By magnetic and 0, quenching one can obtain the Ps lifetime values for B-cage and supercage in NaY zeolite structures, namely 2. In developing a reproducible way to load semiconductor dots into the accessible void spaces of zeolite host lattices, the direct information of the occupancy of different cages in a zeolite is important.

As one of sensitive microprobe of voids on nanometer scale, positron annihilation has been used to characterize zeolite-based materialsC2-e1. In zeolite materials positrons can be slowed down internally and form para-or otho-positronium p-Ps,o-Ps.

In this paper we report on the results of positron annihilation in ion-exchanged zeolite Y and CdS loaded zeolite Y. We found that T a is responsible to Ps annililation in 0-cage and positron annihilation may be a very interesting technique to characterize intrazeolite materiala.

The NaY powders were soaked i n Cd N08 , solution of different concentrations. The pH values of the solutions were adjusted to 6. The concentrations were selected i n that way so that the ratio of the total amounts of Cd N08 , in the solutions over the weights of NaY zeolite powders are 0.

After being pre-heated, the powders were sintered at 4OOC in O1 for 12 hours. In order to load CdS molecules into the zeolite cages, gaseous H2S was used. Moreover, the number of players that can play this role-playing game range from one to a maximum of five.

Appendix A has character backgrounds, whereas A ppendix B has a list of random encounters. App endix C and a ppendix D has a list of monsters, NPCs and information on where you can discover magical items is mentioned in.

They rarely meet with visitors who show up unannounced at their homes.

During the day, each merchant prince has a l-in-6 chance to be at Goldenthrone, accompanied by a retinue of aides and guards. Characters must wait ld3 hours before being given an audience. In fact, the mer- chant princes have few day-to-day responsibilities when it comes to running Port Nyanzaru, so unless a meeting is being held to discuss city business, the delay is just a tactic to underscore who's in charge.

If the characters have interesting news, they're likely to obtain an audi- ence and to be given as much of the merchant's time as they need. These residences have beautifully plastered walls adorned with bright murals, patios and arcades fes- tooned with fresh flowers, garden courtyards open to the sky, and enormous cisterns equipped with water wheels to power fountains, fans, and kinetic sculptures.

None of the merchant princes is likely to meet player characters who show up unannounced at their doors unless the characters did something noteworthy such as winning a dinosaur race, stopping a rampaging carni- vore, or completing an expedition that made significant tunity for bystanders to become heroes in the city and discoveries.

A deity devoted to revealing the truth might seem to have a weak draw in a city of merchants, but Savras was widely worshiped in Chult long before the Spellplague. In those years, Savras's clergy were valued because they could keep tabs on the activities of the inscrutable yuan-ti.

The snake people still loom large as bogeymen in the imaginations of Chultans, but nowadays the clergy of Savras series into more mundane matters: por- tents around business affairs, the outlook for newborn children, and affairs of the heart. When the characters meet the priest for the first time, he's in the midst of a heated conversation with three members of the Zhen- tarim NE male Tethyrian human assassins who are looking for Artus Clmber.

The Zhents have come to the temple to see if Zitembe can cast a spell to aid in their search. Although the assassins offer payment in the form of a gp ruby, Zitembe senses their evil inten- tions and shoos them away.

The assassins seem hesi- tant to leave without satisfaction, but the arrival of the characters changes their minds, and they depart with scowls on their faces. The characters' timely arrival makes Zitembe predisposed to help them.

If he's approached for aid or advice in tracking down the Soul monger, Zitembe's first reaction is to express offered friendly advice on how to improve their presen- disbelief that the death curse has anything to do with tation; and those who score 9 or less are greeted with Chult.
