Abstract HP magnet steel is designed for use wherever high magnetic permeability or high saturation values are required. Its magnetic qualities result from careful control of sulfur and residual elements plus the special deoxidization practice, which minimizes nonmetallic inclusions. This datasheet provides information on composition, physical properties, and tensile properties. It also includes information on forming, heat treating, machining, and joining. Filing Code: CS-144.

Portland cement concretes were prepared by adding different igneous materials from west central Mexico. The results of the mechanical testing of these materials show the feasibility of employing igneous minerals to produce concretes and mortars, provided a careful control of granulometry and the geochemistry involved is attained. The mechanical performance, as well as the workability of the slurries can be managed by the convenient use of commercial additives (i.e. water reducers and aging accelerators). These results open the attractive possibility of expanding the natural sources of concrete-forming elements.

This work reports on the properties of cubic silicon carbide (3C-SiC) grown epitaxially on a patterned silicon substrate composed of squared inverted silicon pyramids (ISP). This compliant substrate prevents stacking faults, usually found at the SiC/Si interface, from reaching the surface. We investigated the effect of the size of the inverted pyramid on the epilayer quality. We noted that anti-phase boundaries (APBs) develop between adjacent faces of the pyramid and that the SiC/Si interfaces have the same polarity on both pyramid faces. The structure of the heterointerface was investigated. Moreover, due to the emergence of APB at the vertex of the pyramid, voids buried on the epilayer form. We demonstrated that careful control of the growth parameters allows modification of the height of the void and the density of APBs, improving SiC epitaxy quality.

Using double silent substitution, it is possible to generate L-cone and M-cone isolating electroretinograms (ERGs) on a CRT. A major limitation of the technique is that the depth of modulation of cone classes is limited by the restricted luminance of the phosphors and their spectral overlap. To address this problem we have ported the technique to a four-color LED Ganzfeld stimulus (Diagnosis ColorDome). This allows higher retinal illuminances, higher contrasts, and triple silent substitution. With careful control over the retinal area stimulated, we show that the same data can be recorded from both CRT and LED stimuli when luminance, size and cone contrast are kept constant. Importantly, the different temporal profiles of the two devices do not influence the ERG amplitude and phase plots. We present data over a much wider range of luminances (up to about 10000 trolands) and contrasts with the LED stimulator than previously reported with CRT screens. We conclude that the close resemblance between data obtained with an LED stimulator and with a CRT screen indicate that the differences have a purely physiological origin.

Obtaining optimal mechanical properties for highly formable ferritic stainless steel sheet requires careful control over recrystallization and texture. This is, in some cases, hampered by the slow approach to final recrystallization associated with the disappearance of deformed grains with particular orientations. The important mechanical properties for formability (e.g. the yield strength and r-value) are thus strongly dependent on the final few percent recrystallization. In this study, it has been attempted to correlate the microstructure and texture of ferritic stainless steel sheet to its mechanical properties as measured in uniaxial tension. It is shown that careful consideration of the evolution of texture and microstructure with recrystallization may explain the observed trends.

The crystallization of proteins is dependent on the careful control of numerous parameters, one of these being pH. The pH of crystallization is generally reported as that of the buffer; however, the true pH has been found to be as many as four pH units away. Measurement of pH with a meter is time-consuming and requires the reformatting of the crystallization solution. To overcome this, a high-throughput method for pH determination of buffered solutions has been developed with results comparable to those of a pH meter.

We have investigated ferrocytochrome c-induced proton ejection from reconstituted cytochrome c oxidase-containing vesicles using careful control of the number of enzyme turnovers. Ferrocytochrome c caused the appearance of protons at the vesicle exterior, and this could be abolished by using a protonophore. In addition, its decay was dependent on the permeability of the vesicle membranes to protons and the number of turnovers of the oxidase. These observations indicate that the ejection of protons was the result of genuine translocation. The possibility of this translocation occurring via a Mitchellian loop as a result of the presence of a reduced hydrogen carrier contaminating the enzyme was considered and excluded. Proton-translocating activity in this reconstituted system depended critically on the ratio of enzyme to lipid used in the reconstitution process and we propose a rationale to account for this. We conclude that our data provide strong support for the proposal that cytochrome c oxidase acts as a proton pump and that approx. 0.9 H+ is excluded per ferrocytochrome c molecule oxidized.

Flexible automation for the handling of rigid materials has been available for many years, but similar systems are not as yet available for the handling of non-rigid materials such as doughs. The properties of this type of material require careful control of gripping and manipulation forces to prevent the product from deforming out of tolerance during handling. This paper describes a computationally efficient model that has been developed for use in the planning and control of gripping and manipulation strategies for dough-like materials. In addition to describing the model and the way in which it would be used in an automated handling environment, experimental results demonstrating the accuracy of the model in predicting the behaviour of three doughs are presented.

The rate of diffusion of water vapor through wood has been studied through a comparison of the time taken for samples of various thickness to become saturated. This process is, in a sense, the converse of natural drying, and for comparative purposes is more amenable to careful control of pressure and temperature. Continuous measurements of the amount of adsorption were carried out by the use of a quartz spring balance completely enclosed in the apparatus at a constant vapor pressure.Comparative numerical values have been obtained of the rate of diffusion of water vapor through spruce (Picea canadensis) and pine (Pinus banxiana) in various directions, through heartwood and sapwood, and through samples of different lengths. The results are considered as evidence that the movement of water through wood at concentrations below the saturation point, takes place as vapor diffusion through the spaces of the wood structure due to the pressure gradient consequent on the difference of moisture content.
