Laboratory scale tests were developed to study the high consumption of water in a tannery in Toluca City, Mexico, needed to decrease the biological oxygen demand (BOD) in the wastewater. Biological oxygen demand is generally reduced by reducing the organic material with sodium hypochlorite. However, Cr(VI) is formed i…

We describe lithography-free fabrication of sub-micron surface features on quartz substrates by the reactive ion etching (RIE) in a CF4/Ar atmosphere. These submicron glass columns are well defined, have a high aspect ratio, with the underlying substrate being very flat. The geometry of the fabricated surface columns…

High nitrogen contents in solid solution as well as appropriate strengthening mechanisms in austenitic stainless steels can result in very high corrosion resistance. This is true in both air environment and in simulated human body fluids (corrosion fatigue). High cycle corrosion fatigue data are listed and compared wi…

We have made ultrasonic measurements of ${\mathrm{Pr}}_{1\ensuremath{-}x}{\mathrm{Ca}}_{x}{\mathrm{MnO}}_{3}$ $(x=0.35,$0.40,0.50) with the colossal magnetoresistance in order to investigate the lattice effects due to orbital and charge degrees of freedom in the systems. As a result, we observe three types of elastic…

We have developed a multisample film growth method on a temperature-gradient substrate holder to quickly optimize the film growth temperature in pulsed-laser deposition. A smooth temperature gradient is achieved, covering a range of temperatures from 200 to 830 °C. In a single growth run, the optimal growth temperatur…
