Small Weight Loss Brings Large Improvements in Diabetes

Viability of garlic seed is important for seed quality. Periode of seed storage Penyimpanan benih berkaitan dengan viabilitas benih. Viability testing measured after storage at 0 oC, 7 oC and room temperate. Moisture content decreased (40-45%) after 1 month in the storage under light condition, but the weight loss approximately at 1-8%, still lower than ASEAN rules (2009) that is not over than 10-15% for physical damage. Tawang Mangu variety showed higher for percentage of field emergence (83.33%) after was storages at 0 oC for one month and produced higher bulb (11 bulbs), but at the room temperature showed the lower for percentage of field emergence (56.94%) and produced 2-3 bulbs. All the treatment (7oC and room temperature) produced small size of bulbs in weight (1-2 g), height (1.5-1.7 cm) and width (1.5-1.6 cm). Three of the temperature condition was produced single bulb called “bawang lanang”, it suggested causing the land unfertilizer. Garlic was not suitable for medium land and high temperature such as Bogor.Keywords: diameter, height, male garlic, small, weight

Silica Reduction

The relationships among weight loss, gas evolution, and other changes during sintering were investigated for silicon nitride powders synthesized by silica reduction and imide decomposition. Small weight losses were detected for all powders at low temperatures (below 1400 °C), and large weight losses were found to occur for the silica-reduction powders at high temperatures (1400–1800 °C). Only CO was detected in the sampled gases during sintering, and CO evolution peaks were seen at around 900–1200 (broad), 1400, and 1600 °C. The main deposited material around the samples was SiO. The weight losses at low temperatures were thought to be caused by evaporation of residual binder or adsorbed substances. The main causes of the large weight losses at high temperatures were thought to be CO and SiO evolutions, and CO evolution at around 1600 °C probably originated from the liquid phase accompanied by α–Si3N4 to β–Si3N4 transformation.

ABSTRACTA process for the fabrication of SiC matrix composites has been developed which employs aliquid, highly branched, polycarbosilane (AHPCS). This polymer thermosets on heating at 200-400 °C (or at 100 °C with catalyst) and yields an amorphous SiC with low excess C and O content in 60-80% yield on pyrolysis to 1000 °C. Preforms consisting of C-coated Nicalon SiC fiber cloth, unidirectional Textron SiC SCS-6 fiber layups, or Mo boats packed with SiC whiskers, were infiltrated with the polymer, cured in an autoclave, and pyrolyzed to 1000 °C. Five to eight infiltration cycles gave net shape composites with final densities at 85-94 % of theoretical. The results of 4-point flexure tests on the as-prepared Nicalon composites indicate flexure strengths (aver. 378 MPa) that are comparable to or better than similarly reinforced CVI-SiC matrix composites. The whisker and SCS-6 composites showed a small weight loss (10-20%) on heating to 1500 °C in Ar and little or no weight change or obvious embrittlement in air at 1000 °C.

Small Weight Loss

Two-step carbonization was found on a polyimide film, Upilex, similar to that observed on another polyimide, Kapton: large weight loss up to about 22 wt. % and linear shrinkage along the film surface to 30% in a narrow temperature range from 500 to 650 °C, and an additional small weight loss and shrinkage in a wide range between 700 and 1000 °C. The yield of carbonization agreed roughly with that calculated by assuming the release of non-carbon atoms as simple species of CO, O2, and N2. A 25 μm Upilex film yielded a relatively high degree of graphitization after heat treatment at 3000 °C: a layered structure under SEM, high magnetoresistance, and a sharp 002 x-ray diffraction peak at a d-spacing of 0.336 nm. The degree of graphitization was lower than for a similar Kapton film, which is attributed to the lack of flatness in the Upilex molecule. A very much lower degree of graphitization was observed for 50 μm Upilex films. This difference is tentatively attributed to constraints that must have influenced the orientation of the Upilex molecules near the surface of the films as they were formed.

Lodgepole Pines

Fungus isolation attempts, made from samples taken at 2-ft intervals in the stems of 40 lodgepole pines (Pinus contorta Dougl.), gave 1362 cultures. Sample trees were located at two sites and averaged 82.5 and 63.9 years of age. In malt agar culture Tympanis hypopodia Nyl. and the Coryne sarcoides complex were slightly antagonistic to Stereum pini (Schleich. ex Fr.) Fr. Both microfungi caused small weight losses in pine wood blocks and, when inoculated in advance on test blocks, reduced the decay caused by S. pini. Retinocyclus abietis (Crouan) Groves & Wells caused no weight loss but increased the decay attributable to S. pini. Tympanis hypopodia and C. sarcoides complex were more or less restricted to the lower heartwood of the trees. There was some evidence of a succession of fungi in the trees.
