La región boyacense cuenta con grandes riquezas minerales y una de ellas es la roca sedimentaria de arcilla caolinitica, con excelentes propiedades para la industria cerámica tradicional. Al realizar pruebas de caracterización a este material se encontró en el análisis propiedades plásticas, de alta refractariedad, bajo punto de fusión, resistencia a los choques térmicos y resistencia a la rotura. A partir de estos resultados se crearon crisoles resistentes a altas temperaturas, por diferentes tipos de fabricación, obteniéndose crisoles aptos para utilizarlos en ensayos de fusión a temperaturas de 1200°C. The Boyacá region has great mineral wealth and one of them is the sedimentary rock of kaolinitic clay, with excellent properties for the traditional ceramic industry. When performing characterization tests on this material, its plastic properties, high refractoriness, low melting point, resistance to thermal shocks and resistance to breakage were defined. These properties are due to its kaolinitic composition, aluminum silicate and the presence of magnesium in the clay. From these results, crucibles resistant to high temperatures were created by different types of manufacture, suitable for use in fusion tests at temperatures of 1200 ° C, and especially in fire tests for the characterization of gold ore.

Diamond Thin Films

Because of diamond’s wide band gap, high thermal conductivity, high breakdown voltage and high radiation resistance, there is a growing interest in developing diamond-based devices for several new and demanding electronic applications. In developing this technology, there are several new challenges to be overcome. Much of our effort has been directed at developing a diamond deposition process that will permit controlled, epitaxial growth. Also, because of cost and size considerations, it is mandatory that a non-native substrate be developed for heteroepitaxial nucleation and growth of diamond thin films. To this end, we are currently investigating the use of Ni single crystals on which different types of epitaxial metals are grown by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) for lattice matching to diamond as well as surface chemistry modification. This contribution reports briefly on our microscopic observations that are integral to these endeavors.

Abstract Insertions of Mutator transposons into maize genes can generate suppressible alleles. Mu suppression is when, in the absence of Mu activity, the phenotype of a mutant allele reverts to that of its progenitor. Here we present the characterization of five dominant Mu-suppressible alleles of the knox (knotted1-like homeobox) genes liguleless3 and rough sheath1, which exhibit neomorphic phenotypes in the leaves. RNA blot analysis suggests that Mu suppression affects only the neomorphic aspect of the allele, not the wild-type aspect. Additionally, Mu suppression appears to be exerting its effects at the level of transcription or transcript accumulation. We show that truncated transcripts are produced by three alleles, implying a mechanism for Mu suppression of 5′ untranslated region insertion alleles distinct from that which has been described previously. Additionally, it is found that Mu suppression can be caused by at least three different types of Mutator elements. Evidence presented here suggests that whether an allele is suppressible or not may depend upon the site of insertion. We cite previous work on the knox gene kn1, and discuss our results in the context of interactions between Mu-encoded products and the inherently negative regulation of neomorphic liguleless3 and rough sheath1 transcription.

Abstract Structural characterization of chromatin is challenging due to conformational and compositional heterogeneity in vivo and dynamic properties that limit achievable resolution in vitro. Although the maximum resolution for solving structures of large macromolecular assemblies by electron microscopy has recently undergone profound increases, X-ray crystallographic approaches may still offer advantages for certain systems. One such system is compact chromatin, wherein the crystalline state recapitulates the crowded molecular environment within the nucleus. Here we show that nucleosomal constructs with cohesive-ended DNA can be designed that assemble into different types of circular configurations or continuous fibers extending throughout crystals. We demonstrate the utility of the method for characterizing nucleosome compaction and linker histone binding at near-atomic resolution but also advance its application for tackling further problems in chromatin structural biology and for generating novel types of DNA nanostructures. We provide a library of cohesive-ended DNA fragment expression constructs and a strategy for engineering DNA-based nanomaterials with a seemingly vast potential variety of architectures and histone chemistries.

Atrazine (ATZ) is an herbicide which is applied to the soil, and its mechanism of action involves the inhibition of photosynthesis. One of its main functions is to control the appearance of weeds in crops, primarily in corn, sorghum, sugar cane, and wheat; however, it is very toxic for numerous species, including humans. Therefore, this work deals with the adsorption of ATZ from aqueous solutions using nanocomposite materials, synthesized with two different types of organo-modified clays. Those were obtained by the free radical polymerization of 4-vinylpyridine (4VP) and acrylamide (AAm) in different stoichiometric ratios, using tetrabutylphosphonium persulfate (TBPPS) as a radical initiator and N,N′-methylenebisacrylamide (BIS) as cross-linking agent. The structural, morphological, and textural characteristics of clays, copolymers, and nanocomposites were determined through different analytical and instrumental techniques, i.e., X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). Adsorption kinetics experiments of ATZ were determined with the modified and synthesized materials, and the effect of the ratio between 4VP and AAm moieties on the removal capacities of the obtained nanocomposites was evaluated. Finally, from these sets of experiments, it was demonstrated that the synthesized nanocomposites with higher molar fractions of 4VP obtained the highest removal percentages of ATZ.

Multilayer composite materials are frequently used in aircraft interiors. Even though they have high properties (such as physical, chemical and mechanical properties), their application is limited due to lack of knowledge of their decomposition process and on the interaction between different layers in fire. In the present work, two types of composites with 3 and 4 layers are studied. The fire characterization of multilayer composite is studied in 3 different phases using ISO-5660 cone calorimeter at two heat fluxes (35 and 50 kW.m−2). Phase-I mainly concentrates on the decomposition of single layer materials (paint, laminate and honeycomb) while in phase-II and phase-III, different assemblies are formed using a single layer material and studied in the same experimental configuration. In all the three phases, back surface temperatures of the materials or assemblies are measured and analyzed with different gas productions which allow to understand the dynamics of the decomposition process. The finding from the cone calorimeter study suggests that the ignition primarily depends on the top layer behavior of the composite. The permeability analysis on the top layer of the composite confirms that decomposed layer of paint offers more resistance to the volatile gases escaping from the composite. At the end of the study, thermal conductivity is determined and the ignition temperature of both the composite is determined.

ABSTRACTThe ENEA Radiocarbon Laboratory (Bologna, Italy) has been operating since 1985; it is the oldest among such laboratories operating in Italy and has been active for about 30 years in the field of dating of different types of samples with the radiocarbon (14C) liquid scintillation method. This study shows the detailed procedure for radiocarbon analysis on bioplastic materials by means of the synthesis of benzene, which includes CO2 production and purification, synthesis of acetylene, and synthesis and collection of benzene. The changes made to the original design of the synthesis procedures and the operational parameters adopted to optimize the combustion of the plastic materials are described. The measurement of 14C activity was performed using the liquid scintillation counting technique by a QuantulusTM 1220 low-background counter. The δ13C content was compared with the percentage of 14C concentration for the characterization of the bio content in plastic used in the food packaging.
