This work is a contribution to improve the knowledge about mineralogy, fabric, chemistry and technology of the “schist”, in order to promote its exploitation and use as a natural stone.
The geological structure, the intensity of deformation, the degree of metamorphism and the state of fracturing of the rock mass are important to determine exploitability and profitability of an exploitation of this material.
The GTMZ and CIZ were structured by a succession of three phases of Variscan deformation: D1, D2 and D3 [5, 6].
The geological and structural mapping of the selected sites was realized with identification of major ductile and brittle structures with possible influence on the mechanical behaviour of “schist” that can restrict its use as a natural stone.
A study in Tanha region showed a similar structure to the one identified in the work carried at Poio [16], which suggests an important axis ENE-WSW where the regional structure is favourable to the exploitation of natural stone in new sites.

Effect of Substrate Temperature on Structure and Mechanical Properties of ZrN Coatings Zhengbing Qi1,a, Ruoxuan Huang1,b, Fangping Zhu1,c, Peng Sun1,d, Zhoucheng Wang1,e* 1 College of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering, Xiamen University, Xiamen, China azbqi_xmu@126.com, bhrx0330@yahoo.com.cn, czfp0307@yahoo.com.cn, dsunpeng312@hotmail.com, e*zcwang@xmu.edu.cn Keywords: ZrN; coating; substrate temperature; orientation; mechanical properties.
From 50 to 450, the coatings showed columnar structure, and at 600 the columnar disappeared, presenting equiaxed structure instead.
The crystal structure of ZrN coatings were investigated by X-ray diffraction XRD (Philips, Netherlands).
It is revealed that all the coatings have a NaCl structure and both (200) and (111) peaks coexist.
However, when Ts reaches 600, the columnar structure disappeared, replaced by an equiaxed structure, with a decreasing of the grain size.

The structure of defective tubes in ground state is considered, the role of effects related to finite sizes of a model is evaluated.

These give us a suggestion that the film structures have FCC structural features as well as a few of HCP local structures.
As the quenching temperature is decreased, these ordered local structures can stably exist.
Most atoms in this film can form FCC local structures as well as some HCP local structures.
At a lower quenched temperature, after some local icosahedral(Ih) structures are nucleated, there exist transformation from Ih structures to FCC and HCP structures.

Numerical simulation of the effects of baffle on flow field in a stirred tank Zongrui Hao1, a, Juan Xu1, b, Haiyan Bie2, c Zhonghai Zhou1 1 Institute of Oceanographic Instrument of Shandong Academy of Science, Qingdao, 266001, China 2 College of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering of Ocean University of China, Qingdao, 266100, China ahaozr001@sina.com, bxujuan101066@163.com, csalany001@163.com Keywords: Numerical simulation, Stirred tank, Flow field, Baffle Abstract.
Flow characteristics of stirred tanks with different structures were calculated by taking RNG k-ε model as the turbulent flow model.
With the numerical simulation method, the flow fields in stirred tank with different structures were studied to get the detailed flow field information.
It can be seen that, with the speed higher, the vortices near the blade increased to form vortex structures of different strength, which gradually wrapped the entire blades.

So, it is very important reference for the design and select material of mechanical structure and configuration.
So, only under �<�s, the plastic rupture is not happened, and the engineering structure can working normally.
The critical damage variable can forecast the residual lifecycle of mechanical structure and prevent the paroxysmal accident.

Antibacterial Activities of Zinc Oxide Nanostructures with Different Structures Rolen Brian P.
We report on antibacterial activities of Zinc oxide (ZnO) with different structures.
Nanorods exhibit a better antibacterial response than the sea-urchin like structure.
Clearly, from these results, two types of structures of ZnO - nanorods and sea urchin-like nanotructures.
This means that the nanorods have more ZnO purity than the sea urchin-like structures.

The aim of this work was to both orient the crystals as well as fill the structure with hydroxyl ions for further increasing the surface electrical potential.
Cell behaviour depends on the surface chemistry, topography and energy.
FTIR results showed that coatings subjected to water vapour contain more OH- ions in the structure compared to the conventional coatings (Fig 3-a).
Kelvin probe AFM measurements showed that hydroxyapatite coating with more OH- ions in the structure possessed a higher surface electric potential (Fig 3-b).
Surface electric potential increases with a higher amount of OH- ions in the HA structure.
