This work investigated the effect of pre-strain and microstructures their interactions on hydrogen trapping behaviors in case 1-GPa high-strength martensitic steel Fe–0.05C–0.30Si–1.10Mn–3.50Ni–0.53Cr–0.50Mo–0.03 V (wt%). We found that trapped reversible irreversible contents increased significantly after applying a 5%, with an increase content from 0.6 ppm original sample to 2.1 ppm. The desor...

Five recycled coarse aggregate (RCA) treatment techniques including flow-through carbonation, pressurized wet nano silica (NS) pre-spraying and combined carbonation with NS pre-spraying, were utilized to improve the performance of concrete (RAC). The characteristics stress–strain curves RACs peak stress, strain, elastic modulus, ultimate strain toughness evaluated after using above RCA techniqu...

due to the great variety of applications of magnesium alloys with superior mechanical properties, recent studies have been focused on the hot deformation behavior and microstructure of magnesium alloy castings. although there have been several recent investigations on the microstructure of wrought magnesium alloys after hot deformation, a limited number of studies have been conducted with regar...

Salmonellae are a significant cause of morbidity and mortality globally. Here, we report the first complete genome sequence for Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica serovar Java strain NCTC5706. This strain is of historical significance, having been isolated in the pre-antibiotic era and was deposited into the National Collection of Type Cultures in 1939.

A controllable optical anisotropy in CVD graphene is shown. The transparency in the visible range of pre-strained CVD graphene exhibits a periodic modulation as a function of polarization direction. The strain sensitivity of the optical response of graphene demonstrated here can be effectively utilized towards novel ultra-thin optical devices and strain sensing applications.

AIMS To determine the feasibility of strain rate imaging (SRI) in the objective detection of exercise-induced ischaemia. METHODS AND RESULTS Sixteen patients undergoing elective percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) underwent treadmill exercise stress echocardiography (ESE) pre- and post-PCI. Measurement of systolic SRI parameters was attempted in all myocardial segments at baseline, peak ...

INTRODUCTION Saccharomyces cerevisiae is the micro-organism of choice for the conversion of fermentable sugars released by the pre-treatment of lignocellulosic material into bioethanol. Pre-treatment of lignocellulosic material releases acetic acid and previous work identified a cytochrome oxidase chaperone gene (COX20) which was significantly up-regulated in yeast cells in the presence of acet...
