The boron isotope composition of calcium carbonate shells of marine organisms has the unique potential to record surface ocean pH, allowing the calculation of atmospheric pCO2 due to the established relationship between pH and the partial pressure of (atmospheric) CO2 (pCO2). This “paleo-pH meter” allows scientists to produce a record of the natural fluctuations of atmospheric pCO2 over geologic time, which will help us better understand the impacts of the recent anthropogenic addition of CO2 to Earth's atmosphere. Towards this end, a tremendous effort to understand the systematics of boron uptake in marine carbonates is underway. Here, we review the potential of boron isotopes to constrain ocean pH and, thus, atmospheric pCO2.

Currently all nuclear power plants with VVER -reactors used data measuring systems called a Boron Concentration Meter (NAR). They are necessary for the boron control implementation. NAR consists of sensors and auxiliary devices, and it includes the device of storage and data processing (UNO). Both the rapid evolution of computer architectures, and associated microprocessor hardware updates in the electronics market create a necessity of a new device development. The main design goals both are to optimize the hardware solutions and to use a new software and algorithmic capabilities. However, another development goal is not only the upgrading of circuitry and software, but the optimization of calibration process in the NAR and testing it.

Materials with high thermal conductivity (κ) are of technological importance and fundamental interest. We grew cubic boron nitride (cBN) crystals with controlled abundance of boron isotopes and measured κ greater than 1600 watts per meter-kelvin at room temperature in samples with enriched 10B or 11B. In comparison, we found that the isotope enhancement of κ is considerably lower for boron phosphide and boron arsenide as the identical isotopic mass disorder becomes increasingly invisible to phonons. The ultrahigh κ in conjunction with its wide bandgap (6.2 electron volts) makes cBN a promising material for microelectronics thermal management, high-power electronics, and optoelectronics applications.

The chemical reaction between water and frit surface was determined using pH meter, ICP-MS, zeta-potential analyzer and FT-IR. With increasing the content of barium and boron of glass composition, the difference of water pH increased with different glass systems. During wet milling in aqueous solution, boron and barium of glasses dissolved. The values of zeta potential of lead and bismate frits were negative in water solution. Based on the results, when wet milling is used in water solution, the contents of barium and boron in a glass should be less than 10mol%.

Texto completoResumen
Semiconductors with high thermal conductivity and electron-hole mobility are of great importance for electronic and photonic devices as well as for fundamental studies. Among the ultrahigh–thermal conductivity materials, cubic boron arsenide (c-BAs) is predicted to exhibit simultaneously high electron and hole mobilities of >1000 centimeters squared per volt per second. Using the optical transient grating technique, we experimentally measured thermal conductivity of 1200 watts per meter per kelvin and ambipolar mobility of 1600 centimeters squared per volt per second at the same locations on c-BAs samples at room temperature despite spatial variations. Ab initio calculations show that lowering ionized and neutral impurity concentrations is key to achieving high mobility and high thermal conductivity, respectively. The high ambipolar mobilities combined with the ultrahigh thermal conductivity make c-BAs a promising candidate for next-generation electronics.

This work compares the effect of cubic boron nitride (CBN) and multilayer (TiCN+Al2O3+TiN) coated tungsten carbide (WC) tools during the turning of spheroidal graphite (SG) nodular iron. Nodular irons have more ductility which is required in mechanical components that demand high fatigue resistance like crankshafts, cam shafts, bearing caps and clutch housings. The impact of various process parameters like the depth of cut, cutting speed and feed on the surface roughness (Ra) of SG iron is studied and optimized using the response surface model. The chip morphology is also discussed for evaluation of the quality of the turned surface. The experimental outcomes reveal that the WC tool offers a high surface finish at the optimal combination of the cutting speed at 102 meter/minute, feed at 0.051 millimeter/revolution and depth of cut at 0.5 millimeter and that, for the CBN insert, at 245 meter/minute of cutting speed, 0.051 millimeter/revolution of feed and 0.75 millimeter of depth of cut.

Hard turning is a turning operation performed on hard materials (hardness more than 45 HRC) in order to reach surface roughness close to that obtained in grinding. The development of this technology was accompanied by the development of new cutting materials such as cutting ceramics, cubic boron nitride and polycrystalline diamond. Especially cubic boron nitride has found its use in hard part turning operations because of its characteristics. However, new cutting materials result in new questions, which researchers are trying to solve. The major consideration for a user of this relatively new technology is the quality of parts produced and how the new cutting material will behave during machining. This paper aims to document and describe the process of wear on the cutting edge of a tool made from cubic boron nitride of a different grade and with a different geometry of the cutting edge, and its influence on surface roughness and quality. Wear was documented by a digital microscope with measurement option. Surface roughness was measured by a roughness meter. A notable observation from this research is that the flank wear of the cutting tool has a large impact on the quality of machined parts (especially surface finish and surface integrity) [1].

Abstract The accuracy of flowmeter of the first circuit coolant sampling system in nuclear power plant affects the measurement of the Boron meter. If the fault treatment cannot be completed in time, the reactor state needs to be withdrawn, which will affect nuclear safety and cause great economic losses. In this paper, a feasible improvement scheme is proposed by analyzing the causes of instrument failure, researching the optimization direction, and adopting measures such as seismic analysis, prototype verification, split design, and interference suppression, which effectively improves the reliability of nuclear sampling flow measurement in nuclear power plants.

Research examines the impact of zinc (Zn) and boron (B) on the growth, and yield of potato plants. The screen house experiment used four treatments: T1 (Control), T2 (Zn 5g/L), T3 (B 2g/L), and T4 (Zn 5g/L + B 2g/L). Growth characteristics were evaluated, such as the emergence percentage, plant vigor, number of stem /meter2, plant height, and stem diameter. In addition, essential yield metrics such as number of tubers, tuber weight (g), dry matter content, and specific gravity were also assessed. The findings indicated that concurrent administration of T4 had a substantial positive impact on the plant's vitality, height, stem thickness, and stem density per square meter compared to the control group. This suggests a cooperative influence of these micronutrients on the growth of plant structures. However, in terms of yield qualities, the use of Zn alone T2 led to the greatest tuber weight, dry matter content, and specific gravity. Showing that Zn plays a crucial role in maximizing tuber growth and quality. The treatment T4 enhanced yield parameters compared to the control, but it did not exceed the effects of either Zn or B individually in T2 and T3. This emphasizes the intricate interaction between these nutrients. However, when it comes to maximizing yield attributes in potato cultivation, using Zn alone may be more successful. The results indicate that customizing the management of micronutrients could optimize the growth and output of potatoes, hence enhancing agricultural productivity. Additional research is advised to investigate the most effective dosages and combinations

Reduction and control of the friction force are important from the viewpoint of energy conservation, and novel approaches for achieving this are desirable. The friction force of the boron-doped zinc oxide (B-ZnO) coating on a stainless-steel type-440C substrate was moderated by controlling the B-ZnO crystal nanodomains' piezoelectric effect. The nanoscale and macroscale friction forces, as well as the B-ZnO coating's piezoelectric effect, were measured using lateral force microscopy, friction and wear meter, and piezo response microscopy devices, respectively. The distribution of the friction force's magnitude agreed well with that of the piezoelectric effect. The present study suggests that the friction force can be moderated by controlling the piezoelectric effect in the coating's nanodomains, which constitutes one method for controlling the friction force.

Four flame retardants and styrene-acrylic latex were used to make flame-retardant air filter paper via emulsion impregnation. The compositions and flame retardant mechanism of the flame retardants were investigated by using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The flame retardance of air filter paper was evaluated using TGA and limiting oxygen index (LOI) meter, and the physical properties and pore structure of the flame-retardant air filter paper were measured using stiffness tester, burst tester, and aperture analyzer. The results showed that the optimal ratio of flame retardant to styrene-acrylic latex was 1:1.4. The synergistic effect of boron, phosphorus and nitrogen made FR3 have good flame-retardant effect on air filter paper. Air filter paper with FR3 also had good physical strength and suitable pore size distribution.

This research was designed to perform linear attenuation calculations for ordinary concrete both through simulation and experiment. The linear attenuation coefficient is an essential parameter for radiation shielding design for both source transport casks and storage bunkers. The shielding properties of concrete designed with Serpentine aggregates of different granule sizes were investigated. The simulation was performed using Radpro computer Software while the experiment involved sourcing for local Serpentine rock, crushing into four different granule sizes of 5 mm, 10 mm, 15 mm and 20 mm respectively and casting the concrete samples, exposure of the samples to gamma and neutron radioactive sources and monitoring with a radiation survey meter, sample weight measurements and concrete sample crushing using a load testing machine for determination of the concrete compressive strength. The results of the linear attenuation calculations showed that there was high consistency in the values obtained by simulation with those obtained via experiment. Very high linear attenuation property was observed when the serpentine concrete samples were exposed to a neutron source, which corroborates the fact that Serpentine rock is a Boron-rich mineral and Boron is known to have high neutron absorption property. The experimentally determined linear attenuation coefficients showed that the values at 15 mm aggregate sizes were higher than those at 5 mm, 10 mm and 15 mm sizes respectively, which demonstrates that better shielding optimization, will be obtained when the concrete cask is fabricated with 15 mm aggregate size.

With the purpose to define the appropriate doses in the production of mint cultivation, this research was conducted in three locations (Gibraltar, Arboleda and Aguacatal) of the municipality of Jardín, Antioquia. The soils of these localities are andisols, with medium contents of organic matter, low in interchangeable bases, low in phosphorus and boron, with characteristics of low fertility. For this research, Mentha spicata L. (mint) was seeded at a distance of 0.3x0.3 m, in an experimental design of randomized complete blocks with four repetitions, with five increasing doses of compound fertilizer (10-30-10) (0, 60, 120, 180, and 240 kg ha-1), in combination of five increasing doses of organic fertilizer (0, 1.8, 3.6, 5.4, and 7 t ha-1), and one control with a biological fertilizer. In five foliage harvests, the highest dry matter (DM) yields were achieved with the application of 180 and 120 kg ha-1 of 10-30-10, with yields of 156 and 158 g of DM per square meter, respectively.

The future of agricultural water availability is threatened by climate change, population growth, and environmental regulations. Most of the global water is being used for crop irrigation. The objective of this research was to determine optimum timer-based controller settings and controlled-released fertilizer rates for ‘American Red’ (Pelargoium ×hortorum) potted geranium plants. Fertilizer was top-dressed at 3, 6, or 9 g. Plants were irrigated by a timer-based controller set to water at 11:00 AM every other day for 2 minutes, 9:00 AM and 2:00 PM for 1 minute per day, 11:00 AM for 1 minute per day, 11:00 AM for 2 minutes per day, and a control of manual hand watering. Data regarding plant growth, soil and leaf nutrients, and water use were collected. For geranium growth factors, the total flowers per plant was greatest for irrigation at 11:00 AM for 1 minute with 6 g fertilizer. Plant height and shoot dry weight were greatest for 6 and 9 g fertilizer. The number of umbels and soil plant analysis development (SPAD) chlorophyll meter readings were greatest for 9 g fertilizer. For geranium soil nutrient content, the pH was greatest for 3 g fertilizer, whereas the electrical conductivity, potassium, nitrate, sulfate, and boron were greatest for 6 and 9 g fertilizer. Regarding the nutrient content of the leaves, total nitrogen, boron, iron, and copper were greatest for 9 g fertilizer. Water use efficiency was greatest with 6 and 9 g fertilizer and irrigation 1 minute per day at 11:00 AM. The findings indicated that using timer-based controlled irrigation systems programmed to water for 1 minute during the morning with 6 g fertilizer resulted in plants that not only reduced water consumption but also enhanced water use efficiency and overall plant quality.

Abstract This study aimed to determine the neutron dose equivalent to the thyroid gland and eye lens in brain tumor radiation therapy with 15- and 18-MV three-dimensional conformal methods (3D-CRT). A Monte Carlo simulation was performed using the Monte Carlo N-particle transport code to calculate neutron fluence and ambient dose equivalent (H*(10)). Afterward, these parameters were measured using a model NRD roentgen equivalent in man (REM) neutron detector (Thermo Electron Corporation, USA) equipped with Eberline’s ASP-2e rate meter. Finally, the organ neutron dose equivalent was obtained by applying depth corrections to the measured ambient dose equivalent at the distance of the organ center from the central beam axis. The ratio of the out-of-field photon dose equivalent, measured previously, to the neutron dose equivalent in the eye lens was high due to its proximity to the radiation field. In contrast, this ratio remained unexpectedly high in the thyroid gland that is far from the central beam axis (about 15 cm). The calculated neutron parameters agreed with the measurements. The present study findings indicate that external field photon dose is the main source of thyroid gland biological effects in radiotherapy of brain tumors. In addition, it is appropriate to apply the model NRD REM neutron detector for measuring neutron contamination from high-energy linear accelerators inside and outside the treatment field.

Most studies in the literature regarding the uptake of micronutrients [zinc (Zn), manganese (Mn), iron (Fe), copper (Cu) and boron (B) accumulation] by sunflower are old. For this reason, this work is aimed to establish curves of sunflower micronutrient accumulation in tropical edaphoclimatic conditions. The experiment was conducted in field on Rhodic Eutrudox, located at the experimental farm of Embrapa Soja in Londrina-PR, using the commercial hybrid BRS 191. The experimental design was completely randomized, with four replicates. The experimental units consisted of 14 lines with a spacing of 0.70 meter between lines and 25.0 meters in length, with final density of 42,858 plants per hectare. Plants samples were collected every 14 days after emergence. After each collection, plants were divided into petiole, leaf, stem, capitulum and achenes. They were dried until reaching constant weight. Then, dry matter was weighed and the concentrations of Zn, Mn, Fe, Cu, and B were determined in the vegetal tissue. Micronutrient uptake occurred faster in the phase initiated 42 days after emergence (DAE). Iron was the most absorbed micronutrient, accumulating higher amounts in the achenes as well as in relation to the total absorbed. Fe, Mn, Zn, B and Cu concentrations were 38.06, 19.68, 9.20, 8,62 and 4.27 mg plant-1, respectively.

The nano-silica sol was prepared by sol-gel method, and the boric acid, urea, cyanoguanidine, melamine cyanurate (MCA), 1-hydroxyethane 1,1-diphosphonic acid (HEDP), and 6H-dibenz (C,E) (1,2) oxaphosphorin-6-oxide (DOPO) were added to the silica sol to modify the flame retardant through physical doping and chemical bonding. According to the formula proposed by Lewin, the calculation of flammability parameters were obtained by the limiting oxygen index meter, the micro calorimeter, the vertical burner, and the thermogravimetric analyzer proved that there was a synergistic or additive effect between the B/N/P flame retardant and the silica sol. Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectrum, scanning electron microscopy, and pyrolysis gas chromatography-mass spectrometry were used to characterize the morphology, structure, and pyrolysis products of treated silk fabric and residues after combustion. The results show that the flame retardancy of silica-boron sol is mainly caused by endothermic reaction and melt covering reaction. Silicon-nitrogen sol acts as a flame retardant through endothermic reaction, release of gases, and melting coverage. Silicon-phosphorus sol achieves flame retardancy by forming an acid to promote formation of a carbon layer and melting coverage. Silica sol and other flame retardants show excellent flame retardanty after compounding, and have certain complementarity, which can balance the dosage, performance, and cost of flame retardants, and is more suitable for industrial development.

This paper aims to enhance the credibility of applying the sulfur K-edge XANES spectroscopy as an innovative “fingerprint” for characterizing environmental samples. The sensitivities of sulfur K-edge XANES spectra of ten sulfur compound standards detected by two different detectors, namely, Lytle detector (LyD) and Germanium detector (GeD), were studied and compared. Further investigation on “self-absorption” effect revealed that the maximum sensitivities of sulfur K-edge XANES spectra were achieved when diluting sulfur compound standards with boron nitride (BN) at the mixing ratio of 0.1%. The “particle-size” effect on sulfur K-edge XANES spectrum sensitivities was examined by comparing signal-to-noise ratios of total suspended particles (TSP) and particulate matter of less than 10 millionths of a meter(PM10)collected at three major cities of Thailand. The analytical results have demonstrated that the signal-to-noise ratios of sulfur K-edge XANES spectra were positively correlated with sulfate content in aerosols and negatively connected with particle sizes. The combination of hierarchical cluster analysis (HCA) and principal component analysis (PCA) has proved that sulfur K-edge XANES spectrum can be used to characterize German terrestrial soils and Andaman coastal sediments. In addition, this study highlighted the capability of sulfur K-edge XANES spectra as an innovative “fingerprint” to distinguish tsunami backwash deposits (TBD) from typical marine sediments (TMS).

<p><strong>Abstract.</strong> Information on several crop bio-physical parameters is important as inputs for crop growth modelling, leaf stress analysis, crop health study and productivity point of view. Conventionally, biophysical parameters are measured in laboratory methods which are time consuming, laborious and destructive in nature. With the advent of remote sensing technology, the limitations of conventional methods can be overcome. Moreover, due to its narrow absorption bands at different wavelength, use of hyperspectral remote sensing becomes very useful in retrieving several bio-physical parameters. In the present study, field as well as laboratory based spectro-radiometer observations were carried out at Agronomy Department of VisvaBharati University, West Bengal, on Sunflower crop at its peak vegetation stage towards retrieving different bio-physical parameters, specifically leaf area index (LAI), chlorophyll content index (CCI), fluorescence etc. Different foliar boron (no boron, 0.15% and 0.20%) and irrigation (4&ndash;6 irrigations) treatments, i.e. total nine treatments with three replications, were applied on sunflower crop during different phenological stages to achievemaximum ranges of the bio-physical parameters. The LAI, CCI and fluorescence parameters were collected using canopy analyzer,chlorophyll content meter and portable gas exchange system, respectively. In each of the treatments, total four hyperspectral measurements were collected, which were further corrected for noise and smoothened using Savitzky-Golay filtering. Total thirty-four narrow band indices were computed based on the hyperspectral data, and the regression analysis was carried out among the indices and bio-physical parameters. The regression parameters were further deployed on the hyperspectral indices to retrieve the bio-physical parameters. The Gitelson & Merzylak-1 (GM-1) and Carter Indices-1 (CI-1) were found to the best indices for retrieving the LAI and CCI, respectively with correlation correlation (r) values of 0.87 and 0.80. On the other hand, Normalized Phaenophytinization Index (NPQI) and GM-1 were found to best for retrieving the Fv/Fm (dark) and Fvˈ/Fmˈ (light) with correlation(r)values of 0.92 and 0.76, respectively. Hence, the hyperspectral remote sensing be successfully utilized for retrieving several bio-physical parameters both at field (canopy level) and laboratory (leaf level) conditions.</p>

ABSTRACTIn this study, we investigate the charge-transport behavior in a disordered one-dimensional (1D) chain of metallic islands using the newly developed multi-island transport simulator (MITS) based on semi-classical tunneling theory and kinetic Monte Carlo simulation. The 1D chain is parameterized to model the experimentally-realized devices studied by Lee et al. [Advanced Materials25, 4544-4548 (2013)], which consists of nano-meter-sized gold islands randomly deposited on an insulating boron-nitride nanotube. These devices show semiconductorlike behavior without having semiconductor materials. The effects of disorder, device length, temperature, and source-drain bias voltage (VSD) on the current are examined. Preliminary results of random assemblies of gold nano-islands in two dimensions (2D) are also examined in light of the 1D results.At T = 0 K and low source-drain bias voltages, the disordered 1D-chain device shows charge-transport characteristics with a well-defined Coulomb blockade (CB) and Coulomb staircase (CS) features that are manifestations of the nanometer size of the islands and their separations. In agreement with experimental observations, the CB and the blockade threshold voltage (Vth) at which the device begins to conduct increases linearly with increasing chain length. The CS structures are more pronounced in longer chains, but disappear at high VSD. Due to tunneling barrier suppression at high bias, the current-voltage characteristics for VSD > Vth follow a non-linear relationship. Smaller islands have a dominant effect on the CB and Vth due to capacitive effects. On the other hand, the wider junctions with their large tunneling resistances predominantly determine the overall device current. This study indicates that smaller islands with smaller inter-island spacings are better suited for practical applications. Temperature has minimal effects on high-bias current behavior, but the CB is diminished as Vth decreases with increasing temperature.In 2D systems with sufficient disorder, our studies demonstrate the existence of a dominant conducting path (DCP) along which most of the current is conveyed, making the device effectively quasi-1-dimensional. The existence of a DCP is sensitive to the device structure, but can be robust with respect to changes in VSD.

With the increases in work environment regulations restricting alcohol to 1000 ppm, and in drink-driving laws, testing for alcohol with a simple method is a crucial issue. Conventional alcohol sensors based on sulfide, metal oxide, boron nitride or graphene oxide have a detection limit in the range of 50–1000 ppm but have disadvantages of complicated manufacture and longer processing times. A recent portable alcohol meter based on semiconductor material using conductivity or chemistry measurements still has the problem of a complex and lengthy manufacturing process. In this paper, a simple and effective resistive-type alcohol vapor sensor using one-step anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) is proposed. The nanoporous AAO was produced in one-step by anodizing low-purity AA1050 at room temperature of 25 °C, which overcame the traditional high-cost and lengthy process at low temperature of anodization and etching from high-purity aluminum. The highly specific surface area of AAO has benefits for good sensing performance, especially as a humidity or alcohol vapor sensor. With the resistance measurement method, alcohol vapor concentration of 0, 100, 300, 500, 700 and 1000 ppm correspond to mean resistances of 8524 Ω, 8672 Ω, 9121 Ω, 9568 Ω, 10,243 Ω, and 11,045 Ω, respectively, in a linear relationship. Compared with other materials for detecting alcohol vapor, the AAO resistive sensor has advantages of fast and simple manufacturing with good detection limits for practical applications. The resistive-type alcohol vapor-sensing mechanism is described with respect to the resistivity of the test substance and the pore morphology of AAO. In a human breath test, the AAO sensor can quickly distinguish whether the subject is drinking, with normal breath response of −30% to −40% and −20% to −30% response after drinking 50 mL of wine of 25% alcohol.

Purpose: Dual phase (DP) steels are widely used in the automotive industry due to their properties of a high balance of strength and formability. However, it is known that conventional welding of high strength steel leads to some undesirable results such as hardness decrease in the heat affected zone. Friction stir welding (FSW) is a new solid state joining method, which is used to join these steels due to its advantage of low heat input. The aim of this study is to evaluate the microstructural change and mechanical properties of friction stir welded DP800 steel. Design/methodology/approach: DP 800 steels with 1.5 mm thickness were subjected to friction stir welding, by using a tungsten carbide (WC) tool. The tool was tilted 2°, and downforce of the tool was kept constant at 6 kN. During processing, the tool rotation and traverse speed were fixed at 1600 rpm and 170 mm∙min-1, respectively. Findings: The friction stir welded region comprises martensite, bainite, refined ferrite. The average microhardness of stir zone has increased from 260 HV0.2 to about 450 HV0.2. The tensile sample shows a decrease in the ultimate tensile strength (σUTS) about 3%, from 827 MPa to 806 MPa for the joint. The yield strength (YS) of the joint is about 566 MPa and the value is near that of DP800. Research limitations/implications: The tungsten carbide tool used for the friction stir welding has suffered deterioration in the pin profile after 1 meter welding operation. It may be advisable to drill a pre-hole in the specimens for a longer tool life. Practical implications: Tool wear for industrial applications will be a major problem. Therefore, the use of tools with high wear resistance such as polycrystalline cubic boron nitride may be recommended. Originality/value: Works on friction stir welding of dual phase steels are limited and they mostly focus on spot welding. Also, this study systematically investigates the microstructure and mechanical properties of dual-phase 800 steels after the friction stir welding.

Boron, a metalloid, produces high energy upon combustion. It is recommended as an ingredient for fuel or propellant in rocket propulsion, despite the challenge of extracting its full thermal energy. So far no one has claimed the complete energy conversion of boron upon combustion. On the other hand, the current propulsion system of the Meteor missile uses boron-loaded propellant. The boron-loaded propellant provides an approximately three-fold increase in specific impulse compared to conventional propellants. The present study focuses on boron-HTPB-based solid fuels impregnated with early ignited particles as additives, aiming to assess the combustion performance of boron particles. These additives are magnesium (Mg), titanium (Ti), and activated charcoal (C), and their effects are evaluated based on the residual active boron content in the condensed combustion products (burned residues). An economical tool commonly called stagnation flow or opposed flow burner (OFB) is used to deflagrate the fuel sample by means of pressurized oxygen gas. The condensed combustion products are examined using a field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and differential thermal analysis (DTA). Among the fuel combinations investigated here, magnesium has been found to be a good burning enhancer of boron, leaving the lowest active boron content (30%) in the burned-out residue. The current research aims to develop an efficient boron-containing solid fuel for hybrid propellant ducted rocket engine applications.

In recent years, the demand on drinking water escalates the research on desalination technology. Existing desalination technologies utilize fossil fuel driven electricity which gains the researchers attention to develop the use of renewable resources. To address this, we have developed a novel device named desalination fuel cell (DFC), [1] that simultaneously desalinate the feed water and generate electricity by the anodic hydrogen oxidation and cathodic oxygen reduction. The bottleneck of DFC performance largely depends on oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) [2] and requires highly active catalysts. Herein, platinum nanoparticles deposited on activated carbon (Pt/C) is recognized as the state-of-the-art catalysts, however, the scarcity, cost and stability limited the usage in the real application. In addition, the catalyst surface poisoning due to chloride ions (Cl−) from the feed water deteriorates Pt/C catalytic activity in DFC. Therefore, the seek for chloride tolerant and highly active ORR catalysts for DFC are of interest. Several electro-catalysts have been investigated for chloride tolerance ORR activity [3-5]. Very recently, we have reported Fe/N/C as Cl- tolerant ORR catalyst with an on-set potential of 0.84 V vs. RHE in the presence of Cl- ions was on par with that of the state-of-the-art Pt/C in acidic medium [6]. The optimized Fe/N/C catalyst was utilized in DFC cathodes and delivered the highest open circuit voltage of 1.6 V on comparison with Pt/C cathode (1.46 V). The present work describes the synthesis and ORR evaluation of atomically dispersed Co nanoparticles on to boron-nitrogen co-doped carbon catalyst. The catalyst was derived using high temperature pyrolysis of Co and B incorporated zeolitic imidazole framework (ZIF) and systematically evaluated with respect to oxygen reduction activities. The effect of B and Co concentration, and pyrolysis temperature were analyzed using XRD, BET sorption studies, XPS and Raman spectroscopic techniques. Fig. 1a shows transmission electron microscopic image of Co/B/N/C catalyst. It is noteworthy that the black spots indicate the presence of atomically dispersed Co nanoparticles on to carbon support material. Flake-like surface morphology is observed for the catalyst synthesized in the present study (Fig. 1a inset). Fig. 1b shows the comparative ORR linear sweep voltammograms (LSVs) of Co/B/N/C and Pt/C catalysts with and without chloride ions. Notably, almost 140 mV difference in onset potential is observed for Pt/C in the presence of Cl– ions. However, Co/B/N/C catalyst exhibits nearly 10 mV difference in onset potential after the addition of Cl– ions in both acidic and alkaline media. The results show that Co/B/N/C catalyst is tolerance towards Cl– ions in acidic as well as alkaline media. The optimized Co/B/N/C catalyst was utilized as cathode in an indigenous DFC device and the performance was evaluated at room temperature. The DFC device was constructed as three compartments viz., anode, desalination and cathode as shown in the Fig. 2a [6]. In an identical operating condition, the highest OCV of 1.58 V was observed for Co/B/N/C cathode compared with that of Pt/C cathode (1.49 V). Notably, the Pt/C cathode delivered a peak power density of 15.7 mW cm-2 at a load current density of 19.0 mA cm-2. However, Co/B/N/C cathode exhibit a peak power density of 12.1 mW cm-2 at a load current density of 16.5 mA cm-2 (Fig. 2b) which is on-par with the state-of-the-art Pt/C catalyst. Simultaneously, the desalted water concentration was measured using conductivity meter and the results are presented in Fig. 2c. At OCV, the desalted water concentrations were measured to be 0.39 and 0.37 M for Co/B/N/C and Pt/C catalysts, respectively. At 16.5 mA cm-2 load current density, concentration of the desalted water was 0.2 M for Co/B/N/C catalyst and for Pt/C, the concentration at 16.5 mA cm-2 current density was 0.15 M. From the above polarization and concentration profiles, Pt/C shows enhanced performance over in-house synthesized, however, considering non-precious catalyst, the observed results for Co/B/N/C are much appreciable. We are hopeful that the results discussed in this study will provide insights in designing anion tolerant catalyst for the improved DFC performance. Reference Atlas, S. Abu Khalla, M. E. Suss, J.

Pelat merupakan salah satu komponen struktur yang memiliki peran penting dalam meningkatkan fungsi kegunaan bangunan. Dalam pelaksanaannya, pelat dapat dibagi menjadi dua yaitu sistem pelat satu arah dan sistem pelat dua arah. Perbedaannya terletak pada asumsi distribusi beban yang disalurkan ke balok. Pada beberapa model bangnunan, terdapat model yang hanya cocok dengan sistem pelat dua arah, begitu pun sebaliknya. Oleh karena itu perlu dilakukan studi perbandingan dilihat dari segi efisiensi biaya dan kebutuhan material. Pengambilan data dilakukan dengan observasi langsung ke lapangan untuk mendapatkan ukuran lahan. Objek penelitian berupa gedung sekolah dua lantai dengan ukuran denah kelas 9x8 meter, dilakukan analisa dengan metode perencanaan elastis. Setiap dimensi komponen struktur dibuat serupa antara sistem pelat satu arah dan dua arah. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa selisih anggaran biaya antara sistem pelat satu arah dan dua arah senilai 2%, lebih ekonomis sistem pelat dua arah. Perbedaan yang signifikan terletak pada volume beton. Sistem pelat satu arah lebih boros pada balok anak senilai 35%. Sementara untuk besi tulangan, sistem pelat satu arah 10% lebih banyak daripada sistem pelat dua arah

Although boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) is a promising treatment option for malignant brain tumors, the optimal BNCT parameters for patients with immediately life-threatening, end-stage brain tumors remain unclear. We performed BNCT on 34 patients with life-threatening, end-stage brain tumors and analyzed the relationship between survival outcomes and BNCT parameters. Before BNCT, MRI and 18F-BPA-PET analyses were conducted to identify the tumor location/distribution and the tumor-to-normal tissue uptake ratio (T/N ratio) of 18F-BPA. No severe adverse events were observed (grade ≥ 3). The objective response rate and disease control rate were 50.0% and 85.3%, respectively. The mean overall survival (OS), cancer-specific survival (CSS), and relapse-free survival (RFS) times were 7.25, 7.80, and 4.18 months, respectively. Remarkably, the mean OS, CSS, and RFS of patients who achieved a complete response were 17.66, 22.5, and 7.50 months, respectively. Kaplan–Meier analysis identified the optimal BNCT parameters and tumor characteristics of these patients, including a T/N ratio ≥ 4, tumor volume < 20 mL, mean tumor dose ≥ 25 Gy-E, MIB-1 ≤ 40, and a lower recursive partitioning analysis (RPA) class. In conclusion, for malignant brain tumor patients who have exhausted all available treatment options and who are in an immediately life-threatening condition, BNCT may be considered as a therapeutic approach to prolong survival.

BACKGROUND: Cancer is a deadly malignant disease and is prevalent in Sub Saharan Africa. The North East part of Nigeria in particular and the country, in general, are struggling to cope with the increasing burden of cancer and other communicable and non-communicable diseases. The situation is worsened by the ongoing insurgency and terrorist activities in the area.
AIM: The aim of this paper is to present the research findings from a cohort study aimed at the analysis of the estimation of the survivorship time of the real data of cancer patients in the North-eastern part of Nigeria and to establish if the insurgency in the region has contributed negatively to the life expectancy of its inhabitants.
MATERIAL AND METHODS: The record of 1,090 patients from medical records departments of the University of Maiduguri Teaching Hospital (UMTH), located in Maiduguri, the capital city of Borno State in northeast Nigeria was obtained. The record showed patients that were diagnosed and died of one type of cancer or the other from 2004 to 2017. All the cancer cases included in the present study were grouped into sex, age, marital status, occupation, date admitted and date of death/discharge. Descriptive statistics and Kaplan-Meier method were used to analyse the data using SPSS version 23 while Microsoft EXCEL and Minitab 16.0 were used for data cleansing and organisation.
RESULTS: Of the 1,090 patients analysed, 920 (84.40%) experienced the event, i.e. death, while 170 (15.60%) patients were censored. The data were analysed based on the ages and sex of the patients. 50.20% of the patients were of ages 21-50 years. The proportions of patients in this age bracket surviving past 7 days are 75%, while those between ages 80 years and above is 12 days. Others are of survival time of 5 days (ages 0-20 years) and 7 days (51-79 years). Using sex, 75% of the patients’ survival time is 7 days in the case of male and 6 days for females. It is safe to say that the survival time for cancer patients of the university the Maiduguri is 6 days and the result reflects the Northeastern part of Nigeria. This is because the hospital is one of few tertiary healthcare facilities in that area and consequently, cancer cases are often referred there.
CONCLUSION: Cancer incidence is high, and the probability of survival reduces as the survival time increases. This is a dire situation in need of urgent intervention from the government, groups and individuals to tackle the scourge of cancer, thereby improving on the life expectancy battered by the ongoing Boko Haram insurgency in that region.
