Background: Blindness due to cataract is a major and important problem in Pakistan. The problem is expected to increase in future due to increase in tobacco smoking. The aim of study was to look for the mechanism associated with metal deposition and its effect on antioxidant enzymes in lens of smokers in Karachi, Pakistan. Methods: 20 cataract patients were randomly selected from Out Patient De...

Industrial effluents consist many pollutant and heavy metals. Bacteria isolated from industrial west water ground may have potential to tolerate heavy metal. In this study we isolate a Citrobacter sp. which can resist heavy metal like Cu and Pb. Slurry from industrial west water ground was collected from 22.0663 N, 88.1041 E. The heavy metal content and other parameters of soil were estimated. ...

The fluid-structure interaction simulation of shockand detonation-loaded thin-walled structures requires numerical methods that can cope with large deformations as well as local topology changes. We present a robust level-set-based approach that integrates a Lagrangian thin-shell finite element solver with fracture and fragmentation capabilities and an Eulerian Cartesian fluid solver with optio...

The Mount Milligan deposit, centred at latitude SS”O8’ north and longitude 124”04’ west, is 100 kilometres westsouthwest of Mackenzie and 160 kilometres northwest of Prince George in central British Columbia. The deposit occurs in gently rolling topography (Plate 2-6-l) 5 kilometres due south of Mount Milligan. Access to the property is by a 93.kilometre logging road that connects with the Hart...

ATLAS has chosen for its Hadronic End-Cap Calorimeter (HEC) the copper-liquid argon sampling technique with flat plate geometry and GaAs pre-amplifiers in the argon. The contruction of the calorimeter is now approaching completion. Results of production quality checks are reported and their anticipated impact on calorimeter performance discussed. Selected results, such as linearity, electron an...

as ferromagnetic alloys composed exclusively of non magnetic elements. However, the electrical properties of the alloys have not been studied in details. The purpose of the present report is to present our data on the electrical resistivity of an In-Heusler Cu2.0Mn0.94In1.0 single crystal. The purities of the elements used are 99.9% for electrolytic manganese, 99.9% for oxygen free copper plate...

1. Easy to plate: steel, copper and brass. These can be coat* with adherent deposits that will riot fail at the deposit-substrate interface. 2. Special treatment: stainless steels, aluminum, beryllium, magnesium and plastics. These can also be coated with adherent deposits that will not fail at the deposit-substrate interface. 3. Very difsicult: titanium, molybdenum, tungsten, niobium, tantalum...

The Charpy impact energy of A356 alloys has been measured. Instrumented Charpy impact tests have been conducted at 25, 100, 150, and 200 ~ The Charpy specimens were machined from plate castings or tapered cylindrical castings. The plates were produced in sand molds, and tapered cylinders were produced in water-cooled copper molds. Both unmodified and strontium-modified castings were tested. The...
