Tungsten Monocarbide

Abstract This paper presents a method of tungsten surface carbidization using a plasma-beam setup to assess the effect of temperature on the formation of tungsten carbides. Methane was used as a plasma-forming gas. The working gas pressure in the chamber was (1.3–1.4)10−1 Pa. Experiments on the formation of carbides were carried out at different temperatures (700-1000°C). It was recorded that at a temperature of 700°C, crystallization centers of a carbon film appear on the sample surface. With an increase in the irradiation temperature to 800°C and 900°C, the surface of the samples is covered with a continuous carbon film. As a result of the experimental work carried out, it was found that the formation of tungsten semicarbide occurs at 900°C. A further increase in temperature leads to the formation of tungsten monocarbide.

Abstract We investigated the influence of temperature on the capping efficiency to interrupt the release of nutrients from lake sediments. A 3-cm layer of Zeolite (ZL) or activated carbon (AC) was placed on the contaminated sediments, and nonwoven fabric mats (NWFM) were placed on top of these capping materials. Laboratory incubation experiments were performed under three different temperatures, namely 4, 15, and 30 °C. Under the uncapped condition at 30 °C, dissolved oxygen (DO) was depleted after 30 days, while at 4 °C and 15 °C, DO was present until the end of this experiment. DO concentration in overlying water was more dependent on the temperature than capping condition. ZL/NWFM effectively blocked the release of N from the sediments, and the capping efficiencies of ZL/NWFM for NH4-N at 4, 15, and 30 °C were 98%, 96%, and 94%, respectively. For the interruption of P release, both ZL/NWFM and AC/NWFM were not effective at 4 and 15 °C. At 30 °C, however, AC/NWFM was effective, and its capping efficiencies at 30 °C for PO4-P and T-P were 74.0% and 79.9%, respectively. In summary, nutrient release from sediments was accelerated at higher temperatures, and the effect of capping was significant at high temperature.

AbstractSpecies of the genusPnigalioSchrank are ectoparasitoids on several pest insects. Most species are polyphagous parasitoids of lepidopteran and dipteran leafminers. Despite their potential economic importance, information on intraspecific phenotypic variability is insufficient.Pnigalio soemius(Walker) was reared at five different temperatures (10, 15, 20, 25, 30°C) on mature larvae of one of its natural hosts,Cosmopterix pulchrimellaChambers (Lepidoptera: Cosmopterigidae), to investigate the influence of temperature on size, colour and other morphological traits, and to measure the range of variation of several characters. Thermal developmental reaction norms, which represent the effect of temperature during growth and development on the value of some adult traits, were produced. The results confirmed the influence of temperature on numerous characters and that these characters had a larger range of variation than realized previously in the construction of taxonomic keys to species. In particular, the number and position of the costulae on the propodeum and colour of the gaster were affected by rearing temperature.

The aim of the present study was to evaluate the relationships between environmental temperatures and life-history traits of whitefly Bemisia tabaci on cassava in the Northern part of Vietnam. The influence of temperature on the biological characteristics of whitefly B. tabaci fed on cassava was evaluated at 20ºC, 25ºC, 27.5ºC, and 30ºC using individual insect rearing methodology. Results of the study showed that the development time from egg to adult of B. tabaci was influenced by temperatures. The data indicated that under different temperatures (20ºC, 25ºC, 27.5ºC, and 30ºC), the life cycle of B. tabaci were 41.46, 28.64, 24.29, and 20.25 days, respectively. The determination of lower developmental threshold and degree days for whitefly development were 11.2ºC and 344.8 degree-days. There were 14.31 whitefly generations within 1 year on cassava suggesting this plant is a suitable host plant for the development and reproduction of B. tabaci. Female longevity ranged from 4.92 to 10.23 days. The fecundity ranged from 49.3 to 74.0 eggs/female. The mortality rate reached its highest rate of 36.27% at 30ºC. Our results suggested that B. tabaci had high reproduction rates and demonstrated their positive fitness traits on cassava in a wide range of temperatures, being a potential important pest of cassava cultivars.

The study was carried out to determine the effect of three different temperatures (5, 15 and 25?C) on in vitro pollen germination and pollen tube growth of five sour cherry cultivars: ?Heimanns Konservenweichsel?, ?Kelleriis 14?, ?Oblacinska?, ?Rexelle? and ?Sumadinka?. Pollen germination a % agar % Temperature significantly affected pollen germination. High germination rates (50-70%) were obtained at both 15?C and 25?C. Satisfactory germination rates (42-51%) were also obtained at 5?C in some cultivars (?Rexelle?, ?Sumadinka? and ?Heimanns Konservenweichsel?). The influence of temperature on the pollen tube growth was more prominent. The length of pollen tubes was three to six times higher at 15?C and 25?C in comparison with 5?C. This has led to the conclusion that the temperature of 5?C, although it could be adequate for pollen germination, is not high enough for optimal pollen tube growth. was determined by germinating pollen grains in culture medium containing 0.7agar-and 15sucrose.

The effect of temperature on biofilm formation and denitrification activity was evaluated. Assays were made in a lab-scale submerged filter for the denitrification of polluted groundwater, with and without a previous inoculation. The inoculation was carried out with a selected strain of Pseudomonas mandelii. Different temperatures were tested: 5, 10, 20 and 30 °C. Biofilm observations were made, and monitoring of the denitrification capacity of the system was maintained during the experiment. Our results showed that both colonisation of the support material of the filter and biofilm maturity have a dependency with temperature, with an optimum temperature of 20 °C if the system was previously inoculated with the Pseudomonas mandelii strain. For a correct achievement of the denitrification process, a previous inoculation of the system is essential. Although the development of a biofilm from the natural microbiota present in the groundwater is possible, it is not capable to adequately denitrify polluted groundwater. In terms of the correct achievement of the denitrification process, temperature affects the operation of the system at cold environments, although the use of Pseudomonas mandelii strain A103 allows denitrification at 10–30 °C with very good results (above 90% removal), affecting only to the time needed for the stabilisation of the system.

Atomic Form Factor

Temperature affects both elastic and inelastic scattering of electrons in a crystal. The Debye-Waller factor, B, describes the influence of temperature on the elastic scattering of electrons, whereas the imaginary part of the (complex) atomic form factor, fc = fr + ifi, describes the influence of temperature on the inelastic scattering of electrons (i.e. absorption). In HRTEM simulations, two possible ways to include absorption are: (i) an approximate method in which absorption is described by a phenomenological constant, μ, i.e. fi; - μfr, with the real part of the atomic form factor, fr, obtained from Hartree-Fock calculations, (ii) a more accurate method in which the absorptive components, fi of the atomic form factor are explicitly calculated. In this contribution, the inclusion of both the Debye-Waller factor and absorption on HRTEM images of a (Oll)-oriented GaAs crystal are presented (using the EMS software.Fig. 1 shows the the amplitudes and phases of the dominant 111 beams as a function of the specimen thickness, t, for the cases when μ = 0 (i.e. no absorption, solid line) and μ = 0.1 (with absorption, dashed line).

The Relationship

The respiratory rates of three species of planktonic copepods, Acartia clausi, Centropages hamatus and Temora longicornis, were measured at four different temperatures.The relationship between respiratory rate and temperature was found to be similar to that previously found for Calanus, although the slope of the curves differed in the different species.The observations on Centropages at 13 and 170 C. can be divided into two groups and it is suggested that the differences are due to the use of copepods from two different generations.The relationship between the respiratory rates and lengths of Acartia and Centropages agreed very well with that previously found for other species. That for Temora was rather different: the difference is probably due to the distinct difference in the shape of the body of Temora from those of the other species.The application of these measurements to estimates of the food requirements of the copepods is discussed.

AbstractAnisakidae, marine nematodes, are underrecognized fish-borne zoonotic parasites. Studies on factors that could trigger parasites to actively migrate out of the fish are very limited. The objective of this study was to assess the impact of different environmental conditions (temperature, CO2 and O2) on larval motility (in situ movement) and mobility (migration) in vitro. Larvae were collected by candling or enzymatic digestion from infected fish, identified morphologically and confirmed molecularly. Individual larvae were transferred to a semi-solid Phosphate Buffered Saline agar, and subjected to different temperatures (6 ℃, 12 ℃, 22 ℃, 37 ℃) at air conditions. Moreover, different combinations of CO2 and O2 with N2 as filler were tested, at both 6 °C and 12 °C. Video recordings of larvae were translated into scores for larval motility and mobility. Results showed that temperature had significant influence on larval movements, with the highest motility and mobility observed at 22 ℃ for Anisakis spp. larvae and 37 ℃ for Pseudoterranova spp. larvae. During the first 10 min, the median migration of Anisakis spp. larvae was 10 cm at 22 ℃, and the median migration of Pseudoterranova spp. larvae was 3 cm at 37 ℃. Larval mobility was not significantly different under the different CO2 or O2 conditions at 6 °C and 12 ℃. It was concluded that temperature significantly facilitated larval movement with the optimum temperature being different for Anisakis spp. and Pseudoterranova spp., while CO2 and O2 did not on the short term. This should be further validated in parasite-infected/spiked fish fillets.

Dried fig is susceptible to infection by Aspergillus flavus, the major producer of the carcinogenic mycotoxins. This fruit may be contaminated by the fungus throughout the entire chain production, especially during natural sun-drying, post-harvest, industrial processing, storage, and fruit retailing. Correct management of such critical stages is necessary to prevent mould growth and mycotoxin accumulation, with temperature being one of the main factors associated with these problems. The effect of different temperatures (5, 16, 25, 30, and 37 °C) related to dried-fig processing on growth, one of the regulatory genes of aflatoxin pathway (aflR) and mycotoxin production by A. flavus, was assessed. Firstly, growth and aflatoxin production of 11 A. flavus strains were checked before selecting two strains (M30 and M144) for in-depth studies. Findings showed that there were enormous differences in aflatoxin amounts and related-gene expression between the two selected strains. Based on the results, mild temperatures, and changes in temperature during drying and storage of dried figs should be avoided. Drying should be conducted at temperatures >30 °C and close to 37 °C, while industry processing, storage, and retailing of dried figs are advisable to perform at refrigeration temperatures (<10 °C) to avoid mycotoxin production.
