, integrating the techniques of digital images processing and the analytical capacity of graphical referencing systems and relational databases, in relation with the monuments. The images are generated using the digital image processing and they are included in…

Characterization of the Open Porosity of Brake Pads. III. Analysis of the Effects of a Thermal Treatment on Porosity.

La adherencia en los morteros de albañilería

The work presents a study carried out to determine the bond strength reached by bricklaying mortars at 28 days. 23 different dosages were prepared using 4 cement types, 2 sand types and 4 aggregate types. The results prove the feasibility of using the mentioned method to determine bond strength. The values at 28 days…

On the question of silk in pre-Han Eurasia

When was silk first brought across the steppe from far China towards the European world? There is silk from the Middle Bronze Age of Uzbekistan, in Scythian burials of Siberia and among the Hallstatt grave-goods of western Europe. Teasing out the story of silk depends on identifying the textile, and distinguishing its…

Chemical Preparation of Manganese Dioxide/Polypyrrole Composites and Their Use as Cathode Active Materials for Rechargeable Lithium Batteries

Chemical preparation of composite powders of polypyrrole and either , , or spinel has been successfully achieved by injecting liquid pyrrole into an acidic medium containing suspended manganese dioxide powder as an oxidizing agent. The content of manganese dioxide in the composites increased with increasing amount of…

The reaction of ammonia with nitrogen dioxide in a flow reactor: Implications for the NH2 + NO2 reaction

Abstract The NH 3 /NO 2 system has been investigated experimentally in an isothermal flow reactor in the temperature range 850–1350 K. The experimental data were interpreted in terms of a detailed reaction mechanism. The flow reactor results, supported by a theoretical analysis of the NH 2 NO 2 complex, suggest that…

Stability of Liquid Crystalline Macroemulsions

The topological stability of emulsions of liquid crystal in water (glycerol) matrices is demonstrated for a wide range of materials and concentrations. Coalescence is prevented by an energy barrier for a topological ring defect formation in a neck between the two merging droplets. There is a characteristic size of emu…

From Porphyrin Isomers to Octapyrrolic “Figure Eight” Macrocycles

Cyclooctapyrroles such as 1–3 tend to form during the condensation of dipyrrolic units if cyclization to cyclotetrapyrroles is hindered for conformational reasons. These macrocycles are chiral and might afford interesting complexes with metal ions. Their most intriguing feature is their unusual figure-eight conformati…

CO chemisorption on TiO2(110): Oxygen vacancy site influence on CO adsorption

CO chemisorption has been studied on TiO2(110) under surface conditions where oxygen anion vacancy sites are not present (oxidized surface), compared to conditions where the vacancy sites are present (annealed surface). The binding energy of CO on the nondefective TiO2(110) surface is 9.9 kcal/mole in the limit of zer…

Electron density and optical anisotropy in rhombohedral carbonates. III. Synchrotron X-ray studies of CaCO3, MgCO3 and MnCO3

Diffraction-deformation electron-density (Δp) images for small, naturally faced single crystals of synthetic calcite (CaCO 3 ), magnesite (MgCO 3 ) and mineral rhodochrosite (MnCO 3 ) were measured with focused λ = 0.7 and 0.9 A synchrotron (SR) X-radiation. Mo Kα (λ = 0.71073 A) structure factors were also measured f…

The Role of Porphyrin‐to‐Porphyrin Linkage Topology in the Extensive Modulation of the Absorptive and Emissive Properties of a Series of Ethynyl‐ and Butadiynyl‐Bridged Bis‐ and Tris(porphinato)zinc Chromophores

Abstract A new method for the regulation of the photophysical properties of highly conjugated porphyrin arrays is described. The absorptive and emissive signatures of such supramolecular structures can be modulated to an impressive degree by regulation of: i) the extent of the steric interactions that define the barri…

An Improved Model for Structural Transformations of Heat-Treated Aluminous Dioctahedral 2:1 Layer Silicates

Abstract An improved model for the interpretation of thermal effects during dehydroxylation in aluminous dioctahedral 2:1 layer phyllosilicates considers trans- vacant (tv) and cis- vacant (cv) 2:1 layers and leads to very different temperatures of dehydroxylation for these tv and cv vacant modifications. In particula…

Doxorubicin encapsulated in sterically stabilized liposomes for the treatment of a brain tumor model: biodistribution and therapeutic efficacy

Anthracyclines entrapped in small-sized, sterically stabilized liposomes have the advantage of long circulation time, reduced systemic toxicity, increased uptake into systemic tumors, and gradual release of their payload. To date, there is no information on the behavior of these liposomes in brain tumors. The objectiv…
