cal College who has received the title of Kui Bahadur from Government, and we are fully convinced that these gentlemen well deserve the distinctions conferred on them. Nevertheless, it strikes us as somewhat remarkable, that of all the professors attached to the College, only one (Dr. Fayrer) has received any mark of distinction from the Government. This remark applies not only to the medical o...

Twenty one jumping spider species from South Yunnan are reported, diagnosed, described and illustrated; 19 of them are described as new: Afraflacilla ballarini Cao & Li, sp. n. (♂), Agorius tortilis Cao & Li, sp. n. (♂♀), Bavia exilis Cao & Li, sp. n. (♂), Carrhotus kevinlii Cao & Li, sp. n. (♂♀), Carrhotus sarahcrewsae Cao & Li, sp. n. (♂), Chinattus wengnanensis Cao & Li, sp. n. (♂♀), Chinoph...

three granitoid bodies, shirkuh batholith, kaffe abad and ader bolandan are exposed in nw yazd, cutting across the naiband formation (upper triassic), and overlain by cretaceous formations. shirkuh batholith is most likely of jurassic age. it seems to be the first and the most significant episode of magmatism in studied area which occurred in middle jurassic (late cimmerian) time. on the other ...

Layered, binary thin-film oxides of NiO, MgO and CaO have been prepared and characterized using low energy electron diffraction, Auger electron spectroscopy, energy loss spectroscopy, ion scattering spectroscopy, and temperature programmed desorption using probe molecules. Epitaxial growth was observed for the NiO–MgO and CaO–NiO systems; however, superior wetting was found for NiO–MgO relative...

Two experiments were conducted to determine the effect of increasing dietary CaO on ruminal fermentation, diet digestibility, performance, and carcass characteristics of feedlot steers fed 60% dried distillers grains with solubles ( DDGS: ). In Exp. 1, 120 steers were allotted by weight (355 ± 7.9 kg) to 1 of 4 treatments containing 60% DDGS, 20% corn silage, 13.5 to 14.4% ground corn, 4% suppl...

Root perforation represents an undesirable complication that may lead to an unfavorable prognosis. The aims of this study were to characterize and to compare the presence of calcium oxide (CaO) on the chemical composition of materials used for root perforation therapy: gray and white mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) and Portland cement (PC), gray MTA+5%CaO and gray MTA+10%CaO. The last two mate...

The calcination reaction of limestone (CaCO3) to yield lime (CaO) is at the heart of many industrial applications as well as natural processes. In the recently emerged calcium-looping technology, CO2 capture is accomplished by the carbonation of CaO in a gas-solid reactor (carbonator). CaO is derived by the calcination of limestone in a calciner reactor under necessarily high CO2 partial pressu...

The objectives of this study were to determine the interaction of feeding dry (DDGS) or modified wet (MDGS) distillers grains with solubles (DGS) with or without supplemental CaO on in situ DM and NDF disappearance; ruminal pH, VFA, and methane concentration; and cellulase and xylanase activity. Fistulated steers (n = 8; average initial BW = 540 ± 250 kg) were used in a replicated 4 × 4 Latin s...

This paper describes the kinetic study of a number of gas-phase reactions involving neutral Ca-containing species, many of which are important for describing the chemistry of meteor-ablated calcium in the Earth's upper atmosphere. Ca atoms were produced thermally in the upstream section of a fast flow tube, and then converted to the molecular species CaO, CaO(2), CaO(3), CaCO(3) or Ca(OH)(2) by...

Experimental results are reported on the (Ca-looping) multicyclic CO2 capture of CaO and nanosilica/CaO composites derived from Ca(OH)2 and nanosilica/Ca(OH)2 dry mixtures subjected in-situ to linear and Constant Rate Thermal Analysis (CRTA) preheating programs in either air or air/CO2 atmospheres. By means of CRTA preheating the rates of the reactions taking place during pretreatment are kept ...
