Abstract This work endeavors to investigate thermomechanical performance of carbon fabric reinforced epoxy composite (CEC) with fillers – hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) and molybdenum disulfide (MoS2). The filler 2, 4, 6, 8 Wt.% was dispersed precisely in the resin through magnetic stirring ultrasonication, prepared loaded CEC using vacuum bag technique studied behavior at an elevated temperatu...

While developing a combination of capillary electrochromatography (CEC) with tandem mass spectrometry (MS) for the benefit of characterizing complex oligosaccharide mixtures, we needed highly efficient CEC columns operating in an "MS-friendly" mode. We demonstrate here novel types of polar, monolithic CEC columns that separate effectively complex mixtures of saccharides with the use of mobile p...

Typical distribution of exposure parameters in plain radiography is unknown in Portugal. This study aims to identify exposure parameters that are being used in plain radiography in the Lisbon area and to compare the collected data with European references [Commission of European Communities (CEC) guidelines]. The results show that in four examinations (skull, chest, lumbar spine and pelvis), th...

glycosaminoglycan (gag) has a pivot role in renal function and homeostasis. analysis of gag amount generally serves to determine gag alteration due to diabetes mellitus. critical electrolyte concentration (cec) staining can be an efficacy method to study gag amount changes. based on an experimental study, 20 male rats were randomly divided equally into two experimental and control groups. diabe...

introduction: estimation of cation exchange capacity (cec) with reliable soil properties can save time and cost. pedotransfer function (ptf) is a common method in estimating certain soil properties (e.g. cec) that has been wieldy used for many years. one of the common techniques that have been used to develop ptfs is multiple linear regressions. in this method, all easily obtained soil properti...

Aims: Soil black carbon (BC) has been shown to possess large amounts of cation exchange sites and surface charge, and is viewed as a potential soil amendment to improve nutrient retention and for pollutant remediation. This study investigated the nanoscale distribution of reactive functional groups and the binding of cations on the surface of micron-size BC particles, identified the key process...
