In order to obtain tellurium with the least amount of impurities, the effects of three main factors were studied, namely current density, free concentration of caustic soda and initial concentration of tellurium. Five elements were chosen as the main impurities: Ag, Bi, Cd, Ni and Pb. A series of 17 experiments arranged in a CCF (central composite faced-centred) design has been carried out and the results were fitted using PLS (partial least squares) method. The effect of free caustic concentration was found to be the most important of the three parameters studied. Current density was also important, yielding the least amount of impurities at high current densities. Tellurium concentration had the smallest effect of the three parameters studied. From the model, current densities of 330-350 A/m2, tellurium concentrations of 90-120 g/l and free sodium hydroxide concentration of around 120 g/l are suggested as optimal conditions for obtaining the purest tellurium.

Volvox barberi flocks, forming near-optimal, two-dimensional, polydisperse lattice packings Ravi Nicholas Balasubramanian1 1Harriton High School, 600 North Ithan Avenue, Bryn Mawr, PA 19010, USA Volvox barberi is a multicellular green alga forming spherical colonies of 10000-50000 differentiated somatic and germ cells. Here, I show that these colonies actively self-organize over minutes into “flocks" that can contain more than 100 colonies moving and rotating collectively for hours. The colonies in flocks form two-dimensional, irregular, \active crystals", with lattice angles and colony diameters both following log-normal distributions. Comparison with a dynamical simulation of soft spheres with diameters matched to the Volvox samples, and a weak long-range attractive force, show that the Volvox flocks achieve optimal random close-packing. A dye tracer in the Volvox medium revealed large hydrodynamic vortices generated by colony and flock rotations, providing a likely source of the forces leading to flocking and optimal packing. INTRODUCTION behavior (see, e.g., [8, 9] and references therein) but their interactions are often dominated by viscous forces (e.g. fluid drag) unlike larger organisms which are The remarkable multicellular green alga Volvox barberi dominated by inertial forces.

The apparatus is consisting of a glass tube with pear-shaped funnel and two lateral measuring tubes 60 ml : 0.2 ml with glass stopcocks. There are two versions available: Product number 44285010 Spare parts Glass part No. 44287010 Metal tripod 2 Clamps No. 40870010 2 Platinum electrodes No. 44288010 Product number 44286010 Spare parts Glass part No. 44287010 Metal tripod 2 Clamps No. 40870010 2 Carbon electrodes No. 44289010 Experimental setup and test procedure Attach the voltameter with two clamps to the support. Insert the carbon or platinum electrodes into the measuring tubes. The stoppers have to be firmly in position in order to avoid leakage of liquid. For safety reasons place the apparatus into a glass tray. Pour in the electrolyte through the funnel while stopcocks are both open to let the air escape. Close the stopcocks as soon as the electrolyte has reached the level of stopcock bores. Connect the electrodes and the pole terminals at the tripod by means of two short connecting cables. Connect a DC voltage source and supply with electrical energy. The required direct voltage is about 10 V to 20 V at max.

  • And Development Could Be Examined in Detail. Prior to Darden's Work
    CELLULAR DiFPERLENTIA TION IN VOLVOX* BY RICHARD C. STARR DEPARTMENT OF BOTANY, INDIANA UNIVERSITY, BLOOMINGTON Communicated by R. E. Cleland, January 29, 1968 MIicroorganiisms have become important research materials in the study of differentiation at all levels of organization from the molecular to the cellular, but there remains a wealth of species whose potential has not as yet been realized due to problems of isolation, cultivation, or manipulation of the various phases of the life cycle. In this latter group the green alga Volvox has for many years been recognized as having aspects of organization and development that would make it a prime species for investigation of differentiation at the cellular level. The Volvox individual is a spheroid in which the biflagellate cells are arranged in a single peripheral layer. Two types of cells are always present: somatic cells which characteristically make up the bulk of the organism; and reproductive cells which occur in small numbers and which may be differentiated as gonidia, i.e., asexual cells capable of reproducing new individuals without fertilization, or sexual cells capable of becoming eggs, or of forming packets of sperm cells. It is of special interest that many of the species of Volvox were delimited by such early workers as Powers' and Shaw2 using as taxonomic criteria the type and degree of differentiation, and the time at which such differentiation occurred during the development of the young individuals. The pioneering work by Darden3 on Volvox aureus showed the possibility of studying the control of the reproductive cells in cultured material where growth and development could be examined in detail.

  • Electrolysis of Water - Wikipedia 1 of 15
    Electrolysis of water - Wikipedia 1 of 15 Electrolysis of water Electrolysis of water is the decomposition of water into oxygen and hydrogen gas due to the passage of an electric current. This technique can be used to make hydrogen gas, a main component of hydrogen fuel, and breathable oxygen gas, or can mix the two into oxyhydrogen, which is also usable as fuel, though more volatile and dangerous. It is also called water splitting. It ideally requires a potential difference of 1.23 volts to split water.

  • We Would Like to Thank WSGC and Dr. William Farrow for Making This Project Possible 2015 WSGC Elijah High-Altitude Balloon Paylo
    2015 WSGC Elijah High-Altitude Balloon Payload Project Final Report September 14, 2015 Ben Jensen1, Nate Klassen2, Woodrow Walker1, Scott Frazier3, Kai Swanson1, Taylor Davitz1 1Milwaukee School of Engineering, 2University of Wisconsin-Whitewater, 3University of Wisconsin- Milwaukee Abstract The purpose of this report is to discuss the research, development, and findings of several experiments performed on a high-altitude balloon payload platform. The team decided of the following five experiments to be performed during the flight: Oxygen Generation, Internal Heating, Speed of Sound Properties, Ozone Levels, and a new payload structure concept. The entire team was required to research and develop new skills to effectively design our experiments, including: Arduino programming, 3-D modeling/printing, soldering, launch equipment handling, and construction techniques. While the launch was successful, we did fall short of our overall goal in terms of data acquisition. The internship proved to be a rewarding introductory experience to real-world engineering. The project help us learn how to implement the entirety of the engineering process, using each person’s strengths to achieve an objective. Introduction The goal for the internship team was to research, design, and execute experiments aboard a high- altitude balloon platform. The team would collect and analyze data from each experiment. There were several constraints for the project, including budget, weight, and size. The team was given full control over what we wanted to research, and decided five upon concepts: Oxygen Generation, Internal Heating, Speed of Sound Properties, Ozone Levels, and a new payload structure concept. Oxygen Generation As the altitude increases, we see a corresponding decrease in air pressure.
