Background: Avian spermatozoa are characterized by high proportions of poly unsaturated fatty acid, associated with increased susceptibility to Reactive Oxygen Species and lipid peroxidation. Recent advances in poultry reproduction have focused on the potential of Reactive Oxygen Species as one of the prime mediators of infertility. Oxidative stress is the result of imbalance between the Reacti...

In powder bed fusion additive manufacturing, the volumetric energy density E V is a commonly used parameter to quantify process input. However, recent results question suitability of as design parameter, varying contributing parameters may yield different part properties. Herein, beam current, scan velocity, and line offset in electron (PBF-EB) titanium aluminide alloy TNM–B1 are systematically...

The primary only imaging condition (POIC) can effectively remove some of the migration artifacts generated by multiple energy in the far-offset data. The multiples predicted by a POIC filter in the far-offset data are used to predict and eliminate the near-offset multiples in the τ−p domain with the Radon transform. The hybrid algorithm is tested on a simple synthetic example and the 2-D SMAART...

Polyolefins have been widely used in the electrical insulation and cable industry in recent years. One of the main usages of these materials is dielectric insulation in coaxial cables. Low attenuation and high signal transmission speed are among the desired features in coaxial cables. The role of polyethylene foam on signal transmission speed in the coaxial cables is the main focus of this stud...

In this study, the salt weathering effects on engineering properties and weight loss potential of three types of granitoid rocks were investigated. Sodium and magnesium sulfates tests were performed on core and aggregate samples. The cyclic salt weathering tests on core samples were done up to 90 cycles, while these tests on aggregate samples were done up to 40 cycles. The results showed that d...
