The austenitic stainless steel was coated by dipping into a molten Al-12.4%Si alloy at 765oC. The effect of immersion times in the range of 60 to 900 s was investigated with respect to the phase nature, thickness, and microhardness. An uniform layer (~12 m) of Al12(Fe,Cr)3Si2 intermetallic with hexagonal crystalline structure is formed, irrespectively the immersion time. Microhardness of the c...

The effects of Mentha pulegium water extract dipping on quality and shelf life of silver carp during superchilled storage were investigated. Fish samples were treated with water extract of 1 and 3%M.pulegium, and then stored at -3 οC for 30 days. The control and the treatedfish samples were analyzed periodically for chemical (pH, PV, TBA, TVB-N), and sensory characteristics. The results indicat...

In this study nanosized TiO2coatings on the 316L stainless steel substrate were prepared by means of dip-coating technique in which thickness of the coating layer increased byrepeating the coating cycles in two different routes: (I) dipping and drying,respectively, were repeated one, three and five times and finally the dried coated sample was heat treated (single); (II) multiple heat treatment...

1) An accretionary prism with a constant width of approximately 75 km does exist; 2) The morphology of this prism varies rapidly along the arc and is linked, firstly to the morphology and structure of the upper part of the dipping plate and, secondly to the presence of volcanic island acting as sediment sources; The island arc and its connecting structural features such as troughs at the rear o...

Control While many intervention techniques have been developed and applied with varying degrees of success, it remains clear that a comprehensive method for tick control still needs to be realised, especially for resource­constrained farmers. Conventional methods involve the use of commercial acaricides under intense dipping program­ mes. In Zimbabwe, the Department of Veterinary Services (DVS)...

[1] The 8th October 2005 Kashmir Earthquake Mw 7.6 involved primarily thrust motion on a NE-dipping fault. Sub-pixel correlation of ENVISAT SAR images gives the location of the 80 km-long fault trace (within 300–800 m) and a 3D surface displacement field with a sub-metric accuracy covering the whole epicentral area. The slip distribution inverted using elastic dislocation models indicates that ...
