Previous studies have linked certain types of gut mucosal immune cells with fat intake. We determined whether fat absorption activates intestinal mucosal mast cells (MMC), a key component of the gut mucosal immune system. Conscious intestinal lymph fistula rats were used. The mesenteric lymph ducts were cannulated, and the intraduodenal (i.d.) tubes were installed for the infusion of Liposyn II...

TiISiC, MMC monotapes have been successfully fabricated by vacuum plasma spraying. The as-sprayed MMC monotapes have a uniform fibre distribution, dense matrix and no fibre-matrix interfacial reaction. The effects of processing parameters such as H, flow rate, plasma current, chamber pressure and spray distance on the monotape temperature, porosity and fibre infiltration have been evaluated qua...

SYNTHESIS AND CRYSTAL STRUCTURE OF CS3NB2BR9, A DINUCLEAR NIOBIUM CLUSTER. The niobium bromide cluster compound, Cs3Nb2Br9, was obtained by solid-state synthesis techniques in reaction of stoichiometric amounts of CsBr, Nb powder and NbBr5. It crystallizes in the hexagonal system with unit cell parameters a = 7.7183(2) Å, c = 18.3396(7) Å, space group P63/mmc, Z = 2. Its crystal structure was d...

In this research work, estimation of tool wear for the CBN / PCD tool has been done by using Echostate Neural network during machining of Al6061 metal matrix composite. AN estimation percentage of 90.62% has been achieved.

The present paper aims to investigate the solidification behavior and the forgeability of Aluminum alloy (LM6)-SiCp composites at different section of three-stepped composite castings. The temperature of the cast composites during solidification has measured by putting K-type thermocouples at the center of the each step/section, from which the solidification curves were constructed. The forgeab...

Au:BaTiO(3) composite films comprising hexagon-shaped Au nanoparticle arrays covered with BaTiO(3) matrix were fabricated by double-layer nanosphere lithography and pulsed laser deposition technique. The optical nonlinearity of the composite film was determined using the Z-scan technique at a wavelength of 532 nm and a pulse duration of 25 ps. The third-order nonlinear optical susceptibility, c...

A composite Cd 0.95 Ni 0.05 Sb crystal consisting of CdSb and NiSb inclusions was obtained by the modified Bridgman method. It shown methods scanning electron microscopy, X-ray phase analysis, energy-dispersive spectroscopy, studies Raman spectra, that main matrix a block single (orthorhombic Pbca structure) containing microcrystalline acicular second (hexagonal structure NiAs type P6 3 /mmc). ...

CaptekTM (Precious Chemical USA Inc., Apopka, Florida) is a new, innovative development in dental materials. It is a dental alloy that can be defined as a composite material because it is internally composed of two different alloys. CaptekTM is a high gold content alloy (88% by weight) and is used in porcelain-fused-to-metal dental crowns and bridges. Composite metals containing metallic matrix...

Co-deposition of zinc metal matrix with ZnO composite was fabricated from electrolytic chloride based coating consisting of 20-40g/L ZnO particle. The resulting composite coatings were characterized using high optic microscope (OPM). The corrosion resistance properties of Zn-ZnO composite coatings were measure using linear polarization in 3.5% NaCl solution. The variation of amount of ZnO %wt. ...
