Application of Microbial Biopolymers as an Alternative Construction Binder for Earth Buildings in Underdeveloped Countries by Ilhan Chang, Minkyung Jeon, Gye-Chun Cho

“…., compressive strength) of biopolymer mixed soil blocks (i.e, both 1% xanthan gum and 1% gellan gum) satisfied the international criteria for binders used in earthen structures. Economic and market analyses have demonstrated that the biopolymer binder has high potential as a self-sufficient local construction binder for earth buildings where the usage of ordinary cement is restricted.…”

Synthesis and Experimental Validation of New PDI Inhibitors with Antiproliferative Activity by Mariateresa Badolato, Gabriele Carullo, Francesca Aiello, Antonio Garofalo

“…Besides acting as a protein folding catalyst, several evidences have suggested that PDI can bind small molecules containing, for example, a phenolic structure, which includes the estrogenic one. Increasing studies indicate that PDI is involved in both physiology and pathophysiology of cells and tissues and is involved in the survival and proliferation of different cancers. …”

Failure Analysis of Corrosion-Induced Perforation in B10 Copper-Nickel Alloy Pipelines by SONG Shuai, QIN Limin, SUN Yujiang, ZHANG Shangfeng, YANG Wenming, HE Yueyang, XU Zhigang

“…The B10 copper-nickel alloy pipeline used for seawater transportation on a certain platform was found to have corrosion perforation at the weld joint between the elbow and the flange during a shutdown inspection.In this study， the failure mechanism of corrosion perforation was analyzed using macroscopic morphology observation，scanning electron microscopy (SEM)，energy-dispersive spectroscopy (EDS)，X-ray diffraction (XRD) and metallographic examination.Results showed that “sugar cube”-like intergranular corrosion morphologies were commonly observed at the bottom of corrosion pits on the flange， in erosion-wear areas， corrosion grooves， perforated regions and at the bottom of corrosion pits on the elbow.Locally， a “stepped” exfoliation morphology was observed， where grains were progressively stripped layer by layer.The preferentially corroded grain boundaries formed a circuit， and the surrounded grains were selectively denickelized and dissolved， resulting in grain spalling.The reduced hardness and coarse columnar grain structure of the flange further decreased the material’s corrosion resistance.The corrosion perforation of the copper-nickel alloy pipeline occurred in the erosion-sensitive zones and the weld heat-affected zones with the poorest corrosion resistance.This failure was the result of the synergistic effects of erosion wear， intergranular corrosion and selective dealloying.Enhanced corrosion monitoring is recommended for similar locations in service pipelines.…”
