Reactive Adsorption of NO2 at Ambient Conditions on Iron‐Containing Polymer‐Based Porous Carbons
Authors: Bashkova Svetlana , Bandosz Teresa J. 
Published: February 2011

AbstractAdsorption of NO2 and retention of NO (the product of NO2 reduction by carbon) on iron‐containing materials prepared from polystyrenesulfonic acid‐co‐maleic acid iron salt were studied. The surface of the materials was characterized using nitrogen adsorption, XRD, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), energy‐dispersive X‐ray (EDX), and FTIR spectroscopy, and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The results showed the positive effects of the pore volume and well‐dispersed iron species (Fe2O3, FeSO4, and FeS) on the performance of carbons as NO2 adsorbents at room temperature. The retention of NO2 on the carbon surface takes place either through its reduction to NO by carbon and/or by Fe2O3, FeSO4, and FeS, or through its reaction with Fe2O3 and/or Fe(OH)3, leading to the formation of Fe(NO3)3. The retention of NO is enhanced on carbons containing iron in the form of α‐FeOOH, α‐Fe2O3, or γ‐FeOOH. The best performance was found on the carbon with α‐Fe2O3. Dispersion and the particle size of iron compounds on the carbon surface affect both the adsorption/reduction process of NO2 and the retention process of NO.
A PCR amplification method without DNA extraction
Authors: Li Hongwei , Xu Haiyue , Zhao Chunjiang , Sulaiman Yiming , Wu Changxin 
Published: February 2011

AbstractTo develop a simple and inexpensive method for direct PCR amplification of animal DNA from tissues, we optimized different components and their concentration in lysis buffer systems. Finally, we acquired the optimized buffer system composed of 10 mmol tris(hydroxymethyl)aminomethane (Tris)‐Cl (pH 8.0), 2 mmol ethylene diamine tetraacetic (EDTA) (pH 8.0), 0.2 mol NaCl and 200 μg/mL Proteinase K. Interestingly, the optimized buffer is also very effective when working with common human sample types, including blood, buccal cells and hair. The direct PCR method requires fewer reagents (Tris‐Cl, EDTA, Protease K and NaCl) and less incubation time (only 35 min). The cost of treating every sample is less than $0.02, and all steps can be completed on a thermal cycler in a 96‐well format. So, the proposed method will significantly improve high‐throughput PCR‐based molecular assays in animal systems and in common human sample types.
Negative dielectrophoresis‐based particle separation by size in a serpentine microchannel
Authors: Church Christopher , Zhu Junjie , Xuan Xiangchun 
Published: February 2011

AbstractDielectrophoresis has been widely used to focus, trap, concentrate, and sort particles in microfluidic devices. This work demonstrates a continuous separation of particles by size in a serpentine microchannel using negative dielectrophoresis. Depending on the magnitude of the turn‐induced dielectrophoretic force, particles travelling electrokinetically through a serpentine channel either migrate toward the centerline or bounce between the two sidewalls. These distinctive focusing and bouncing phenomena are utilized to implement a dielectrophoretic separation of 1 and 3 μm polystyrene particles under a DC‐biased AC electric field of 880 V/cm on average. The particle separation process in the entire microchannel is simulated by a numerical model.
The “Red Rock Fault”, Cheshire: A critical review
Authors: Challinor J. 
Published: February 2011

AbstractThe credentials of the so‐called Red Rock Fault, along the eastern border of the Cheshire Plain, and at the boundary between the Trias or Permo‐Trias on the west, and the Carboniferous rocks on the east, are examined from the published records. The conclusion reached is that the boundary probably represents an unconformity, not a fault. It may be taken to be a test case as to the authenticity of other well known and long established ‘faults’ in the structure of Britain.
New British records of Carboniferous lycopod cones
Authors: Thomas B. A.

Their geographical distributions have been widened and most have had their stratigraphical ranges extended. Comparisons are also made with the ranges of those dispersed spores which appear to be identical to the spores found in the cones.
Meander development and floodplain sedimentation: A case study from mid‐Wales
Authors: Lewin J. 
Published: February 2011

AbstractSpatial and temporal patterns of meander development and sedimentation are assessed for a meander loop on the River Rheidol. Several scales and rates of change are distinguished for which different observational approaches are helpful. The meander loop itself developed over approximately 100 years while primary high‐flow bedforms grew and migrated within the loop modifying its form. These were themselves variously dissected and embellished at intermediate discharges, but their residues are preserved as a major component of floodplain sedimentation. The characteristic and irregular pattern of point bar micro‐relief common to rivers in mid‐Wales suggests some adjustment of ideas on meander activity is required.
Syntectonic growth of garnets: Discussion of a new model proposed by M. J. de Wit
Authors: Schoneveld C. 
Published: February 2011

AbstractTextural and compositional zoning observed in paracrystalline rotated garnets, as well as the euhedral shape of some of these crystals, show that each of them has originated from a single nucleus and acted as a rigid body during subsequent growth and rotation. The alternative multiple nucleus model of de Wit (1976) is thus considered inapplicable as a general model. It is argued that even for the specific cases described by de Wit the classic single nucleus model could be applied.
