AbstractTo immobilize a high sulfate radioactive wastes a system Na2O-A12O3-P2O5-SO3 has been chosen as one where glasses have a relatively low melting points and good chemical durability. Glasses within partial system 44 Na2O, 20 A12O3 (36-x) P2O5 x SO3 have been prepared at 1000 °C. A possibility of assimilation up to 12 mole % of SO3 has been established. The basic properties of sulfate-containing glasses as density, microhardness, thermal expansion coefficient, transformation and deformation temperatures, viscosity, electric resistivity, leach rate of ions and diffusion coefficients of 22Na, 35S, 90Sr and 137Cs have been measured. Glass structure by infrared and EPR spectroscopies has been investigated.

Abstract Factor VIII-related antigen migrates poorly into gel during electrophoresis in agarose, probably in major part because of the relatively high sulfate content of the commonly used agars. A recently available low-sulfate residue agar, substituted for standard agar preparations in electroimmunoassay, allows Factor VIII antigen to travel more rapidly, producing "rockets" that are well defined and easily measured, making the assay easier and more reliable.

Viscosity and diffusion coefficients for five equimolar binary gas mixtures of SF 6 with O 2, CO 2, CF 4, N 2 and CH 4 gases are determined from the extended principle of corresponding states of viscosity by the inversion technique. The Lennard–Jones 12-6 (LJ 12-6) potential energy function is used as the initial model potential required by the technique. The obtained interaction potential energies from the inversion procedure reproduce viscosity within 1% and diffusion coefficients within 5%.

In this paper we consider reflected diffusions with positive and negative jumps, constrained to lie in the nonnegative orthant of ℝ n . We allow for the drift and diffusion coefficients, as well as for the directions of reflection, to be random fields over time and space. We provide a boundary behavior characterization, generalizing known results in the nonrandom coefficients and constant directions of the reflection case. In particular, the regulator processes are related to semimartingale local times at the boundaries, and they are shown not to charge the times the process expends at the intersection of boundary faces. Using the boundary results, we extend the conditions for product-form distributions in the stationary regime to the case when the drift and diffusion coefficients, as well as the directions of reflection, are random fields over space.


The rate of evaporation of drops of dibutyl phthalate and butyl stearate of radius approx. 0.5 mm. has been studied by means of a microbalance over a range of atmospheric pressures down to approx. 0*1 mm. of mercury. Wide departures from Langmuir’s evaporation formula were found to occur at these low pressures, but results are in good accordance with the theory of droplet evaporation advanced by Fuchs which hitherto has not been tested experimentally. This experimental verification of Fuch’s theory for droplets of medium size evaporating at low pressures shows that the theory can be applied to the evaporation of very small drops at atmospheric pressure. The vapour pressures of the above liquids have been measured by Knudsen’s method and the evaporation and diffusion coefficients calculated fro n the experimental data.

The growth dynamics of D2O ice in liquid H2O in a microfluidic device were investigated between the melting points of D2O ice (3.8 °C) and H2O ice (0 °C). As the temperature was decreased at rates between 0.002 °C/s and 0.1 °C/s, the ice front advanced but retreated immediately upon cessation of cooling, regardless of the temperature. This is a consequence of the competition between diffusion of H2O into the D2O ice, which favors melting of the interface, and the driving force for growth supplied by cooling. Raman microscopy tracked H/D exchange across the solid H2O–solid D2O interface, with diffusion coefficients consistent with transport of intact H2O molecules at the D2O ice interface. At fixed temperatures below 3 °C, the D2O ice front melted continuously, but at temperatures near 0 °C a scalloped interface morphology appeared with convex and concave sections that cycled between growth and retreat. This behavior, not observed for D2O ice in contact with D2O liquid or H2O ice in contact with H2O liquid, reflects a complex set of cooperative phenomena, including H/D exchange across the solid–liquid interface, latent heat exchange, local thermal gradients, and the Gibbs–Thomson effect on the melting points of the convex and concave features.

Calcium-based stabilizing materials (CBSMs) such as lime and fly ash are extensively used in subgrade primarily to enhance mechanical strength and improve resistance to chemical attack, resulting in more durable roadway. The soluble sulfate phase contained in some soils, however, can react with CBSMs and form ettringite minerals. If the soil is compacted before the end of this reaction, large, unstable, and volumetric swelling can occur. Among several methods to control sulfate-induced swelling, a “mellowing” approach is typically used because of its efficient, economical, and practical benefits when dealing with calcium-based stabilization of soils with significant soluble sulfate contents. Although the mellowing method is one of the frequently used methods, little data is available on the characterization of the specified mellowing process in the high-sulfate-bearing soil during the mellowing period. A research program investigated key factors influencing the mellowing process during the mellowing period, explaining how stabilizer type and content, remixing interval, mellowing period, and temperature play a role in reducing soluble sulfate content. Moreover, for selected mixtures, the 3-dimensional volumetric expansion and retained strength were measured after the mellowing process. Laboratory test results have revealed that a single mellowing process with higher lime content and daily remixing at high temperature leads to the rapid reduction of sulfate content in the soil. Moreover, after the mellowing process, additional soil treatment with fly ash or a combination of lime and fly ash leads to lower expansion and higher retained unconfined compressive strength of the soil mixture.
