Abstract

Parasitoid Wasp Genomes Parasitoid wasps, which prey on and reproduce in host insect species, play important roles in plant herbivore interactions, and may provide valuable tools in the biological control of pest species. The Nasonia Genome Working Group (p. 343 ; see the news story by Pennisi ) presents the genome of three very closely related species: Nasonia vitripennis, N. giraulti , and N. longicornis . The findings document rapid evolution between a host and endosymbiont that can cause nuclear-cytoplasmic incompatibilities that may affect speciation.

Abstract

Biomorphic silicon carbide ceramics are a new class of materials fabricated by reactive infiltration of molten silicon with carbonaceus preforms obtained from wood pyrolysis. The resulting material is a Si/SiC composite, in which the SiC forms a skeleton that replicates the wood microstructure with unreacted Si filling the pores. The silicon can be removed from the composite creating a highly porous SiC material that can be refilled with other products, like metal alloys, to create ceramic/metal composites.

Abstract

The microstructures of beech wood and of beech wood-derived carbon, silicon carbide (SiC), and an aluminum/SiC composite were studied using both scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and synchrotron X-ray micro-computed tomography (µCT). As opposed to traditional two-dimensional imaging techniques, the µCT data allowed nondestructive evaluation of relatively large sample volumes. Nondestructive three-dimensional data analysis led to the observation of microstructural features, such as varying pore-wall topographies not previously seen in SEM, calculations of the volume fraction of porosity and characterization of the interconnectivity of porosity in the SiC material.

Abstract

The mechanical behavior [i.e., stiffness, strength, and toughness (KIC)] of SiC Al-Si-Mg metal-ceramic composites (50:50 by volume) was studied at temperatures ranging from 25 to 500 °C. The SiC phase was derived from wood precursors, which resulted in an interconnected anisotropic ceramic that constrained the pressure melt-infiltrated aluminum alloy. The composites were made using SiC derived from two woods (sapele and beech) and were studied in three orthogonal orientations. The mechanical properties and corresponding deformation micromechanisms were different in the longitudinal (LO) and transverse directions, but the influence of the precursor wood was small. The LO behavior was controlled by the rigid SiC preform and the load transfer from the metal to the ceramic. Moduli in this orientation were lower than the Halpin-Tsai predictions due to the nonlinear and nonparallel nature of the Al-filled pores. The LO KIC agreed with the Ashby model for the KIC contribution of ductile inclusions in a brittle ceramic. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
