Metallic glass has excellent functions such as high strength and high corrosion resistance. Therefore, it is one of the most attractive materials, and various developmental research works have been conducted by many researchers. However, the metallic glass material is expensive to use, and a composite material is preferred for the industrial application. Thermal spraying method is one of potent...

A highly dense Ni59Zr20Ti16Si2Sn3 partial amorphous metallic coating, about 500mm thick, was fabricated by means of HVAF (High Velocity Air Fuel) thermal spraying. Amorphous alloy powders produced by using gas atomization were used for HVAF thermal spraying to produce an amorphous metallic coating. Microstructural investigation showed that crystallization and oxidation occurred during thermal s...

The effect of Gibberellic Acid (GA3) and Benzyladenine (BA) on Aloe vera was evaluated at pot cultivation conditions. This study was performed in two factorial test based on complete random plan and 4 repeats with 12 treatments. The main factor was included spraying, drip and spraying + drip. Secondary factor was included concentrations of GA3 and BA at 0, 100...

Walnut Anthracnose is among the major diseases of walnut trees in Qazvin Province which is scattered as an epidemic disease in the recent years. This research is designed to study and comparison of control methods of Anthracnose disease in walnut trees of Roodbar region. After selecting the infected garden and implementing winter and spring spraying treatments, winter spraying treatment and con...

Biofabrication commonly involves the use of liquid droplets to transport cells to the printed structure. However, the viability of the cells after impact is poorly controlled and understood, hampering applications including cell spraying, inkjet bioprinting, and laser-assisted cell transfer. Here, we present an analytical model describing the cell viability after impact as a function of the cel...

The ultrafine aerosol emitted by thermal spraying of metals using flame and electric arc processes has been characterized in terms of particle size distribution and emission rates based on both particle number and mass. Thermal spraying of Zn, Zn/Al, and Al was studied. Measurements taken using an electrical low pressure impactor and a condensation nucleus counter reveal an aerosol made up of v...

The operational impact of deltamethrin resistance on the efficacy of indoor insecticide applications to control Aedes aegypti was evaluated in Merida, Mexico. A randomized controlled trial quantified the efficacy of indoor residual spraying (IRS) against adult Ae. aegypti in houses treated with either deltamethrin (to which local Ae. aegypti expressed a high degree of resistance) or bendiocarb ...

Alumina-titania coatings are widely used in industry for wear, abrasion or corrosion protection components. Such layers are commonly deposited by atmospheric plasma spraying (APS) using powder as feedstock. In this study, both Al2O3 and Al2O3-13 wt% TiO2 coatings were deposited on austenitic stainless steel coupons by suspension plasma spraying (SPS). Two commercial suspensions of nanosized Al2...

In the laboratory, optoelectronic stereophotogrammetry is one of the most commonly used motion capture systems; particularly, when position- or orientation-related analyses of human movements are intended. However, for many applied research questions, field experiments are indispensable, and it is not a priori clear whether optoelectronic stereophotogrammetric systems can be expected to perform...
