Cavitation Erosion of Cermet-Coated Aluminium Bronzes

The cavitation erosion resistance of CuAl10Ni5Fe2.5Mn1 following plasma spraying with Al₂O₃·30(Ni20Al) powder and laser re-melting was analyzed in view of possible improvements of the lifetime of components used in hydraulic environments. The cavitation erosion resistance was substantially improved compared with the one of the base material. The thickness of the re-melted layer was in the range...

Storage of spent nuclear fuels in nevada.

American Asociation forthe Advancement of Science Science serves its readers as a forum for the presentation and discussion of important issues related to the advancement of science, including the presentation of minority or conflicting points of view, rather than by publishing only material on which a consensus has been reached. Accordingly, all articles published in Science-including editoria...

Hydrogen for Synthetic Fuels via Nuclear Energy

Fluctuations in availability and recent increases in price of petroleum have had profound effects on the national economy. As synthetic fuels, in particular, hydrogen, become increasingly attractive, nuclear energy has a role in developing such fuels. It is postulated that the nuclear radiation of the fission process itself can be utilized directly in fluid fueled devices or radiation and heat ...

The effective nuclear delivery of doxorubicin from dextran-coated gold nanoparticles larger than nuclear pores.

To date, gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) have been investigated for diverse bioapplications. Generally, AuNPs are engineered to possess surface coating with organic/inorganic shells to increase colloidal stability in biological solutions and to facilitate chemical conjugation. In the present study, we developed a strategy to prepare dextran-coated AuNPs with control over its size by simply boiling a...
