Measurement of cation selectivity in soils provides important information about the affinity and binding strength of a particular cation on soil surfaces. Gaines‐Thomas ( K GT ) selectivity coefficients were determined for a variety of K/Ca and K/Pb ratios on an Oxisol and Ultisol soil from Puerto Rico. The calculated…

Abstract Aramid (kevlar‐49) fibers were surface treated by two different methods to induce roughness and then used to produce unidirectional nylon 66 based composites. The transcrystallinity generated around the treated fibers was characterized by SEM and polarized light microscopy and compared with the regular transc…

Quantum-chemical open-shell method with parametrization INDO is used to construct the model of a large unit cell for the [Si- V ] 0 impurity complex in diamond. It is shown that the ground spin-triplet state of the complex exerts tunnel (rather than Jahn-Teller) splitting associated with off-center shift of Si atom al…

The chemical grafting of alkanethiol-terminated poly(ethylene glycol) to a gold substrate from dimethylformamide solution was monitored by in situ ellipsometry for several molar concentrations. In the initial stage a layer of mushroom-like moieties forms and, on a much longer time scale, is followed by conformational…

Optical functions of cobalt phthalocyanine, nickel phthalocyanine (NiPc), and iron phthalocyanine (FePc) have been determined by use of spectroscopic ellipsometry in the spectral range 1.55-4.1 eV (300-800 nm). The samples were prepared by evaporation onto glass and silicon substrates. The optical functions were deter…

Abstract The polymerization of metal salts of N ‐chloroacetyl‐ β ‐alanine and N ‐chloroacetyl‐4‐aminobutyric acid was investigated. The former gives a mixture of polymer and a seven‐membered cyclic compound constituted of glycolic and β ‐alanine units, and its reaction proceeds in the solid state. However, liquefactio…

Abstract The formation of inclusion complexes of well‐known 1,4‐dihydropyridine calcium antagonists, such as nifedipine (NF) and nicardipine (NC), with β‐cyclodextrin (βCD) was investigated by differential pulse polarography (DPP) and UV‐vis spectrophotometry. The equimolar variation method indicated the formation of…

We present a method for synthesizing insulator-coated carbon nanotubes by pulsed laser deposition. Isolated multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) were coated with an SiO x thin layer in a multishell form. The product showed that a stoichiometric SiO 2 thin layer was uniformly wrapped around a MWNT, and reflected the s…

Substantial amounts of self-boiling, Al-rich, hyperalkaline, and saline high-level waste fluids (HLWF) were deposited to the vadose zone at the Hanford Site, in Washington State. The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of similar fluids on the extent of dissolution and precipitation in the sediments…

The effect of yarn hairiness on energy consumption when rotating a ring-spun yarn package is investigated theoretically and experimentally. A theoretical model is developed to calculate the energy required to rotate hair fibers, based on hair length and number as well as package speed and size. A single spindle test r…

Abstract N ‐(2‐Hydroxypropyl)methacrylamide (HPMA) copolymer‐linked nitroxides were synthesized as macromolecular contrast agents for MR imaging. Molar relaxivities of HPMA copolymer‐linked nitroxides increased linearly in proportion to the number of nitroxides attached per gram of copolymer. HPMA copolymer‐linked nit…

We propose a new magnetic force control device, composed of a giant magnetostrictive material (Terfenol-D) and a piezoelectric material (PZT), for coilless magnetic force control. The device uses the inverse magnetostrictive effect, whereby the variation of magnetization of a Terfenol-D rod controlled by PZT is conver…
