    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Selten-Metall-Vererzung der Brockman-Lagerstätten (Halls Creek Mobile Zone, NW Australien) sitzt in einer Fluorit-führenden, rhyolitischen vulkanoklastischen Einheit auf, die informell als der “Niob-Tuff” bezeichnet wird. Es handelt sich hier um ein vulkanoklastisches Tuff-Sediment; dieses ist die unterste Einheit einer Abfolge vor Trachyt bis Rhyolit-Laven, trachyandesitischen Subvulkaniten and vulkanoklastischen Einheiten der Brockman Vulkanite innerhalb der Halls Creek Gruppe, einer mächtigen frühproterozoischen vulkanosedimentdren Abfolge. Prüzisionsdatierungen des Niob Tuffs mit der SHRIMP Ionen-Mikrosonde ergeben ein Eruptionsalter von 1870 +-4 Millionen Jahren. Regionale geochronologische Zusammenhänge zeigen, daß der Niob Tuff etwa 15 Millionen Jahre vor einer größeren Orogenese, die das Gebiet betroffen hat, abgelagert wurde. Trotz Faltung, Bruchtektonik and niedriggradiger Metamorphose zeigen die Brockman-Vulkanite einen hervorragenden Erhaltungszustand primärer vulkanologischer Erscheinungen. Diese urnfassen auch Kissenlaven und KissenBreckzien, die eine vorwiegend subaquatische Ablagerung in ruhigem Wasser erkennen lassen. Die Art der Eruptionsprodukte and das Magmavolumen zeigen, daß die Trachytdominierten Vulkanite von einem kleinen Schildvulkan stammer, wahrscheinlich in einem Becken in einer Rift-Situation im seichten marinen Milieu. Die tektonische Situation war “intraplate”, aber unterscheidet sich von den meisten tertiären bis rezenten trachytischen Vulkan-Komplexen, die hauptsächlich subaerisch sind, auf einer relativ mächtigen kontinentalen Kruste aufsitzen, and keine post-eruptive orogene Entwicklung zeigen. Seltene-Metalle-Lagerstatten des Brockman-Typs rind durch die Erhaltung subaquatischer-Vulkanite unterhalb einer machtigen sedimentdren Abfolge gekennzeichnet; welters durch frühe Eruptionsprodukte, die an inkompatiblen Elementen angereichert sind, auf die dann weniger differenzierte Magmen folgten, und schließlich durch einen feinkörnigen Mineralbestand, der vor Umwandlungsprozessen betroffen war. Es besteht die Möglichkeit der Entdeckung analoger Lagerstätten, besonders in frühproterozoischen mobilen Gürteln und in tertidren “intraplate” Schildvulkan Provinzen.
    Notes: Summary Rare-metals mineralization of the Brockman deposit (Halls Creek Mobile Zone, NW Australia) is hosted in a fluorite-bearing, rhyolitic volcaniclastic unit informally termed the “Niobium Tuff”. The Tuff, more correctly described as a tuffaceous volcaniclastic deposit, is the lowermost unit of a sequence of trachyte-to-rhyolite lavas, trachyandesite subvolcanic rocks, and volcaniclastic units of the Brockman volcanics located within the Halls Creek Group, a thick, early Proterozoic volcano-sedimentary sequence. High precision SHRIMP ion-microprobe zircon dating of the Niobium Tuff gives an eruption age of 1870 ± 4 Ma. Regional geochronological constraints indicate the Niobium Tuff was deposited about 15 Ma before major orogenic activity affected the area. Despite folding, faulting and low-grade metamorphism, the Brockman volcanics show excellent preservation of primary volcanological features, including pillow-lavas and pillow-breccias, that suggest a dominantly subaqueous, below-wave-base emplacement environment. The style of eruption products and magma volume constraints suggest the trachyte-dominated volcanics were erupted from a small shield volcanic complex probably in a rift-related basin in a shallow-marine setting. The tectonic setting was intraplate but differs from most Tertiary to recent trachyte volcanic complexes which are largely subaerial, are built on relatively thick continental crust, and show no post-eruptive orogenic history. Brockman-style rare-metal deposits are characterized by preservation of subaqueous volcanics beneath a thick sedimentary sequence, eruption of early incompatible-element enriched products followed by less differentiated magmas, and fine-grained mineralogy influenced by alteration processes. Prospects exist for discovery of analogous deposits, particularly in early Proterozoic mobile belts and Tertiary intraplate shield volcanic provinces.

    Notes: Abstract Grain boundary sliding (GBS) has been hypothesized to act as the primary driving force for the nucleation and growth of grain boundary cavities in ceramics undergoing creep. In addition, GBS is often a major mode of deformation during high-temperature creep. This paper demonstrates the importance of GBS with mode II GBS measurements performed using a stereoimaging technique on a single-phase alumina tested under constant compressive stresses of 70 and 140 MPa at 1600 °C. Measurements were taken at constant time intervals during creep. The results support previous observations that GBS is stochastic and history independent. GBS displacements at given time intervals are shown to fit a Wiebull distribution. During steady-state creep, GBS displacements increased linearly with time at a constant sliding rate of ≈ 6.0 × 10−5 μm s−1 at 70 MPa and ≈ 1.3 × 10−4 μm s−1 at 140 MPa. Also, an average of 67% of the grain boundaries exhibited measurable sliding throughout the creep life of the 140 MPa test. Results of the GBS measurements are used to modify an existing creep model describing stochastic GBS. In part II of this paper [1], the GBS measurements reported are related to the associated creep cavitation measured in specimens tested under identical conditions.

    Notes: Abstract It has been theorized that stochastic grain boundary sliding (GBS) is the primary driving force for the nucleation, growth, and coalescence of cavities located on the grain boundaries of polycrystalline ceramics undergoing creep. This paper reports on the results of co-ordinated measurements of both GBS and creep cavitation during the creep of a single-phase alumina. Constant compressive stress creep experiments were performed at a temperature of 1600 °C, and stress levels of 70, 100, and 140 MPa. Small angle neutron scattering measurements (SANS) show that cavities nucleate continuously due to creep at all three stress levels, and that since negligible cavity growth was measured, creep cavitation appears to be ruled by a nucleation rather than a growth process. Also, at a constant creep temperature, the number and volume of cavities measured was observed to decrease with a decrease in the applied stress. GBS displacements reported in Part 1 of this paper [1] are related to the number of cavities nucleated per unit volume and shown to relate directly, thereby providing experimental evidence that GBS may act as the driving force for creep cavitation.

    Notes: Abstract Previous efforts to explore the compressive strength of ceramics as a function of confining pressure at high strain rates have been limited by the maximum hydrostatic pressure that could be achieved within the experimental apparatus. An alternate procedure, using an autofrettaged confinement ring, has been designed to achieve higher confining pressures. A 6.2 GPa stress pulse, of approximately 20 μs duration, was used to load a 99.5% pure cylindrical aluminium oxide specimen under a hydrostatic load of approximately 650 MPa. The specimen remained intact and showed no evidence of fracture under scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Transmission electron microscopy (TEM), however, showed extensive evidence of plastic flow; the microcracks that were observed were associated with dislocation arrays. Static and dynamic yield strengths as a function of strain rate are compared.

    Notes: Abstract The polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technique was used to detect a whey acidic protein (WAP) gene and transgene presence in mouse ova cultured to various stages of development after pronuclear microinjection at the one-cell stage. The PCR technique detected an endogenous 442 bp WAP DNA sequence in 78% of one-cell, 88% of two-cell and 94% of four-cell ova, and in 95% of morulae and 97% of blastocysts. The heterologous WAP-human protein C transgene was detected in 88% of one-cell, 88% of two-cell and 44% of four-cell ova, and in 40% of morulae and 29% of blastocysts. For comparison, the integration frequency for transgenic mouse production using the same DNA construct was 22%. After five days ofin vitro culture, embryos that were either developmentally arrested or fragmented were tested for the presence of the transgene. The injected construct was detected in 83% of arrested one-cell, 85% of arrested two-cell, and 85% of fragmented ova. In culture, only 28% of zygotes microinjected with DNA developed to the blastocyst stage compared to 74% of noninjected zygotes, while 63% of zygotes developed to the blastocyst stage after injection of buffer alone. Pronuclear injection of the transgene at concentrations of 1.5, 15 and 50 μg ml−1 resulted in 28, 11 and 9% development to blastocysts and 29, 86 and 88% transgene detection, respectively. Transgene detection was 85, 96 and 97% in degenerate embryos at the respective doses of DNA. These data show that pronuclear microinjection of the transgene is detrimental to subsequent embryonic development. Also, unintegrated copies of the transgene probably exist at least until the blastocyst stage, and thereafter are degraded to the extent that they can no longer be detected by PCR.

    Notes: A long-term study was conducted in rats to assess the contribution of the surface area of CoCrMo devices to carcinogenesis. Groups consisting of 104 rats each (52 male, 52 female) were either implanted with metal cylinders fixed on the left, lateral femur (groups 1-3) or injected with a suspension of metal microspheres in the dorsal subcutis (group 4). Group 1 (control) received solid Ti6Al4V cylinders [surface area to body weight (SA/BW) ratio measuring 1.35 times that of human total hip prosthesis (HTHP)]. Group 2 was implanted with solid CoCrMo (SA/BW ratio: identical to implants of group 1). Group 3 received sintered-porous CoCrMo devices (SA/BW ratio: 30 × HTHP). Group 4 was injected with a suspension of CoCrMO microspheres (SA/BW ratio: 135 × HTHP). Implant-associated tumors (IATs) were observed in 23, 14, 3, and 15 rats of groups 1, 2, 3, and 4, respectively. Within groups 1 and 2, 34 IATs were associated with loose implants, three with undetermined implant fixation status, and none with fixed implants. A significantly increased accumulation of chronic inflammatory tissues around loose rather than fixed implants suggested a foreign-body reaction as the primary mechanism of carcinogenesis. A secondary role in carcinogenesis was ascribed to the increased CoCrMo implant SA/BW ratios as indicated by a 14.6% IAT incidence in group 4 versus 3% in group 3. These results support the notion that early intervention in the removal of loose metal devices is warranted to mitigate against foreign body-induced carcinogenesis, at least in this animal model. © 1996 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
