The structures and magnetic properties of Pr–Fe–Al alloys produced by the metallic mold casting method were investigated. The Pr–Fe–Al alloy consisted of the amorphous phase together with the non-ferromagnetic Pr phase. Magnetic measurements confirmed that the origin of coercivity in the alloys was the amorphous phase. It was found that the Curie temperature and coercivity of the alloys were st...

Three computational methods (M06-2X/Def2-TZVP, B3PW91/Def2-TZVP and B3LYP/LANL2DZ+dp) were used to study the effect of substitution on the potential energy surfaces of RTl≡PR (R = F, OH, H, CH₃, SiH₃, SiMe(SitBu₃)₂, SiiPrDis₂, Tbt (=C₆H₂-2,4,6-(CH(SiMe₃)₂)₃), and Ar* (=C₆H₃-2,6-(C₆H₂-2, 4,6-i-Pr₃)₂)). The theoretical results show that these triply bonded RTl≡PR compounds have a preference for a...

To explore the feasibility and efficacy of radiofrequency ablation in treating uterine fibroids.Ninety patients with multiple uterine fibroids, who had undergone hysterectomy were included in the study. After the uterus was resected, the temperature of 60, 80, 100°C were adopted to ablate the in vitro fibroid with each temperature dealing with 30 patients. Simultaneously, 5 patients were includ...

Lead-free 0.98(Na0.5K0.5)NbO3-0.02Ba(Zr0.52Ti0.48)O3 [0.98NKN-0.02BZT] ceramics were fabricated by the conventional mixed oxide method with sintering temperature at 1,080°C to 1,120°C. The results indicate that the sintering temperature obviously influences the structural and electrical properties of the sample. For the 0.98NKN-0.02BZT ceramics sintered at 1,080°C to 1,120°C, the bulk density i...

aim : the purpose of this study is to analyze the cost of gerd and functional dyspepsia for investing its related factors. background : gastro-oesophageal reflux disease gerd and dyspepsia are the most common symptoms of gastrointestinal disorders. recent studies showed high prevalence and variety of clinical presentation of these two symptoms imposed enormous economic burden to the society. co...

Human immunodeficiency virus infection / acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (HIV/AIDS) is a disease pertained to the human immune system. Given its crucial role in viral replication, HIV-1 protease (HIV-1 PR) is a prime therapeutic target in AIDS therapy. In this regard, the dynamic aspects of ligand-enzyme interactions may indicate an important role of conformational variability in HIV-1 PR in...

Cryogenic CO2 capture is considered as a promising CO2 capture method due to its energy saving and environmental friendliness. The phase equilibrium analysis of CO2-mixtures at low temperature is crucial for the design and operation of a cryogenic system because it plays an important role in analysis of recovery and purity of the captured CO2. After removal of water and toxic gas, the main comp...

In the continuous gas lift operation, compressed gas is injected into the lower section of tubing through annulus. The produced liquid flow rate is a function of gas injection rate and injection depth. All the equations to determine depth of injection assumes constant density for gas based on an average temperature of surface and bottomhole that decreases the accuracy of gas lift design. Also g...

To evaluate the influence of vehicle load and driving speed on permanent deformation characteristic asphalt mixture in high temperature rainy areas, Hamburg wheel tracking test was conducted under different conditions by changing load, loading frequency environment. The coupling effect moisture, overload discussed. Meanwhile, three kinds anti-rutting agents commonly used engineering were select...

Combustion synthesis is a special thermophysico-chemical process applied for production of intermetallic compounds. In the present work, a reaction–diffusion numerical model was developed to analyze the combustion synthesis of aluminide intermetallics by self-propagating high-temperature synthesis process. In order to verify the reliability of the numerical model, an experimental setup was desi...
