The mining of hard rocks by mechanical methods, using cutting tools, is associated with problems such as sparking, dust generation and increased wear. application disk tools allows limiting these but requires constructing a machine large dimensions weight. To limit problems, high-pressure water jets can be applied. article presents the effects this solution in field stand tests when symmetrical...

We present a database of 21 bond dissociation energies for breaking metal-ligand bonds. The molecules in the metal-ligand bond energy database are AgH, CoH, CoO+, CoOH+, CrCH3+, CuOH2+, FeH, Fe(CO)5, FeO, FeS, LiCl, LiO, MgO, MnCH3NiCH2+, Ni(CO)4, RhC, VCO+, VO, and VS. We have also created databases of metal-ligand bond lengths and atomic ionization potentials. The molecules used for bond leng...

Fungal species Lasiodiplodia theobromae of family Botryosphaeriaceae is a pathogen causing significant loss production and quality mango crop in Vietnam worldwide. In this study, fungal strain designed as XB1 was isolated from stem-end rot fruits, identified tested its susceptibility to silver copper nanoparticles. Strain identification based on biological characteristics sequence analysis 5.8S...

Abstract Stability and structure of complexes between silver (I) l -methionine (L) deduced from potentiometric 1 H NMR measurements allow to assume the prevailing several protonated species. The experimental data are compatible with formation following complexes: AgL, AgL 2 , AgH L, L 3 4 . coordination sites obtained by spectra, showing that only bond methylthioether sulfur atom is responsible...

The work presents the design and fabrication procedures used to manufacture inexpensive iron-base powders employed as a matrix in diamond-impregnated tool components. Three newly developed low alloy steel powders, containing from 94.4 99.4 wt.% Fe, have been formulated with assistance of ThermoCalc software produced by means proprietary process patented AGH-UST. It has shown that are readily pr...

by means of first principles calculations we show that both rutile and anatase phases of bulk tio2 doped by s, se or pb can display substantial decreasing in the band gap (up to 50%), while doping by zr does not sizably affect the band-gap value. moreover, the absorption edge is shifted (up to 1 ev) to the lower energy range in the case of tio2 doped by s or pb that opens a way to enhancing of ...

background and aims. this in vitro study was designed to compare enamel demineralization depths adjacent to bands cemented with zinc polycarboxylate, glass ionomer (gi) and resin-modified glass ionomer (rmgi), in order to achieve minimal enamel demineralization during orthodontic treatment. materials and methods. sixty fully developed extracted third molars were randomly divided into three test...
