Medium-Grade Mylonites
2009
The temperature range for the formation of this group of mylonites is approximately 500 to 650 °C. In medium-grade mylonites quartz is usually fully recrystallised, mainly by subgrain rotation, and has grown to a polygonal crystalloblastic fabric of strain free grains with an average grain size exceeding about 50 micrometers.
Low-Grade Mylonites
2009
The temperature range for these mylonites is thought to be roughly between 250 and 500 °C. There is a gradual transition between cataclasites and low-grade mylonites. Whereas many feldspar porphyroclasts in low-grade mylonites still show fracturing by cataclasis, the quartz is usually deformed by crystal-plastic processes as shown by its change in shape and by undulose extinction. At increasing temperature bulging recrystallisation starts to manifest itself along the lobate contacts and eventually recrystallisation by subgrain rotation takes over (Chapter 10).
Characterization of a new member of the sea urchin Paracentrotus lividus hsp70 gene family and its expression
1992
We have sequenced a second gene of the hsp70 family derived from a genomic clone of the sea urchin, Paracentrotus lividus. The structure of this gene, named hsp70IV gene, is interrupted by one intron and differs from the previously analyzed sea urchin hsp70II gene, which contains several introns. Two open reading frames of hsp70IV gene encode a predicted protein of 639 amino acids with an M(r) of 69,672. The 5' flanking region of the gene contains a putative TATA element, three heat-shock elements made up of some arrays of the 5-bp units, NGAAN and NTTCN (N = A,C,G or T), a canonic consensus sequence for binding of the regulatory activating transcription factor (ATF), and a purine box. The …
The SuperK-Gd Project
2018
The SuperK-Gd project is the proposed and approved upgrade of the Super-Kamiokande detector in order to enable it to efficiently detect thermal neutrons. The project consists in dissolving a Gd salt into SK at a concentration of 0.2%.
Stability of Flow with Viscous Dissipation in a Horizontal Porous Layer with an Open Boundary Having a Prescribed Temperature Gradient
2010
Published version of an article in the journal: Transport in Porous Media. The original publication is available at www.springerlink.com, http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/s11242-010-9588-6 A buoyancy-induced stationary flow with viscous dissipation in a horizontal porous layer is investigated. The lower boundary surface is impermeable and subject to a uniform heat flux. The upper open boundary has a prescribed, linearly varying, temperature distribution. The buoyancy-induced basic velocity profile is parallel and non-uniform. The linear stability of this basic solution is analysed numerically by solving the disturbance equations for oblique rolls arbitrarily oriented with respect to the basic velo…
Investigation of diffusion and electromigration of hydrogen in palladium and PdAg alloy
1999
Abstract Diffusion and electromigration of hydrogen in PdH 0.1 , Pd 77 Ag 23 H 0.1 and Pd 50 Ag 50 H 0.1 alloy were measured by means of resistivity method. It is known that hydrogen migrates towards the cathode within the temperature range of 300–473 K in the PdH 0.1 and Pd 77 Ag 23 H 0.1 system. In Pd 50 Ag 50 H 0.1 , hydrogen migrates towards the cathode below 400 K, but towards the anode at higher temperatures. Its effective valency increases together with temperature. At the same time it satisfies the linear dependence on inverse specific resistance ρ : Z eff = Z i +( k / ρ ). The constants Z i and k have the following values: (1.05±0.01) and −(3.81±0.04)×10 −8 Ω m for hydrogen in PdH …
Physical properties of (1−x)Ba0.95Pb0.05TiO3+xCo2O3 (x=0, 0.1, 0.3, 0.5, 1.0, 2.0wt%) ceramics
2015
The paper reports studies of the (1−x)Ba0.95Pb0.05TiO3 – xCo2O3 (x≤0.02) ceramics. Results of X-ray powder diffraction, dielectric, magnetic and IR measurements, as well as ab initio simulations are presented. The Co-doping induces small decrease of the (c/a) tetragonality of the perovskite lattice and leads to the gradual shift of the ferroelectric transition temperature from 398 K for x=0 down to 357 K for x=0.02. The conductivity activation energies are in the range 0.8–0.9 eV in agreement with the calculations. The high-temperature conductivity can be ascribed by the migration of oxygen vacancies introduced to compensate the charge deficiency due to Co3+ valence at the B-site of the per…
Understanding the trend in the Curie temperatures ofCo2-based Heusler compounds:Ab initiocalculations
2007
The Curie temperatures for the Heusler compounds Co{sub 2}TiAl, Co{sub 2}VGa, Co{sub 2}VSn, Co{sub 2}CrGa, Co{sub 2}CrAl, Co{sub 2}MnAl, Co{sub 2}MnSn, Co{sub 2}MnSi, and Co{sub 2}FeSi are determined ab initio from the electronic structure obtained with the local-density functional approximation and/or the generalized gradient approximation. Frozen spin spirals are used to model the excited states needed to evaluate the spherical approximation for the Curie temperature. The spherical approximation is found to describe the experimental Curie temperatures very well which, for the compounds selected, extend over the range from 95 to 1100 K; as a function of the valence electron count, they sho…
Slow magnetic relaxation and water oxidation activity of dinuclear CoIICoIII and unique triangular CoIICoIICoIII mixed-valence complexes
2020
Construction of efficient multifunctional materials is one of the greatest challenges of our time. We herein report the magnetic and catalytic characterization of dinuclear [CoIIICoII(HL1)2(EtOH)(H2O)]Cl·2H2O (1) and trinuclear [CoIIICoII2(HL2)2(L2)Cl2]·3H2O (2) mixed valence complexes. Relevant structural features of the complexes have been mentioned to correlate with their magnetic and catalytic properties. Unique structural features, especially in terms of significant distortions around the CoII centre(s), prompted us to test both spin–orbit coupling (SOC) and zero field splitting (ZFS) methodologies for the systems. The positive sign of D values has been established from X-band EPR spec…
Priming with a Combination of Proangiogenic Growth Factors Enhances Wound Healing in Streptozotocin-Induced Diabetes in Mice
2010
<i>Background:</i> Numerous proangiogenic growth factors have been shown to improve impaired wound healing. This study evaluated the effects of subcutaneous pretreatment with a combination of proangiogenic growth factors on wound closure, mechanical properties, vessel density, and morphology. <i>Methods:</i> Thirty-six Balb/c mice with streptozotocin-induced diabetes were divided into 3 groups. A mixture of VEGF (35.0 µg), bFGF (2.5 µg), and PDGF (3.5 µg) was administered subcutaneously 3, 5, and 7 days prior to wounding in the first group, whereas the second group received three doses of 3.5 µg PDGF. Wound sizes were assessed daily and the repaired tissues were harv…
