    UPCYCLING OF BORO-ALUMINO-SILICATE PHARMACEUTICAL GLASS IN SUSTAINABLE CONSTRUCTION MATERIALS

    No full text
    The present Covid-19 emergency has dramatically increased the demand for pharmaceutical containers and the amounts of related waste. This paper aims at presenting the upcycling of discarded pharmaceutical glass into various porous ceramics, starting from the activation of fine powders suspended in weakly alkaline solutions (2.5 M NaOH/KOH). The alkaline attack determines the gelation of glass suspensions, according to hydration of glass surfaces, followed by condensation starting from 40 degrees C (`cold consolidation'). Alkali are mostly expelled from the gel, according to the formation of water-soluble hydrated carbonates. The mutual binding of activated powders was exploited for the encapsulation of waste-derived glass (from the plasma processing of municipal solid waste) and quartz sand as coarse aggregate. Moreover, industrial mud could be used instead of water in the preparation of alkaline solutions. Depending on the formulations, products comparable to facing bricks can be obtained directly after cold consolidation or after application of low temperature (700 degrees C) firing. In addition, selected formulations led to highly porous glass foams, to be used for thermal and acoustic insulation

    Elaboration on Kwapien's theorem: Representing bounded mean zero functions f as coboundary f = g ◦ T − g

    No full text
    In [8] Kwapien proved that every mean zero function f ∈ L∞[0, 1] we can write as f = g ◦ T − g for some g ∈ L∞[0, 1] and some measure preserving transformation T of [0, 1]. However, as was discovered in [4] there is a gap in the proof for the case that f is not continuous. The aim of this bachelor thesis is filling in that gap in the proof. We first extend Kwapien’s proof for continuous functions to certain other measure spaces. Thereafter, we use the method of proof suggested by Kwapien, to proof the theorem for mean zero function f ∈ L∞[0, 1] for which λ(f−1({x})) = 0 for all x ∈ R. Using this result we then proof that every mean zero function f ∈ L∞[0, 1] can be written as a sum f =(g1 ◦ T1 − g1) + (g2 ◦ T2 − g2) where g1, g2 ∈ L∞[0, 1] and where T1, T2 are measure preserving transformations of [0, 1]. We finish this thesis with an application of Kwapien’s theorem in the study to singular traces Applied Mathematic

    TWO-PHOTON SPECTROSCOPY OF THE F1ΠgF^{1}\Pi_{g} AND f3πgf^{3}\pi_{g} STATES OF F2F^{\ast}_{2}

B. 21, 229 (1988).Author Institution: Molecular Physics Laboratory, SRI InternationalThe F1ΠgF^{1}\Pi_{g} and f3Πgf^{3}\Pi_{g} states of F2F_{2} are excited from the ground 1Σg+^{1}\Sigma^{+}_{g} by two photons near 207 nm and detected by vuv fluorescence or by ionization by a third photon. The laser source for these measurements is an excimer-pumped dye laser operating with PBBO dye at 415 nm. This light is doubled in a βBaB2O4\beta-BaB_{2}O_{4} crystal and focused into a cell containing a mixture of F2F_{2} in He. The uv wavelengths were calibrated against the B2ΠX2ΠB^{2}\Pi-X^{2}\Pi (3.0) band in NO, which was calibrated against I2I_{2} in the visible. Vibrational levels v=0,1,2v' = 0, 1, 2 were observed in the F1ΠgF^{1}\Pi_{g} state and v=3v' = 3 in the f3Πgf^{3}\Pi_{g} state, based on the previous electron-impact assignments1assignments^{1}, and partially resolved rotationally (the effective excitation linewidth is 1cm11 cm^{-1}). These assignments are supported by simulations of the two-photon excitation spectra. Although the fluorescence has not yet been spectrally resolved, we believe that it arises predominantly from the triplet state even when the singlet is initially excited. In the latter case, the fluorescence is temporally delayed, and increases in intensity as the He density is increased. The two-phonon excitation scheme we have developed should be useful in investigating the kinetics of the 158 nm F2F_{2} laser, which is believed to arise from a transition from the outer well of the f3Πgf^{3}\Pi_{g} state to a weakly bound 3Πu3\Pi_{u} state correlating to ground state atoms.$^{2}

    Growth, yield productivity, and oil composition of two Amaranthus species grown under two different environmental conditions in Egypt

    No full text
    Amaranthus plants are very rich in nutritional benefits with significant traditional uses especially against inflammations. Herein, the growth productivity, oil quality, and compositions of the two promising novel food resources, Amaranthus caudatus and Amaranthus tricolor, were evaluated in two different locations in Egypt (El-Sharkia and El-Minia) which have different geographical regions. Analyses of geographic positions, climatic data, and soil characteristics of the two locations were evaluated. Plant heights, number of branches/plant, seed yield, and inflorescence length of the two plant species were studied in both locations. Additionally, the seed oil yields along with their gas chromatography-mass spectroscopy (GC-MS) profiles were characterized. The findings revealed a significant difference between the two locations, with a strong correlation between the yields and the climate conditions. The two plant species cultivated in El-Minia showed significant records of overall growth indicators than El-Sharkia. A worthy variability in the oil yields and composition of El-Minia samples exhibited higher contents of dry matter in both plants (89.01 and 89.03 g/100 g dry tissues, respectively) than those of El-Sharkia. Amaranthus caudatus cultivated in El-Sharkia showed higher lipids components (7.02 g/100 g dry seeds) and saturated (19.13 g/100 g dry seeds) and unsaturated fatty acids (61.32 g/100 g) than those of El-Minia site. In addition, A. tricolor cultivated in El-Sharkia contained higher lipids contents (6.87 g/100 g) and unsaturated fatty acids (61.75 g/100 g dry seeds) than El-Minia with the supremacy of El-Minia samples in saturated fatty acids (19.03 g/100 g dry seeds). A strong correlation between the lipids and fatty acids of A. caudatus and A. tricolor was determined, and the cultivation locations and conditions were found based upon the GC-MS analysis as well as statistical significance

    Free product subgroups between Chevalley groups G(Φ,F) and G(Φ,F[t])

    AbstractWe investigate subgroups of a Chevalley group G=G(Φ,A) over a ring A, containing its elementary subgroup E=E(Φ,F) over a subring F⊆A. Assume that the root system Φ is simply laced and A=F[t] is a polynomial ring. We show that if G is of adjoint type, then there exists an element g∈E(Φ,A) such that 〈g,E(Φ,F)〉=〈g〉*E(Φ,F), where 〈X〉 denotes the subgroup, generated by a set X, and * stands for the free product.It follows that under the above assumptions the lattice L=L(E,G) is not standard. Moreover, combining the above result with theorems of Nuzhin and the author one obtains a necessary and sufficient condition for L to be standard provided that A and F are fields of characteristic not 2 and Φ≠G2

    High carbon steel/Inconel 718 bimetallic parts produced via Fused Filament Fabrication and Sintering

    No full text
    The possibility of producing high carbon steel/Inconel 718 bimetallic parts via Fused Filament Fabrication and Sintering is explored. Compatibility of the two alloys with particular attention to elements interdiffusion through the interface as well as the effect of the deposition strategy were analyzed. Microstructural features, relative density and parts shrinkage were investigated, as well. Although first-tentative process parameters values were not sufficient to reach an acceptable material densification, a good bonding between Inconel 718 and carbon steel was observed, suggesting the potential to obtain sound bimetallic parts with a great range of material properties. Due to a difference in densification kinetics, sintering temperature was revealed to be the most critical process parameter to optimize to minimize porosity

    No full text
    Let R be a prime ring of characteristic different from 2, Qr be its right Martindale quotient ring and C be its extended centroid. In this paper we define b-generalized skew derivations of prime rings. Then we describe all possible forms of two b-generalized skew derivations F and G satisfying the condition F(x)x − xG(x) = 0, for all x ∈ S, where S is the set of the evaluations of a multilinear polynomial f(x1, ..., xn) over C with n non-commuting variables.
