A Lysine Substitute for K+

Using Scrap Tires in EAFs as a Substitute for Carbon

EAF plants normally consume coal and coke as reactants, alloying elements, or fuel. The price of these materials varies from € 0.20-0.35/kg. This is while nearly 10 million pieces of tires are annually discarded in Iran. The present study shows that scrap tires can be used as a substitute for coal and coke in EAF plants. Thirteen grades of steel including low, medium, and high carbon steels as ...

A polycaprolactone bio-nanocomposite bone substitute fabricated for femoral fracture approaches: Molecular dynamic and micromechanical Investigation

The application of porous bio-nanocomposites polymer has greatly increased in the treatment of boneabnormalities and bone fracture. Therefore, predicting the mechanical properties of these bio-nanocompositesare very important prior to their fabrication. Investigation of mechanical properties like (elasticmodulus and hardness) is very costly and time-consuming in experimental t...

Nitinol Spinal Vertebrae: A Favorable New Substitute

Scoliosis, kyphosis, and bone fracture are health problems, especially of the elderly throughout the world. The vertebra protects the spinal cord. Any impairment to the vertebra can lead to pain and nervousness. Ni-Ti alloy (Nitinol) helps to resolve the problem by fulfilling such requirements as for strength, durability, resistance to wear, and shockwave damping which is due to the shape memor...

A Substitute for Morphine. A Preliminary Communication

Hydroxymethyl lysine is a source of bioavailable lysine for ruminants.

Experiments were conducted to evaluate the availability to ruminants of lysine from hydroxymethyl lysine, a product potentially resistant to ruminal degradation yet able to release free lysine when subjected to the acidic environment of the abomasum. An in vitro ruminal fermentation assay that led to ammonia production from free lysine was used for initial assessments, but the hydroxymethyl lys...
