First, Schiff base iminopyridine ligands has been prepared by the condensation between primaryamines, different substituted anilines and active carbonyl group of pyridine carboxaldehyde, thenthe complexes [diiodo (3-ethylphenyl) pyridine-2-yl methylene amine] mercury(II), complex a,[dibromo (2,5-dimethylphenyl) pyridine-2-yl methylene amine] mercury(II) complex b, and[dinitrato bis-(2,6-dimethy...

We have studied the residual stresses associated with the PIGMA welding of two right circular beryllium rings. Using spatially resolved neutron diffraction techniques (resolution of 4.5 mm) we have determined residual strains in the beryllium base metal using the interplanar spacings of the (1010) , ) 0 2 11 ( and ) 3 1 10 ( crystallographic planes as a function of axial distance from the weld ...

Metal complexes of Cu (II), Co (II), Ni (II) and Zn (II) of Schiff based derived from 5-bromo-2hydroxybenzaldehyde and 4-nitobenzenesulfonamide have been prepared and characterized on the basis of physical characteristics, micro-analytical data, H NMR, FTIR spectrum and electronic data. The spectrum data 1 exhibit coordination of Schiff base with metal through imine nitrogen and oxygen atom and...

The imidazole-Ag(I)-imidazole base pair is one of the best-investigated artificial metal-mediated base pairs. We show here that its stability can be further improved by formally replacing the imidazole moiety by a 2-methylimidazole or 4-methylimidazole moiety. A comparison of the thermal stability of several double helices shows that the addition of one equivalent of Ag(I) leads to a 50% larger...

Biodiesel production is worthy of continued study and optimization of production procedures due to its environmentally beneficial attributes and its renewable nature. Heterogeneous transesterification is considered to be a green process. The process requires neither catalyst recovery nor aqueous treatment steps and very high yields of methyl esters can be obtained, close to the theoretical valu...

Aluminium base alloy (Al-Cu-Si) was reinforced with silicon carbide (SiC) particles, in various percentage compositions from 0-20 wt%. Silicon carbide particle size of 20µm was selected. The molten slurry of SiC reinforced base aluminium metal was casted through green and dry sand casting methods and solidification process was carried out under ambient conditions. A selected population...

OBJECTIVE The aims of the study are to assess the marginal accuracy of base metal and titanium alloy casting and to evaluate the effect of repeated ceramic firing on the marginal accuracy of base metal and titanium alloy castings. MATERIALS AND METHODS Twenty metal copings were fabricated with each casting material. Specimens were divided into 4 groups of 10 each representing base metal alloy...

STATEMENT OF PROBLEM Zirconia-based restorations have the common technical complication of delamination, or porcelain chipping, from the zirconia core. Thus the shear bond strength between the zirconia core and the veneering porcelain requires investigation in order to facilitate the material's clinical use. PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to evaluate the bonding strength of the porcela...
