A technique based on physical maceration of root tissue was developed to extract vermiform and swollen stages of Meloidogyne incognita and Rotylenchulus reniformis. Experiments conducted on soybean and tomato evaluated the efficiency of method (stir, grind), NaOC1 concentration (0%, 0.5%), and duration (lx, 2x) on extraction of nematodes and eggs from 60-day-old populations. Root-associated pop...

A mathematical description of grinding processes used in powder technologies is developed. A grinding equation, an operator equation, connecting the final particle size distribution function to the particle size distribution function before the grinding process is studied. The mathematical model introduced here can be used to predict the results of grinding, to construct grinding systems with d...

This paper investigates experimentally the effect of compressed cold air (CCA) and vegetable oil on the surface integrity and residual tresses of ground tool steel components. It shows that CCA can reduce grinding temperature and produce a compressive residual stress up o the grinding depth of 30 m. CCA can also improve surface finish while keeping grinding forces low. Oil was found to be more ...

this study investigates the influence of some chemical additives such as methanol, ethanol, sodium oleat, chloroform and sodium hexametaphosphate (shmp) on the dry fine grinding of calcite (x50= 33 µm) using a stirred media mill. the experiments were carried out by a batch operation, and the change in colour properties (ry, whiteness and yellowness) of calcite powder. the results showed that th...

The production of high-quality rolled products (slabs), the formation its surface phase-structural composition, texture, stress state during rough grinding depends on temperature in area contact between wheel and slab. During processing, due to geometric errors surface, as well local changes hardness, periodic fluctuations instantaneous depth cut occur, which can be determined indirectly by con...

copper smelting slags are hard materials. therefore,to recover their copper by flotation method, grinding should be carried out to obtain optimal particle size. copper smelting slags in the bardeskan district, with work index of 16.24 kwh/st, were grinded for 65 minutes to reach an acceptable degree of freedom for the flotation tests, with particle size of 80%, smaller than 70 μm. with this gri...

Objective:Platycladus orientalis or Thuja orientalis is a native plant of Iran different parts of which are used in the treatment of various diseases such as: gout, rheumatoid arthritis, common cold, cough, bronchitis, asthma, high blood pressure and hormonal disorders like hirsutism and baldness. Also, various organs of this species have been used as appetizer. The purpose of this study was to...

Although there has been significant progress in the fabrication and performance optimization of 1-D nanostructure-based deep-ultraviolet photodetectors, it is still a challenge to develop an effective device with high performance characteristics, such as high photocurrent-dark current ratio and high quantum efficiency. Herein, an efficient and simple method to fabricate high performance CuO nan...
