Diatom and sedimentological analyses of a 7.6-m core of the Albufeira coastal lagoon, western Portugal, provide information about the forcing factors and environmental history of the evolution of this lagoon during the last 2500 years. At this timescale, eustasy is considered to be a minor environmental control on the…

In the present paper we experimentally study the effects of a rotating magnetic field (RMF) on the fluid flow in an electrically conducting melt (Gallium), kept in a cylindrical container heated from below (Rayleigh-Bénard configuration). The experimental data are compared to results obtained from three-dimensional, t…

We analyze the short-time dynamical behavior of a colloidal suspension in a confined geometry. We analyze the relevant dynamical response of the solvent, and derive the temporal behavior of the velocity autocorrelation function, which exhibits an asymptotic negative algebraic decay. We are able to compare quantitative…

Abstract In liquid composite molding, such as RTM or SRIM, the dry reinforcement is first compressed in the mold, and then the resin is injected into the mold cavity and cured. Knowledge of the compressibility of the reinforcement is important in order to estimate the mold closing force and the attainable range of fib…

Abstract To examine a hypothesis that microorganisms regard poly(l-lactide) (PLLA) as a protein substrate like silk, a silk-utilizing actinomycete, Amycolatopsis sp. strain KT-s-9, was isolated. The strain KT-s-9 was confirmed to degrade and utilize silk fibroin rapidly. By the clear zone method, it was determined tha…

Synthesis of cage and ladder silsesquioxanes by the dehydration of silanols using dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (DCC) is described. The reaction of 1,3-dicyclohexyldisiloxane-1,1,3,3-tetraol with DCC gave octa(cyclohexylsilsesquioxane) in 13% yield. The bicyclic ladder siloxane 3 (Ph 8 Thex 2 Si 6 O 7 ) was prepared from 1…

In this study we have quantified the ionic content and volume of native aquatic, and two cultured bacteria, by X-ray microanalysis (XRMA) in the transmission electron microscope (TEM). The cellular concentrations of magnesium (means of 630 and 710 mM) were more than an order of a magnitude higher than the outside conc…

Abstract Two Mg-Al spinels (FAS1 and FAS2) in high-grade hornfels from the Toal de Mason skarn (Predazzo Monzoni, NE Italy) were investigated by means of single crystal X-ray diffraction and electron microprobe analysis in order to evaluate the last intra-crystalline closure temperature. The evidence provided by cryst…

This paper extends a moving screw dislocation theory in a conventional crystal to a one-dimensional hexagonal quasicrystal in the framework of the Landau theory. By introducing two functions φ and ψ which satisfy wave equations, respectively, a general solution is suggested in terms of φ and ψ. The analytical expressi…

The copolymerization of glycolide with ε-caprolactone was performed in the presence of tin octoate at moderate temperatures (100 and 150°C). The influence of the conditions (comonomer ratio, temperature) on the chain microstructure of the obtained copolymers was examined. Transesterification was found to affect consid…

A detailed analysis of the structure of glycolide/ε-caprolactone copolymers was performed using 13C and 1H NMR. All methylene and carbonyl carbons of glycolidyl and caproyl units in the 13C NMR spectra were found to be sensitive to the microstructure. The 1H NMR spectra allow not only to determine the copolymer compos…

The enthalpy of formation of kaolin polymorphs at 298 K has been determined by dropsolution calorimetry into molten lead borate at 975 K. Corrections have been made for impurities in the samples. The standard enthalpy of formation from the elements is: kaolinite -4120.2 ± 6.6 kJ/mol, dickite -4107.6 ± 5.7 kJ/mol, nacr…

High-resolution electron-microscopy (HREM) images from different hydroxyapatite (OHAp) samples showed p3 projection symmetry along [001] instead of the p6 projection symmetry compatible with the space group P6_3/m of OHAp. Image processing was used to establish without ambiguity that threefold symmetry dominates the i…

Amorphous vanadium pentoxide has been investigated as an intercalation material for Li‐ion batteries due to its high specific energy and high capacity for Li intercalation. However, the rate of insertion is typically limited by lithium diffusion in the host and by its modest conductivity. The present work demonstrates…

Porous silica fibers were synthesized by templating activated carbon fibers using supercritical fluid as a solvent. A precursor of silica, tetraethyl orthosilicate was dissolved in supercritical CO 2 and attached to the base-activated carbon. The base-activated carbon in the sample coated with SiO 2 was removed by cal…
