Definition of the halogen bond (IUPAC Recommendations 2013)

This recommendation proposes a definition for the term ``halogen bond'', which designates a specific subset of the inter- and intramolecular interactions involving a halogen atom in a molecular entity.

Shaking table tests to investigate the influence of various factors on the liquefaction resistance of sands

This paper presents the shaking table studies to investigate the factors that influence the liquefaction resistance of sand. A uniaxial shaking table with a perspex model container was used for the model tests, and saturated sand beds were prepared using wet pluviation method. The models were subjected to horizontal base shaking, and the variation of pore water pressure was measured. Three series of tests varying the acceleration and frequency of base shaking and density of the soil were carried out on sand beds simulating free field condition. Liquefaction was visualized in some model tests, which was also established through pore water pressure ratios. Effective stress was calculated at the point of pore water pressure measurement, and the number of cycles required to liquefy the sand bed were estimated and matched with visual observations. It was observed that there was a gradual variation in pore water pressure with change in base acceleration at a given frequency of shaking. The variation in pore water pressure is not significant for the range of frequency used in the tests. The frequency of base shaking at which the sand starts to liquefy when the sand bed is subjected to any specific base acceleration depends on the density of sand, and it was observed that the sand does not liquefy at any other frequency less than this. A substantial improvement in liquefaction resistance of the sand was observed with the increase in soil density, inferring that soil densification is a simple technique that can be applied to increase the liquefaction resistance.

Unsteady Model of Drop Marangoni Migration in Microgravity

The experiments of drop Marangoni migration have been performed by the drop shift facility of short period of 4.5 s, and the drop accelerates gradually to an asymptotic velocity during the free fall. The unsteady and axisymmetric model is developed to study the drop migration for the case of moderate Reynolds number Re = O(1), and the results are compared with the experimental ones in the present paper. Both numerical and experimental results show that the migration velocity for moderate Reynolds number is several times smaller than that given by the linear YGB theory.

Efecto de la utilización de la gallinaza calcinada como suplemento de minerales en la alimentación de pollos de engorde

Con el objetivo de determinar el efecto de la gallinaza calcinada como fuente de minerales y su costo en la inclusión del alimento de pollos• de engorde. 800 pollos de un día de nacido fueron ubicados al azar en cuatro tratamientos. T 1 O. 0%, T 2, O. 5%, T 3 1 %, T4 2% de gallinaza calcinada. Las variables estudiadas fueron el Consumo Promedio de Alimento. Peso Vivo, Ganancia de Peso. Conversión Alimenticia. , Mortalidad y Rendimiento en la Canal. Los datos obtenidos para cada una de estas variables fueron analizadas a través de un diseño completamente al azar y se sometieron a prueba de Duncan. También se realizó un análisis económico de los costos de alimento para tratamiento de acuerdo al análisis realizado no se encontraron diferencias ((P>0.05) entre tratamiento para las variables estudiadas. Se analizaron las tasas de mortalidad en los diferentes tratamientos a través de una prueba de hipótesis para la diferencia entre las proporciones de dos proporciones no encontrando diferencias significativas (P>0.0.5) entre las tasas de mortalidad para los cuatro tratamientos en las diferentes semanas en lo que respecta al análisis económico el tratamiento T4 2% de gallinaza calcinada fue el que presento menores costos C$ 518 con respecto al T 1 ,T 2, T 3.

Role Of Convection Flow On The Pattern Formation In The Drying Process Of Colloidal Suspension

We study the macroscopic drying patterns of aqueous suspensions of colloidal silica spheres. It was found that convection strength can influence pattern formation. Uniformed films are obtained at weaker convection strength. In addition, we make clear that it is not reasonable to discuss individually the effect of temperature and humidity on the colloid self-assembly. The physical mechanism is that these factors have relationship with the evaporation rate, which can affect the convection strength.

Influence of shelf-break fronts on shellfish and fish stocks off Argentina [Contribution to ICES Annual Science Conference, Reykjavik, Iceland, 27 Sep- 04 Oct 1996]

The general circulation pattern in the western boundary of the SW Atlantic is dominated by the opposite flows of Malvinas (-Falkland)and Brazil Current. In the Confluence region both currents separate from the continental slope and flow offshore creating an area of strong contracts and complex dynamics. The shelf-break fronts off Argentina mark the transition between shelf waters of mixed origin and nutrient rich Malvinas waters. Two areas deserve special attention due to the steep gradients introduced by the outflow of important sources of continental waters: the Rio de la Plata and the Magellan Strait to the north and south of the study area. Characteristics of the front is the high primary and secondary production, and the presence of important invertebrate and fish stocks that concentrate along the front to feed or spawn. The area comprises nearly 30 o/o (333 million U$S in 1995)of all Argentine catches of fish and squid. Resources in the area, beyond the EEZ limits, support international fisheries mainly of Russia, Poland and Spain. (Document contains 15 pages & figs)

Thermal and electric conductivity of near-zero thermal expansion ZrW 2O8//ZrO2 composites

In this work, the microstructure, thermal and electric conductivity properties of near-zero thermal expansion ZrW2O8/ZrO2 and Al2O3 added ZrW2O8/ZrO2 composites were studied. Both the two composites exhibit very low thermal conductivity and the thermal conductivity decreases slightly as the temperature increases. The electric conductivity of the two composites increases with the increasing of the measurement temperature. The Al2O3 added ZrW2O8/ZrO2 composite has higher thermal and electric conductivity than ZrW2O8/ZrO2 composite. The most important factor which causes the difference of the thermal and electric conductivity of the composites is the porosity. (C) 2008 The Ceramic Society of Japan. All rights reserved.
