Equilibrium phase relationships in the ZnO–In2O3 system were determined between 1100° and 1400°C using solidstate reaction techniques and X-ray diffractometry. In addition to ZnO and In2O3, nine homologous compounds, ZnkIn2Ok+3 (where k = 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 9, 11, 13, and 15), were observed. Electrical conductivity and diffuse reflectance of the k = 3, 4, 5, 7 and 11 members were measured before an...

Kreuz, Leo E. (The Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, Baltimore, Md.), and Allan H. Levy. Physical properties of chick interferon. J. Bacteriol. 89:462-469. 1965.-The sedimentation coefficient, diffusion coefficient, and molecular weight of chick-embryo interferon were determined by zone centrifugation and equilibrium sedimentation in cesium chloride density gradients, and by chromato...

2 Mechanical engineer, USAMBRL. 3 Major, Army Medical Specialist Corps, USAMBRL. ROOM-TEMPERATURE-VULCANIZING (RTV) silicone rubber is a versatile material and easy to handle. The ingredients from which it is formed are thick liquids that vulcanize at room temperature within a short period of time after the catalyst is added. Depending upon the relative amounts of solid and foam ingredients, th...

The objective of the present study was the evaluation of the effectiveness of supercritical carbon dioxide (SC-CO2) as a nonthermal technology for the pasteurization of fresh-cut coconut, as an example of ready-to-eat and minimally processed food. First, the inactivation kinetics of microbiota on coconut were determined using SC-CO2 treatments (pressures at 8 and 12 MPa, temperatures from 24 to...

Corn residues (cobs, leaves and stalks) are abundantly available renewable materials that can be used as an energy source in gasification and combustion systems. Proper understanding of the physical properties of these materials is necessary for their use in thermochemical conversion processes. The physical properties (moisture content, particle size, bulk density and porosity) of corn cobs, le...

The physical properties exerted by dietary fibre are individual to the age and aiiatomy of the fruit or vegetable eaten. The physical properties will be determined by the chemistry of the constituent polysaccharides and lignins, In the plant these rnacromolecules arc systematically intermeshed for anatomical and physiological function. This intimate admixture is lost during digestion but the ma...

     Due to the environmental problems caused by the accumulation of significant amounts of waste from peanut cultivation, it seems necessary to provide a solution for the reuse of this organic waste. Therefore, this experiment was conducted to investigate the possibility of using compost of peanut shells in potting Begonia rex. This research was based on randomized complete block desi...
