Consumption of plant extracts can be a source of essential elements or a route of human exposure to toxicants. Metal concentrations in leaves, leaf brew, and infusion of L. javanica collected from five sites were determined by atomic absorption spectrometry after acid and aqueous extraction. Estimated daily intakes of metals in extracts were compared with recommended dietary allowances. Total m...

B ak o re and N a r a in 1 studied the kinetics of the oxidation of a-hydroxy acids by chromium(VI) and found that addition of Mn(II) decreases the rate of oxidation to one half of that in absence of Mn(II), when the hydrogen ion concentration is in the range 0.1 to 0.4 M. They attributed this to the disproportionation of Cr(IV) by Mn(II) ions. K em p and W a t e r s 2 observed Mn(II) catalysis...

The paper presents the results of tensile and impact bending tests 17%Cr-19%Mn-0.53%N high-nitrogen austenitic stainless steel in temperatures ranging from ?196 to 20 °C. microstructure fracture surfaces were investigated using transmission scanning electron microscopes, as well X-ray diffraction analysis. experiences a ductile-to-brittle transition (DBT); however, it possessed high strength ch...

The problem: A new type of steel is known as Twining Induced Plasticity Steel, more commonly known as TWIP Steel. There is a general interest in using this type of steel in the automotive industry due to its unique material properties such as super toughness and super ductility, although its chemical properties also play a vital role. It has a high content of Mn (more than 25%) and about 3% Si ...
