We describe a design for the modular horizontal activity disc and tandem cages suitable for continuous monitoring of spontaneous running and of core temperatures in golden hamsters. An acrylic disc is equipped with a short brass axle. It is mounted inside a brass rotation sleeve at a 15 degrees angle off the horizontal plane. The disc module fits firmly inside either half of the tandem cage whe...

Taking into account the use of Nickel brasses in industry a great number of methods for the determination of Ni have been reported. More, theoretical predictions of free Cd increasing with decreasing salinity have been confirmed using cadmium selective electrodes. The method under proposal, for the determination of nickel ions in brass alloys consists of the following steps: Cu masking with sod...

Brass used in heat exchanger is corroded in industrial water. The used inhibitor is extracted from horse tail herb added in different concentrations and temperature to industrial water in which heat exchanger if exposed to these conditions. Brass is studied under the above conditions using potentiodynamic polarization, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction. Potentiodynamic po...

brass ferrules have been used as packing in a laboratory- scale glass distillation column approaching pilot plant size because of their availability in all sizes and low cost. the available size range is such that these ferrules could also be used in industry and the results of this study could be scaled up. the performance of the new packing has been compared with the performance of glass pack...

Laboratory experiments have indicated that hatchling loggerhead sea turtles (Caretta caretta) are able to establish and maintain courses using information from the Earth's magnetic field. In previous experiments, turtles were tested in relatively uniform magnetic fields generated by large coil systems surrounding an orientation arena. In this study, we investigated the orientation behavior of h...

A ship building grade of carbon steel has been coated with copper by a furnace brazing process starting from a brass braze. An argon protective atmosphere was used to prevent oxidation of the steel. However, when the deposit was produced a low gas flow rate ensured that zinc was lost from the brass by oxidation leaving a copper deposit on the steel surface. The copper was found to be zinc free ...

Real Applications of Databases ask for the notion of Aggrega-tion. This, however, needs stronger semantics as usual. In particular, such semantics should extend the wellfounded semantics WFS. We study such extensions and determine which semantics are possible given certain abstract properties like partial evaluation, cumulativity, partial monotony and supraclassicality. While WFS + (introduced ...

The purpose of the present study was to obtain detailed photographic sequences and lip motion data on which lip models for brass instruments may be more accurately based. The study expands upon an earlier study by Martin @J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 13, 305–307 ~1942!# by using advanced fiber-optic stroboscopy, a real instrument mouthpiece, and by studying two dynamic levels. The trombone was selected ...
