铜电解液中锑氧化还原规律及其价态转化途径

以含H2SO4、As、Sb、Bi的酸性溶液为研究体系,采用化学分析及电化学测试,研究了电解液中锑的氧化还原规律及价态转化途径。实验表明,在铜电解液中,溶解的氧气在一定温度下将Sb(III)氧化,其中砷可显著促进Sb(III)的氧化。通过向电解液中加入适量双氧水可实现电解液中锑的氧化,促进砷锑铋的共沉淀反应。电化学测试表明,加入Sb(III)后,阴极过程在-0.13 V出现还原峰,阳极过程在0.03 V出现氧化峰,随着三价锑浓度增加,阳极过程氧化峰电流先增大再减小。加入Sb(V)后,阴极过程在-0.1 V出现还原峰,阳极过程在0.05 V出现氧化峰,随着五价锑浓度的增加,阳极过程峰电流逐渐增大。采用H2O2氧化方法调节电解液中nSb(III)/nSb(V)至1∶4附近,Sb、Bi在一定条件下脱除率分别达到68.2%和83.7%。

Influence of Stress State on Soil-Water Characteristics and Slope Stability

A soil-water characteristic curve defines the relationship between the soil (matric) suction and either the water content or the degree of saturation. Physically, this soil-water characteristic is a measure of the water storage capacity of the soil for a given soil suction. Conventionally, the soil-water characteristic curves (SWCCs) are determined in the laboratory using a pressure plate apparatus in which vertical or confining stress cannot be applied. For investigating the influence on the stress state on the soil-water characteristics, a new stress controllable pressure plate apparatus has been developed. Effects of K0 stress conditions on the SWCCs of an “undisturbed” volcanic soil in Hong Kong are determined and illustrated. The net normal stresses considered in the apparatus are 40 and 80 kPa, which are appropriate for many slope failures in Hong Kong. Experimental results show that the soil-water characteristic of the soil specimens is strongly dependent on the confining stress. Numerical analyses of transient seepage in unsaturated soil slopes using the measured stress-dependent soil-water characteristic curves predict that the distributions of pore-water pressure can be significantly different from those predicted by the analyses using the conventional drying SWCC. For the cut slope and the rainfall considered, the former analyses predicted a considerably lower factor of safety than that by the latter analyses. These results suggest that wetting stress-dependent soil-water characteristic curves should be considered for better and safer assessment of slope instability.     

Potential interaction between warfarin and fluvastatin

OBJECTIVE: To report three cases of a suspected interaction between warfarin and fluvastatin. CASE SUMMARIES: Three patients receiving stable warfarin dosages with therapeutic international normalized ratios (INRs) exhibited increased INRs when fluvastatin was added to their maintenance regimens. While none of the patients experienced a bleeding episode, they did require a reduction in their weekly warfarin dosage to achieve an appropriate level of anticoagulation. DISCUSSION: Reports of an interaction between warfarin and lovastatin have been described previously; however, to our knowledge, this is the first published report of a possible interaction between warfarin and fluvastatin. These cases were chosen because other factors that could potentially increase the INR were ruled out as significant contributors. CONCLUSIONS: The exact mechanism for the potential interaction between warfarin and fluvastatin is unknown. Until more is known, it is advisable to monitor patients more frequently when fluvastatin is initiated, discontinued, or adjusted in patients taking warfarin.

Effects of NaCl, pH, and Potential on the Static Creep Behavior of AA1100

The creep rates of AA1100 are measured during exposure to a variety of aggressive environments. NaCl solutions of various concentrations have no influence on the steady-state creep behavior, producing creep rates comparable to those measured in lab air at room temperature. However, after an initial incubation period of steady strain rate, a dramatic increase of strain rate is observed on exposure to HCl solutions and NaOH solutions, as well as during cathodic polarization of specimens in NaCl solutions. Creep strain produces a continuous deformation and elongation of the sample surface that is comparable to slow strain rates at crack tips thought to control the kinetics of crack growth during stress corrosion cracking (SCC). In this experiment, we separate the strain and surface deformation from the complex geometry of the crack tip to better understand the processes at work. Based on this concept, two possible explanations for the environmental influences on creep strain rates are discussed relating to the anodic dissolution of the free surface and hydrogen influences on deformation mechanisms. Consistencies of pH dependence between corrosion creep and SCC at low pH prove a creep-involved SCC mechanism, while the discrepancies between corrosion creep behavior and previous SCC results at high pH indicate a rate-limit step change in the crack propagation of the SCC process.     

An Overview of the Cyclic Partial Austenite-Ferrite Transformation Concept and Its Potential

Over the past decades, the mechanism of interface migration during the austenite-ferrite transformation in steels has attracted significant attention from physical metallurgists. There are two challenging research questions in this field: (i) What is the effect of (substitutional) alloying elements on migrating interfaces? and (ii) How to accurately determine the value of interface mobility?. Recently, a cyclic partial phase transformation approach has been proposed to study interface migration, and new insights into the above two questions have been provided. An overview of the cyclic partial phase transformation concept is given, and pathways for future research are suggested.     

Relations between opacification of lens protein and pH

Some of the acidic reagents or medicines (i.e. HCl, GSH & GSSG, Vit. C, Vit. B6) and basic reagents (Tris) were used to regulate the pH of water soluble protein and urea soluble protein solution of human lenses. At a certain pH, the lens protein solution appears opalescence, the pH of opacity solution which is measured by pH meter is around 5.6-6.3. The opalescence of water soluble and urea soluble lens protein solution of human fetal, adult and cataractous lenses were also determined by gradient acidic and basic solution. The result show that the opacity is more obvious in soluble protein solution of cataractous lenses and clear lenses than in that of fetal lenses, and the lens urea soluble protein has a marked opalescence in comparison with the water soluble protein. So we assume that cataractogenesis might be associated with the change of pH within lens.

Study on Match Relationship between Rai l and Wheel

The match relationship between rail and wheel was studied by investigating the behavior of the contact fatigue wear in rail/wheel systems. The hardnesses of samples were close or equal to that of the real rail and wheel. Meanwhile the probe of study went further into the condition match and the material match based on the hardness match. The experim ental results show that the wear rate depends on the hardness ratio (HR/ HW) between rail and wheel, and the safe value of HR/HW equals 1 .00-11.20. The fatigue life of materials relies on the operating conditions except hardness. The selected experimental conditions satisfy the condition match except R1 heat-treated out-line. The factor H/S-1/2 is the main element effecting wears in rail steel and wheel steel. The nature of the har dness match is the microstructure match under specified operating conditions.     

Relationship between autoantibody and dermatosis in myelodysplastic syndrome

We analyzed the relationship between autoantibody and dermatosis in 22 patients with myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). These MDS patients consisted of five cases with refractory anemia (RA), three RA with ringed sideroblasts (RARS), eight RA with excess of blasts (RAEB), four RAEB in transformation (RAEB-t), and two chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMMoL) according to the FAB classification of MDS. The autoantibody was detected in seven patients, of whom four had rheumatoid factor (RF) and three had antinuclear antibody (ANA). Neither RF-positive nor ANA-positive MDS patients had other autoantibodies. Dermatosis was observed in nine cases of these 22 MDS patients. Five of 7 MDS patients (71%) with autoantibody developed dermatosis in their clinical course, as did four of 15 MDS patients (27%) without autoantibody. All four MDS patients with RF had dermatosis such as anaphylactoid purpura, xerotic dermatitis, thrombophlebitis, ephelides, and genital herpes. One of three MDS patients with ANA had pruritus senilis. The four MDS patients without autoantibody had dermatosis such as erythema nodosum, ichthyosis vulgaris, Sweet syndrome, and thrombophlebitis. Three of four MDS patients with RF had normal liver function tests, while three MDS patients with ANA showed liver dysfunction. Our studies presented here suggested that the dermatosis could develop frequently in MDS patients with autoantibody and that RF was closely related to development of dermatosis in MDS patients, although the dermatosis is not specially fixed.     

Relationship between iron and phosphate in mammalian ferritins

The core of mammalian ferritin is known to contain varying amounts of phosphate as well as iron. This study examined the variations in phosphate found in ferritins from horse spleen, rat liver, and bovine liver. The amount of phosphate varied inversely with the amount of iron present in the core. Theoretical extrapolation showed that in the absence of phosphate approximately 4400 atoms of iron could be incorporated into ferritin. Reconstitution of ferritin with iron and ceruloplasmin followed by prolonged incubation with phosphate produced cores similar to native ferritin in terms of iron to phosphate ratios and rates of iron release. However, ferritin reconstituted in the presence of phosphate differed markedly from native ferritins. The data suggest that phosphate is an integral part of mammalian ferritin cores and influences both core formation and the ease by which iron is released from ferritin.     

Relationship between etiology and phenomenologic profile in delirium

This study describes the symptom profile of 46 patients with delirium seen as consecutive referrals to a consultation-liaison psychiatry service. The relationship between symptoms rated on the Delirium Rating Scale (DRS) and delirium subtypes defined according to three putative etiologic groups are described. The relationship between etiologic groups and motoric subtype of the delirium episode is also described. Drug-related cases had the highest total DRS score and higher scores than the anticholinergic group for perceptual changes, delusions, psychomotor disturbance, and mood lability. Drug-related cases had higher scores than both the anticholinergic and infectious/electrolyte group for changes in sleep-wake cycle and fluctuation of symptoms. Those from the anticholinergic etiologic group were more likely to fit the hypoactive motoric subtype. Although our findings are tentative, etiologic categories may present with different symptom profiles, which may be associated with differing treatment responsiveness and course.
