an extensive study of higher alcohol synthesis (has) from synthesis gas using cobalt (co) promoted alkalized mos2 catalysts supported on carbon nanotubes (cnts) is reported. up to  5wt.% of co is added to the 15wt.% mo-wt.%k/ cnts by incipient wetness impregnation method. most of the metal particles were homogeneously distributed inside the tubes and the rest on the outer surface of the cnts. t...

for the purposes of this study, hydroxyapatite (ha)-al2o3-tio2 nanobiocomposites with significant mechanical properties, biocompatibility and capability to form surface apatite were fabricated by cold pressing and sintering. samples were examined for their compressive strengths. the results of compression experiments showed that sample a (50 wt.% tio2-30 wt.% ha- 20 wt.% al2o3) was superior com...

There is need for bioplastics to replace some of the total petroleum plastics used in the world, and help alleviate environmental pollution. Compounding bioplastics with Polyethylene (PE) or Polylactic acid (PLA) containing a dairy-based bioplastic resulted in composites with good mechanical properties. In this study, mass ratios of a dairy-protein-based material (DBP) ranging from 0, 5, 10 and...

Recent studies suggest a link between exercise-induced rhabdomyolysis and mutations of the ryanodine receptor (RYR1) associated with malignant hyperthermia (MH). We hypothesized that MH-susceptible mice (RYR1Y522S/wt) would exhibit greater anterior crural muscle [tibialis anterior (TA) and extensor digitorum longus (EDL) muscles] damage and strength deficits following the performance of a singl...
