To date, high compressive ductility and energy absorption have been achieved in amorphous metal foams based on high-toughness Pdand Zr-based metallic glasses and are known to result from two extrinsic toughening mechanisms: bending of struts and shear band arrest by pores. We study here a syntactic amorphous metallic foam produced by infiltration of a bed of hollow crystalline iron spheres with...

Large, solid, undissolved food particles instantly enter the body from the intestinal lumen. We examined this phenomenon which we called 'persorption'. Such large particles are kneaded between the cells into the subepithelial region through the epithelial cell layer. Transport from the intestinal wall is via the portal system and by means of the chyle (Fig. 1). Starch granules with a diameter r...

Space weathering is now commonly accepted to modify the optical and magnetic properties of airless body regoliths throughout the Solar System. Although the precise formation processes are not well understood, the presence of ubiquitous sub-microscopic metallic iron (SMFe) grains in lunar soils and corresponding spectral analyses have explained both the unique optical and magnetic properties of ...

Metallic nanoparticles have huge applications in all the fields including agriculture and its allied sciences. This study aims at evaluating possible implications of iron oxide nanoparticles on the growth and development of rice (Oryza sativa L.). Rice is feeding hunger of half of the World’s population and yet found to be highly sensitive towards iron deficiency especially at seedling stage. T...

The reduction of Fe2O3 powder at the top layer by the volatiles from high volatile (HV) bituminous coal at the bottom layer of a multilayer powder geometry including a separating alumina layer was studied. The simultaneous effects of the alumina layer thickness, time, temperature and the weight of coal on the amount of reduction and coal devolatilization were studied by implementing a rotatable...

fischer-tropsch catalysts with high activity and selectivity for olefins were produced using mordenite type sio2/al2o3= 12, 20, 28, 62 zeolite supported iron carbonyl compounds and were characterized by x-ray powder diffraction. the adsorptionof volatile fe(co)5 on the support surface was carried out under vacuum at room temperature. reduction les were monitored by vibrating sample magnetometer...

Metallic materials are mostly a combination of metallic elements, such as iron, aluminum, magnesium, titanium and manganese, which may also include small amounts non-metallic carbon, nitrogen oxygen [...]

Using wastes as starting raw materials is a common method to reduce the production costs and the environmental pollution problems arising from such wastes. In this study the production and crystallization behavior of an iron rich glass prepared by iron and steel making wastes has been investigated. The raw materials used, were the blast furnace slag, the blast furnace dust, converter slag and s...

conclusions anesthetic and surgical management was difficult due to the inability to position in supine and rapidly progressing hemorrhagic shock. surgical management for extraction of this iron bar and intensive monitoring and resuscitation resulted in an uneventful successful outcome. introduction penetrating thoracoabdominal injuries are potentially life threatening due to the associated hem...
