Abstract The structure family of the rare‐earth calcium oxoborates O[BO 3 ] (RCOB) has been investigated mainly with regard to their optical characteristics. Due monoclinic‐domatic they exhibit pyro‐ and piezoelectric properties, which is not dependent on numerous possible substitutions cation site R . cations are known show partial disorder earth alkaline positions X Z To study whether a stabi...

A number of new binuclear complexes have been synthesised by interaction of stable Ni(II) and Cu(II) metal chelates of p-Methylisonitroacetosophenone with Alkaline earth metal salts having general formula[Ma(p-MeINAP)2MbL2 or MbX2]where Ma=Ni(II) or Cu(II),p-MeINAP = deprotonated pMethyiIsonitrosoacetophenone, Mb= Ca ++ or Mg ++ ,L = deprotonated ortho amino benzoic acid and 8hydroxyquinoline X...

Cerium exchange by microporous materials, such as zeolites, has important applications in different fields, for example, rare earth element recovery from waste or catalytic processes. This work investigated the Ce-exchange capacity of zeolite L three cationic forms (the as-synthesized K form and Na- NH 4 -exchanged ones) a highly concentrated solution. Chemical analyses structural investigation...

The influence of the nature of the cation on the interaction of the silicoaluminophosphate SAPO-34 with small hydrocarbons (ethane, ethylene, acetylene, propane, propylene) is investigated using periodic density-functional theory calculations including a semi-empirical dispersion correction (DFT-D). Initial calculations are used to evaluate which of the guest-accessible cation sites in the chab...

this research intends to develop a method based on the artificial neural network (ann) to predict permanent earthquake-induced deformation of the earth dams and embankments. for this purpose, data sets of observations from 152 published case histories on the performance of the earth dams and embankments, during the past earthquakes, was used. in order to predict earthquake-induced deformation o...

the natural teeth are the most durable organs in the bodies of vertebrates, and humankind’s understanding of their own past and evolution relies heavily upon remnant dental evidence found as fossils. the use of features unique to the human dentition as an aid to personal identifi cation is widely accepted within the forensic fi eld. comparative dental identifi cations play a major role in ident...

ABSTRACT- Paddy soils make up the largest anthropogenic wetlands on earth. Present study was performed to investigate and compare soil formation of paddy soils with long-term rice cultivation history with non-paddy soils and study the effect of waterlogging on soil pedogenesis. Soil samples were taken from paddy and non-paddy soils derived from the same calcareous parent materials. Some pedogen...

The structural and bleaching properties of nitric acid-activated Nteje clay was studied to investigate its ability to serve as an alternative to the high cost imported bleaching earth. The clay was mined, sun-dried, grinded, and reacted with different concentrations of nitric acid, ranging from 2 mol.L-1 to 15 mol.L-1. The un-activated and activated samples were characterized to study the struc...
