BACKGROUND Rice is the primary source of food for billions of people in developing countries, yet the commonly consumed polished grain contains insufficient levels of the key micronutrients iron (Fe), zinc (Zn) and Vitamin A to meet daily dietary requirements. Experts estimate that a rice-based diet should contain 14.5 µg g(-1) Fe in endosperm, the main constituent of polished grain, but breedi...

STATEMENT OF PROBLEM Colored zirconia is widely used in dental clinical practice; however, data pertaining to its wear resistance after different surface treatments are sparse. PURPOSE The purpose of this in vitro study was to evaluate the 2-body wear resistance of dental colored zirconia after different glazing and polishing treatments. MATERIAL AND METHODS Standardized specimens were prep...

The use of the chemical-mechanical polishing (CMP) process in the semiconductor industry is growing rapidly, and it is a critical step in the manufacturing of integrated circuits. The CMP process is complicated by many factors, and controlling all of these factors in a single controller has been unrealistic. One of the most significant factors complicating control is the dependency of the polis...

Polished stone axes have long been recognised as one of the most important forms material culture in Neolithic. Research over last 40 years has done much to understand their origins, patterns exchange across Europe, deposition, and social importance. Despite this long-recognised importance, little work Britain focused on actual use these objects. This article presents first use-wear analysis 20...

background:the diagnostic accuracy of frozen section as an important source of information in surgical pathology is important not only in the management of surgical patients but also as a measure of quality control in surgical pathology. in this study, we evaluated the diagnostic accuracy of frozen sections over a 6-year period in a teaching hospital in iran. methods: we retrospectively review...

The measurement of absorptance is important for the analysis and modelling of laser-material interactions. Unfortunately, most of the absorptance data presently available considers only polished pure metals rather than the commercially available (unpolished, oxidised) alloys which are actually being processed in manufacturing. This paper presents the results of absorptance measurements carried ...

In the present work, functionalized 304 stainless steel metallic surfaces were created with the use of a Femtosecond Laser Surface Processing (FLSP) technique. The laser processing technique produces self-organized micro/nanostructures on the surface. The heat transfer performance of various FLSP functionalized surfaces were characterized through pool boiling and Leidenfrost experiments. Enhanc...

In 2018, the RGK’s research team led by Knut Rassmann undertook magnetometer survey of Late Neolithic site Öcsöd-Kováshalom over a roughly 65 ha large area. An enclosure system three concentric semi-circular ditches was detected around tell-like mound that formed core settlement. order to resolve these issues, we organised small field school excavation with support RGK and participation archaeo...
