The metallurgical and mechanical properties of Ti6Al4V/(WC-Co) friction welds have ben investigated. The microstructure close to the bondline comprised a mixture of acicular and equiaxed α plus β phases. The diffusion of elements in the welded specimens has been detected. The fracture strengths of Ti6Al4V/(WC-Co) friction welds markedly improved when the cobalt content in the (WC-Co) carbide su...

The use of conventional metrics to quantify the perception of nonlinearly propagated noise has been studied. Gaussian noise waveforms have been numerically propagated both linearly and nonlinearly, and from the resulting waveforms, several metrics are calculated. These metrics are overall, A-, C-, and D-weighted sound pressure levels, perceived noise level, Stevens Mark VII perceived loudness, ...

This paper introduces the application of graph matching as a suporting technique to the watershed from propagated markers framework. In this work, markers are propagated by attributed relational graph matching, which attributes are collected from the moving borders of the objects of interests. The advantage of this version of the watershed from propagated markers is the production of markers th...

Ascophyllum nodosum is the most important commercial seaweed. Seaweeds have been applied as soil conditioners in improving plant growth and development in agricultural crops. In current study and for the first time, extracts of brown seaweed A. nodosum improved the growth of Robinia pseudoacasia L., an ornamental tree. This research investigated the effect of cultivation beds (sand, perlite, co...

Panagrellus redivivus produced 24-methyl-23-dehydrocholesterol as 4.0% of the 4-desmethylsterols when propagated in a medium containing campesterol as the dietary sterol. The re-examination of previous data revealed that Caenorhabditis elegans produced 1.8% 24-methyl-23-dehydrocholesterol when propagated in medium containing campesterol. 24-Methyl-23-dehydrocholesterol was not detected when the...
