ACTIVATED CARBON FROM SPENT BREWERY BARLEY HUSKS FOR CADMIUM ION ADSORPTION FROM AQUEOUS SOLUTION


Acquisition of innate odor preference depends on spontaneous and experiential activities during critical period

Animals possess an inborn ability to recognize certain odors to avoid predators, seek food, and find mates.Innate odor preference is thought to be genetically hardwired.Here we report that acquisition of innate odor recognition requires spontaneous neural activity and is influenced by sensory experience during early postnatal development.Genetic si

Effect of crystallographic properties on low cycle fatigue crack initiation at elevated temperature for Ni-based directionally solidified superalloy

Low cycle fatigue tests at elevated temperature were conducted on a Ni-based directionally solidified superalloy subjected to transverse loading.To investigate the effect of the arrangement and the orientation of crystal grains on the crack initiation, the electron back-scatter diffraction (EBSD) method was applied on the surface of the tested spec

Comparative analysis of titanium coating on cobalt-chrome alloy in vitro and in vivo direct metal fabrication vs. plasma spraying

Abstracts Background Titanium surface coating on cobalt-chromium (CoCr) alloy has characteristics desirable for an orthopedic implant as follows: strength, osteointegrative capability, and biocompatibility.Creating such a coated surface takes a challenging process and two dissimilar metals are not easily welded.In our study, we utilized additive ma
