Abstract. The study investigated the high-temperature tensile behavior of Ti60 alloy at different temperatures (940"℃" to 1040"℃" ) and strain rates (0.1s-1 0.0005s-1). exhibited superplasticity with best deformation temperature ranging from 940"℃" 960"℃" . elongation samples decreased significantly over 980"℃" due growth grain size. In addition, influence diffusion bonding pressure on microstr...

This paper surveys a collection of results on finding special sets of vertices in graphs with vertex partitions, all of which can viewed as models for “committee-choosing” problems.

An obligatory heterofermentative lactic acid bacterium Lactobacillus wasatchii sp. nov. isolated from gassy Cheddar cheese was studied for growth, gas formation, salt tolerance and survival against pasteurization treatments at 63°C and 72°C. Initially, Lb. wasatchii was thought to only use ribose as a sugar source and we were interested in whether it could utilize galactose. Experiments to dete...

Close to its center, the bulgeless galaxy NGC 2139 hosts a star cluster that is younger and less massive than any actual nuclear star cluster (NC) studied so far. We have measured the Hα velocity field around the photometric center of this galaxy using the VLT ARGUS integral field unit and GIRAFFE spectrograph in order to constrain different proposed theories of NC formation. We observe that th...

Renewed interest and recently expanding research of ‘fabric forming’ as a means of producing concrete (or rammed earth) structures has established its benefits in physically manifesting complex curvatures, achieving good surface quality, ease of transport of form-work materials (Cauberg et al., 2009), producing sculptural forms of variable crosssection and buckling resistant forms (West and Ara...

Cavitation is the opening of pores during superplastic forming, typically at grain boundary triple points or on second phase grain boundary particles during slip of grain boundaries. Theories for the initiation of cavitation are reviewed. It seems that cavitation is unlikely to occur by processes intrinsic to metals such as dislocation mechanisms or point defect condensation. It is proposed tha...
