The article discusses the effect of fluids on the properties of rocks. It is known that surface active environments, including gas, can significantly change the mechanical characteristics of solids. To establish the dependence of the effect of methane on the strength characteristics of rocks, the results of full-scale and laboratory studies are considered. The experiments were carried out on samples of outburst sandstone formation m3, taken at a depth of 915 m. Analysis of research results allowed to establish the effect of changes in gas saturation of rocks on their mechanical properties before and after degassing and partial discharge of experimental areas after they have been worked by lavas along m3 formation. It has been established that the reason for the increase in drillability and strength of sandstones was their degassing, and not a change in the stress state of the environment. This led to a change in the deformation properties of rocks in gas-saturated and degassed states.

ABSTRACTTi-48A1 specimens were coated with Al-21Ti-23Cr film at 200 W, 0.8 Pa and 573 K by RF magnetron sputtering. The oxidation behavior of the coated specimens was investigated through isothermal and cyclic oxidation tests, and the tensile deformation properties of the coated specimens were also investigated before and after oxidation. The isothermal and cyclic oxidation curves showed that the Al-21Ti-23Cr film was very effective in decreasing the oxidation rate of Ti-48A1. This excellent oxidation resistance is attributable to the formation of a protective Al2O3 layer on the surface of the Al-21Ti-23Cr film. It was found from the results of the tensile test that the protective Al2O3 layer on the surface of the Al-21Ti-23Cr film enabled the Ti-48A1 to maintain its tensile properties in an oxidizing environment.

Insufficient compactness of rockfill materials may potentially cause excessive deformation of a concrete face rockfill dam (CFRD), thus resulting in cracking of the face slab and leakage of the dam body, thereby requiring reinforcement treatment. To date, there are no effective measures in strengthening rockfill materials. In this study, self-compacting mortar (SCM) was applied to the Shibaozhai CFRD in Gansu Province, China, to test the effectiveness of grouting reinforcement. Simultaneously, an indoor triaxial shear test was conducted to investigate the changes in the mechanical properties of rockfill materials before and after the grouting reinforcement. The on-site test results showed that the rockfill reached the desired porosity after grouting and grouting reinforcement enhanced the cementation degree of rockfill materials while maintaining uninterrupted drainage capacity, which met the requirements of rockfill grouting for the face rockfill dam. The results of the triaxial shear test indicated that the cohesive force of the rockfill materials rose by 3.95 times and the modulus increased by 7.24 times after grouting reinforcement,significantly enhancing the mechanical and deformation properties of the rockfill. An increase in the content of coarse particles was shown to enhance the stability of cementitious structures, which leads to a better skeleton effect and thereby raises the effectiveness of the grouting reinforcement. The rockfill materials also exhibited strain-softening characteristics following the grouting reinforcement. The research showed that grouting reinforcement technology is suitable for managing the deformation of high CFRDs or reinforcing ill rockfill dams.

The high-temperature deformation behavior of a SiC whisker-reinforced, yttria-stabilized, tetragonal zirconia polycrystalline composite containing 20 vol % SiC whiskers (SiC/Y-TZP) has been investigated. Tensile tests were performed in vacuum at temperatures from 1450 °C to 1650 °C and at strain rates from 10−3 to 10−5 s−1. The material exhibits useful high-temperature engineering properties (e.g., ∼100 MPa and 16% elongation at T = 1550 °C and at a strain rate of ∼10−4 s−1). The stress exponent was determined to be n ≍ 2. Scanning electron microscopy was used to characterize the grain size and morphology of the composites, both before and after deformation. The grain size in the composite was initially fine, but coarsened at the test temperatures; both dynamic and static grain growth were observed. The morphology of ceramic reinforcements appears to affect strongly the plastic deformation properties of Y-TZP. A comparison is made between the properties of monolithic Y-TZP, 20 wt. % Al2O3 particulate-reinforced Y-TZP (Al2O3/Y-TZP), and SiC/Y-TZP composites.

The object of the research is the forecast of seismic resistance when strengthening the soil foundations of structures. The purpose of the work is to numerically estimate the total increment of seismic intensity during artificial transformation and strengthening of foundation soils based on the results of geomechanical modeling. The study is based on classical mathematical methods for modeling soil foundations in a flat nonlinear setting. A new approach to determining the total increment of seismic intensity is presented, based on determining the ratio of the values of subsidence of the foundations of buildings and structures before and after soil strengthening. The paper presents the results of predicting changes in seismic resistance for real objects, obtained from the data of engineering and geological surveys and numerical computer models. It was found that due to the transformation of soil foundations, seismic resistance can decrease by more than 0.5 points. This technique can be used both to adjust the scoring for individual objects and to clarify the boundaries of seismic zones on OCP maps.

Tool materials used in ultramicrotomy are glass, developed by Latta and Hartmann (1) and diamond, introduced by Fernandez-Moran (2). While diamonds produce more good sections per knife edge than glass, they are expensive; require careful mounting and handling; and are time consuming to clean before and after usage, purchase from vendors (3-6 months waiting time), and regrind. Glass offers an easily accessible, inexpensive material ($0.04 per knife) with very high compressive strength (3) that can be employed in microtomy of metals (4) as well as biological materials. When the orthogonal machining process is being studied, glass offers additional advantages. Sections of metal or plastic can be dried down on the rake face, coated with Au-Pd, and examined directly in the SEM with no additional handling (5). Figure 1 shows aluminum chips microtomed with a 75° glass knife at a cutting speed of 1 mm/sec with a depth of cut of 1000 Å lying on the rake face of the knife.

Phosgene still plays an important role as a toxic substance in the chemical industry. Thiess (1968) recently reported observations on numerous cases of phosgene poisoning. A serious difficulty in the clinical handling of phosgene poisoning cases is a relatively long latent period, up to 12 hours, with no obvious signs of severity. At about 12 hours heavy lung edema appears suddenly, however changes can be seen in routine X-rays taken after only a few hours' exposure (Diller et al., 1969). This study was undertaken to correlate these early changes seen by the roengenologist with morphological alterations in the lungs seen in the'light and electron microscopes.Forty-two adult male and female Beagle dogs were selected for these exposure experiments. Treated animals were exposed to 94.5-107-5 ppm phosgene for 10 min. in a 15 m3 chamber. Roentgenograms were made of the thorax of each animal before and after exposure, up to 24 hrs.

(+)-Scytalone [3,4-dihydro-3,6,8-trihydroxy-l-(2Hj-naphthalenone] and 1,8-di- hydroxynaphthalene (DHN) have been proposed as intermediates of melanin synthesis in the fungi Verticillium dahliae (1, 2, 3, 4) and Thielaviopsis basicola (4, 5). Scytalone is enzymatically dehydrated by V. dahliae to 1,3,8-trihydroxynaphthalene which is then reduced to (-)-vermelone [(-)-3,4- dihydro-3,8-dihydroxy-1(2H)-naphthalenone]. Vermelone is subsequently dehydrated to DHN which is enzymatically polymerized to melanin.Melanin formation in Curvularia sp., Alternaria sp., and Drechslera soro- kiniana was examined by light and electron-transmission microscopy. Wild-type isolates of each fungus were compared with albino mutants before and after treatment with 1 mM scytalone or 0.1 mM DHN in 50 mM potassium phosphate buffer, pH 7.0. Both chemicals were converted to dark pigments in the walls of hyphae and conidia of the albino mutants. The darkened cells were similar in appearance to corresponding cells of the wild types under the light microscope.

Freeze-etching electron microscopy is currently one of the best methods for studying molecular organization of biological materials. Its application, however, is still limited by our imprecise knowledge about the perturbations of the original organization which may occur during quenching and fracturing of the samples and during the replication of fractured surfaces. Although it is well known that the preservation of the molecular organization of biological materials is critically dependent on the rate of freezing of the samples, little information is presently available concerning the nature and the extent of freezing-rate dependent perturbations of the original organizations. In order to obtain this information, we have developed a method based on the comparison of x-ray diffraction patterns of samples before and after freezing, prior to fracturing and replication.Our experimental set-up is shown in Fig. 1. The sample to be quenched is placed on its holder which is then mounted on a small metal holder (O) fixed on a glass capillary (p), whose position is controlled by a micromanipulator.
