    Notes: Abstract The relationship between changes in soil nutrient characteristics and fynbos community boundaries was investigated near Cape Agulhas, South Africa. Soil characteristics relating to total nutrient content (pH, total N and total P, organic carbon, and various cations) were assessed at sites along three transects crossing the boundaries between five plant communities. Dynamics of available N and P in soils of three communities were studied in the field over one year, using ion-exchange resins. There was a wide range in the degree of change in soil nutrient content across different community boundaries. The characteristics that varied most were pH, total N, Ca and total P. Differences in available nutrients among soils indicated that the communities in this landscape were associated with a mosaic of N and P availability. It is proposed that spatial variation in soil nutrient availability rather than total soil nutrient contents may be important in explaining landscape-level species distributions and community composition in nutrient-poor mediterranean-climate ecosystems.

    Notes: Abstract Zones of nutrient enrichment beneath shrubs, the so called 'fertile islands', are the result of a range of interacting physical and biotic concentrating mechanisms. These concentrating mechanisms lead to specific spatial patterns of soil properties across a landscape and it has been suggested that disruption of the normal patterns into more aggregated 'fertile islands' might be a useful index of desertification in semi-arid regions. The objective of this paper was to determine whether 'fertile islands' are as characteristic a feature of succulent deserts as they are of shrub dominated deserts. Results indicate that, even in a community dominated by succulent species fertile islands develop under extremely arid conditions and that the degree of development is dependent on plant dynamics. Long-lived species showed greater concentration effects. However, the patterns of nutrient accretion in islands are very different to shrub invaded grasslands in North America. In particular nitrogen accretion dominated the 'fertile islands' in Namaqualand, and we suggest that these islands are more ephemeral than carbon and phosphorus dominated islands reported for other systems. These more dynamic islands are a consequence of rapid community dynamics since the Namaqualand region is characterised by many short-lived perennials which turnover generations very rapidly in response to environmental conditions. Using the development of 'fertile islands' to assess desertification as applied elsewhere might be inappropriate in Namaqualand because of the different patterns of community dynamics underlying the formation and characteristics of these islands.

    Notes: Stahlbleche wurden mittles Gleichstrom-Magnetron-Sputtern mit Titannitrid beschichtet. Durch Variation des Stickstoffdurchflusses konnten Schichten mit unterschiedlicher chemischer Zusammensetzung erhalten werden. Die Schichten wurden mittels Gimmentladungsspektroskopie und einer naßchemischen Methode quantitativ analysiert. Für die naßchemische Analyse wurden die Schichten vom Substrat getrennt, aufgeschlossen und nachfolgend die Elemente Titan mittels Atomabsorptionsspektroskopie und Stickstoff nach Kjeldahl bestimmt. Die Analysenergebnisse zeigen signifikante Unterschiede zwischen den beiden Verfahren, die durch die unterschiedlichen verwendeten Standards verursacht werden. So ergibt die GDOS-Analyse im Vergleich zur naßchemischen Analyse für unterstöchiometrische TiNx-Schichten (x 〈 1) zu niedrige Stickstoffgehalte und für etwa stöchiometrische Schichten (x ≈ 1) zu hohe. Aufgrund der Standards kann geschlossen werden, daß die naßchemische Analyse mit einem geringeren systematischen Fehler behaftet ist. Sie ist aber in der Handhabbarkeit der GDOS-Analyse weit unterlegen und eignet sich damit besser für die Kalibration von speziellen Proben, die nachfolgend bei der GDOS-Analyse als Standard eingesetzt werden können.

    Description / Table of Contents: Surface engineering of light weight materials with ion- and plasma-assisted methodsIncreasing applications of light weight materials are expected in the future. Pursuing this trend surface engineering of these materials - especially ion- and plasma-assisted methods - swill be of increasing interest to enhance their wear and corrosion resistance. In a research co-operation some promising methods were examined on different aluminium and titanium alloys to assess their potential to increase the surface properties. Among these were magnetron sputtering of chromium nitride, ion beam assisted deposition of Cr/CrN and Al/A2O3 layers, ion implantation and ion beam assisted nitriding. Compared to the steel substrates the assessment of the mechanical properties such as the critical load of the scratch test of the coated light weight materials is different. Furthermore, it could be shown that both spherical section and glow discharge optical spectroscopy are useful methods to characterize the near-surface zone influenced by ion implantation.
    Notes: Es ist zu erwarten, daß die Anwendungsbreite von Leichtmetall-legierungen in Zukunft noch steigen wird. Mit diesem Trend werden auch oberflächentechnische Methoden - insbesondere ionen- und plasmaunterstützte Verfahren - gefragt sein, um den Verschleiß- und Korrosionswiderstand der Oberflächen zu verbessern. Im Rahmen eines Verbundprojektes wurden verschiedene aussichtsreiche Verfahren untersucht, um ihr Potential zur Verbesserung der Oberflächeneigenschaften von Aluminium- und Titanlegierungen einschätzen zu können. Hierunter befanden sich das Magnetronsputtern von Chromnitrid, die ionenstrahluntersützte Abscheidung von Cr/CrN- und Al/A2O3Schichten, die Ionenimplantation und das Ionenstrahlnitrieren. Im Vergleich mit beschichteten Stahlsubstraten ergeben sich Unterschiede bei der Einschätzung wichtiger mechanischer Eigenschaften, wie der im Ritztest ermittelten kritischen Last. Weiterhin konnte gezeigt werden daß sowohl der Kalottenschliff als auch die Glimmentladungspektroskopie gut geeignet sind, die durch Ionenimplantation beeinflußte Randzone zu charakterisieren.

    Description / Table of Contents: Temperature of cutting tools by thin filmsDuring the cutting process, cutting tools are exposed to complex mechanical, thermal, dynamic and tribological loads. Especially in the case of dry machining the demands on cutting tools are very high. Dry machining becomes more and more interesting because of tightened up ecolaws and increased costs for the handling of coolants. Due to a renunciation on coolants the cutting tools need to be modified to the process of dry machining. Thereby modern plasma and ion based surface technologies can be used to deposit a thin film adopting the functions of coolants, e.g. cooling and lubricating.In this research project several coating types, e.g. titanium and chromium based coatings, where developed and characterized regarding their mechanical, tribological and thermal properties. For the research, four partners collaborated permuting all steps of surface and coatings design. Materials Science Institute (WW), Aachen University of Technology, performed the development of PVD coatings and the thermophysical characterization by thermal wave analysis. Surface modifications of uncoated and coated tools by ion beam assisted deposition were carried out at Stiftung Institut für Werkstofftechnik (IWT), Bremen. To determine the cutting properties of coated tools, practical tests were performed at Laboratory for Machine Tools and Production Engineering (WZL), Aachen University of Technology.
    Notes: Zerspanwerkzeuge sind während ihres Einsatzes einem komplexen und schwer zu erfassenden Beanspruchungskollektiv ausgesetzt. Dieses wird besonders durch die aus ökonomischen und ökologischen Gründen angestrebte Trockenzerspanung beeinflußt. Der vollständige Verzicht auf Kühlschmierstoffe bedeutet aus technologischer Sicht, daß Werkzeuge, Schneidstoffe und Zerspanoperationen auf die Bedingungen der Trockenzerspanung umgestellt werden müssen. Dabei bieten moderne ionen-und plasmagestütze Oberflächentechnologien insofern einen Lösungsansatz, daß durch Beschichtungen bzw. Oberflächenmodifikationen wichtige Aufgaben der Kühlschmiermittel durch den beschichteten Schneidstoff selbst übernommen werden können. Dies sind vor allem der Ersatz von Schmierung und Kühlung.Für den Bereich der Trockenzerspanung wurden im Rahmen eines Verbundvorhabens u.a Titanbasisschichten sowie Chrombasisschichten entwickelt und hinsichtlich der physikalischen Eigenschaften untersucht. Durch die enge Zusammenarbeit der beteiligten Forschungsstellen konnte das jeweils vorhandene Erfahrungspotential vollständig in die Schichtsystementwicklung einfließen. Diese umfaßte alle iterativen Schritte des Schichtmodifikation, begleitende Schichtanalytik bis hin zum Praxistest. So war beispielsweise das Lehr- und Forschungsgebiet Werkstoffwissenschaften der RWTH Aachen für die Schichtentwicklung sowie fü die thermophysikalische Charakterisierung der Schichten zuständig. Die Stiftung Institut für Werkstofftechnik, Bremen, führte eine Optimierung der Interfaces und der Hartstoffschichten mittels ionenstrahlgestützter Beschichtungsverfahren durch. So konnte das Substrat vor bzw. die Hartstoffschicht nach der Beschichtung an den Anwendungsfall angepaßt werden. Die Untersuchung hinsichtlich der Praxistauglichkeit der beschichteten Schneidstoffe erfolgte am Werkzeugmaschinenlabor der RWTH Aachen durch entsprechende Zerspanversuche.

    Notes: HSS-Zerspanwerkzeuge wurden mittels Magnetron-Sputtern mit TiN beschichtet unter Variation der Sputterparameter Druck, Leistung und Bias-Spannung. Untersucht wurde der Zusammenhang zwischen den grundlegenden Schichteigenschaften Eigenspannung, Härte und Morphologie und dem Verhalten gegen tribologische Beanspruchung mittels Modellverschleißversuchen und Zerspanversuchen von Mumetall. Sowohl die Schichtmorphologie als auch die Eigenspannungen wurden durch die Parameter-variation verändert, um optimale Beschichtungsbedingungen ableiten zu können. Die tribologischen Untersuchungen zeigen, daß die Beschichtungsparameter und die Schichtdicke den Verschleißwiderstand maßgeblich beeinflussen können. Dabei führen die Modellverschleiß- und Zerspanergebnisse zu qualitativ gleichen Aussagen, so daß eine aussagekräftige Simulation des Werkzeugverschleißes als Test für weitere modifizierte Schichten verwendet werden kann.

    Notes: Experimental gas-phase acidities are reported for a series of 4-substituted bicyclo [2.2.2] oct-1-yl carboxylic acids and for a limited number of the corresponding bicyclo [2.2.2] oct-2-enyl carboxylic acids. Similar acidities are also reported for additional 4-substituted benzoic acids, allowing a comparison of field and resonance effects between the three series. Ab initio molecular orbital calculations for these series of acids confirm the conclusion that the aromatic acids display direct field and resonance effects, whereas the acidities in the aliphatic series acids are largely determined by direct field effects.

    Notes: Dielectric techniques have been implemented to study aqueous colloidal suspensions. A four electrode cell was used in two configurations; the first, a sweep of frequencies using a sequence of standard single frequency null-balance measurements, and the second relying on the dielectric response to a Fourier synthesized pseudo random white noise (FSPN) with measurements performed using correlation techniques in the time domain. Single frequency measurements, which take on the order of 5-10 min per spectrum, were performed on polymer latex standards of varying size, latex concentration, and electrolyte concentration and were extended from 0.02 to over 500 kHz. It was found that the central relaxation frequency fc was inversely propotional to the square of the particle size, consistent with previous experimental results. Experiments were performed at different particle concentration and ionic strengths, and the magnitude and breadth of the dielectric dispersion was analyzed in terms of current theories. The distribution of relaxation times was found to be in general qualitative agreement with those predicted by some existing theories. The results indicate that a wide range of conditions exist in terms of latex concentration and ionic environment where the rapid and accurate measurement of polymer latex particle size and size distribution is feasible. FSPN measurements, which take on the order of seconds, were shown to be accurate over a moderate frequency range for model electrical network studies but were only partially successful for aqueous suspensions of latex because of high frequency limitations in the electronics. Experimental details and difficulties concerning the application of this technique are discussed.
