چکیده
The chemical reduction of the K2NiF4-type oxides, Ln2Sr2CrNiO8 d (Ln 1⁄4 La, Nd) and Nd2.25Sr1.75CrNiO8 d, has been investigated in situ under a dynamic hydrogen atmosphere at high temperature using neutron powder diffraction. The high count-rate and high resolution of the D20 diffractometer at ILL, Grenoble allowed real-time data collection and structure refinement by fullpattern Rietveld analysis with a temperature resolution of 1 C. Excellent agreement was obtained with the results of thermogravimetric analysis of these materials, which are potential fuel-cell electrodes. The neutron study revealed that oxygen is lost only from the equatorial anion site; the reduction of La2Sr2CrNiO8 d yields a pure Ni(II) phase, La2Sr2CrNiO7.5 en route to a mixed Ni(II,I) oxide, La2Sr2CrNiO7.40, whereas hydrogen reduction of Nd2Sr2CrNiO8 d and Nd2.25Sr1.75CrNiO8 d proceeds continuously from Ni(III) to an average oxidation state of 1.80 for the nickel ion. The data collected throughout a subsequent heating/cooling cycle in air indicated that the reduced phases intercalate oxygen reversibly into the equatorial vacancies of the K2NiF4-type structure. The retention of I4/mmm symmetry, along with the absence of the formation of any impurities throughout the heating/cooling cycles under reducing and oxidizing atmospheres, demonstrates both the reversibility and the strongly topotactic character of the oxygen deintercalation/intercalation chemical redox process and establishes the excellent structural stability of these layered mixed-metal oxides over a wide range of oxygen partial pressures.

HEMATOPOIESIS AND STEM CELLS Essential role for focal adhesion kinase in regulating stress hematopoiesis
Focal adhesion kinase (FAK) is a nonreceptor tyrosine kinase that has been extensively studied in fibroblasts; however its function in hematopoiesis remains an enigma. FAK is thought to be expressed in myeloid and erythroid progenitors, and its expression is enhanced in response to cytokines such as granulocyte macrophage colony-stimulating factor. Furthermore, bone marrow cells cultured in gra...
متن کاملRX J1016.9–4103: a new soft X-ray polar in the period gap
We have discovered a new AM Her system as the optical counterpart of the ROSAT All-Sky-Survey source RX J1016.9–4103 (≡ 1RXS J101659.4-410332). The X-ray spectrum is very soft and the X-ray intensity is strongly modulated with the orbital period. Optical photometric and spectroscopic follow-up observations reveal a synchronously rotating binary with an orbital period of 134 min, placing RX J101...

BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVES The P300 wave is an event related potential (ERP) elicited by infrequent, task-relevant stimuli and appeared at about 300 ms, represents higher cognitive function of information processing, working memory or stimulus categorization. Hypobaric hypoxia deteriorates the cognitive function during the short term stay (days to few weeks) at high altitude. The present study was...
