The mechanical properties of Mg-4wt.% Zn alloy single crystals along the [0001] orientation were measured through micropillar compression at 23 °C and 100 °C. Basal slip was dominant in solution treated alloy, while pyramidal occurred precipitation hardened alloy. Pyramidal dislocations pass precipitates by forming Orowan loops, leading to homogeneous deformation a strong hardening. predictions...

It is well known that the principal disadvantage of any method for the determination of calcium involving precipitation as calcium oxalate lies in washing the precipitate. The solubility of the precipitate in water or in dilute ammonium hydroxide is appreciable and, in centrifuging, a small amount of calcium oxalate tends to float on the surface of the liquid and is lost in decanting. The satis...

There are some precipitates that undergo transition from a coherent to semi-coherent state during growth. An example of such a precipitate in steel is carbide with a NaCl-type structure, such as TiC and NbC. The interface energy between carbide precipitate and iron is obtained via large-scale first-principles electronic structure calculation. The strain energy is estimated by structure optimiza...

The interaction between enzymes and their substrates to form intermediate complexes has long been of interest. We have found that when pepsin and egg albumin are mixed in solution at about pH 4 a precipitate forms. The influence of protein and of ion concentrations on the amount of precipitate so formed has been studied. It has been found that the precipitate dissolves at higher ionic concentra...

IT MAY BE CONCLUDED THAT, UNDER THE CONDITIONS OF THE EXPERIMENTS: 1. The inhibiting action on homologous fibroblasts of the heated serum of a young animal increases relatively more than that of an old animal. After it has been heated, the inhibiting action of the serum of the old animal is still greater than that of the young animal. 2. The CO(2) precipitate obtained from the serum of a young ...

We examined the mechanism by which hypertriglyceridemia interferes with the Roche Diagnostics "Amylochrome" procedure for measurement of amylase in lactescent samples with normal and above-normal amylase activity. The serum blank recommended in the Amylochrome protocol to compensate for lactescence remains inappropriately turbid, compared with the test, and is partly responsible for the underes...

The synthesis of pure and well dispersed lutetium aluminum garnet (LuAG) powder is crucial and important for the preparation of LuAG transparent ceramics. In this paper, high purity and well dispersed LuAG powders have been synthesized via co-precipitation method with lutetium nitrate and aluminum nitrate as raw materials. Ammonium hydrogen carbonate (AHC) was used as the precipitant. The influ...
