A 2-yr study was conducted to determine the effect of EPD for marbling on marbling score, palatability traits, and carcass fatness in beef. Steer (n = 122) and heifer (n = 123) carcasses were obtained by mating Angus bulls having a high ( > .4) or low ( < -.16) EPD for marbling to MARC II cows (1/4 Angus, 1/4 Hereford, 1/4 Simmental, and 1/4 Gelbvieh). Carcass traits, composition of primals, qu...

gas sensitive metal oxide layers used in fabrication of resistive gas sensors are prepared by different deposition techniques. the technical data reported on some basic and practically important specifications of these devices, although fabricated based on the same gas sensitive oxide, are anomalously different. the influence of the fabrication technique used for the deposition of the gas sensi...

Abstract Carbon nanoparticle coatings on laser-patterned stainless-steel surfaces present a solid lubrication system where the pattern’s recessions act as lubricant-retaining reservoirs. This study investigates influence of structural depth line patterns coated with multi-walled carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and onions (COs) their respective potential to reduce friction wear. Direct laser interferenc...

Investigating the effect of chemical functionalization on MWCNTs' electronic properties, and their influence course results electrophoretic deposition process.

The increasing number of functions in portable electronic devices requires more and more energy and power within a limited space. Li-ion thin film or so-called micro-batteries are the current solution for power supply. Drawbacks of these storage elements are poor power performance with limited life-span and temperature range. Carbon-based microsupercapacitors, on the other hand, are able to del...
