1. A preliminary study was made of chewing duringeating with a total of sixcows with rumen fistulas, given diets of hay or herbage. A sieving technique was used to determine the size of particles of food swallowed at intervals throughout the eating period. The number of jaw movements, number and weight of the swallowed food boluses and the time spent eating were measured with each diet.2. The mean particle size of hay contained in a bolus collected at the cardia varied between individual cows from 1602 μm to 1244 μm. Boluses swallowed in the first few minutes of eating contained particles of a larger average size than those at any other time during the meal. Also, the rate of swallowing boluses of food was much faster at the beginning of a meal and the weight of boluses smaller than at any other time. The frequency of jaw movements did not vary appreciably during a meal.3. Increasing the amount of hay given to the cows by 50 % or giving a different hay did not cause any significarlt alteration in the average size of particles of swallowed hay, and changes in the rate of swallowing boluses, or in, the rate of jaw movements and the size of boluses were not very marked.4. With a diet of herbage, boluses were swallowed rapidly and the average particle size of swallowed food was larger than that of hay. Also, there were slightly more jaw movements per min and larger boluses than with hay.5. The observations made in the study are discussed in relation to possible factors that determine the particle size of swallowed food.

Abstract Thin films of Cd were prepared by vacuum deposition onto glass plates at temperature of 45 °C and pressure of about 10-6 torr. Several good quality films of various thicknesses (15,000 ~ 28,000 Å) were made. The films were characterized by strong preferred orientation along the 002 planes parallel to the surface of the substrate, which were found to be thickness dependent. In particular, the 002, 100 and 004 peaks were many times stronger than their corresponding diffraction peaks obtained from powder specimens. Both the real and imaginary parts of the Fourier coefficients were considered for line broadening analysis. The particle size (which is also called the average size of the coherently diffracting domains in a direction perpendicular to the diffracting planes), microstrain (which is usually called the mean strain in a given direction) and faulting were determined. A systematic study for all the diffraction peaks indicates an increase of average particle size D̅ from 546 to 620 Å in the above thickness range with no apparent anisotropy for the 100, 002 and 004 directions. The microstrain, however, decreased as much as 50% in this thickness range and showed a considerable amount of anisotropy. The fault parameters α (deformation fault probability) and β (growth fault probability) decreased rather rapidly for all directions

AbstractIn this work, the synthesis of magnetite nanoparticles by two variant chemical coprecipitation methods that involve reflux and aging conditions was investigated. The influence of the synthesis conditions on particle size, morphology, magnetic properties and protein adsorption were studied. The synthesized magnetite nanoparticles showed a spherical shape with an average particle size directly influenced by the synthesis technique. Particles of average size 27 nm and 200 nm were obtained. When the coprecipitation method was used without reflux and aging, the smallest particles were obtained. Magnetite nanoparticles obtained from both methods exhibited a superparamagnetic behavior and their saturation magnetization was particle size dependent. Values of 67 and 78 emu g−1 were obtained for the 27 nm and 200 nm magnetite particles, respectively. The nanoparticles were coated with silica, aminosilane, and silica-aminosilane shell. The influence of the coating on protein absorption was studied using Bovine Serum Albumin (BSA) protein.

The work to be detailed in this paper is our development of 96.5mass%Sn-3.0mass%Ag-0.5mass%Cu fine solder particles with an average particle size of under 3um (D50), using a chemical reduction method. An evaluation was conducted on the properties of the particles. The average size of particles appeared to be under 3um with a higher yield compared to particles using the conventional gas atomization method. The melting temperature of fine solder particles using this method was its eutectic temperature, which is same as using the gas–atomized particles. 120um pitch solder bumps from the solder paste using the above mentioned fine solder particles were created on the substrate. As a result of property evaluation, it was turned out that the solder paste created a superior printing shape and coplanarity compared to the conventional paste with gas-atomized particles. In order to investigate the superior printing property generated by the paste with fine solder particles, the rheology of the paste was evaluated.It was verified that the anisotropic shape of particles has contributed to prevent the printed paste from slumping, which has resulted in the improvement of printed shape. It also shows that the filling characteristic of the paste was improved by the smaller particles and the better coplanarity was observed. The importance of finer solder particles for finer pitch assembly will be presented.

Nanoparticles of Cr2O3 were successfully obtained via hydrothermal reduction of CH3OH. The oxidant and chromium source was CrO3. The process needs no stirrer or surfactant and the CrO3 concentration was 0.83mol/L. The obtained products were loosely agglomerated Cr2O3 nanoparticles with the average size of 29 to 79 nm. Influences of reactant ratios and calcination temperatures on the specific surface area and average particle size were discussed. And the morphology of nanoparticles was investigated by use of field-emission scanning electron microscope.

Nano-sized BaTiO3 powders with narrow size distribution and the high tetragonality were attempted to synthesize by the rotary-hydrothermal process in water system, using two kinds of commercial anatase-type TiO2 (ST21/ST01) with different particle size and Ba(OH)2. The rotary-hydrothermal syntheses were done with the rotary-speed of 20 revolutions per minute at 523 K for 24 h. Highly- and mono-dispersed BaTiO3 powders were successfully synthesized by applying the rotary-hydrothermal process. For rotary-hydrothermal synthesis, it was found that the average size, tetragonality, and quality of the BaTiO3 particle strongly depended on the particle size of the starting material. In the case of using ST01 as a starting material, BaTiO3 nano-powders mainly composed of coarse-faceted particles (average particle size = ca.100 nm) with the tetragonal phase and very little lattice defects were successfully synthesized.

AbstractThrough the present study, an eco-friendly method was used to synthesize the gold nanoparticles (GNPs) by using the sodium citrate and extract of the soybean seed as reducing the agents at PH 3. X-Ray diffraction (XRD) method was used to evaluate the crystal structure of as-synthesized NPs and it’s revealed that this method leads to well crystallized GNPs. In order to determine the particle size and their distribution, field emission scanning microscopy (FE-SEM) and dynamic light scattering (DLS) were used. The results showed that, the average particle size distribution of synthesized GNPs in solutions containing of the soybean extract and 1% citrate at PH 3 is about 109.6 and 140.9 nm, respectively. Also, we find that the average size of GNPs is 40 and 33 nm from solutions of citrate and soybean extract, respectively. It was concluded that using the extract of soybean seeds as reducing agent can lead to GNPs with small size and narrow size distribution.

Spherical fine powders of tungsten oxide were prepared by emulsion evaporation method. The characteristics of the powders prepared were examined by means of TGA, XRD, SEM and image analyzer. The emulsions were prepared by vigorous mixing of aqueous phase containing tungsten ion and the organic phase containing kerosene, surfactant and paraffin oil. Precursors were made by evaporating the emulsion in the kerosene bath at 160 °C and then calcined at 650 °C. The average particle size of the tungsten oxide powders was 0.6 ㎛ and their shapes were spherical. As the HLB value of the surfactant increased and the concentration of tungsten ions decreased, the mean particle size of tungsten oxide powders decreased whereas agglomeration size increased

Two kind of polyimide/silica nanocomposites which were recorded poly(amic acid)/ silica(PAA/SiO2) and SiO2in poly(amic acid) ammonium salt(PAS/SiO2) respectively, have been prepared for different methods. The size of SiO2in PAA/SiO2and PAS/SiO2are measured by Particle size analysis and the average particle size are 377nm and 53.7nm. Transmission electron microscopy(TEM) images of PAS/ SiO2confirm that the size of particles are ranged from 40 to 80nm. The stuctures of samples have been characterized by FT-IR spectra. The thermal stability of PAA/SiO2and PAS/SiO2are studied by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and the thermal behaviors were investigated by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) in this paper. It is shown that PAA/SiO2have slightly better thermal properties than that of PAS/SiO2. The results obtained from Instron universal strength tester present the water-solube PAS/SiO2own the excellent mechanical prperties as same as PAA/SiO2.

Ferric Pyrophosphate

The effects of added ascorbic acid and particle size on iron absorption from ferric pyrophosphate were evaluated in adult women (9–10 women/study) based on erythrocyte incorporation of iron stable isotopes (57Fe or 58Fe) 14 days after administration. Three separate studies were made with test meals of iron-fortified infant cereal (5 mg iron/meal) and the results are presented as geometric means and relative bioavailability values (RBV, FeSO4 = 100%). The results of study 1 showed that iron absorption was significantly lower from ferric pyrophosphate (mean particle size 8.5 mum) than from FeSO4 in meals without ascorbic acid (0.9 vs. 2.6%, p < 0.0001, RBV 36%) and in the same meals with ascorbic acid added at a 4:1 molar ratio relative to fortification iron (2.3 vs. 9.7%, p < 0.0001, RBV 23%). Ascorbic acid increased iron absorption from ferric pyrophosphate slightly less (2.6-fold) than from FeSO4 (3.7-fold) (p < 0.05). In studies 2 and 3, RBV of ferric pyrophosphate with an average particle size of 6.7 mum and 12.5 mum was not significantly different at 52 and 42% (p > 0.05), respectively. In conclusion, the addition of ascorbic acid increased fractional iron absorption from ferric pyrophosphate significantly, but to a lesser extent than from FeSO4. Decreasing the mean particle size to 6.7 mum did not significantly increase iron absorption from ferric pyrophosphate.

A method for the synthesis of nanoparticles of the Cu-Fe bimetallic system with limited mutual solubility of the components is proposed. The synthesis method consists of a one-stage process of IR pyrolysis of precursors in the form of films obtained from a joint solution of polyacrylonitrile and hydrates-nitrates of iron and copper. The effect of the synthesis temperature on the structure formation of the nanocomposites and the phase composition of bimetallic Cu-Fe nanoparticles dispersed in the carbon matrix was studied. The analysis showed a simultaneous presence of Fe and Cu phases in nanocomposites, presumably with a low solubility of the components. The average particle size is 14-17 nm and changes insignificantly with an increase in the synthesis temperature from 400 to 700°C. An increase in the synthesis temperature to 800°C led to a broadening of the particle size distribution and the increase in the average size. The formation of complex carbon nanostructures on Cu-Fe nanoparticles is found.
