High-entropy alloys (HEAs) hold promise for achieving excellence performance due to unconventional composition and structure. In this paper, the effect of FeCoCrNiAl HEAs as binder instead Co on microstructure WC cemented carbide was investigated. The isothermal oxidation resistance WC-HEAs carbides with 6, 10, 15 % studies at 700, 800, 900 1000 °C. results revealed that microstrcture dense, av...

One of most important problems in soil thermodynamics is related to soil water hysteresis , which arises mainly from differences in the processes of emptying and filling individual pores during wetting and drying. In a minesoil coming from excavations, amended with six different types of sewage sludge (composted or thermally dried), it was observed that the critical point (c, wc) that separate...

The level of 5-methylcytosine (m5C) in DNA has been observed to change plants response biotic and abiotic stress factors. Little information reported on alterations methylation orthodox tree seeds storage conditions. In the current study, epigenetic integrity was analyzed Pyrus communis L. conventional cryogenic storage. results indicate that under optimal conditions resulted a significant incr...

Literature data from experiments with lactating dairy cows offered silage-based diets was reviewed to evaluate the effects of the grassland legume species Trifolium repens (WC, white clover), Trifolium pratense (RC, red clover) and Medicago sativa (M, lucerne) on feed intake, milk production and milk quality. Seven data sets were created to compare grass silage (G) with grassland legumes in gen...

Jiangsu is a major province located in the east of China, consuming a large amount of water resources. It is considered that improving the comprehensive water use efficiency has an important significance to achieve sustainable development of the economy in Jiangsu. Through extensive literature research and investigation of Jiangsu Province, this paper establishes comprehensive water use efficie...

The recent paper by Heymsfield et al. (2006, hereafter H06) comments on the accuracy of various in situ measurements of the extinction coefficient by in situ cloud probes. The measurements have particular relevance for their contribution to understanding cloudradiative properties. Climate models are largely concerned with predicting fields of electromagnetic radiation. However, they instead tra...

A genetically selected line of White Carneau pigeons (WC-2) was studied in an attempt to relate changes in composition and content of aortic glycosaminoglycan (GAG) to increased atherosclerosis susceptibility. The WC-2 pigeons were fed an atherogenic diet for 3 months and, when compared to randomly bred White Carneau (RBWC) controls, they showed similar plasma cholesterol concentrations but sig...

UNLABELLED The use of erbium lasers to prevent caries in enamel has shown positive results. However, it is not known if Er,Cr:YSGG laser can also be used to increase acid resistance of root dentine, which is another dental tissue susceptible to the action of cariogenic bacteria. OBJECTIVE To analyze the effects of the Er,Cr:YSGG laser (λ=2.78 μm, 20 Hz) irradiation associated with 2% neutral ...
