TL;DR: In this paper, hollow mesoporous carbon spheres with controllable diameters have been fabricated from core-shell structured meso-structural silica sphere templates using chemical vapor deposition (CVD).
Abstract: Hollow mesoporous carbon spheres with controllable diameters have been fabricated from core–shell structured mesoporous silica sphere templates using chemical vapor deposition (CVD). By controlling the thickness of the silica shell, hollow carbon spheres with different diameters are obtained. The use of ethylene as the carbon precursor produces mesoporous graphitic hollow carbon spheres. The hollow carbon spheres have a relatively large degree of graphitization together with good meso-structural order and high specific surface area of 771 m2/g. The mechanism governing the formation of the hollow spheres is studied, and the importance of the surfactant (CTAB) is also clarified. CTAB accelerates the carbon deposition process, thus improving the product yield. These hollow carbon spheres that have good electrochemical properties are suitable for lithium ion batteries.

TL;DR: In this paper, a mean reverting jump diffusion model was proposed to model spot electricity prices and fit the model to data from the Nord Pool power exchange and find that it nearly duplicates the spot price's main characteristics.
Abstract: In this paper we address the issue of modeling spot electricity prices. After analyzing factors leading to the unobservable in other financial or commodity markets price dynamics we propose a mean reverting jump diffusion model. We fit the model to data from the Nord Pool power exchange and find that it nearly duplicates the spot price’s main characteristics. The model can thus be used for risk management and pricing derivatives written on the spot electricity price.

TL;DR: Fish bones had the highest concentration of released P2O5 and the highest total concentration of produced organic acids (gluconic, lactic, acetic, succinic, and propionic) in all discussed cases and the combination of Bacillus megaterium with the fish bones at 5 g/L is proposed as the pair that gives the highest concentrations of released phosphorus.
Abstract: Microbial solubilization applies the natural ability of a microorganism to liberate phosphorus from unavailable structures. The main mechanism recognized to be responsible for the solubilization of phosphorus is the production of different types of organic acids. Three kinds of Bacillus species and three types of raw materials (poultry bones, fish bones, and ash) were tested for solubilization. The following parameters were compared for all discussed cases: pH, specific growth rate, solubilization factor, released phosphorus concentration, and total and individual concentration of organic acids. Utilization of ash brought about the highest specific and maximum specific growth rates. A decrease in pH was observed in most of the discussed cases with the exception of fish bones. At the same time, fish bones had the highest concentration of released P₂O₅ and the highest total concentration of produced organic acids (gluconic, lactic, acetic, succinic, and propionic) in all discussed cases. The tested Bacillus species produced the mentioned acids with the exception of B. megaterium, where propionic acid was not present. The lactic and acetic acids were those produced in the highest amount. The kind of raw materials and type of Bacillus species used in solubilization had a strong influence on the kind of organic acids that were detected in the broth culture and its total concentration, which had a direct influence on the amount of released phosphorus. The combination of Bacillus megaterium with the fish bones at 5 g/L is proposed as the pair that gives the highest concentration of released phosphorus (483 ± 5 mg/L).

TL;DR: It is suggested that the dominating mechanism of particle generation for metal-on-metal joints is surface fatigue within a nanocrystalline surface layer.
Abstract: To control and minimize wear of metal-on-metal hip joints it is essential to understand the mechanisms of debris generation. In vivo, mainly nanosize globular and needle-shaped particles are found. These can neither stem from the action of abrasion nor from tribochemical reactions. In this study the acting wear mechanisms have been first identified on the surface by means of scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Afterwards, the microstructures of the subsurface regions of explants have been investigated using a transmission electron microscope (TEM). Observation of the subsurface gave additional insight about the microstructural changes of cobalt-base alloys subjected to wear. At some distance from the surface, a network of stacking faults and hexagonal ϵ-martensite was found strengthening the bulk material. This microstructure changed into a nanocrystalline type moving closer towards the surface. A comparison of in vivo debris size and grain size of the surface suggests that the globular wear particles result from torn off nanocrystals, while the needle shaped particles are generated by fractured ϵ-martensite. Identified cracks, propagating through the nanocrystalline layer, further support these findings. Thus, it is suggested that the dominating mechanism of particle generation for metal-on-metal joints is surface fatigue within a nanocrystalline surface layer. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
