    Notes: Soy and wheat proteins as film ingredients are advantageous due to relative abundance, biodegradability, and their renewable nature. Research objectives were to evaluate effectiveness of gluten and cysteine addition in improving properties of soy protein-based films. Thickness, mechanical, and barrier properties were evaluated. Gluten addition and pH 3.0 lowered water vapor permeability and thickness. Mechanical properties were enhanced at pH 7.0 with cysteine addition. Cysteine increased tensile strength of some treatments due to increase in disulfide bond formation. Best compromise between barrier and mechanical properties was observed for the cysteine-added soy:gluten (4:1) film at pH 7.0. These films could find application as primary packaging for low moisture foods.

    Notes: Biodegradable films were prepared from rice bran, and their water vapor and oxygen permeabilities, mechanical properties and solubilities were studied. No differences in apparent water vapor permeability (WVPapp) were observed between rice bran films cast at pH 9.5 (RBfilm 9.5) and those cast at pH 3.0 (RBfilm 3.0). Rice bran films had higher WVPapp and oxygen permeability when compared to a polyvinylidene chloride film. RBfilm 3.0 had lower oxygen permeability compared to RBfilm 9.5. Puncture strength, tensile strength, breaking factor, and protein solubility of RBfilm 9.5 were higher than those of RBfilm 3.0. A positive correlation (r = 0.91) was observed between puncture strength and tensile strength of films.

    Formation of siderite-Mg-calcite-iron sulphide concretions in intertidal marsh and sandflat sediments, north Norfolk, England (1990)
    Oxford, UK : Blackwell Publishing Ltd
    Sedimentology 37 (1990), S. 0

    Topics: Geosciences
    Notes: Concretions cemented mainly by siderite, Mg-calcite and iron monosulphide are common in late Holocene marsh and sandflat sediments on parts of the north Norfolk coast. Field experiments have shown that the concretions are actively forming in reduced sediments in which sulphate-reducing bacteria are active. δ13C values ranging from −3 to −11·8% (mean −5·9%0) suggest that the carbonate in the concretions is derived partly from marine sources and partly from microbial degradation of organic matter. δ18O values ranged from −6·4% to + 0·8% (mean −1·0%) suggesting that carbonate precipitated in porewaters ranging from pure sea water to-sea water diluted with meteoric water. Chemical analysis of porewaters showed no evidence of significant sulphate depletion at the depth of concretion formation. Some concretions have formed around fragments of wood or metal, but others contain no apparent nucleus. In field experiments siderite, FeS and Mg-calcite were precipitated around several different nuclei within a period of six months. We suggest that siderite may form wherever the rate of iron reduction exceeds the rate of sulphate reduction, such that insufficient dissolved sulphide is available to precipitate all the available dissolved ferrous iron.

    Changes in carbon and oxygen isotope composition during limestone diagenesis (1980)

    Notes: The calcite fossils of the Derbyhaven Beds, Isle of Man, have δ13C values (+ 1·8 PDB) similar to modern, shallow-water marine skeletons, but the δ18O values (−6·1 PDB) are much lighter than modern skeletons. The light oxygen values indicate either re-equilibration with isotopically light water before cementation started, or Carboniferous sea water with δ18O of −6‰. Aragonite dissolution was followed by precipitation of zoned calcite cement. In this cement, up to six intracrystalline zones, recognized in stained thin sections, show isotopic variation. Carbon varies from + 3-8 to + 1-2‰. and oxygen from − 2-6 to − 12-4‰. with decreasing age of the cement. This trend is attributed to increasing temperature and to isotopic evolution of the pore waters during burial. The zoned calcite is sequentially followed by dolomite and kaolinite cements which continue the trend towards light isotopic values. This trend is continued with younger, fault-controlled dolomite, and is terminated by vein-filling calcite and dolomite. The younger calcite, interpreted as a near-surface precipitate from meteoric waters, is unrelated to the older sequence of carbonates and has distinctly different carbon isotope ratios: δ13C − 6-8‰.

    RNA and protein metabolism during adventitious root formation in stem cuttings of Phaseolus aureus (1985)

    Notes: Indole-3-butyric acid (IBA, 10−4M), spermine (7 × 10−5M) and vitamin D2 (6.3 × 10−5M), all of which enhance rooting in mung bean cuttings (Phaseolus aureus Roxb. cv. Berkin), influence RNA metabolism. Total and poly (A)+-RNA synthesis within the hypocotyl is inhibited by each of these chemicals within 24 h. These changes precede induced cell division and are therefore associated with the so-called inductive period of regeneration during which some cells in the hypocotyl undergo dedifferentiation. However, following subsequent transfer of cuttings to borate, which is an essential prerequisite for development of root primordia in these cuttings, RNA synthesis is enhanced by pretreatments with IBA, spermine or vitamin D2. Furthermore, IBA inhibits synthesis and turnover of protein within the hypocotyl.

    Effect of bacteria on the elemental composition of early diagenetic siderite: implications for palaeoenvironmental interpretations (1997)
    Oxford, UK : Blackwell Publishing Ltd
    Sedimentology 44 (1997), S. 0

    Topics: Geosciences
    Notes: Many ancient early diagenetic siderite concretions are thought to have been precipitated by microbially-mediated reactions, and their trace element chemistry has been used to infer palaeoenvironments of formation (e.g. marine versus freshwater). In this study, pure cultures of the microorganism Geobacter metallireducens were used to precipitate siderite in the laboratory at a range of temperatures (18–40°C). Magnesium and calcium, in three different ratios (3:1, as in seawater, 1:1, and 1:3 as in freshwater), or manganese were added to some cultures at each incubation temperature to study trace element incorporation. The siderite produced exhibited the rhombohedral crystal form typical of concretionary siderite. However, this microbial siderite did not simply retain the trace element chemistry of the water from which it precipitated, as is assumed in palaeoenvironmental interpretations. Instead, manganese and calcium incorporation were found to be inversely proportional to the rate of microbial activity, which itself is dependent upon the nutritional status of the microorganisms. Magnesium incorporation was found to be rate-independent, and at high Mg/Ca ratios, it caused inhibition of calcium incorporation. In short, the influence of microorganisms on the trace element composition of early diagenetic siderite must be taken into account in order to produce valid palaeoenvironmental interpretations.

    CEGB ASSESSMENT PROCEDURE FOR DEFECTS IN PLANT OPERATING IN THE CREEP RANGE (1987)

    Fatigue & fracture of engineering materials & structures 10 (1987), S. 0

    Notes: In recent years considerable progress has been made in research work addressing the behaviour of defects at elevated temperature. Developments have been made both in structural assessment techniques and in methods for analysing representative materials data. On the basis of these developments a procedure has been produced within the CEGB for the assessment of defects in plant operating in the creep range under loadings for which creep rather than creep-fatigue is the dominant failure mechanism. This paper describes the CEGB procedure. Calculations are required for three events: the time for overall structural failure by continuum damage mechanisms; the time for incubation prior to crack extension; and the time for subsequent growth to a maximum tolerable defect size. Methods are presented for calculating these times and for obtaining the materials data required to perform the calculations.

    EXAMPLE OF AN APPLICATION OF AN ASSESSMENT PROCEDURE FOR DEFECTS IN PLANT OPERATING IN THE CREEP RANGE (1987)

    Notes: A worked example is presented to illustrate the application of a CEGB procedure for the assessment of defects in plant that operates within the creep range. The example chosen is a large cylindrical pressure vessel with a fully circumferential crack for which experimental results are available. The example demonstrates that it is straightforward to perform the calculations required in the procedure for the time for structural failure by continuum damage mechanisms, the time for crack incubation and the time for crack growth. It is predicted that crack incubation in the pressure vessel occurs at about one-third of life with the remaining life being taken up by crack growth. The predictions are in close agreement with the experimentally observed incubation, growth and final failure times.

    A preliminary investigation into mining and smelting impacts on trace element concentrations in the soils and vegetation around Tharsis, SW Spain (2003)
    Mineralogical Society of Great Britain and Ireland
    Details
    Publication Date: 2003-04-01
    Description: Toxic trace elements present an environmental hazard in the vicinity of mining and smelting activities. However, the processes of transfer of these elements to groundwater and to plants are not always clear. Tharsis mine, in the Iberian pyrite belt (SW Spain), has been exploited since 2500 BC, with extensive smelting taking place from the 1850s until the 1920s. Sixty four soil (mainly topsoils) and vegetation samples were collected in February 2001 and analysed by ICP-AES for 23 elements. Concentrations are 6—6300 mg kg-1 As and 14—24800 mg kg-1 Pb in soils, and 0.20—9 mg kg-1 As and 2—195 mg kg-1 Pb in vegetation. Trace element concentrations decrease rapidly away from the mine, with As and Pb concentrations in the range 6—1850 mg kg—1 (median 22 mg kg—1) and 14—31 mg kg—1 (median 43 mg kg—1), respectively, 1 km away from the mine. These concentrations are low when compared to other well-studied mining and smelting areas (e.g. 600 mg kg—1 As at 8 km from Yellowknife smelter, Canada; 〉100 mg kg—1 Pb over 270 km2 around the Pb-Zn Port Pirie smelter, South Australia; mean of 1419 mg kg—1 Pb around Aberystwyth smelter, Wales, UK). The high metal content of the vegetation and the low soil pH (mean pH 4.93) indicate the potential for trace element mobility which could explain the relatively low concentration of metals in Tharsis topsoils and cause threats to plans to redevelop the Tharsis area as an orange plantation.
