Parity indicators in human skeletal material are highly desirable yet elusive. In this study, the relationships of dorsal pits and pubic tubercle elongation to parity are investigated in a sample of 148 modern female sets of pubic bones with associated birth information. The elongation of the pubic tubercle shows no significant correlation with number of births, but instead is associated with t...

The 17-4PH alloy is a martensitic stainless steel with 3–5 wt% Cu, strengthened by the precipitation hardening. Due to excellent mechanical properties, corrosion resistance and ease of heat treatment, this alloy has unique applications in nuclear power plants and marine constructions. In this paper, the influence of ageing heat treatment, solution annealing followed by ageing at 480, 550 and 62...

• Localized corrosion of stainless steel alloys in wastewater treated with an AOP. Dissolved ozone does not result increased pitting susceptibility. Pitting the studied lean duplex is induced by Fenton reagents. Crevice observed both and The examined when applied as a construction material advanced oxidation processes. Both electrochemical immersion experiments have been carried out subjecting ...

The present study deals with the pitting and repassivation behavior of a nickel-reduced austenitic stainless steel different nitrogen contents. While promoted resistance to pitting, no significant effect on was found. also aims address experimental difficulties in determining potentials owing occurrence crevice corrosion. Furthermore, mechanism ongoing reactions investigated, indicating that in...
