Novel broken symmetry phase from N(2)O at high pressures and high temperatures

Simple molecular solids become unstable at high pressures, typically transforming to dense framework and/or metallic structures. We report formation of an unusual ionic solid NO(+)NO(3)(-) (nitrosonium nitrate) from N(2)O at pressures above 20 GPa and temperatures above 1000 K. Synchrotron x-ray diffraction indicates that the compound crystallizes with a structure related to the aragonite form of CaCO(3) and NaNO(3). Raman and infrared spectroscopic data indicate that the structure is noncentrosymmetric and exhibits a strong pressure dependent charge transfer and orientational order.

Improvements in titer,productivity, and yield using solka-floc for cellulase production

Researchers studying cellulase enzymes for the economical production of fuel ethanol envision cellulose as the carbon source. However, submerged Trichoderma reesei cultures grown on cellulose exhibit high run-to-run variability. Thus, an investigation of 30 batch cellulase production experiments was instrumental in determining fermentation conditions that improved enzyme titers, yields, and productivities. Eighteen of the 30 batch experiments experienced minimal process upsets and were classified into eight groups based on agitation rate, gas sparge rate, and the use of oxygen supplementation. Comparing corn steep liquor with yeast extract/peptone also tested the effect of different sources of nitrogen in the media. Average 7-d enzyme titers were doubled from 4 to 8 FPU/mL primarily by increasing aeration.

XAS/EXAFS studies of Ge nanoparticles produced by reaction between Mg2Ge and GeCl4

We present results of an XAS and EXAFS study of the synthesis of Ge nanoparticles formed by a metathesis reaction between Mg₂Ge and GeCl₄ in diglyme (diethylene glycol dimethyl ether). The progress of the formation reaction and the products formed at various stages in the processing was characterised by TEM and optical spectroscopy as well as in situ XAS/EXAFS studies using specially designed reaction cells.     

ON THE IMPULSIVE BEVERTON–HOLT EQUATION AND EXTINCTION CONDITIONS IN POPULATION DYNAMICS

Abstract This paper is devoted to investigate extinction and nonextinction conditions of the extended Beverton–Holt equation (BHE) for dynamics of populations in Ecology when potential discontinuities at sampling points are included in the model. The proposed model is described by means of four sequences of parameters. Two of them are the intrinsic growth rate and the carrying capacity sequences which are included in the basic BHE model. The other two ones, namely, the harvesting (i.e., the hunting or fishing quota) and the internal consumption (which can include positive and negative migrations in the considered population habitat) sequences are included to parameterize the model discontinuities. Such discontinuities are related to impulses in the corresponding continuous‐time logistic equation. The obtained results establish how the harvesting quota and/or the internal consumption has to be fixed to guarantee the population nonextinction or, eventually, its extinction. Finally, some controllability results related to the search of a carrying capacity sequence such that the solution of the proposed impulsive BHE tracks a reference one are obtained.

High-pressure and -temperature ion exchange of aluminosilicate and gallosilicate natrolite

The simultaneous application of high pressure and high temperature has been used to achieve direct ion exchange of large cesium cations for the small sodium cations found in the zeolite natrolite by putting it into a superhydrated state with increased pore size. The larger cations remain trapped upon pressure release, and thus, this method is a means of producing new cationic forms of zeolites.
