Definition 1.1. Let C be a category, and X, Y, Z objects of C. Fix also morphisms πX : X → Z, πY : Y → Z. Given this data, we say that an object P of C, together with morphisms p1 : P → X, p2 : P → Y is a fiber product of X with Y over Z if it satisfies the following universal property: For every object T ∈ Obj(C), and every pair of morphisms f : T → X, g : T → Y such that πX ◦ f = πY ◦ g, ther...

Objectives: To evaluate the in vitro activity of aqueous and methanolic extracts of stem bark of Terminalia glaucescens on the eggs and larval stages of Haemonchus contortus of sheep. Methods: The eggs were exposed for 24 hours in five different concentrations (625, 1250, 2500, 3750 and 5000 μg/ml) of methanol, hot water (decoction) and cold water extracts at room temperature (25 ̊C). Distilled ...

This study investigates the temperature-dependent debonding properties of 316 Stainless Steel (SS), Inconel 625, and Ti-6Al-4V alloys in additive manufacturing using finite element method. The analysis reveals notable relations between mechanical resistance among these materials. 625 demonstrates superior performance at elevated temperatures, while SS show earlier degradation. Regarding resista...

Powder bed binder jet printing (BJP) is an additive manufacturing method in which powder is deposited layer-by-layer and selectively joined in each layer with binder. The data presented here relates to the characterization of the as-received feedstock powder, BJP processing parameters, sample preparation and sintering profile ("Effect of solutionizing and aging on the microstructure and mechani...

BACKGROUND Despite evidence suggesting roles for caspase-8 (CASP8) -652 6N del and D302H polymorphisms in prostate cancer (PCa), the association of these polymorphisms with PCa risk remains inconclusive. Therefore, a meta-analysis was performed to more precisely estimate the association of CASP8 -652 6N del and D302H polymorphisms with PCa susceptibility. MATERIALS AND METHODS A comprehensive...

Deployment of a suspension feedstock has been known to alleviate problems associated with using sub-micron and nanosized powder for thermal spraying monolithic as well powder-suspension ‘hybrid’ composite coatings. However, hybrid never previously used in high-velocity air-fuel (HVAF) spraying. In this work, the very first time, chromium carbide (Cr3C2) co-sprayed along an Inconel-625 (IN-625) ...

Rods act as color receptors in dim illumination. Several recent studies have measured the range of colors at low-light levels in different illuminants. This paper reviews these results and adds new experiments using long-wave-rich illumination, appropriate for rod and long-wave cone interactions. The experiment illuminates Munsell ColorChecker papers with 546, and then with 455 nm narrowband li...

Purpose: To investigate the pharmacokinetic mechanism of interaction between magnolol and piperine when co-administered to rats. Methods: The rats were divided into five groups as follows: magnolol group (625 mg/kg); low dose of piperine group (20 mg/kg); high dose of piperine group (40 mg/kg); low dose of piperine + magnolol group; or high dose of piperine + magnolol group. Plasma samples were...
