We aimed to develop alternative fishing gear for catching the common octopus, to decrease the use of bait and operating costs in comparison to commercial net pots. A tubular-type pot was designed, and behavioral responses of the common octopus were experimentally monitored in tank and replicated 10 times to compare fishing performances between 300 experimental and 300 commercial net pots in the...

laboratory and industrial scale experiments are made on the application of sponge iron pellets and briquettes for the production of cast iron and steel in different melting systems, such as electric induction furnace, electric resistance furnace and fuel-fired crucible furnace. effect of various variables such as specifications of sponge iron, temperature of the molten metal and the method of f...

a case of renal tubular acidosis (rta) who had gradual onset of paralysis of lower extremities and persisted for a long time is presented. his primary workups were mistaken for muscular dystrophy. eventually, an abdominal ultrasonography revealed small stones in both of the kidneys and his workup for the stones were in favor of distal renal tubular acidosis and advanced rickets with hypokalemia...

Epithelial inclusions were detected in myocardium of a 2-month-old male Holstein calf. Microscopically,nonpurulent myocarditis along with focal tubular and acinar structures covered with cuboidal epithelial cellswas seen in the myocardium. Most tubular and acinar structures stained with Masson’s trichrome were foundto be surrounded with a dense collagen. Tubular and acinar structures had PAS po...

The Clean Coal Technology (CCT) Demonstration Program is a government and industry co-funded effort to demonstrate a new generation of innovative coal utilization processes in a series of " showcase " facilities built across the country. These projects are carried out on a sufficiently large scale to prove commercial worthiness and generate data for design, construction, operation, and technica...

Background: Radioactive yttrium glass microspheres are used for liver cancer treatment. These yttrium aluminum silicate microspheres are synthesized from yttrium, aluminum and silicone oxides by melting. There are two known processes used to transform irregular shaped glass particles into microspheres, these ‘spheroidization by flame’ and ‘spheroidization by gravitational fall...

Induced BVOC emissions from pyrolyzed plants that may accumulate in confined topographies have been a controversy for their role wildfire eruptions or flashovers. α-pinene (C10H16) is one of the most abundant monoterpenes emitted Mediterranean vegetation wildfires. Its thermal degradation under fire stresses produces range highly flammable gases. In order to identify these products, experiments...

The melting temperatures have been determined for a wide range of substances as a function of pressure. In the present work, Teflon (polytetrafluoroethylene) was investigated up to 30 kb and the decomposition temperatures, and the melting temperatures of silver chloride and iodine were determined up to 30 kb and 20 kb, respectively. General Technique. -The pressure was generated with a piston-c...
