The crystal structures of the chiolite-related room temperature phases α-Na5M3F14 (MIII=Cr,Fe,Ga) are determined. For all of them, the space group is P21/n, Z=2; a=10.5096(3) Å, b=7.2253(2) Å, c=7.2713(2) Å, β=90.6753(7)° (M=Cr); a=10.4342(7) Å, b=7.3418(6) Å, c=7.4023(6) Å, β=90.799(5)° (M=Fe), and a=10.4052(1) Å, b=7.2251(1) Å, c=7.2689(1), β=90.6640(4)° (M=Ga). Rietveld refinements produce final RF factors 0.036, 0.033, and 0.035, and RWP factors, 0.125, 0.116, and 0.096, for MIII=Cr, Fe, and Ga, respectively. The MF6 polyhedra in the defective isolated perovskite-like layers deviate very few from perfect octahedra. Subtle octahedra tiltings lead to the symmetry decrease from the P4/mnc space group adopted by the Na5Al3F14 chiolite aristotype to the P21/n space group adopted by the title series. Facile twinning precluded till now the precise characterization of these compounds.

The Difference

Different procedures used in precision measurements of lattice parameters are, strictly, only valid if they can be shown to give results that are mutually reproducible. For this purpose reproducibility is defined in terms of the parameters a. and standard deviations a. obtained for X-ray specimens of one or more reference materials. The requirement is that all systematic errors should be minimized to a level below that of the random measurement errors. Where these have a Gaussian distribution the significance of the difference, Δa°, between two , measurements can then be Let;Led by evaluating . Thus, if K < 2 the difference, Δa°, cannot be distinguished from the effects of random measurement errors. This condition should be met for specimens of the same sample if reproducibility is good. For K ≥ 3 the value of Δa° is then taken to reflect real differences in the crystalline Jattice of two X-ray specimens of a given compound. A basis is thus created for the study of solid solubility and for the precise characterization of crystalline compounds.

Measured Specific Heat

One way of estimating thermal conductivity is to measure the temperature history for transient conduction. Unfortunately, the property estimated is usually not the conductivity but the thermal diffusivity, α = k/ρcp. While α can often be estimated with good precision, and ρ is usually well defined, the specific heat is often poorly known. As a consequence the uncertainty in the conductivity can be large. This paper reports the use of a calorimeter designed to measure the specific heat with high accuracy. The accuracy depends upon a precise characterization of the thermal performance of the calorimeter. Even when much care is taken, the calorimeter's behavior introduces uncertainty in the measured specific heat. The effects of these uncertainties are accounted for by using Bayesian inference to estimate the confidence intervals of the specific heat.

Abstract In linguistics, the dominant approach to the semantics of plurals appeals to mereology. However, this approach has received strong criticisms from philosophical logicians who subscribe to an alternative framework based on plural logic. In the first part of the article, we offer a precise characterization of the mereological approach and the semantic background in which the debate can be meaningfully reconstructed. In the second part, we deal with the criticisms and assess their logical, linguistic, and philosophical significance. We identify four main objections and show how each can be addressed. Finally, we compare the strengths and shortcomings of the mereological approach and plural logic. Our conclusion is that the former remains a viable and well-motivated framework for the analysis of plurals.
