Abstract:

This thesis is about the molecular structure of minerals, their surface modification and the dispersion of selected minerals of a ceramic nature as sols and gels. The theme that permeates through this work and connects the different elements of the work is the search for fundamental knowledge and understanding of mineral structure and mineral surface structure. The underlying principal is that of molecular structure of surfaces and the changes in that molecular structure through modification of the surfaces. There are seven research divisions of study reported in this thesis: (A) Molecu

Abstract:

Aim: To evaluate the effect of various environmental (clinical) conditions on the physical and chemical characteristics of Mineral Trioxide Aggregate (MTA). Methodology: Initially preparation of specimens was standardised. Moreover, a novel mixing technique, trituration of encapsulated MTA, was developed. The effects of acid and blood contamination on various characteristics of MTA including compressive strength, surface microhardness, push-out bond strength and total porosity were then evaluated. Furthermore, by using X-ray diffraction analysis the hydration process of blood contaminated MTA

Abstract:

Osteoporosis is a major health problem that can be mitigated by accurate prediction of future risk for bone fractures. Bone mineral density (BMD) testing can be conducted to assess people's risk of fracture, but its value rests on the ability to provide risk information effectively to those individuals who have low BMD; those individuals must then be willing to initiate and maintain recommended lifestyle behaviours and medications. This study assessed the influence of low BMD results and direct-to-participant feedback of results on awareness of diagnosis, information seeking about osteoporosis

Abstract:

Feedlot cattle are subjected to numerous stresses that impede on their growth performance and carcass quality. Stress also depletes the animal body with its nutrients subsequently leading to deficiencies. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of selenium (Se) and chromium (Cr) on stress and subsequently on growth performance, carcass characteristics including meat colour and liver tissue minerals. It is thought that Se, as anti-oxidant and Cr effectiveness in glucose metabolism might be effective on these production parameters. Four experiments were conducted for that purpose. Th

Abstract:

The loss of bone mineral density (BMD) plays a major role in the increased incidence of osteoporosis in aging women and, consequently, strategies to maintain BMD are critical to quality of life for these women. The role of vitamin D in the accrual and maintenance of bone mineral and its relationship to the incidence and severity of osteoporosis is not well understood. By measuring serum and intake levels this study investigates the relationship of vitamin D to baseline BMD and changes in regional and total body BMD over 1 y. The role of sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG) is also investigated.

Borosilicates are oxygen-bearing boron minerals in which SiO₄ tetrahedra form an important structural component. They represent widespread constituents of rocks originating in the Earth’s crust and commonly provide insight into the rock-forming processes. Important borosilicates include tourmaline, axinite, werdingite, boralsilite, dumortierite, holtite, howlite, and grandidierite. Tourmaline is the most widespread borosilicate mineral and it can be used to study a wide variety of geological processes based on its high compositional variability.

The crystal structures of the related minerals triploidite (Mn2PO4OH) and zwieselite (Fe2PO4OH) are discussed. Order-disorder of OH- and F- in these structures is discussed using the results of new crystal structure refinements, and correlation with the results of Raman spectroscopic study in the hydroxyl stretching region. Cryogenic crystal structure refinement of triploidite allowed the distinction of separate OH- and F- sites in the mineral.A new mineral, natural AsSbO3, has been found at Tsumeb, Namibia. Its occurrence has implications on the closing stage of ore formation at this mine.

Abstract:

Acid leaching of different natural chrysocolla samples under ambient conditions demonstrated that the chemical and chrystallographic inhomogenity significantly affects the rate and that it is virtually impossible to use the mineral as a model for the kinetics of hydrometallurgical processing of copper ores.Dissolution experiments, stability diagrams,and X-ray powder diffraction studies are undertaken and studied in this research and results are given.It is found that a complete solid solution series exists in Nature with most tungstenian wulfenites and molybdenum stolzites containing a range o

Abstract:

A study was conducted on three natural mineral materials referred to as basalt, scoria, and calcined shale. These materials were provided by an industrial mineral producer in British Columbia. The main objectives of this study are, to evaluate the selected materials for treatment of metal contaminated effluents by adsorption, and to assess the possibility of replacing cement with the materials and to evaluate the performance of the cement replaced mortars. In this research study, adsorption tests were conducted to asses the possibility of removing cationic and anionic metal ions from prepared

Abstract:

Humic substances, such as the closely related humic and fulvic acids are ubiquitous, naturally occurring organic macromolecules of complex but undefined structure. These compounds are known complexing agents due to their supramolecular like structures and are capable of binding a wide variety of compounds. Numerous studies have confirmed that humic and fulvic acids exhibit diverse medicinal and therapeutic properties. For this reason, alternative or “natural” medicinal preparations rich in these substances are being self-administered, often concomitantly with conventional drugs. The possibili

Abstract:

博士<br>國立中興大學<br>土壤環境科學系所<br>102<br>Most studies of humic substances (HSs) been carried out on extracts of soils in dilute sodium hydroxide solutions, i.e., the isolation of the International Humic Substances Society (IHSS). However, humin, is insoluble in aqueous base. Recently, a sequential exhaustive extraction (SEE) process has been shown to be capable of isolating and separating the major components of the classically defined HSs from soils of the temperate and tropical regions. The SEE system was used to isolate the HA/FA and humin fractions from a subtropical volcanic Taiwanese soil. Inc
