In this paper, the corrosion residual strength of the AZ91D magnesium alloy in the presence of sulfate-reducing bacteria is studied. In the experiments, the chemical composition of corrosion film was analyzed by a scanning electron microscope with energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. In addition, a series of instruments, such as scanning electronic microscope, pH-meter and an AG-10TA materials...

The static loading plate tests have been done in different engineering works and particularly in earthwork quality control. At Portugal AFNOR NF P94-117-1 and DIN 18134 standards are frequently used for this purpose. These standards differ on the test protocol and on test interpretation, which reflects on the final elastic modulus obtained. Attempting the importance that this parameter assumes ...

This is a dummy paper to test the loading of heterogenous papers into the citeseer database. It was generated using the “SCIgenAn Automatic CS Paper Generator” [12]. I then inserted random references through out the paper pointing to papers randomly downloaded from the dtic web site to test. Any text contained in this pseudo paper is completely artificial.

BACKGROUND Although low magnesium levels have been associated with an increased mortality in dialysis patients, they are kept low by routinely-used dialysates containing 0.50 mmol/L magnesium. Thus, we investigated the impact of a higher dialysate magnesium concentration on mortality. METHODS 25 patients on high dialysate magnesium (HDM) of 0.75 mmol/L were 1:2 matched to 50 patients on low d...

The cause of preeclampsia remains unknown and calcium and magnesium supplement are being suggested as means of prevention. The objective of this study was to assess magnesium and calcium in the plasma and cerebrospinal fluid of Nigerian women with preeclampsia and eclampsia. Setting was University of Benin Teaching Hospital, in Nigeria. It was a cross-sectional study comprising of eleven patien...

The objective of the present study was to investigate the use of propranolol-magnesium aluminium silicate intercalated complexes as drug reservoirs in hydroxypropylmethylcellulose tablets. The matrix tablets containing the complexes were prepared and characterised with respect to propranolol release and were subsequently compared with those loading propranolol or a propranolol-magnesium alumini...

Magnesium is the fourth most abundant cation in the body and plays an important physiological role in many of its functions. Magnesium balance is maintained by renal regulation of magnesium reabsorption. The exact mechanism of the renal regulation is not fully understood. Magnesium deficiency is a common problem in hospital patients, with a prevalence of about 10%. There are no readily availabl...

This study investigates the formulation of surfactant-free Pickering emulsions that release a drug at specific pH to improve its oral bioavailability. The stabilizing particles composed magnesium carbonate particles. oil-in-water stabilized with and encapsulating hydrophobic model (ibuprofen) were formulated using high-energy process rotor-stator turbo mixer (IKA® T25 digital ultra-Turrax). exp...
