In this study, based on designed Ti-50Ni, Ti-27Ni-23Nb, and Ti-27Ni-19Nb-4X (Ta V) SMAs were prepared using arc melting. The microhardness microstructure of the alloys examined. optical microscope (OM) Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) images can be noted that Nb, Ta, V addition in substitution to nickel causes a change morphology TiNi Shape Memory Alloy at room temperature. results shown when...

Current research is focused on development of β-type titanium alloys for biomedical applications as substitutes the undesirable Ti6Al4V alloy. alloy has a higher elastic modulus (110 GPa) than that human bone (10-30 and this mismatch in moduli can cause stress shielding effect, which resorption implant failure. Moreover, dissociation vanadium aluminium long term diseases including Alzheimer, ne...

The magnetic properties of intact and freeze-dried blood cells of the tunicate Ascidia nigra and of model vanadium(III) and (IV) compounds as polycrystalline solids and in aqueous solution have been measured up to 50 kOe with a SQUID susceptometer. Corrections for the samples' diamagnetism were extracted from the temperature dependence of the data without any further assumptions. For vanadium(I...

We report on a two-dimensional (2D) V1–xPtxSe2 alloy that exhibits ferromagnetic order and Rashba spin–orbit coupling. Although ferromagnetism is absent in 1T-VSe2 because of the competition with charge density wave phase, we demonstrate theoretically experimentally substitution vanadium by platinum VSe2 (10–50%) to form homogeneous 2D restores down one monolayer V0.65Pt0.35Se2. Moreover, prese...

Various potential biomarkers were sampled for vanadium every 3-4 months from Bos indicus beef cattle farmed extensively immediately adjacent (high exposure (HE) group) and two km away (low exposure (LE) group) from a vanadium processing plant, respectively. Vanadium intake (mg vanadium kg(-1) bwt d(-1)) was modelled using environmental and physiological data as inputs. The vanadium intake range...

Vanadium K-edge X-ray-absorption spectra were collected for samples of thionine-oxidized, super-reduced (during enzyme turnover) and dithionite-reduced VFe-protein of the vanadium nitrogenase of Azotobacter chroococcum (Acl*). Both the e.x.a.f.s and the x.a.n.e.s. (X-ray-absorption near-edge structure) are consistent with the vanadium being present as part of a VFeS cluster; the environment of ...

Ž . The environmental impact of both the vanadium redox battery vanadium battery and the lead-acid battery for use in stationary applications has been evaluated using a life cycle assessment approach. In this study, the calculated environmental impact was lower for the vanadium battery than for the lead-acid one. The net energy storage efficiency of the vanadium battery was greater due to lower...

Solid-phase spectrophotometry has been applied to analysis for trace amounts of vanadium. Vanadium was sorbed in a styrene-divinylbenzene-type anion-exchanger Dowex 1-X8 as a vanadium-4-(2-pyridylazo)resorcinol complex. Resin phase absorbances at 562 and 800 nm were measured directly which allowed the determination of vanadium in the range of 0.1-2.4 ng/ml with a RSD of 1.5%. The method has bee...

Biochemical and haematological profiles of workers exposed to vanadium were compared with those of non-exposed age matched subjects. A significantly positive and dose related correlation between serum vanadium and zinc protoporphyrin (ZPP) was observed. Normal lead concentrations excluded this heavy metal as a possible cause. Inhibition of the reduction of Fe to Fe++ by vanadium is discussed as...
