Hot-dip galvanizing is one of the most common corrosion protection techniques for steel. This widely available method increases lifetime steel structures by up to 50 years. Although there a well-established hot-dip structural mild-steel, effects this on mechanical properties high and ultra-high strength steels (HSS UHSS), with nominal yield greater than 700MPa, has not been thoroughly studied. ...

Hot-water dips with and without the additives abamectin and sodium hypochlorite were evaluated for control of Ditylenchus dipsaci infection of garlic seed cloves. All treatments were compared to hot water-formalin clove dip disinfection and to nontreated infected controls for garlic emergence, midseason infection, bulb damage, and yield at harvest in field plots in 12 experiments. Hot-water tre...
