Nitrogen-rich layer

A smaller factor in ozone depletion is the rising levels of N2O in the atmosphere from combustion and the use of nitrogen-rich fertilizers, since they ate the sources of NO in the stratosphere that can destroy ozone catalyticaHy. Another concern in the depletion of ozone layer, under study by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), is a proposed fleet of supersonic aircraft that can inject additional nitrogen oxides, as weU as sulfur dioxide and moisture, into the stratosphere via their exhaust gases (155). Although sulfate aerosols can suppress the amount of nitrogen oxides in the stratosphere... 

Fig. 5.13. Time evolution of the chemical profile of a 40 Mq star that becomes a Wolf-Rayet star as a result of the outer layers peeling off in stellar winds. The spectrum evolves from type O to type B to a red supergiant (RSG) and then back to a blue supergiant (BSG) and towards increasing effective temperatures ending up well to the left of the main sequence. The chemically modified spectrum evolves from nitrogen-rich late, i.e. relatively cool (WNL), to nitrogen-rich early (WNE) to carbon-rich (WC) in some cases still hotter stars are observed that are oxygen-rich (WO). After Maeder and Meynet (1987).

Next, the removal of any suspected contaminants—such as carbohydrates (e.g., glucose), free amino acids, nucleotides and so on—can be accomplished by the procedure of Wells and Dittmer (1963). The lipid sample, dissolved in a mixture of chloroform-methanol-water (60 30 4.5, v/v), is passed through a previously washed column of Sephadex G-25, the effluent is collected and saved, and the column is then washed with a mixture of chloroform-methanol (2 1, v/v). The second eluent is collected and combined with the first and will contain all the phospholipid, free of contaminants. The two eluates are combined, phased by the addition of water, and then the chloroform-rich layer is removed and evaporated to dryness under nitrogen. The residue is dissolved in chloroform-methanol (2 1, v/v) and made to volume in a glass-stoppered volumetric flask. 

DRIFT data for Si3N4 powders always included bands due to vSiFI.432 High-pressure Raman spectroscopy was used to follow phase transitions in ceramic silicon nitride.433 IR spectra of nitrogen-rich silicon nitride films show that v SiN shifts to higher wavenumber with increased N-FI concentration.434 FTIR spectroscopy was used to characterise SixOyNz layers formed by sequential implantation of 02+ and N2+ into crystalline n-type silicon.435,436... 

Miners blasted open the veins of caliche and carried loads of the rock to refining plants. There it was crushed and soaked in water to extract the nitrogen-containing mineral, sodium nitrate. When the water in turn evaporated, it left behind a layer of brown, nitrogen-rich powder. Poured into two-hundred-pound sacks, it was ready for the long voyage northward. 

The significance for EHes is that the surface layers of the product should consist primarily of CNO-processed helium, with some contamination by residual hydrogen from the surface layers of the original white dwarfs. The models can reproduce the observed, mass, radius, luminosity, pulsation period (and P), and surface composition for the EHe star V652Her with remarkable success [183, 184]. The models also anticipate a population of helium- and nitrogen-rich subdwarf O and B stars ... 

Another process likely to occur is calcite precipitation, when pH and calcium concentration are both high. The NOM then adsorbs on the calcite surface. Suess (1973a, 1973b) measured the selective adsorption of organics onto calcite and mentioned the possibility of h] drated organo-calcium complexes on calcite surfaces. He described the thick layer of organics on the calcite surface as nitrogen-rich, possibly protein-like substances. 

The data presented suggest that the primary chemical weathering process occurs by the reaction of SO2, either in gaseous form or dissolved in rain-water, with the limestone surface. This leads to a build up of sulphur rich layer at the surface which is shown to be predominantly S04 ". A more detailed study of this reaction mechanism should allow identification of reaction intermediates such as SO3. The formation of chlorine and nitrogen compounds appears to be a secondary process for the samples studied. The data presented and the results of the experiment described in section 5 suggest that subsequent dissolution of sulphate, by rain-water, is a significant part of the weathering mechanism. 

Aeration of the hypolimnion (lower, colder layer of water in a stratified lake) without disruption of stratification has been used in deep lakes. This has the advantage of not increasing the temperature of the hypolimnion and prevents the advection of nutrient-rich water into the epilimnion (upper, warmer layer of water in a stratified lake). Oxygen injection is preferred in order to prevent the build up of nitrogen super-saturation which is toxic to fish. "...
