calcium doped nickel ferrite powders have been prepared by sol-gel combustion technique. metal nitrates, such as calcium nitrate, nickel nitrate and ferric nitrate, were used as the source materials and citric acid and polyvinyl alcohol were used as the burning agent and agglomeration reducing agent, respectively. the average crystallite size of the prepared ferrite was in the order of ~70- 92 ...

Burning Mouth Syndrome (BMS) is a chronic pain condition characterized by an intraoral burning sensation and absence of oral mucosal lesions disturbances in laboratory findings. symptoms usually affect the anterior two-thirds tongue, its lateral borders, hard palate labial mucosa, but other cavity sites may also be affected. Taste alterations decrease salivary flow rate frequently accompany sym...

The influence of the initial fuel temperature on the burning behavior of n-heptane pool fire was experimentally studied at the State Key Laboratory of Fire Science (SKLFS) large test hall. Circular pool fires with diameters of 100mm, 141 mm, and 200 mm were considered with initial fuel temperatures ranging from 290 K to 363 K. Burning rate and temperature distributions in fuel and vessel wall w...

Although a many studies concerning crop residue burning have been conducted, the influence of crop residue burning on local PM2.5 concentrations remains unclear. The number of crop residue burning spots was the highest in Heilongjiang province and we extracted crop residue burning spots for this region using MOD14A1 (Thermal Anomalies & Fire Daily L3 Global 1 km) data and national land cover da...
