We suggest that the conventional need for overwhelming amounts of astrophysical dark matter should be regarded as a warning to standard gravity rather than as merely a challenge to it, and show that the systematics of galactic rotation curve data can just as readily point in the direction of the equally covariant conformal gravity alternative. In particular we identify an apparent imprint of th...

Nitriding is a surface treatment technique used to introduce nitrogen into metallic materials to improve their surface hardness, mechanical properties, wear resistance and corrosion resistance. In this research, the effects of plasma nitriding parameters including frequency and duty cycle were investigated on samples with different grooves dimensions. Steel blocks prepared from DIN1.2344 hot wo...

Intravenous administration of the fatty acid oxidation inhibitor 2-tetradecylglycidic acid had no effect on the proportion of pyruvate dehydrogenase complex in the active form in heart, diaphragm or gastrocnemius muscles or in liver, kidney or adipose tissue of fed normal rats. The compound reversed the effect of 48h starvation (which decreased the proportion of active complex) in heart muscle,...

the tumors in which odontogenic differentiation is fully expressed are the odontomas. odontomas are considered as hamartomas rather than a true neoplasm. these tumors are composed of enamel, dentine, cementum and pulp tissue. it is most commonly associated with the eruption of the teeth. they are usually discovered on routine radiographic examination. in exceptional cases, the odontoma erupts i...
