although the solubility of oxygen in molten aluminum alloys is said to be negligible, the fresh surface of the melt oxidizes quickly in the air and an oxide film is formed on the melt surface. oxide-metal-oxide sandwich technique is a method for the study of short-time surface oxide films. in this research, air was blown at 0.5 atmosphere into the melts of al-1mg and al-6mg alloys by means of a...

By Doms Kuirni, A. DEIss AND C. E. C wrwmcrr T HE OCCURRENCE of siderocytes in the blood of splenectomized patients, in the blood of some patients with hemolytic anemia, and particularly in splenectomized patients with persistent hemolytic anemia is well known.’5 More recently, as a result of experimental studies in swine,6” it has been recognized that the physiologic significance and metabolic...

Nanosized iron oxide particles exhibit osteogenic and radiopaque properties. Thus, iron oxide (Fe3O4) nanoparticles were incorporated into a biodegradable polymer (poly-L-lactic acid, PLLA) to fabricate a composite bone screw. This multifunctional, 3D printable bone screw was detectable on X-ray examination. In this study, mechanical tests including three-point bending and ultimate tensile stre...

Biopsies of the tongue and oesophagus were performed on 14 patients with uncomplicated iron-deficiency anaemia before and after treatment with iron. Haemoglobin and serum iron estimations were performed at the same time. Nine patients had clinical evidence of atrophic changes in the tongue before therapy was started. Evidence of regeneration appeared within one or two weeks of starting iron the...

Experiments were performed in parallel using six identical UASB (upflow anaerobic sludge blanket) reactors to examine the effects of iron (Fe2+) on sludge granulation during start-up. Introduction of Fe2+ at concentrations of 300 and 450 mg/L enhanced the granulation process in UASB reactors, while dosage of Fe2+ (150 mg/L) had little effect on the sludge granulation. The Fe2+concentration in g...

Aggregation of metal oxide nanoparticles in aqueous media complicates interpretation of in vitro studies of nanoparticle-cell interactions. We used dynamic light scattering to investigate the aggregation dynamics of iron oxide and zinc oxide nanoparticles. Our results show that iron oxide particles aggregate more readily than zinc oxide particles. Pretreatment with serum stabilises iron oxide a...

Time, events, changes, and processes play a major role in medical conceptual modeling. Representation of time-structures and reasoning about time-oriented medical data are important theoretical and practical research areas. We assume that a formal representation of temporal knowledge must use as a framework some top-level ontology which describes the most general categories of temporal entities...

Multi-stage deposition of metals from a sulfate solution with high concentration iron, aluminum, copper, zinc, and nickel has been studied. The concentrations the components correspond to composition sub-basement waters Gaisky GOK. Granular magnesia-silicate reagent based on serpentinite (Khalilovsk magnesite deposit, Orenburg region, Russia) used as an alkaline agent. reagent's ability reduce ...
