Li[Li0.2Ni0.16Mn0.56Co0.08]O2 nanoparticles were composited with carbon (Super P) in order to achieve an enhanced rate capability. A polydopamine pre-coating layer was introduced to facilitate the adhesion between Super P and pristine nanoparticles. The Super P particles were dispersed on the surface of Li[Li0.2Ni0.16Mn0.56Co0.08]O2 powders. The composite samples that were heat-treated in a N2 ...

the objective of this study was to investigate whether or not the adverse effects of heat on sperm quality could be prevented by green tea extract (gte) administration. ninety adult male mice were randomly divided to two groups. the scrotum of each animal in the first group was immersed once for 20 min in a water bath maintained at 42 oc (heat group, h) and the second group (control group, c) w...

‌‌‌Fatigue behavior of a vanadium microalloy steel has been studied in this research. Here, microstructure constituents were considered which essentially are dependent on the heat treatment conditions. The results of high cycle fatigue tests revealed that heat treatment procedure and cooling rates have significant effects on fatigue properties. Optimal heat treatment cycle of the microalloyed s...

Directional water transport fabrics can proactively transfer moisture from the body. They show great potential in making sportswear and summer clothing. While moisture transfer has been previously reported, heat transfer in directional water transport fabrics has been little reported in research literature. In this study, a directional water transport fabric was prepared using an electrosprayin...

objective(s): hyperthermia is one of the most common environmental stressors that affect multi-biological systems in the body including the central nervous system as well as the hematopoietic organs. the objective of the present study was to investigate the protective role of ethanolic extract of propolis (eep) on some selective stress markers, hematological, biochemical, and histopathological ...

Treatment of poliovirus Type I with 10(-3)m 2-thiouracil (2-TU) resulted in the inactivation of greater than 90% of the virus infectivity and stabilization of approximately 50% of the residual virus to heat inactivation. These effects were due to a reaction with the protein moiety of the virus and could be blocked by pre-treatment of the virus with l-cystine or of the drug with cysteine. Both i...

BACKGROUND Heatstroke often leads to multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS) with a death rate of 40% or a neurological morbidity of 30%. These high rates in patients with heatstroke are largely due to the progression of heat stress to MODS, resulting in no specific treatment available. This study aimed to develop a mouse model of heat stress and determine the pathological changes in the lun...

Synchrotron XPS was used to investigate a series of chemically synthesised, atomically precise gold clusters Au(n)(PPh3)y (n = 8, 9 and 101, y depending on the cluster size) immobilized on anatase (titania) nanoparticles. Effects of post-deposition treatments were investigated by comparison of untreated samples with analogues that have been heat treated at 200 °C in O2, or in O2 followed by H2 ...

In pelvic fracture operations, bone plate shaping is challenging and the operation time is long. To address this issue, a customized bone plate was designed and produced using selective laser melting (SLM) technology. The key steps of this study included designing the customized bone plate, metal 3D printing, vacuum heat treatment, surface post-processing, operation rehearsal, and clinical appl...
