The wool was pretreated with Fenton reagent in this paper, on this basis, 4-hydroxy benzaldehyde and concentrated nitric acid were used to discuss the dye-free coloration deeply. It was analyzed comparatively through a series of experiments on the wool before and after Fenton reagent pretreatment, and the effects of concentrations, temperature and time on the coloration were further discussed. The experiment indicated that, compared with untreated wool, the color of wool with Fenton reagent pretreatment was deeper and the coloration rate was quicker. It realized good coloration at lower temperatures, which achieved the goal of saving energy and emission reduction. The optimal conditions were that concentrations of 4-hydroxy benzaldehyde and concentrated nitric acid were 2.5% and 3% respectively, reacting time was 90min, and reacting temperature was 70°C.

Surface modification of nanoAl2O3 with stearic acid by dry method was researched. The structures of nanoAl2O3 before and after modified were characterized by IR. The modification effect on nanoAl2O3 was measured with the activation index. In addition, the influence factors of modifier dosage, modification time and modification temperature were also discussed. The results showed that nanoAl2O3 had been successfully modified with stearic acid. The hydrophily and lipophilicity experiments indicated that modified nanoAl2O3 possessed lipophilicity property and could disperse in xylene. The optimal conditions of modification were as follows: the stearic acid was 7.5 wt%, based on the quality of nanoAl2O3, modification time was 50 min and temperature was 150 ○C.

Hydrogen zeolite was modified with CeO2 by impregnation - filtration - heat treatment. Hydrogen-zeolite samples before and after modification were characterized by XRD and SEM. The catalytic efficiency of modified hydrogen-zeolite was investigated. Such modification conditions were explored: as the CeO2 percentage, calcination temperature, calcination time, impregnation temperature. The results show that the optimal CeO2 percentage is 0.5%, calcination temperature is 600°C, calcination time is 2h, impregnation temperature is 75°C. The aspirin yield reaches 78.3% under the optimal conditions, compared with that (64.8%) catalyzed by sulfuric acid and that (70.4%) catalyzed by unmodified zeolite. XRD, SEM characterizations show that Ce ions can be doped into the zeolite framework. And the modification makes the zeolite particle size become smaller, which is reduced to 50.5nm from 56.76nm. A high efficient and eco-enviromently catalyst was got by modification.

To determine the optimal conditions for the synthesis of melanin by black yeast fungi Pseudonadsoniella brunnea (Basidiomycota, Agaricomycotina, Agaricomycetes, Polyporales, Meripilaceae), depending on the amount of L-tyrosine in the culture medium was the purpose of the work. The standard Malt Extract Broth (MEB) liquid nutrient medium was used within this study. L-tyrosine was added to the culture medium in a quantity of 0.01, 0.025 and 0.05%.To obtain the melanin the cultivation of Pseudonadsoniella brunnea was carried out at pH 1-1.5, temperature + 21 ± 1 ° C during 7 days. Statistical processing of the results was carried out using generally accepted methods of variation statistics. It has been established that the level of melanin synthesis by black yeast-like fungi Pseudonadsoniella brunnea depends on the amount of L-tyrosine introduced into the culture medium. The MEB nutrient medium containing 0.05% L-tyrosine in this series of experiments found to be the best composition for obtaining melanin by the strain-producer Pseudonadsoniella brunnea. Compared to control (MEB without L-tyrosine), the amount of melanin synthesized by Ps. brunnea in these conditions increased by 2.5 times. The further research into the optimal conditions for the cultivation of black yeast-like fungi Pseudonadsoniella brunnea in order to obtain melanin is relevant and promising.

Abstract The proposed paper reports a series of experiments to investigate the cavitation erosion mechanism of HVOF coatings. Vibratory cavitation erosion tests according to ASTM G 32 have been carried out with several HVOF coatings including cermets, oxides and metallic alloys. The steady state erosion rate for each coating was determined and the effect of coating composition and microstructure on the erosion rate was investigated. The morphology and microstructure of the various coatings before and after cavitation testing were analyzed by means of light optical and scanning electron microscopy in order to study the erosion mechanism. The results demonstrate that HVOF coatings of NiCrFeBSi, WC-17Co, Cr3C2-25NiCr and Cr2O3 can exhibit a rather high resistance against cavitation erosion and should be considered for application as a protective surface layer against cavitation. Furthermore, it is shown that cavitation testing can provide a useful tool to study and characterize the bond strength between individual splats as well as the brittleness of the individual phases present in the coating.

This study was a series of experiments designed to test the influence of supplemental magnesium oxide (MgO) on muscle glycogen concentration in sheep exposed to stress (exercise) and the commercial slaughter process, and to test the effectiveness of this supplement in the commercial scenario. In Expt 1, Merino wethers maintained on a mixed ration (metabolisable energy 11 MJ/kg and crude protein 16.3% in DM) were supplemented with MgO at the rate of 0%, 0.5%, or 1% of their ration for 10 days prior to a single bout of exercise and for 10 days prior to slaughter at a commercial abattoir. The exercise regimen consisted of 4 intervals of 15 min, with muscle biopsies taken by biopsy drill from the m. semimembranosis (SM) and m. semitendinosis (ST) pre-exercise and immediately post-exercise, and at 36 and 72 h post-exercise. Muscle biopsies were also taken 1 week prior to slaughter from the SM and ST, with further samples taken approximately 30 min post-slaughter. Ultimate pH (pHu) of the SM, ST, and m. longissimus dorsi (LD) was measured 48 h after slaughter. Sheep supplemented with MgO lost less muscle glycogen in the ST during exercise, and repleted more muscle glycogen in the SM during the post-exercise repletion phase, than unsupplemented sheep. The supplemented animals also had higher muscle glycogen concentrations in the ST at slaughter. In Expt 2, MgO was administered to Merino wether lambs for 4 days prior to slaughter in the form of a water-borne slurry at a rate equivalent to 1% of their ration. This treatment resulted in significantly reduced muscle glycogen concentrations in both the SM and ST at slaughter. In Expts 3–5, MgO was used as an ‘in-feed’ supplement in the commercial scenario. In each case, slaughter-weight Merino lambs were supplemented with MgO at the rate of 1% of their ration for 4 days prior to commercial slaughter. Positive responses were seen in 2 of the 3 experiments, with increased glycogen concentrations and a reduced pHu. The animals that demonstrated no response to MgO had the lowest pHu after slaughter, suggesting a minimal stress load, thus providing very little scope for an effect of the MgO supplement. We conclude that MgO can reduce the effects of exercise, leading to a subsequent reduction in glycogen loss, and an increase in the rate of glycogen repletion in skeletal muscle following exercise. The results support MgO supplementation as a viable option for reducing the stress associated with commercial slaughter.

1. In a paper, which I communicated to the Royal Society in 1839, and which was honoured by insertion in the Transactions of the following year, I described a series of experiments made with some powerful voltaic batteries, for the purpose of determining the possibility of obtaining a spark before the completion of the voltaic circuit. I was therein enabled to establish a few facts respecting polar tension, or rather respecting the absence of any notable degree of it in the batteries I described; for instance, I proved that, with 320 series of Professor Daniell’s constant battery, polar tension was not evinced adequate to the striking distance of 1/5000 th of an inch; nor was I more successful in obtaining it with a water battery of 1024 series, constructed by the same gentleman. I also stated that, according to the present theoretical views of the action of the voltaic battery, with the apparatus I then used, it ought to have taken place; and that, if by a still more powerful apparatus it could not be obtained, the theory must, in some way or other, be incorrect. 2. The preceding negative facts are not without their value in a scientific point of view; they show us, at least, a certain limit within which the anticipated effects could not be obtained. At the same time I could not fail to admit that they were anything but conclusive, as to the actual question of the possibility of obtaining the spark before the circuit was completed. That I am justified in calling the spark, under such circumstances, an anticipated effect, may be fairly assumed, because every electrician is aware that the terminals of a voltaic series invariably evince a certain amount of tension and as spark is but a consequence of tension exalted to a maximum, it is only fair to anticipate that, by increasing the tension, it would be obtained.

Degumming Process

In order to make the reed leaf fiber soft, increase its separating degree and remove impurities, the method of pretreatment in removing impurity was studied. The orthogonal method was used to optimize the treatment condition and the optimal conditions were obtained at a concentration of sodium hydroxide of 18g/L, treating temperature of 100°C and holding time of 90min. It also revealed that temperature holding time had the greatest influence on the degumming effect of the fibers. Under these conditions, the content of pectin and hemicellulose could reach about 2.6% and the content of cellulose could come up to 92.8%. Furthermore, the binary quadratic orthogonal regressive experiment was used to optimize the degumming process. The longitudinal directions of the fibers were examined by SEM before and after the processing.

Eeg Pattern

Unanesthetized rats were exposed to oxygen at high pressure (OHP)—60 lb/sq. inch gauge pressure (60 p.s.i.g.)—and kept at this pressure until three convulsions had occurred (average time 3.3 minutes). Electroencephalographic (EEG) frequency decreased and amplitude increased just before and after a convulsion; heart rate decreased and respiratory rate increased. After stage-decompression the EEG pattern became similar to that observed during the precompression stage in about 11 minutes; heart rate returned within 32 minutes, but the respiratory rate fell below precompression levels and did not recover for some 79 minutes. With exposure to 2% carbon dioxide in oxygen (CO2–OHP) at 60 p.s.i.g. the convulsion time was significantly shorter than with pure oxygen. Convulsions did not occur with exposure to air or oxygen at atmospheric pressure nor to air at 60 p.s.i.g. On prolonged exposure to OHP the rats survived an average of 48.4 convulsions, the survival time being 104.45 minutes; rats exposed to CO2–OHP experienced an average of 20.7 convulsions and survived only 38.50 minutes. In both groups the respiration was the first to fail, followed by the heart. Postmortem examination revealed severe pulmonary congestion in these rats.Repeated exposures to OHP at weekly intervals led to a decrease in the time to the first convulsion in one series of experiments but these rats were found to have elevated respiratory rates, marked pulmonary damage, and increased Hb and erythrocytes. In a second series no change in convulsion time was noted over six weekly exposures; these animals had minimal lung pathology and showed no change in the blood picture. An increase in time to the first convulsion was noted in the group exposed repeatedly to CO2–OHP.

Facilitatory Action

ABSTRACT The milk-ejection reflex was studied in anaesthetized, lactating Wistar rats in order to evaluate the contribution of the paraventricular nucleus (PVN) to the patterning of milk ejection and the facilitatory action of centrally administered oxytocin. In the first series of experiments, radiofrequency lesions were performed and centred: (1) antero-dorsal to the PVN, damaging parts of the medial septum and anterior hypothalamus; (2) in the PVN, such that much of the parvocellular division was destroyed, but parts of the magnocellular division remained intact; or (3) in the PVN, destroying both parvocellular and magnocellular divisions. Suckling tests performed before and after lesioning showed that the milk-ejection interval was significantly increased (decreased frequency) after lesioning in groups 2 and 3, but that milk-ejection amplitude was significantly decreased only in group 3. These results suggest that damage to the parvocellular division of the PVN affects milk-ejection frequency, but that damage to the magnocellular PVN only affects amplitude. Subsequent tests on rats injected into the PVN with the neurotoxin N-methyl-d,l-aspartate revealed a fall in the amplitude and frequency of milk ejection, similar to that after complete radiofrequency lesions of the PVN. In the second series of experiments, the facilitatory action of centrally administered oxytocin (1 mU, 2.2 ng) was examined in animals bearing either sham or complete PVN lesions. In both groups, intracerebroventricular injection of oxytocin was able to increase the frequency of milk ejections, although the incidence of milk ejection was lower in the pre- and post-injection period in the PVN-lesioned animals. In conclusion, the parvocellular component of the PVN may be an important site for regulating milk-ejection frequency, possibly mediated by its centrally projecting oxytocin neurones. However, the PVN does not appear to be the principle target site by which central oxytocin exerts its facilitatory effect on the frequency of milk ejection.

Local cultivars of A. caudatus: Helios and Karmin were used as plant material. Amaranth is a new pseudocereal introduced in Ukraine. The plant biomass of amaranth is used in medicine, food industry and cosmetology industry. Aim. The purpose of the work was to identify the optimal conditions for the transient expression of reporter genes in Amaranthus caudatus cultivars. Methods. Biochemical and microscopy methods were used in the following work. Seedlings and adult plants of different age were infiltrated with agrobacterial suspensions separately (genetic vector pCBV19 with a uidA gene and genetic vector pNMD2501 with a gfp gene in Agrobacterium tumefaciens GV3101 strain). Results. Transient expression of the uidA and gfp genes was obtained in amaranth plants after conduction series of experiments. The most intensive transient expression of gfp and uidA genes was observed in seedlings infiltrated at the age of 1 day. The maximum fluorescence of the GFP protein was observed on 5th–6th days. Conclusions. It was shown that the cultivar Helios was more susceptible to agrobacterial infection than the cultivar Karmin. The effectiveness of Agrobacterium mediated transformation was from 16% to 95% for the Helios cultivar and from 12% to 93% for the Karmin cultivar. The obtained results indicate that the studied amaranth cultivars can potentially be used for obtaining transient expression of target genes and synthesizing target proteins in their tissues in the future.
