Hammond. Norris Award lecture, 1968 SUMMARY Developing new technological solutions, such as use of lightweight materials, less harmful fuels, controlled fuel combustion processes or more efficient exhaust gas after-treatment, are possible ways to reduce the environmental impact of machines. Both the reduction of wear and the friction control are key issues for decreasing of energy losses, improving efficiency and increasing of the life-span of an engine. Dialkyldithiophosphates (DTPs) of different metals have been extensively used as multifunctional additives in lubricants to control friction and reduce wear in mechanical systems. Among these DTP-compounds, zinc dialkyldithiophosphates (ZnDTPs) are the most common additives used for more than 60 years. These additives form protective films on steel surfaces and, thus, control friction and reduce wear.

Algorithms to determine coordination num- bers automatically are increasingly used for machine learning and automatic structural analysis. In this work, we introduce MaterialsCoord, a benchmark suite containing 56 experimentally-derived crystal structures (spanning elements, binaries, and ternary compounds) and their corresponding coordination environments as described in the research literature. We also describe CrystalNN, a novel algorithm for determining near neighbors. We compare CrystalNN against 7 existing near-neighbor algorithms on the MaterialsCoord benchmark, finding CrystalNN to perform similarly to several well-established algorithms. For each algorithm, we also assess computational demand and sensitivity towards small perturbations that mimic thermal motion. Finally, we 1 investigate the similarity between bonding algorithms when applied to the Materials Project database.

  • Boron Delivery Agents for Neutron Capture Therapy of Cancer Rolf F
    Barth et al. Cancer Commun (2018) 38:35 https://doi.org/10.1186/s40880-018-0299-7 Cancer Communications REVIEW Open Access Boron delivery agents for neutron capture therapy of cancer Rolf F. Barth1*, Peng Mi2 and Weilian Yang1,3 Abstract Boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) is a binary radiotherapeutic modality based on the nuclear capture and fssion reactions that occur when the stable isotope, boron-10, is irradiated with neutrons to produce high energy alpha particles. This review will focus on tumor-targeting boron delivery agents that are an essential component of this binary system. Two low molecular weight boron-containing drugs currently are being used clinically, boronopheny- lalanine (BPA) and sodium borocaptate (BSH). Although they are far from being ideal, their therapeutic efcacy has been demonstrated in patients with high grade gliomas, recurrent tumors of the head and neck region, and a much smaller number with cutaneous and extra-cutaneous melanomas. Because of their limitations, great efort has been expended over the past 40 years to develop new boron delivery agents that have more favorable biodistribution and uptake for clinical use. These include boron-containing porphyrins, amino acids, polyamines, nucleosides, peptides, monoclonal antibodies, liposomes, nanoparticles of various types, boron cluster compounds and co-polymers. Cur- rently, however, none of these have reached the stage where there is enough convincing data to warrant clinical biodistribution studies. Therefore, at present the best way to further improve the clinical efcacy of BNCT would be to optimize the dosing paradigms and delivery of BPA and BSH, either alone or in combination, with the hope that future research will identify new and better boron delivery agents for clinical use.

  • Dissolution Kinetics of Ulexite in Borax Pentahydrate Solutions Saturated with Carbon Dioxide
    1st International Syposium on Sustainable Development, June 9-10 2009, Sarajevo Dissolution Kinetics of Ulexite in Borax Pentahydrate Solutions Saturated with Carbon Dioxide Soner Ku şlu Atatürk University, Faculty of Engineering, Chemical Engineering Dept. Erzurum, Turkey [email protected] Feyza Çavu ş Atatürk University, Faculty of Engineering, Chemical Engineering Dept. Erzurum, Turkey [email protected] Sabri Çolak Atatürk University, Faculty of Engineering, Chemical Engineering Dept. Erzurum, Turkey [email protected] Abstract: The aim of the study was to investigate the dissolution kinetics of ulexite in borax pentahydrate solutions saturated with carbon dioxide in a mechanical agitation system. The effects of reaction temperature, stirring speed, CO 2 flow rate, solid/liquid ratio and particle size on the rate of dissolution of ulexite were examined. It was observed that increase in the reaction temperature and decrease in the solid/liquid ratio causes an increase the dissolution rate of ulexite. The dissolution extent is not affected by the stirring speed rate in experimental conditions. The activation energy was found to be 58.7 kJ/mol. This value indicates the dissolution rate of ulexite is a chemically controlled reaction. The rate expression associated with the dissolution rate of ulexite depending on the parameters chosen may be summarized as: 1-(1-X) 1/3 = 7.4x10 5. D -0.8 . (S/L) -0.6 .

    Boron fertilizers: use, mobility in soils and uptake by plants Fien Degryse Fertilizer Technology Research Centre Boron toxicity and deficiency in plants § Boron is an essential micronutrient required for several functions in plants, particularly for cell walls and for reproduction (flowering) § Uptake by plants is passive and unregulated, so toxicity can easily occur § B is relatively immobile in most plant species, so crops are adversely affected by even short-term deficiencies B toxicity B deficiency University of Adelaide www.acpfg.com.au www.extension.umn.edu www.agric.wa.gov.au B deficiency Boron toxicity and deficiency in plants § The window between deficiency and toxicity for B is very narrow, e.g. Gupta et al 1985, Can J Soil Sci 65: 381 § The optimal range in soil varies by crop, but is roughly 0.5-5 mg/kg hot water-extractable boron for most species University of Adelaide Boron toxicity and deficiency in plants § Species sensitive to B deficiency: legumes, Brassica, fruit trees Shorrocks 1997, Plant Soil 193: 121 § Species sensitive to B toxicity: – Several cereal species (barley, wheat) (due to low pectin content?) – Stone and pome fruits University of Adelaide Boron in soil § Total B concentrations in soil depend on parent material and the degree of weathering, with natural background concentrations usually ranging from 2 to 100 mg/kg (average ∼ 20 mg/kg; Power & Woods 1997) § Boron is never found as a single element and is usually found combined with oxygen as borates § Boron may also be tightly bound in silicate minerals to produce very insoluble minerals, e.g.
