Samples of silicon nitride containing high concentrations of the N14 and N15 isotopes of nitrogen were prepared by reacting compressed pellets of powdered silicon with nitrogen gas in an induction heated vacuum furnace. The condensation coefficient, beta, of these materials was evaluated by a nitrogen isotope exchange technique in a Knudsen type effusion apparatus attached to a time-of-flight mass spectrometer. The condensation coefficient was determined to decrease linearly with increasing temperature, and was evaluated in the temperature range 1625K to 1710K as beta x 1000 = 20.26 - 9.4 x 0.001T where T is the temperature in degrees K. The vaporization of silicon nitride proceeds by a mechanism which depletes the interior of the solid in nitrogen, leaves a thin coating of 'stoichiometric' silicon nitride on the surface, and decreases the apparent density of the solid.

Rationalism and mind-body dualism are major themse in canonical Western philosophy. However, both these themes are problematic from a feminist philosophical perspective. I argue for two interrelated claims. First, canonical Western philosophy provides the conceptual props for dysfucntionalities such as anorexia nervosa. Second, since recovery from anorexia requires a change in fundamental beliefs and attitudes concerning personhood, canonical notions of rationalism, mind, body and self need to be re-thought and replaced in order for recovery from anorexia to be fully successful.

Jasmine is on the not-it list when it comes to relationships.A fling here and there? Definitely.But full blown commitment? No way in hell.Dealing with a man full-time is just not worth the trouble when you can get what you want and get away like it never happened.That was the plan when she met Rich, a good and worthy fling, but exactly that...a fling. Until the cravings start.And Jasmine is forced into a whole new realm of life when she least expected it.
