Random information on the term “Abrasive tool”:
Diamond is a solid form of the element carbon with its atoms arranged in a crystal structure called diamond cubic. Another solid form of carbon known as graphite is the chemically stable form of carbon at room temperature and pressure, but diamond is metastable and converts to it at a negligible rate under those conditions. Diamond has the highest hardness and thermal conductivity of any natural material, properties that are used in major industrial applications such as cutting and polishing tools. They are also the reason that diamond anvil cells can subject materials to pressures found deep in the Earth.
Because the arrangement of atoms in diamond is extremely rigid, few types of impurity can contaminate it (two exceptions are boron and nitrogen). Small numbers of defects or impurities (about one per million of lattice atoms) color diamond blue (boron), yellow (nitrogen), brown (defects), green (radiation exposure), purple, pink, orange, or red. Diamond also has a very high refractive index and a relatively high optical dispersion.
Random information on the term “RASP”:
Reactive aldehyde species (RASP), also known as reactive aldehydes, refer to a class of electrophilic organic aldehyde molecules that are generally toxic or facilitate inflammation. RASP covalently react with amine groups (via Schiff base formation) and thiol groups (via Michael addition), particularly in proteins. Following threshold amounts of binding to the electrophile-responsive proteome, RASP modify protein function, as has been described with MAP kinase, protein kinase C, and other proteins that potentiate cytokine release and other aspects of inflammation. Binding of RASP to proteins can also lead to NF-kB activation, autoantibody formation, inflammasome activation, and activation of Scavenger Receptor A. RASP are formed via a variety of processes, including oxidation of alcohols, polyamine metabolism and lipid peroxidation. In addition to binding to proteins and other amine or thiol-containing molecules such as glutathione, RASP are metabolized by aldehyde dehydrogenases or aldehyde reductases. Due to the toxicity of RASP, only a small number of genetic mutations in aldehyde dehydrogenases allow for viable offspring, resulting in Sjögren-Larsson Syndrome, Succinic Semi-Aldehyde Dehydrogenase Deficiency, and other rare diseases.
