mo40 low-alloy steels are mostly used to produce industrial components such as crane wheels whichare exposed to abrasive wear. however, during working conditions, their wear resistance is reduced aftera while due to its low hardness. with increasing abrasive wear, the dimensions of components decreaseand they need to be repaired for surface modification. in this regard, hard overlay coatings ar...

PULMONARY CAPILLARY BLOOD VOLUME and alveolar-membrane diffusing capacity are components to overall pulmonary diffusing capacity. The equation deriving pulmonary diffusing capacity into these components was first published in 1957 by Francis Roughton and Robert Forster (19) in which the total resistance to pulmonary diffusion is the addition of alveolarmembrane resistance and red blood cell res...

background: all aerobically growing organisms suffer from exposure to oxidative stress, caused by partially reduced forms of molecular oxygen, known as reactive oxygen species (ros). these are highly reactive and capable of damaging cellular constituents such as dna, lipids and proteins. consequently, cells from many different organisms have evolved mechanisms to protect their components agains...

surface roughness is one of the most important parameters that plays very critical role in determining the quality of engineering components. a good surface quality resulting in improve of fatigue strength, corrosion and wear resistance of the workpiece. on the other hand, increasing cutting speed and decreasing time of machining are desirable for manufacturers in order to reduce costs and incr...

Variability in the cultivated germplasm for economic traits such as resistance to rice tungro virus, sheathblight, yellow stem borer, drought and salt tolerance is limited. This necessitated search for the genes in secondary and tertiary gene pool of genus Oryza. Fortunately, wild species are an important reservoir ofuseful genes for resistance to major disease, pest and tolerance t...

Background. A field study conducted by researchers found the balls used by visual impairment students at school basically used the sound by a small bell inside the ball. However, the sound emitted from the ball is very limited, the ball will sound when it is moved. This makes it difficult for students with visual impairments to find a missing ball that not emitted makes a sound. Objectives. A ...
