In this research, tribological characteristics of Ni-P electroless coating and double-layered Ni-P/Ni-B electroless coating were studied. For this purpose, Ni-P electroless coating with 25 μm thickness was initially applied to the surface of steel Ck45 samples; then, a double-layered Ni-P/Ni-B electroless coating, including inner layer of Ni-P with 15 μm thickness and outer layer of Ni-B with 1...

The root is an important plant part contributing to peanut productivity underwater-limited conditions. Root volume, root surface area and root diameter may becharacters responding to pre-flowering drought (PFD) in peanut. The objectives ofthis study were to investigate the responses to PFD for root surface area, rootvolume and root diameter and to determine the inter-relationships among theresp...

the aim of this research is the assessment of the relation between rainfall and large scale synoptically patterns at khorasan razavi province. in this study, using adaptive neuro fuzzy inference system, the rainfall estimation has been done from april to june in the area under study. spring rainfall data including the information of 38 synoptic, climatologic and rain gauge stations from 1970 to...

in this work, the effect of presence of the sodium tripolyphosphate (stpp), as an inorganic salt, on improving the performance of polyamide (pa) thin layer membranes has been studied. characterization analyses confirmed the presence of the salt on the whole surface structure of the thin layer. different salt loadings resulted in different fluxes and cu (ii) rejections. the thin layer containing...

A lightweight, high frequency response, floating element sensor was used to measure wall shear stress fluctuations in an atmospheric surface layer. The sensor uses a laser position measurement system to track the motion of the floating element. The measurements were taken as part of an internationally coordinated experimental program designed to make extensive spatial and temporal measurements ...
