Fire performance of wood (Pinus radiata) treated with fire retardants and a wood preservative

In this work, we co‐formulated an oil‐borne copper naphthenate/permethrin wood preservative system with synthetic polymer‐based fire‐retardant additives prior to the impregnation of Pinus radiata sapwood. We evaluated what effect, if any, the preservative had upon the fire performance properties of the fire retardants and whether the fire retardants impacted on the fungicidal and termiticidal efficacy of the preservative. The fire retardants included halogenated and phosphorus‐based systems. A mass loss calorimeter, in conjunction with a thermopile, was used to measure the time to ignition and the peak heat release rate (PHRR) from which the fire performance index (FPI) was determined. The preservative properties were evaluated using termite and soil‐block decay bioassays. In summary, we found that the rate of fire growth was reduced when the fire retardants were used in combination with the wood preservative. We also found that the PHRR was a better determinant of fire performance than the FPI. The performance of the wood preservative was enhanced against fungal decay and termite attack when used in combination with the fire retardants. The fire retardants also demonstrated some wood preservative properties of their own. Copyright © 2008 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Evaluation of rapeseed meals in broiler chicks: Effect of iodine supply and glucosinolate degradation by myrosinase or copper

In rapeseed meals (RSM) of a conventional (c) or a newly bred (n) variety 117 or 44 mmol glucosinolates and glucosinolate degradation products per kg dry matter were detected. Soaking meals in aqueous myrosinase or copper sulphate solution and subsequent drying reduced the content of antinutrients by more than 90%. Broiler chickens were fed (i) a glucosinolate-free diet, or this diet in which half the soybean meal was replaced by RSM of various origins and treatment; (ii) untreated cRSM; (iii) cRSM treated with myrosinase: (iv) cRSM treated with Cu (v) untreated nRSM; or (vi) nRSM treated with myrosinase. These diets were administered with or without supplementary iodine. Chickens receiving the iodine-deficient diets with myrosinase-treated RSM showed growth depression, incomplete feathering, leg injuries and severe goitre. In the serum T⁴ could not be detected. Giving myrosinase-treated RSM plus iodine, or giving other RSM diets irrespective of iodine administration, no growth depression was observed. RSM diets without iodine dosage markedly increased thyroid weight: there were no differences between the RSM variants. In contrast to the treatment with myrosinase, in the sera of the chickens fed on untreated RSM or RSM treated with copper T⁴ could be detected, suggesting that in iodine-deficient conditions differences in serum T⁴ concentration between RSM groups indicate a differing anti-thyroid activity. With iodine supplementation the RSM had a significant effect on thyroid weight. The largest thyroids (five-fold heavier) were in the animals with myrosinase-treated cRSM. The untreated cRSM and the nRSM trebled or doubled the thyroid weight, and the myrosinase-treated nRSM trebled it. The thyroid weight of chicks fed cRSM treated with copper did not differ significantly from the glucosinolate-free control. There was evidence that heating the myrosinase-treated RMS produced anti-thyroid compounds; these should be identified in further investigations.

草酸二甲酯加氢合成乙二醇反应的研究

在微型管式反应器中,采用Cu/SiO2催化剂,在温度190～210℃、压力1～3MPa、草酸二甲酯(DMO)与氢气的摩尔比(氢酯比)40～120、DMO空速6.0～25.0mmol/(g.h)的条件下,对DMO加氢制乙二醇的反应进行了研究。实验结果表明,高温、高压、高氢酯比和低DMO空速都能提高DMO的转化率和乙二醇的收率,但同时也增加了副产物的选择性。较适合的反应条件为:压力2MPa,温度205～210℃,氢酯比80～100,DMO空速10.0mmol/(g.h)。动力学研究表明,DMO加氢反应符合Langmuir-Hinshelwood吸附反应动力学模型,表面反应为速率控制步骤,氢气不解离吸附,由此得到了相应的动力学方程及参数。统计检验结果表明,该模型对DMO加氢反应高度适定。

A review of the linear term in the low-temperature specific heat of La2CuO4 and La2?xMxCuO4 (M = Ba, Ca, Sr)

In this report I will summarize the results of an extensive review of the low-temperature specific heat of the La-based high-temperature superconductors, withT _c between 30 and 40 K, and the related nonsuperconducting compound La₂CuO₄. There have been two previous studies by Fisheret al. [1] and Fischeret al. [2] which also reviewed the low-temperature specific heat of these materials. This work was undertaken to extend a similar study of the 90 K superconductor YBa₂Cu₃O_7– which we recently completed [3]. This review will focus exclusively on the low-temperature specific heat and will update the previous studies by including recent results.     

Advantages of high-field tokamaks for fusion reactor development

High-field designs could reduce the cost and complexity of tokamak reactors. Moreover, the certainty of achieving required plasma performance could be increased. Strong Ohmic heating could eliminate or significantly decrease auxiliary heating power requirements and high values of n_E could be obtained in modest-size plasmas. Other potential advantages are reactor operation at modest values of , capability of higher power density and wall loading, and possibility of operation with advanced fuel mixtures. Present experimental results and basic scaling relations imply that the parameterB ²a, where B is the magnetic field and a is the minor radius, may be of special importance. A superhigh-field compact ignition experiment with very high values ofB ²a (e.g.,B ²a=150 T² m) has the potential of Ohmically heating to ignition. This short-pulse device would use inertially cooled copper plate magnets. Compact engineering test reactor and/or experimental hybrid reactor designs would use steady-state, water-cooled copper magnets and provide long-pulse operation. Design concepts are also described for demonstration/commercial reactors. These devices could use high-field superconducting magnets with 7–10 T at the plasma axis.
