The phenomenology of intergranular sulfur attack in nickel and nickel-base alloys and the resulting embrittlement on post-exposure tensile testing was investigated. Using Ni 270 as a model material, specimens were exposed at temperatures between 450°C and 800°C to Fgous sulfur e vironments with sulfur partial pressures ranging from atm. to 10' B atm. Increasing exposure temperature and increasi...

The reaction of ground state boron atoms, 11B(2Pj), with allene, H2CCCH2(X1A1), was studied under single collision conditions at a collision energy of 21.5 kJ mol(-1) utilizing the crossed molecular beam technique; the experimental data were combined with electronic structure calculations on the 11BC3H4 potential energy surface. The chemical dynamics were found to be indirect and initiated by a...

BACKGROUND: Fertilizer management is one of the most important factors in successful cultivation of crops affecting yield quality and quantity. Growth analysis is still the most simple and precise method to evaluate the contribution of different physiological processes in plant development. OBJECTIVES: Current research was conducted to evaluate effect of ...

ied in the central and south part of the western San Joaquin Valley of California. Alluvial deposits in the Despite extensive research on B adsorption and release from soils, valley derive primarily from Coast Ranges of California, mineral sources of B within natively high B soils remain poorly understood. The objectives of this study were to identify source minerals which are composed of sever...

abstract nitrogen is a key nutrient in plant growth and it is necessary for amino acid synthesis. sulfur has very important role in the biosynthesis of the alliums flavor and pungency precursors and potassium improve crop yield and quality. in order to study the effect of ammonium nitrate and potassium sulfate on concentration some of the mineral elements in onion (allium cepa l. azar shahr cv....

Binary nanoclusters are of great interest for understanding fundamental phenomena related to applied materials science. Herein, neutral silicon-rich silicon−boron clusters (SinBm, n = 3−8, m = 1−2) are characterized by means of resonant infrared-ultraviolet two-color ionization (IR-UV2CI) spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, and quantum chemical calculations. Global energy optimizations are employe...

This study was conducted to investigate the effect of dairy cow diets containing different protein sources [soybean meal, xylose protected soybean meal (Yasminomax®), and steam-flaked whole soybean] and various partially processed grain on in vitro gas production kinetics and the microbial nitrogen yield. Soybean meal (S) and xylose protected of soybean meal (XS) were provided as 0.56:...
