In memoriam
Sadly, the odds-on Carbonado broke down in this contest.
Weekly Review: Point-to-points review: Pull on puts Evan in Heaven
To get fives grammes of diamond you may have to mine a million grammes of rock, and even then only 20 per cent of what you find will be of gem quality -- the other 80 per cent, known as either bort or carbonado, is fit only for industrial use.
The hard and the soft of it
Es decir, como consecuencia de la falta de movilidad de las largas cadenas, se producen rupturas de los enlaces en el esqueleto carbonado, por efecto de las radiaciones ionizantes.

OBITUARIES
POLLY GUNDRY continued her title chase when replacing Philip Pritchard, who had a damaged thumb, to win the restricted with Bill and Jill Tuck's Carbonado.
Point-to-point: Jefford and Gundry keep up pressure; Fun in the sun for title leaders, but Pip Jones rides a double, and Nigel Bloom bags four Fakenham winners
Estos crudos constituyen una mezcla heterogenea de hidrocarburos alifaticos y aromaticos, muchas de cuyas moleculas incluyen atomos de S unidos covalentemente a su esqueleto carbonado. Estas moleculas se encuentran preferencialmente presentes en la fraccion conocida como asfaltenos, de las cuales una de las mejor estudiadas es el dibenzotiofeno (DBT), una molecula aromatica sulfurada (Galarraga y Perez, 1991; Mc Farland, 1999).
