calcareous deposits formed on the part of steel that cathodic reactions occur on their surface. the purpose of this research is an investigation of the effect of potential on crystal form of the calcareous deposits and effect of them on the corrosion resistance of the mild steel in natural seawater. the electrochemical tests such as impedance and polarization tofel tests were used in order to i...

Climate change, population growth, and environmental pressures, pose challenges for water resource management. Many countries, like the UK, are projected to experience regional variation in risk of droughts. One solution is use inter-basin transfer (IBT) schemes move from where it abundant scarce. But what first steps studying feasibility such as a solution? How can we ensure an IBT brings more...

BACKGROUND To study the specific antibody response to infection with Mycoplasma mycoides subsp. mycoides Small Colony (MmmSC), the agent of Contagious Bovine Pleuropneumonia (CBPP), we examined three panels of sera collected during three experimental infection trials in African cattle. The methods used included an in-house complement fixation test (CFT), a commercially available CFT, a competit...

A key piece of a validity argument for language assessment tool is clear overlap between tasks and the target use (TLU) domain (i.e., description inference). The TOEFL 2000 Spoken Written Academic Language (T2K-SWAL) corpus, which represents variety academic registers disciplines in traditional learning environments (e.g., lectures, office hours, textbooks, course packs), has served as an impor...

In China, with the development of the era, the Architectural Design (AD) education has been given the requirement that students should master creative thinking mode and design method. The teaching target of integrating the Information-Based Teaching (IBT) into Creative Thinking (CT) mode is analyzed, and the Teaching Mode (TM) of integrating the information-based teaching into architectural des...

Backgound: Having been influenced by the trend of internationalization of higher education, most universities in Taiwan have implemented an English benchmark requirement for graduation, which requires students to demonstrate their English ability at a specified Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR) level through taking a standardized English language test (e.g., GEPT, IELT...
