The growing demand for nickel metal and the depletion of high-grade sulfide ore reserves have turned direction industry towards laterites which are not desirable as primary source due to their low Ni content more energy-intensive processing. Thus, alternative routes essential effectively processing these ores while reducing costs greenhouse gas emissions. Solid-state reduction followed by magne...

Entre los coleópteros de importancia agrícola sobresale la familia Curculionidae, y entre éstos, el picudo Macrocopturus aguacatae Kissinger, está reconocido como una plaga que barrena las ramas del aguacate (Persea americana Mill.) El objetivo presente estudio fue evaluar preferencia alimentación en condiciones laboratorio. Para M. se probaron 23 variedades utilizando 2.0 a 2.5 cm diámetro 30 ...

The 3D metal–organic framework (MOF), MIL-88B, built from the trivalent metal ions and ditopic 1,4-Benzene dicarboxylic acid linker (H2BDC), distinguishes itself other MOFs for its flexibility high thermal stability. MIL-88B was synthesized by a rapid microwave-assisted solvothermal method at power (850 W). iron-based [Fe3.O.Cl.(O2C–C6H4–CO2)3] exposed oxygen iron content of 29% 24%, respective...

The thermal decomposition kinetics of melaminium bis(trichloroacetate) dihydrate (MTCA) has been studied by thermogravimetry and derivative thermogravimetry techniques using non-isothermal experiments at three different heating rates 10, 15, and 20 ◦C min−1. Non-isothermal studies of MTCA revealed that the decomposition occurs in three stages involving dehydration and decomposition. The apparen...

The amorphous-to-crystalline transition during thermal annealing of amorphous Al80Fe20 alloy powders prepared by ball milling was investigated by means of magnetothermal analysis and X-ray di€raction. Following structural relaxation and stress relief processes, a metastable phase precipitates during primary crystallization, and a mixture of intermetallic compound (h-Al13Fe4) and fcc Al is devel...

In the context of categorical quantum mechanics, Coecke and Kissinger suggested that two 3-qubit states, GHZ and W, may be used as the building blocks of a new graphical calculus, aimed at a diagrammatic classification of multipartite qubit entanglement under stochastic local operations and classical communication (SLOCC). We present a full graphical axiomatisation of the relations between GHZ ...
