Abstract Production of a ZnO–rGO composite, using novel one-pot method consisting in continuously flowing argon into GO aqueous suspension heated at 80 °C, the presence galvanized iron steel scrap is presented. FTIR shows complete disappearance functional groups and only C=C band remained, indicating extensive reduction. Raman spectra indicated sp 2 character increase after reaction E 2h mode Z...

With good mechanical properties and corrosion-resistance, galvanized coils are used in many fields nowadays, such as auto industry and household appliance industry. Because of high additional value of galvanized product, steel plants pay much more attention on how to make continuous galvanizing lines (CGL) run efficiently. In this paper, we address a scheduling problem of continuous galvanizing...

Among rampage shooting massacres, the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting on December 14, 2012 galvanized public attention. In this Commentary we examine the features of this episode of gun violence that has sparked strong reactions and energized discourse that may ultimately lead toward constructive solutions to diminish high rates of firearm deaths and injuries in the United States.

Yam tuber (Dioscorea spp.) is a staple tropical crop that usually best eaten in its fresh form. However, inadequate preservation and storage can result yam tubers deterioration immediately after harvesting due to their relatively high moisture content. All the traditional structures of preserving storing could not maintain freshness for long time. Therefore, need developing new structure farm p...

Hypervelocity collisions with space debris (SD, natural meteoroids and man-made artifacts) can significantly affect the performance of spacecraft. Here, I use an adaptivemesh Eulerian hydrodynamic code, Mie-Grüneisen solid-mechanics, and a simple material-failure model, running on a modern PC, to analyze the protection afforded by a nominal two-plate aluminum shield to hypervelocity collisions ...

the use of polymer composite (frp) as a reinforcement material for the repair and strengthening of important components of reinforced concrete structures, particularly columns, has found wide spread. in this study, the effect of intermediate layer on improving the confinement behavior of reinforced concrete columns has been investigated. to achieve the objectives of the study, 14 cylindrical re...
