In recent years, ultra-high-strength structural (UHSS) steel in quenched and tempered (Q+T) conditions, for example, S960QL has been found wider application areas such as structures, cranes, trucks due to its extraordinary material properties acceptable weldability. The motivation of the study is investigate unique capabilities electron beam welding (EBW) compared conventional gas metal arc (GM...

Introduction: to evaluate the effect of excess body weight (EBW) and obesity on survival patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) in REKUR-AF study.
 Materials methods: A subanalysis AF included (382 people) study was performed. Survival rates were analyzed three patient groups: normal mass index (BMI), EBW obesity. Then nature significance influence studied factor prognosis assessed.

A comparative slaughter trial was conducted to estimate the phosphorus (P) requirement for maintenance and growth of crossbred lambs of Dorper with a Chinese indigenous sheep breed, thin-tailed Han sheep. Thirty-five Dorper×thin-tailed Han crossbred, noncastrated ram lambs (20.3±0.22 kg of shrunk body weight (SBW)) were used. Seven lambs were randomly chosen and slaughtered at 20 kg SBW as the ...

Acoustic Emission (AE) Technique is the only Non Destructive Testing (NDT) method that can be thought of to be used as an online monitoring tool for detection, location and characterization of various kinds of active defects during any process. An effective approach of quality control is defect detection during welding process itself rather than by NDT of component after welding. Weld defects g...

The aim of this study was to evaluate the productive and biological efficiency of steers and heifers from dairy genetics in a feedlot system in terms of meat production. Twenty-four steers and 24 heifers at 10 monthes of age, (3/4) Zebu × (1/4) Holstein were utilized. They were distributed over four feedlot times, 30, 60, 90, and 120 days with four replications for each sex, and were slaughtere...

A system to heat electrons and possibly drive off-axis field-aligned current is under development on the Madison Symmetric Torus RFP. Staged experiments have reached an input power of 150kW at 3.6GHz and have produced a localized increase in SXR emission during rf injection. This measured emission is consistent with modeling in its location, energy spectrum and dependence on radial diffusion wi...

In this study phenotypic and genetic factors affecting the reproductive efficiency of Lori-Bakhtiari ewes were determined using 8202 reproductive records of 2478 ewes collected at Shooli research station in the southwestern part of Iran (Shahrekord) during 1989 to 2012. Reproductive efficiency over all consecutive lambing opportunities were calculated by adding the total reproductive efficiency...

MAST-Upgrade (MAST-U) is undergoing several enhancements to deliver increased performance and functionality. One such enhancement the design, development, implementation of an Electron Bernstein Wave (EBW) Heating Current Drive (HCD) System. The MAST-U EBW System aims provide experimental data for model validation, a greater understanding physics its capabilities. provides up 1.8 MW microwave p...

In the large helical device (LHD), direct oblique launching of the extraordinary (X-) mode from the high magnetic field side is available without installation of any additional mirror or installation of a launcher in the inner side of the torus. The launched X-mode first encounters the electron cyclotron resonance (ECR) layer from the high magnetic field side and then approaches the upper hybri...

Sixteen dry ewes of the fat-tailed Barbary breed were used to formulate prediction equations of body water, fat, protein and energy content from the live body weight (BW) and the dilution space of deuterium oxide (SD O). Ewes were injected 2 with 0.5 g D O/kg BW and four blood samples collected after infusion. The D O content of blood water was determined by 2 2 infra-red spectrometry. Ewes wer...
