Ni olivine: thermal behavior of liebenbergite

The synthetic samples of nickel olivine were measured in the temperature range 100–630 K by the X-ray powder diffraction method. Temperature dependencies of molar volumes and coefficients of bulk thermal expansion of liebenbergite were determined. Interpolation and extrapolation of the experimental data were performed by the procedure based on the Debye–Mie–Gruneisen theory of solid body in the range from 50 to 2000 K, and the Gruneisen coefficient and Debye temperature were calculated. Heat capacity and its behavior in accordance with temperature were evaluated.

Capillary zone electrophoresis as a simple approach for the study of p-arsanilic acid transformation in the process of photolytic degradation

Arsenic aromatic compounds including p-arsanylic acid (pASA) are still widely used in a number of countries as the feed additives in animal breeding resulting in its entering the environment. Under the influence of oxidizing agents or UV radiation, pASA undergoes transformations leading to generation of inorganic arsenic species that are more mobile and toxic than organic ones. On the one hand, an approach based on the treatment of contaminated waters by UV irradiation seems perspective for their detoxification, but the feasibility of this approach depends on the composition of the products forming as a result of photodegradation. In the present work, a CZE was applied for the study of the pASA degradation process during stationary (308 nm) photolysis in the presence of Fe(III)-oxalate complex. A developed assay allowed controlling the parent compounds and also As-containing products of pASA degradation, presented mainly by arsenate and arsenite ions. It was found that the main inorganic derivatives of the pASA photolytic conversions are presented by arsenate and arsenite ions whose ratio depends on the initial amount of pASA and reaction conditions.

Laser ablation of paper: Raman identification of products

Old paper samples are bleached using pulsed laser radiation with a wavelength of 532 nm. The ablation products of five paper samples that differ by composition and production dates are studied using Raman microspectroscopy. Cellulose, protein, calcite, titanium dioxide (anatase, rutile, and brookite), quartz, lazurite, bonattite, and dolomite are identified as ablation products.     

Asymptotic multiphase Σ-solutions to the singularly perturbed Korteweg–de Vries equation with variable coefficients

The paper deals with constructing the asymptotic solution to the singularly perturbed Korteweg–de Vries equation with variable coefficients. The notion of an asymptotic multiphase Σ-solution is proposed, and an algorithm of its construction in a neighborhood of the point t = 0 is given. Some theorems concerning the exactness, with which such local asymptotic solution satisfies the equation under study are proved.

Parallel computations in drilling process

Methods for decision-making formalization at all stages of drilling process have been developed. They include methods for efficient use of drilling fluids with grounded technological parameters, prediction of troubles during drilling process and construction of optimal well profiles. Software implementing them makes it possible to optimize drilling parameters, improve tailing-in quality and in general to increase technical and economic indices of drilling. Use of parallel computations allows reducing time of computations and increasing their accuracy.
