Aging of a nanostructured Zn50Se50 alloy produced by mechanical alloying
The aging of a nanocrystalline equiatomic ZnSe alloy produced by mechanical
alloying was investigated using X-ray diffraction (XRD) and differential
scanning calorimetry (DSC) techniques. The measured XRD patterns showed that Se
atoms located at interfacial component migrated with aging giving raise to a
crystalline selenium (c-Se) phase. DSC spectra of heat-treated samples at
temperatures above 221oC followed by quenching showed that the c-Se particles
changed to the amorphous state. It was also observed that the as-milled and
aged samples are highly hydrophilic. The lattice parameters and the average
crystallite sizes were calculated as a function of time of aging and
temperature of heat treatment.Comment: Submitted to Solid State Communications, 4 figure
Influência da precipitação na qualidade da água do Rio Purus Impacts of precipitation on the water quality of the Purus River
Os impactos da precipitação na qualidade da água ao longo do rio Purus, localizado no estado do Amazonas, foi investigado por meio de dados de precipitação, estimada por satélites, e informações sobre a temperatura da água, condutividade, pH, turbidez, oxigênio dissolvido e sólidos suspensos totais, adquiridas em quatro diferentes áreas ao longo do rio. Os resultados mostraram correlação negativa entre precipitação e turbidez e positiva entre precipitação e temperatura, condutividade, oxigênio dissolvido, sólidos suspensos totais e pH. O uso do solo, juntamente com o regime de precipitação, parecem ser os fatores principais que determinam a qualidade da água nos pontos de amostragem.<br>The impacts of precipitation on the water quality along the Purus River, located in the Brazilian State of the Amazonas, was investigated using data of precipitation estimated by satellite and information about water temperature, conductivity, pH, turbidity, dissolved oxygen and total suspended solids. The data were acquired in four different areas along the river. The results showed negative correlation between precipitation and turbidity. They also showed positive correlation between precipitation and temperature, conductivity, dissolved oxygen, total suspended solids and pH. The land use together with the rainfall regime seems to be the main sources of impact on the water quality around the sampling places
