Geochemistry, minerals, color, rare earth elements and d18O at DSDP Hole 92-504B

Investigations of borehole waters sampled in Hole 504B during Leg 92 revealed changes in major-ion composition similar to changes observed previously (during Leg 83). The uniformity of chloride concentrations with increasing depth suggests efficient downhole mixing processes along density gradients caused by large temperature gradients. Chemical and mineralogical studies of suspended drilling mud (bentonite) suggest that this material has undergone substantial alteration and that CaSO4 (anhydrite/gypsum) has precipitated in the deeper parts of the hole. Rare earth element studies suggest contributions of both the bentonites and the basalts to the REE distributions. Studies of the isotopic composition (87Sr/86Sr) of dissolved strontium indicate a strong contribution of basaltic nonradiogenic strontium, although differences between the Leg 83 and Leg 92 data indicate an influence of bentonite during Leg 92. The oxygen isotope composition of the water does not change appreciably downhole. This uniformity can be understood in terms of high water-rock ratios and suggests that the chemical changes observed are due either to alteration processes involving bentonites and basaltic material from the walls of the hole or to exchange with formation fluids from the surrounding basement, which may have altered in composition at relatively high water-rock ratios.

Effect of Size Reduction on Magnetic Ordering in Sm1-x Ca (x) MnO3 (x=0.35, 0.65 and 0.92) Manganites: Magnetic and EMR Studies

We have employed the highly sensitive electron magnetic resonance technique complimented by magnetization measurements to study the impact of size reduction on the magnetic ordering in nanosized Sm1-x Ca (x) MnO3 (x = 0.35, 0.65 and 0.92). In the bulk form, x = 0.35 sample shows a charge ordering transition at 235 K followed by a mixed magnetic phase, the sample with x = 0.65 exhibits charge order below 275 K and shows an antiferromagnetic insulator phase below 135 K while that with x = 0.92 has a ferromagnetic-cluster glass ground state. Thus, a comparative study of magnetic ground states of bulk and nanoparticles (diameter similar to 25 nm) enables us to investigate size-induced effects on different types of magnetic ordering. It is seen that in the bulk samples the temperature dependences of the EPR parameters are quite different from each other. This difference diminishes for the nanosamples where all the three samples show qualitatively similar behavior. The magnetization measurements corroborate this conclusion.

Estudio de observación de ciento doce líneas de arroz (Oryza sativa L.) VIOAL-92, bajo ecosistema de riego en la localidad de Malacatoya

Con el objetivo de evaluar 112 líneas de Arroz de porte semienano, procedentes en su mayoría de Colombia, Vivero IRRI (IIRON), Argentina, Cuba y Perú, y utilizando como testigos internacionales las variedades CICA-8 y ORYZICA-1 y como testigos locales las variedades ALTAM1RA-9, ALTAM1RA-10 y CICA-8 también considerada como testigo local, se llevó a cabo un estudio en la "Finca Venllano", ubicada en Malacatoya, municipio del departamento de Granada, bajo el agroecosistema de riego. A cada línea se le evalúo las características agronómicas (floración, altura, desgrane, senescencia, exerción, acame y aceptabilidad fenotípica) y los componentes del rendimiento ( long de panícula, número de granos por panícula, porcentaje de fertilidad, peso de 1000 granos, rendimiento y rendimiento industrial ( % de arroz integral, % de arroz pulido y % de arroz oro). Se seleccionaron 15 líneas por sus características agronómicas y su potencial de rendimiento, lo que da un 13% de selección del material evaluado. La línea de mejor rendimiento fue la 113 (ECIA 561 con 5980 Kg/ha y la de menor rendimiento fue la línea 30 (CT9508-48-1-1P-2PT) con 3195 Kg/ha. El material de mejor calidad industrial fue la línea 10 (CT8837-1-17-1P-4) con 58.5 % de Arroz Oro y la línea más baja fue la 41 (CT7B05-17-4A-M-4P) con 48.0 % de Arroz Oro.

Investigation of the spectroscopic properties of (Y0.92-xLa0.08Ndx)(2)O-3 transparent ceramics

The spectroscopic properties of (Y0.92-xLa0.08Ndx)(2)O-3 transparent ceramics were investigated. According to three intensity parameters (Omega(2),Omega(4),Omega(6)) fitted by the Judd-Ofelt theory, the spectroscopic quality parameter (X-Nd), branching ratio (beta(J,J')), and quantum efficiency (eta) of Nd3+ were determined. It was found that X-Nd of the host, owing to the additive La2O3, was decreased from 1.6 to 0.46; thus beta(J,11/2) was increased from 46% to 56.82%. A figure of merit of the specimens was discussed and compared with Nd:YAG transparent ceramic. (c) 2007 Optical Society of America.
