nanoparticles of coordination polymer [co2(pydc)2(h2o)6]n.2n h2o [h2pydc = pyridine-2,5-dicarboxylic acid] have been synthesized by sonochemical method and characterized by elemental analysis, infrared spectroscopy, powder x-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, dls particle size analysis and tga/dta. the structure of single crystalline coordination polymer developed from nanosized coo...

Theories of clutch size determination have focused on first broods or on seasonal trends in clutch size. Clutch size is controlled by combination of genetic, ontological and environmental factors (KENNEDY & WHITE, 1991). In recent years, an increasing number of studies have demonstrated the existence of significant repeatability in ecologically important traits in natural bird populations (e.g....

Superheated hexane extraction has been tested for obtaining fatty acids from grape seed and compared with conventional Soxhlet and hot hexane extractions. Seeds from grape residues from a winery were dried for 46h at 105 degrees C, milled and sieved by particle size (d<0.42mm, 0.420.84mm). An optimization study of influential variables on superheated hexane extraction (namely ex...

The sizes of the genomes of five strains of Clostridium acetobutylicum were estimated by summing the sizes of macro-restriction fragments produced after cleavage of their DNA with SmaI and ApaI. The five C. acetobutylicum strains fell into three discrete groups. The NCIMB 8052 and NI-4081 strains have 6.5 Mbp genomes and restriction profiles of their DNA were indistinguishable. The sizes of the...

MgAl2O4/Ti(C,N) composites were synthesized through aluminothermic reaction between Al,TiO 2,MgO powders and phenolic resin in coke bed condition. Effect of addition of carbon black and sugar into the mixture at different temperatures were investigated. The phases and microstructures of samples were investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). MgAl 2O4 ...

zno nanorods and nanoparticles have been easily prepared via the decomposition of two simple schiff base zinc (ii) complexes, namely (n,n'–disalicylalethylenediamine)zince(ii) and (n,n'–disalicylalphenylenediamine)zince(ii) under microwave irradiation. the decomposition products of the complexes were characterized by ft-ir, xrd, sem, edx and uv-visible spectroscopy.  ft-ir, xrd and edx results ...

In this research, the effect of vibration at the resonant range (75 Hz) on the hardness and tensile strength of AA-5083-H321 aluminum alloy, were welded by gas metal arc welding (GMAW) investigated. Vibration forces were ranged from 850 N to 2200 N, under identical welding parameters. Tensile strength and hardness testing of welded samples were performed. After mechanical tests, the fracture su...
