This paper reports the development of a spectrochemical method for the determination of type 4f rare earths (except lanthanum and cerium) in amounts usually employed in the activation of calcium fluoride. The method converts the fluoride sample to a common matrix, calcium sulfate, thereby eliminating the possibility of errors in the subsequent arcing of the sample due to previous physical and chemical treatment. Since the “burn” is made in air and recorded in the so-called “metallurgical region,” no elaborate apparatus is needed for analysis.

A discussion of the many types of samples encountered in industrial hygiene studies, the techniques and instruments used for their collection, the methods used for their preliminary chemical treatment, and the spectrographic instrumentation and techniques employed for the quantitative determination of their trace metallic constituents is presented. In this paper emphasis has been placed on the need to use sharp, clean separation procedures, along with appropriate instrumentation, to meet the analytical objectives in this field, i.e., highly sensitive, precise determinations of minute amounts of chemical substances. The high utility of the emission spectrograph for the analysis of metallic elements has been illustrated with typical examples of analytical applications made in the author's laboratory.

<p>Este trabalho tem como objetivo produzir um fermentado alcoólico proveniente do suco de laranja <em>(Citrus sinensis), </em>segundo processo adaptado das metodologias já existentes para obtenção de outros fermentados de fruta. O processo produtivo do fermentado de laranja e as analises referentes ao mesmo foram conduzidos no Laboratório de Operações Unitárias e Fenômeno de Transporte do Centro de Ciências e Tecnologia Agroalimentar da Universidade de Campina Grande – Campus Pombal - Pb. Com relação às etapas da adição dos insumos na confecção do fermentado, as mesmas não foram feitas na ordem descrita pela maioria das literaturas que se trabalham com fermentados alcoólicos, onde a ordem seguida foi: Extração do mosto, Preparação do Mosto: Sulfitação, Inoculação do Microrganismo e Nutrientes, Determinação do °Brix, Chaptalização,<strong> </strong>Fermentação Alcoólica, Decantação e Trasfegas, Clarificação, Filtração e o Envase. Constata-se pelo presente trabalho que o fermentado de laranja, mostrou-se aceitável tanto em relação aos parametros físico-químicos analisados para o mesmo, quanto para as carcteristicas sensoriais, tal como o sabor, aroma e aparência. Reforça-se, portanto, a idéia de agregação de valor a uma matéria-prima consideravelmente nutricional, por meio da confecção de um produto inovador.</p><p align="center"><strong><em>Production of alcoholic fermented orange</em></strong></p><p><strong>Abstract</strong><strong>: </strong>This work aims to produce an alcoholic fermented from orange juice (Citrus sinensis), second process adapted from existing methodologies for obtaining other fermented fruit. The production process of fermented orange and the same related analyzes were conducted at the Unit Operations Laboratory and Phenomenon Transport Science Center and Agrifood Technology, University of Campina Grande - Campus Pombal. - Pb Regarding the steps to add inputs in the manufacture of fermented, they were not made in the order described by most of the literature that working with alcoholic fermentation, where the order was then: the must extraction, preparation of Mosto: Sulphitation, inoculation of the micro-organism and nutrients, determination of ° Brix , Chaptalisation, alcoholic fermentation, decantation, and Racking, clarification, filtration and Filling. It appears in this work that fermented orange, proved acceptable both for physical and chemical parameters analyzed for the same, as for the sensory carcteristicas, such as flavor, aroma and appearance. , Up reinforces therefore the value-added idea of a raw material considerably nutrition through the production of an innovative product.</p>

SynopsisA historical review of the physical and chemical data collected from the Suez Canal waters in the first 40 years (1867–1906) during and after its filling shows that it was the focus of interest of many explorers and scientists. From 27 successive observations (table) the waters were completely analysed seven times. The salinity (density) was measured along the canal on eight occasions, of which four were not previously known. The first observations along the Canal were made in May 1870 by the Admiralty Ship Blue Cross. Her results, together with the second set of observations (February 1872), were found in a small booklet printed in Alexandria (Tissot 1872). The data of two sections (Durand-Claye 1875a; Anonymous 1907) were found by the author as unpublished manuscripts and are revealed here for the first time.A comment on the determination of salinity of sea water by evaporation to dryness was found in a handwritten manuscript by Durand-Claye (1873). This comment was eliminated in the published text (Durand-Claye 1874), and is reproduced here for its interest to the history of chemical oceanography.The difficulties in making a comparative study of these old data are explored. It is suggested to start some sort of ‘practical historical oceanography’ by studying old hydrometers, thermometers and other oceanographic apparatus using modern equipments in order to reassess the data of old expeditions.

For many years the concept of quantitative diffraction contrast experiments might have consisted of the determination of dislocation Burgers vectors using a g.b = 0 criterion from several different 2-beam images. Since the advent of the personal computer revolution, the available computing power for performing image-processing and image-simulation calculations is enormous and ubiquitous. Several programs now exist to perform simulations of diffraction contrast images using various approximations. The most common approximations are the use of only 2-beams or a single systematic row to calculate the image contrast, or calculating the image using a column approximation. The increasing amount of literature showing comparisons of experimental and simulated images shows that it is possible to obtain very close agreement between the two images; although the choice of parameters used, and the assumptions made, in performing the calculation must be properly dealt with. The simulation of the images of defects in materials has, in many cases, therefore become a tractable problem.

The Article briefly discusses the need for generation of the Science of Ahangyol, and this science’s scientific basis, object and subject, category system, scientific research methods and application options. Ahangyol is a universal science and may be useful in any sphere. It may assist in problem solving in peacemaking process and in many areas such as ecology, economics, politics, culture, management and etc. This science stipulates that any activity and any decision made in the life may only and solely be successful when they comply with harmony principles more, which are the principles of existence and activity of the world. A right strategic approach of the Eastern Philosophy and the Middle Age Islamic Philosophy and scientific thought has an important potential. This strategic approach creates opportunities to also consider irrational factors in addition to rational ones comprehensively in scientific researches. The modern scientific thought contributes to implementation of these opportunities. Ahangyol is a science of determination of ways to achieve harmony in any sphere and of creation of special methods to make progress in these ways through assistance of the modern science. Methods of the System Theory, Mathematics, IT, Astronomy, Physics, Biology, Sociology, Statistics and etc. are more extensively applied. Information is given on some of these methods. Moreover, the Science of Ahangyol, which is a new philosophical worldview and a new paradigm contributes to clarification of metaphysic views considerably and discovery of the scientific potential of religious books.

Rostov Region belongs to the highly protected natural territories characterized by the continuous plowing. There territories are the only reserves with the soils preserved in their natural state. However, these areas often lack detailed information about the soils quality and composition. Surveying soils on these territories is crucial for determination of their basic physical and chemical properties. The resulted compilation of soil maps could lay a foundation for creating the Red Book of Soils and the formation of a section in the soil-geographical database of the Russian Federation. Subsequently, such information can be used as a background data for the main types of soils in the region. It will be also valuable during monitoring and justification of conservation measures.
