Mossbauer study of La1-xCaxMn1-y (57)FeyO(3) with x = 0, 0.25; y=0.01

Temperature dependent Mossbauer measurements are done on the samples of La1- xCaxMn1-y (FeyO3)-Fe-57 with x=0 and 0.25, and y=0.01. With decreasing temperature, the specimen with x=0.25 shows a paramagnetic to ferromagnetic transition around 175 K. In the specimen x=0.0, the temperature dependence of both the center shift (delta) and the recoilless fraction (f) can be fitted very well with the Debye theory with a theta(D)=320+/-50 K. But for the specimens with x=0.25, f and delta show distinct deviations from the Debye behavior in the temperature range in which the resistivity shows a sharp decrease. Dips observed in both the f and delta around the transition temperature suggest that the Jahn-Teller distortion observed in these systems is dynamic in nature.

Activation of Lattice Oxygen of TiO2 by Pd2+ Ion: Correlation of Low-Temperature CO and Hydrocarbon Oxidation with Structure of Ti1-xPdxO2-x (x=0.01-0.03)

Lattice oxygen of TiO2 is activated by the substitution of Pd ion in its lattice. Ti1-xPdxO2-x (x = 0.01-0.03) have been synthesized by solution combustion method crystallizing in anatase TiO2 structure. Pd is in +2 oxidation state and Ti is in +4 oxidation state in the catalyst. Pd is more ionic in TiO2 lattice compared to Pd in PdO. Oxygen storage capacity defined by ``amount of oxygen that is used reversibly to oxidize CO'' is as high as 5100 mu mol/g of Ti0.97Pd0.03O1.97. Oxygen is extracted by CO to CO2 in absence of feed oxygen even at room temperature which is more than 20 times compared to pure TiO2. Rate of CO oxidation is 2.75 mu mol g(-1) s(-1) at 60 degrees C over Ti0.97Pd0.03O1.97 and C2H2 gets oxidized to CO2 and H2O at room temperature. Catalyst is not poisoned on long time operation of the reactor. Such high catalytic activity is due to activated lattice oxygen created by the substitution of Pd ion as seen from first-principles density functional theory (DFT) calculations with 96 atom supercells of Ti32O64, Ti31Pd1O63, Ti30Pd2O62, and Ti29Pd3O61. The compounds crystallize in anatase TiO2 structure with Pd2+ ion in nearly square planar geometry and TiO6 octahedra are distorted by the creation of weakly bound oxygens. Structural analysis of Ti31Pd1O63 which is close to 3% Pd ion substituted TiO2 shows that oxygens associated with both Ti and Pd ions in the lattice show bond valence sum of 1.87, a low value characteristic of weak oxygen in the lattice compared to oxygens with valence 2 and above in the same lattice. Exact positions of activated oxygens have been identified in the lattice from DFT calculations.

Memory effect in SrRu(1-x)O3 (0.01 < x < 0.07)

SrRuO3 is widely known to be an itinerant ferromagnet with a T-C similar to 160 K. It is well known that glassy materials exhibit time dependent phenomena such as memory effect due to their generic slow dynamics. However, for the first time, we have observed memory effect in SrRu(1-x)O3 (0.01

Calidad bromatológica del ensilaje de hoja de plátano (Musàcea: variedad FHIA-01) con dos niveles de inclusión de levadura de torula (Candida utilis) más melaza

El presente estudio se realizó con el objetivo de determinar la calidad bromatológica (materia seca MS, proteína bruta PB, fibra neutro detergente FND), ácidos grasos volátiles AGV (ácido láctico, ácido acético, acido butírico) y pH del ensilaje de hoja de plátano (Musácea; variedad, FHIA-01), con dos niveles de inclusión de levadura de Torula (Candida utilis). El muestreo se realizó en la granja porcina y en los laboratorios de bromatología y microbiología de la Facultad de Ciencia Animal de la UNA. Los micro silos fueron conservados por 30 días. Los tratamientos evaluados fueron dos niveles de inclusión de levadura de Torula (Candida utilis al 0.5 y 1%). Los tratamientos se distribuyeron en un diseño completamente al azar (DCA) con tres repeticiones. El tratamiento uno (T1) consistió en hoja de plátano; el tratamiento dos (T2) en hoja de platano+melaza+0.5%levadura de Torula y el tratamiento tres (T3) en hoja de platano+melaza+1% levadura de Torula. Los resultados de la calidad bromatológica para MS por tratamiento fueron para T3:17.68%, T2: 17.22% y para T1: 16.46%. La PB alcanzó valores de: 14.08%, 13.50%, 13.12% para T3, T1 y T2, respectivamente. La FND presentó valores por tratamiento de T1: 67.80%, T3: 61.32% y T2: 56.39. Para los AGV, los resultados fueron para ácido láctico: T2 con 1.25%, T3 con 1.19% y T1 con 0.74%; para ácido acético T1 con 2.46%, T2 con 1.44% y T3 con 1.40; para ácido butírico no hubo presencia en ninguno de los tratamientos. Los resultados para el pH fueron para T1: 6.75%, para T3: 4.17% y para T2: 4.07. Con base en estos resultados, el T3 presentó mejor resultado en la calidad bromatológica y pH, superando al resto de los tratamientos, aunque obtuvo mejor resultado el T2 para el caso del ácido láctico. El uso de levaduras y melaza en el ensilaje mejora su calidad bromatológica.

Olympic Coast National Marine Sanctuary Habitat Mapping: Survey report and classification of side scan sonar data from surveys HMPR-114-2004-02 and HMPR-116-2005-01.

The Olympic Coast National Marine Sanctuary (OCNMS) continues to invest significant resources into seafloor mapping activities along Washington’s outer coast (Intelmann and Cochrane 2006; Intelmann et al. 2006; Intelmann 2006). Results from these annual mapping efforts offer a snapshot of current ground conditions, help to guide research and management activities, and provide a baseline for assessing the impacts of various threats to important habitat. During the months of August 2004 and May and July 2005, we used side scan sonar to image several regions of the sea floor in the northern OCNMS, and the data were mosaicked at 1-meter pixel resolution. Video from a towed camera sled, bathymetry data, sedimentary samples and side scan sonar mapping were integrated to describe geological and biological aspects of habitat. Polygon features were created and attributed with a hierarchical deep-water marine benthic classification scheme (Greene et al. 1999). For three small areas that were mapped with both side scan sonar and multibeam echosounder, we made a comparison of output from the classified images indicating little difference in results between the two methods. With these considerations, backscatter derived from multibeam bathymetry is currently a costefficient and safe method for seabed imaging in the shallow (<30 meters) rocky waters of OCNMS. The image quality is sufficient for classification purposes, the associated depths provide further descriptive value and risks to gear are minimized. In shallow waters (<30 meters) which do not have a high incidence of dangerous rock pinnacles, a towed multi-beam side scan sonar could provide a better option for obtaining seafloor imagery due to the high rate of acquisition speed and high image quality, however the high probability of losing or damaging such a costly system when deployed as a towed configuration in the extremely rugose nearshore zones within OCNMS is a financially risky proposition. The development of newer technologies such as intereferometric multibeam systems and bathymetric side scan systems could also provide great potential for mapping these nearshore rocky areas as they allow for high speed data acquisition, produce precisely geo-referenced side scan imagery to bathymetry, and do not experience the angular depth dependency associated with multibeam echosounders allowing larger range scales to be used in shallower water. As such, further investigation of these systems is needed to assess their efficiency and utility in these environments compared to traditional side scan sonar and multibeam bathymetry.
