Cubic boron nitride (cBN) is widely applied in cutting and grinding tools. cBN grains plated by pure Ni and Ni/SiC composite were produced under the same conditions from an additive-free nickel Watts type bath. The processed electroplating products were characterized by the techniques of scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and thermoanalysis (TG-DTA). Due to the presence...

BACKGROUND Although increased consumption of dietary fiber and grain products is widely recommended to maintain healthy body weight, little is known about the relation of whole grains to body weight and long-term weight changes. OBJECTIVE We examined the associations between the intakes of dietary fiber and whole- or refined-grain products and weight gain over time. DESIGN In a prospective ...

The field experiment was carried out at central research farm of Naini Agricultural Institute, Sam Higginbottom University Agriculture, Technology and Sciences, Prayagraj during Kharif season year 2022-2023. comprised 9 treatments with 3 level NPK Vermicompost in randomized block design. treatment T9 has shown the significant results when applied 100% among different levels combination. Growth ...

Abstract In order to study the inheritance of grain yield and its components in bread wheat, two cultivars, Karchyya(drought and salinity tolerant) and Gaspard (sensitive to drought and salinity stress) were crossed.Parents together with F1, F2, F3, BC1and BC2 generations were evaluated using a randomized complete block design with three replications in 2008-2009 growing season.Grain weight per...

Petrology and Mineral Compositions: The fresh, pale gray interior of this specimen has multiple shock fractures (with very minor calcite coatings) and some thin glass veinlets (Figure 2). This rock is a poikiloblastic recrystallized breccia, with larger grains of plagioclase (~70%) enclosing much smaller grains (less than 100 microns across) of pyroxene (~20%), olivine (~10%) and accessory Ti-c...

J. Węgrzyn Silesian University of Technology, Faculty of Materials Engineering and Metallurgy, Katowice, Poland In the process of carbothermic reaction of SiO2 + mC, key reactions appear on the surfaces of both SiO2 and C grains. However, the values of these surfaces are not known. Assuming the simplest case, quartzite and carbon grains are spheres, total surfaces of reaction were calculated fo...

This study evaluated the role of gibberellic acid [GA 3 ; (0, 100, 200, and 300 ppm)] in modulation growth, physiology, yield, quality traits two varieties (BARI Mung-6 BARI Mung-8) mungbean ( Vigna radiata L.). Irrespective Mung-8), ppm GA differentially modulated tested parameters (relative water content, RWC; photosynthetic pigments: chlorophyll a, b, carotenoids; growth parameters: fresh dr...

in several parts of the world, important yield losses are caused to faba bean due to attack by the black bean aphid aphis fabae scopoli. although resistance could be a good alternative to chemical control, its genetic basis is still largely unknown; and its phenotypic expression is still poorly described, making crucial the permanent evaluation of genetic resources available in different countr...

According to urgent need of corn to nitrogen and since this element play a main role in improving of yield corn, thus, in order to investigate the effect of different levels of urea on yield and yield components of corn 704, an experiment was conducted randomized block with three replications in cropping year of 2012. Experimental treatments included six levels of urea (0, 30, 60, 90, 120 and 1...

Identification by the Ulysses spacecraft of interstellar grains inside the planetary system provides a new window for the study of diffuse interstellar matter. Dust particles observed by Ulysses and confirmed by Galileo are more massive (≥ 10−13 g) than the ’classical’ interstellar grains. Even bigger grains (≈ 10−7 g) were observed in form of interstellar meteors. We analyze the consequences o...
