Formation and characterization of tin oxide aerogel derived from sol-gel process based on tetra(n-butoxy)tin(IV)

Transparent and translucent SnO2 aerogels with high specific surface area (>300m(2)/g) have been prepared by sol-gel process using tetra(n-butoxy)tin(IV) as a starting compound, and supercritical drying technique for solvent extraction. Light scattering measurements reveal that the polymeric cluster size distribution in sol system is gradually broadened during sol-gel transition. SEM images show that the aerogels are made up of the cottonlike oxide agglomerates with a large number of Pores. TEM images show that these aerogels seem to be self-similar at different magnifications. Their pore size distribution is pretty wide ranging, from mesopore to macropore especially for that of translucent aerogel. (C) 2004 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Fresadora C.N.C. de tres ejes

Tras la aparición de Arduino en el año 2002, emergió un fuerte movimiento concienciado con las plataformas libres, tanto en software como en hardware. Este movimiento junto con la filosofía del hágalo usted mismo (Do It Yourself) hizo que surgieran un sin fin de proyectos de todas las índoles, desde proyectos simples, como robots cartesianos, hasta proyecto más serios, como puede ser una máquina de control numérico. Todo esto es posible ya que junto con Arduino, han surgido infinidad de complementos y sensores asociados, fáciles de conseguir, baratos y que hacen que casi cualquier proyecto sea fácil de llevar a cabo y además económicamente viable. Lo que el autor de este proyecto fin de grado quiere hacer llegar al lector, es que un proyecto tan abrumador como puede ser una máquina de control numérico, puede ser perfectamente factible gracias a las bondades de una placa de un precio ínfimo y el ecosistema generado en torno a él.

Aristóteles, «Poética» 1454a 24, y la tragedia del siglo IV

[ES] La cualidad de "semejantes", el requisito que Aristóteles señala han de poseer los personajes de la tragedia en «Poét.» 1454a 24, ha recibido fundamentalmente dos interpretaciones distintas. Una, la que supone que tal semejanza lo es con el hombre ordinario, está bien asentada dentro de la argumentación general de la «Poética»; la otra, que relaciona el concepto con el prototipo mítico, requiere más aclaraciones que la anterior si se pretende que pueda ser aristotélica. De ello nos ocupamos en el presente artículo, poniendo en relación la práctica contemporánea, la tragedia del siglo IV, con las opiniones de Aristóteles en la «Poética».

International legal instruments relevant to fisheries and fishing communities : a handbook. Theme IV. Environmental pollution

This handbook provides detailed information for a wide range of legal instruments relevant to fisheries and fishworkers. It covers 114 legal instruments, categorized into the following seven themes: Theme I. Human Rights, Food Security, Women and Development. Theme II. Environment and Sustainable Development. Theme III. Oceans and Fisheries Management. Theme IV. Environmental Pollution Theme V. Fishing Vessels and Safety at Sea Theme VI. Labour Theme VII. Trade The handbook also includes the working of the instruments (decision-making bodies, monitoring and implementation agencies, periodicity of meetings, rules for participation in meetings of the decision-making bodies and implementation agencies for States and non-governmental organizations), regional instrument and agencies. Apart from being a ready reckoner to the instruments, it highlights the important sections of relevance to fisheries or small-scale fisheries and fishworkers. The companion CD-ROM provides the full texts of the instruments in a searchable database. The handbook will be useful for fishworker and non-governmental organizations, and also for researchers and others interested in fisheries issues.

Study of the rocky intertidal communities of central and northern California: Years III and IV

The study objectives are to describe seasonal and successional variation in rocky intertidal community structure; determine the response of rocky intertidal communities to natural and human-induced disturbances and correlate these responses with successional, seasonal, and latitudinal variation; and correlate life history information and oil toxicity data with data from this and other relevant studies. The Year III and IV report is for the third (1987) and fourth (1988) years of a five-year field experimental study investigating two biological assemblages, the Mytilus assemblage and the Endocladia/Mastocarpus papillatus assemblage, that are being studied at six sites along the California coast. Volume I includes the report, Appendix A, and Appendix B. Volume II includes Appendix C. Volume III includes Appendix D. Volume IV includes Appendix E and Appendix F. Volume V includes Appendix G, Appendix H, and Appendix I.

Role of RNA polymerase IV in plant small RNA metabolism.

In addition to the three RNA polymerases (RNAP I-III) shared by all eukaryotic organisms, plant genomes encode a fourth RNAP (RNAP IV) that appears to be specialized in the production of siRNAs. Available data support a model in which dsRNAs are generated by RNAP IV and RNA-dependent RNAP 2 (RDR2) and processed by DICER (DCL) enzymes into 21- to 24-nt siRNAs, which are associated with different ARGONAUTE (AGO) proteins for transcriptional or posttranscriptional gene silencing. However, it is not yet clear what fraction of genomic siRNA production is RNAP IV-dependent, and to what extent these siRNAs are preferentially processed by certain DCL(s) or associated with specific AGOs for distinct downstream functions. To address these questions on a genome-wide scale, we sequenced approximately 335,000 siRNAs from wild-type and RNAP IV mutant Arabidopsis plants by using 454 technology. The results show that RNAP IV is required for the production of >90% of all siRNAs, which are faithfully produced from a discrete set of genomic loci. Comparisons of these siRNAs with those accumulated in rdr2 and dcl2 dcl3 dcl4 and those associated with AGO1 and AGO4 provide important information regarding the processing, channeling, and functions of plant siRNAs. We also describe a class of RNAP IV-independent siRNAs produced from endogenous single-stranded hairpin RNA precursors.

Reversed micellar solubilization extraction and separation of thorium(IV) from rare earth(III) by primary amine N1923 in ionic liquid

The extraction behavior of thorium(IV) sulfate by primary amine N1923 in imidazolium-based ionic liquid (IL) namely 1-octyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate ([C(8)mim]PF6) was systematically studied in this paper. Results showed that the extraction behavior was quite different from that using conventional solvent as diluent. A reversed micellar solubilization extraction mechanism was proposed for the extraction of thorium(IV) by N1923/[C(8)mim]PF6 via slope analysis method and polarized optical microscopy (POM)/transmission electron microscopy (TEM) observation. The salt-out agent, Na2SO4, was demonstrated to prompt this extraction mechanism.

Poly[[(pentaethylenehexamine)manganese(II)] [hepta-mu-selenido-tritin(IV)]]: a tin-selenium net with remarkable flexibility

The title compound, {[Mn(C10H28N6)][Sn3Se7]}(n), consists of anionic (infinity){[Sn3Se7](2-)} layers interspersed by [Mn(peha)](2+) complex cations ( peha is pentaethylenehexamine). Pseudo-cubic (Sn3Se4) cluster units within each layer are held together to form a 6(3) net with a hole size of 8.74 x 13.87 angstrom. Weak N-H center dot center dot center dot Se interactions between the host inorganic frameworks and metal complexes extend the components into a three-dimensional network. The incorporation of metal complexes into the flexible anion layer dictates the distortion of the holes.

Extraction kinetics of cerium(IV) from sulfuric acid medium by the primary amine N1923 using a constant interfacial area cell with laminar flow

BACKGROUND: Thermodynamic studies on Ce(IV) extraction with primary amine N1923 demonstrate that primary amine N1923 is an excellent extractant for separation of Ce(IV) from Re(III). In order to clarify the mechanism of extraction and to optimize the parameters in practical extraction systems used in the rare earth industry, the extraction kinetics was investigated using a constant interfacial area cell with laminar flow in the present work.RESULTS: The data indicate that the rate constant (k(ao).) becomes constant when stirring speed exceeds 250 rpm. The apparent forward extraction rate is calculated to be 10(-1.70). The activation energy (E.) was calculated to be 20.5 kJ/mol from the slope of log kao against 1000/T. The minimum bulk concentration of the extractant necessary to saturate the interface (C-min) is lower than 10(-5) mol L-1.CONCLUSION: Studies of interfacial tension and the effects of stirring rate and specific interfacial area on the extraction rate show that the extraction rate is kinetically controlled, and a mass transfer model has been proposed. The rate equation has been obtained as: -d[Ce(IV)]/dt = 10(-1.70)[Ce(IV)] [(RNH3)(2)SO4](1.376). The rate-controlling step has been evaluated from analysis of the experimental results.
