In a transmission microscopy study of iron and dilute iron base alloys, it was determined that it is possible to preserve specimens for extended periods of time. Our specimens were prepunched from 5 to 8 mil sheet to microscope size and annealed for several hours at 700°C. They were then thinned in a glacial acetic-12 percent perchloric acid solution using 10 volts and 20 milliamperes, at a temperature of 8 to 14°C.It was noted that by the use of a cold stage, the same specimen can be observed for periods up to one week without excess contamination. When removal of the specimen from the column becomes necessary, it was observed that a specimen may be kept for later observation in 1,2 dichloroethene or methanol for periods in excess of two weeks.

Abstract This simple method of centrifugal analysis for total protein in human breast milk is based on the change in the wavelength of the absorbance maximum of Coomassie Brilliant Blue G-250 when the dye is bound to protein. Within-run and between-day CVs were 3.8% and 4.8%, respectively. Compared with a micro-Kjeldahl method for determination of total nitrogen, the coefficient of correlation was 0.99.

The presence of organic pollutants, which cannot be eliminated by conventional processes of primary and secondary treatment, can be problematic. Photocatalytic processes offer an efficient breakdown of organic pollutants into non-toxic compounds such as CO2 and H2O. This paper proposes the use of the titanium dioxide embedded in palygorskite as a photoactive material in the degradation of cationic dye, Coomassie Brilliant Blue. The system was irradiated using UV light for a maximum time of 120 minutes. The concentration of the dye used was 1.0x10-4 mol L-1 in 0.5 g L-1 of the photoactive material. The kinetics of the system was monitored by UV-Vis spectrophotometry. In 120 minutes of radiation, the process of photocatalysis reduced the initial concentration of the Coomassie Brilliant Blue dye in half.
