TL;DR: Silicon polymers were pyrolyzed to form silicon oxycarbides that contained only silicon, oxygen, and carbon, and NMR showed that the polymers had a silicon-oxygen backbone with branching and ring units as discussed by the authors.
Abstract: Silicone polymers were pyrolyzed to form silicon oxycarbides that contained only silicon, oxygen, and carbon. The starting polymers were mainly methyl trichlorosilane with a small amount of dimethyl dichlorosilane. NMR showed that the polymers had a silicon-oxygen backbone with branching and ring units. When the polymer was heated in hydrogen, toluene and isopropyl alcohol, used in production of the polymer, were given off in the temperature range 150 °C to 500 °C. Substantial decomposition of the polymer itself began only above about 700°by evolution of methane. The network of silicon-oxygen bonds and silicon-carbon bonds did not react and was preserved; the silicon-carbon bonds were linked into the silicon-oxygen network. The silicon oxycarbide was stable above 1000 °C, showing no dimensional changes above this temperature. The interior of the silicon oxycarbide was at very low effective oxygen pressure because oxygen diffused slowly in it. There was also a protective layer of silicon dioxide on the surface of the silicon oxycarbide.

TL;DR: It is apparent that aerobic bacteria can degrade a broader spectrum of PCB congeners than previously believed and that this broad spectrum of degradative competence can exist in a single strain.
Abstract: Congeners of polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) differ in the number and position of chlorine substituents. Although PCBs are degraded, those congoners with five or more chlorines have been considered resistant to bacterial degradation. Metabolism byPseudomonas strain LB400 of PCBs representing a broad spectrum of chlorination patterns and having from two to six chlorines was investigated. Degradation of pure PCB congeners and synthetic congener mixes was measured in resting cell assays with biphenyl- or Luria broth-grown cells. In addition, the appearance of metabolites was followed using HPLC purification, and GC and GC-MS characterization. 2,4,5,2′,4′,5′-[14C]hexachlorobiphenyl was also used to follow the accumulation of14C-labeled metabolites. Evidence indicates that LB400 aerobically metabolizes representatives of all major structural classes of PCB's including several congeners which lack adjacent unchlorinated carbon atoms. The mechanisms by which many of these congeners are degraded are not fully understood, but it is apparent that aerobic bacteria can degrade a broader spectrum of PCB congeners than previously believed and that this broad spectrum of degradative competence can exist in a single strain.

TL;DR: In this article, the ternary Co-Al-W system has been investigated with ordered L12 precipitates and two phase γ-γ′ microstructures have been established.
Abstract: New cobalt-based alloys containing ordered L12 precipitates have been investigated. With additions of Cr, Mo, Ni, Re, Ta, and V to the ternary Co-Al-W system, two phase γ-γ′ microstructures have been established. Solidus and liquidus temperatures are 100°C–150°C higher than advanced nickel-based single-crystal alloys strengthened with the L12 phase. An anomalous rise in flow stress with temperature is observed. Single crystals have been solidified and partitioning during solidification is limited in the ternary system, suggesting a high resistance to convective instabilities. Oxidation at 900°C results in the formation of cobalt oxide. Following oxidation, an inner layer of Al2O3 is observed in uncoated Cr-containing alloys and Cr2O3 is observed in alloys subjected to chromization.

TL;DR: In this paper, the use of the Kramers-Kronig relation in the analysis of reflectance data is discussed briefly, and the recent results of Walker and Osantowski for diamond are reanalyzed and found to be in some error.
Abstract: The use of the Kramers-Kronig relation in the analysis of reflectance data is discussed briefly. The recent results of Walker and Osantowski for diamond are reanalyzed and found to be in some error. New data are presented which appear more consistent with the expected optical behavior of diamond.
