Solubility products of Al(OH)3 were determined in various solutions of NH4+, Li+, Na+, K+, and Ca2+ ions. Increasing amounts of these hydroxides were added to the respective chloride solutions containing aluminum chloride. The solutions were aged for 3 months. Activities of the OH− ions were calculated from the pH values of the solutions. The total Al concentrations remaining in solutions were determined by Hsu's modified aluminon method. The Al3+ ion concentrations were computed using the hydrolysis equilibria of Aveston. The ion product, aAl3+(aOH−)3, was found to vary linearly with the [OH]/[Al] ratio. The solubility product of Al(OH)3 was obtained by extrapolating this ratio to 3. The pKsp values thus obtained were 30.55, 33.15, 30.75, 30.36, and 31.00 in NH4+, Li+, Na+, K+, and Ca2+ systems respectively. The anomalously low solubility product of Al(OH)3 in the Li+ system was attributed to the specific "lithium effect".

The soil solution is examined for compounds of very low solubility product which might exist in a state of saturation over a large area; some radioactive compounds are found to fill this requirement better than any others. It is postulated that these minerals are preferentially precipitated in the interstices of the near surface soil by the evaporation of the soil water caused by the passage of gaseous hydrocarbons escaping from their subsurface reservoir. Measurements of the rate of formaton of ions in the soil air over a producing structure are presented.

The sucrose (0.045%) is added in the cement paste, the consistency of Ca2+ and OH- reduce little, the AFt has high solubility product, thus the AFt exists as gel like product which covers the surface of the clinker particles, the sucrose acts as a retarder. When the dosage of the sucrose is 0.24%, the sucrose poisons the hydration of C2S and C3S markedly, so the consistency of Ca2+ and OH- reduce sharply, the AFt has low solubility product, the needle like AFt form a hydration product network and accelerates the setting process, C2S and C3S cannot yield enough C-S-H, the strength development is baffled. It was supposed that there are two dosage threshold values of sucrose on the hydration process, 0.01% is a retardation threshold value accelerating the formation of Aft, while 0.2% is an acceleration threshold value poisoning the hydration of C3S and C2S.

Methyl ester sulfonate (MES) performance as chemical flooding material for EOR was investigated by adding emulsifier ethyl glycol mono butyl ether (EGBE) and ethanol. MES had interfacial tension (IFT) value as low as 10-3 dyne/cm, but its disadvantage was low solubility in brine water. Repairing this nature, MES was modified by adding nonyl phenol ethoxylate (Tergitol, as secondary surfactant), EGBE and ethanol. The mixed surfactant was tested for IFT value, solubility, and thermal influence to IFT value in various concentrations. The result indicated a significant effect of emulsifier concentration to IFT value. The longer carbon chains, the easier micelle interaction was formed. The positive effects to solubility were caused by the polarity of long chain EGBE and the increase of micro emulsion stability by ethanol. The best formulas were 1% concentration surfactant in brine water consist of MES 40%, Tergitol 20%, ethanol 40% and 0.3% of MES 40%, Tergitol 20%, EGBE 40%. These formulas also had better solubility than MES alone, since they only form one phase. Heat treatment at 62.5 oC for 1 day caused lower IFT because of increasing interaction between emulsifier and micelle. Further heating resulted in a higher IFT as the emulsifier structure collapsed, which made interactions difficult to achieve. Keywords: EOR, interfacial tension, methyl ester sulfonate, non-ionic, surfactantAbstrakKinerja metil ester sulfonat (MES) sebagai bahan chemical flooding untuk EOR telah dilakukan dengan menambahkan pengemulsi etil glikol mono butil eter (EGBE) dan etanol. MES memiliki nilai tegangan permukaan (IFT) sebesar 10-3 dyne/cm, tetapi memiliki kelarutan yang rendah dalam air formasi. Untuk memperbaiki sifat ini, MES ditambahkan dengannonyl phenol ethoxylate (Tergitol) sebagai surfaktan kedua, EGBE dan etanol. Hasil formulasi surfaktan diuji nilai IFT, kelarutan dan pengaruh termal terhadap nilai IFT dalam berbagai tingkat konsentrasi. Hasil pengujian mengindikasikan adanya pengaruh konsentrasi pengemulsi yang besar terhadap nilai IFT. Rantai karbon yang lebih panjang berakibat semakin mudah interaksi micelle terjadi. Kelarutan yang semakin tinggi disebabkan polaritas dari rantai panjang EGBE dan meningkatnya stabilitas mikroemulsi oleh alkohol. Hasil formulasi terbaik didapatkan pada konsentrasi surfaktan 1% dengan MES 40%, Tergitol 20%, Alkohol 40% dan konsentrasi surfaktan 0,3% dengan MES 40%, Tergitol 20%, EGBE 40%. Formula ini memiliki kelarutan yang lebih baik daripada MES karena hanya membentuk 1 fase. Pengaruh pemanasan 62,5 oC selama 1 hari menyebabkan IFT semakin rendah karena meningkatnya interaksi antara pengemulsi dan micelle. Pemanasan yang berlebihan menyebabkan IFT naik karena rusaknya struktur pengemulsi sehingga interaksi sulit terjadi.Kata kunci: EOR, metil ester sulfonat, non-ionik, surfaktan, tegangan permukaan

Polycrystalline silicon, when highly doped, is commonly used in microelectronics applications such as gates and interconnects. The packing density of integrated circuits can be enhanced by fabricating multilevel polycrystalline silicon films separated by insulating SiO2 layers. It has been found that device performance and electrical properties are strongly affected by the interface morphology between polycrystalline silicon and SiO2. As a thermal oxide layer is grown, the poly silicon is consumed, and there is a volume expansion of the oxide relative to the atomic silicon. Roughness at the poly silicon/thermal oxide interface can be severely deleterious due to stresses induced by the volume change during oxidation. Further, grain orientations and grain boundaries may alter oxidation kinetics, which will also affect roughness, and thus stress.Three groups of polycrystalline silicon films were deposited by LPCVD after growing thermal oxide on p-type wafers. The films were doped with phosphorus or arsenic by three different methods.

In order to measure the concentration of arsenic atoms in nanometer regions of arsenic doped silicon, the HOLZ analysis is carried out underthe exact [011] zone axis observation. In previous papers, it is revealed that the position of two bright lines in the outer SOLZ structures on the[011] zone axis is little influenced by the crystal thickness and the background intensity caused by inelastic scattering electrons, but is sensitive to the concentration of As atoms substitutbnal for Siatomic site.As the result, it becomes possible to determine the concentration of electrically activated As atoms in silicon within an observed area by means of the simple fitting between experimental result and dynamical simulatioan. In the present work, in order to investigate the distribution of electrically activated As in silicon, the outer HOLZ analysis is applied using a nanometer sized probe of TEM equipped with a FEG.Czodiralsld-gown<100>orientated p-type Si wafers with a resistivity of 10 Ώ cm are used for the experiments.TheAs+ implantation is performed at a dose of 5.0X1015cm-2at 25keV.

TMEM165 was highlighted in 2012 as the first member of the Uncharacterized Protein Family 0016 (UPF0016) related to human glycosylation diseases. Defects in TMEM165 are associated with strong Golgi glycosylation abnormalities. Our previous work has shown that TMEM165 rapidly degrades with supraphysiological manganese supplementation. In this paper, we establish a functional link between TMEM165 and SPCA1, the Golgi Ca2+/Mn2+ P-type ATPase pump. A nearly complete loss of TMEM165 was observed in SPCA1-deficient Hap1 cells. We demonstrate that TMEM165 was constitutively degraded in lysosomes in the absence of SPCA1. Complementation studies showed that TMEM165 abundance was directly dependent on SPCA1's function and more specifically its capacity to pump Mn2+ from the cytosol into the Golgi lumen. Among SPCA1 mutants that differentially impair Mn2+ and Ca2+ transport, only the Q747A mutant that favors Mn2+ pumping rescues the abundance and Golgi subcellular localization of TMEM165. Interestingly, the overexpression of SERCA2b also rescues the expression of TMEM165. Finally, this paper highlights that TMEM165 expression is linked to the function of SPCA1.

Abstract P-type ATPases transport ions across biological membranes against concentration gradients and are essential for all cells. They use the energy from ATP hydrolysis to propel large intramolecular movements, which drive vectorial transport of ions. Tight coordination of the motions of the pump is required to couple the two spatially distant processes of ion binding and ATP hydrolysis. Here, we review our current understanding of the structural dynamics of P-type ATPases, focusing primarily on Ca2+ pumps. We integrate different types of information that report on structural dynamics, primarily time-resolved fluorescence experiments including single-molecule Förster resonance energy transfer and molecular dynamics simulations, and interpret them in the framework provided by the numerous crystal structures of sarco/endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+-ATPase. We discuss the challenges in characterizing the dynamics of membrane pumps, and the likely impact of new technologies on the field.
