A new ceramic sintering approach employing plastic deformation as the dominant mechanism is proposed, at low temperature close to the onset point of grain growth and under high pressure. Based on this route, fully dense boron carbide without grain growth can be prepared at 1,675-1,700 °C and under pressure of (≥) 80 MPa in 5 minutes. The dense boron carbide shows excellent mechanical properties...

The effect of milling on the particle size and mechanical properties Tungsten Carbide - Cobalt composite were investigated. First, raw materials ratios by mechanical milling for 4 hours at 300 rpm were mixed. The powder in the optimum temperature 1350°C at a rate of temperature rise 50°C / min and shelf life of 4 minutes and the pressure MPa 30 were sintered in SPS. The results indicated nearly...

Background. Fracture repair is a complex process. An inappropriate diet is a contributing risk factor for fracture nonunion. The aim of this study was to extract dietary recommendations for fracture healing according to traditional Persian medicine (TPM) literature. Method. The contents relevant to diets in fracture healing were selected from main textbooks in TPM like Al Qanon fi Alteb (The Ca...

We introduce here a technique, "label-fracture," that allows the observation of the distribution of a cytochemical label on a cell surface. Cell surfaces labeled with an electron-dense marker (colloidal gold) are freeze-fractured and the fracture faces are replicated by plantinum/carbon evaporation. The exoplasmic halves of the membrane, apparently stabilized by the deposition of the Pt/C repli...

This thesis investigates the transport behavior of a common category of industrial pollutants, known as Dense, Non-Aqueous Phase Liquids (DNAPLs). These organic chemicals are more dense than water and relatively insoluble. A typical release of DNAPL at the ground surface will migrate downward, relatively unhindered, until it reaches an impermeable clay layer or bedrock, where a pool begins to f...

INTRODUCTION Anabolic steroid is an established drug for treating catabolic states. The said drug has been shown to restore the lean body mass, to prevent osteoporosis and to correct the impaired immune response, but only few studies have evaluated the effect of the same on fracture healing. METHODS Fracture was produced by an impact device in 24 rabbits which were divided into experimental (...

In this study, the bone structures, nanomechanical properties and fracture behaviors in different groups of female C57BL/6 mice (control, sham operated, ovariectomized, casein supplemented, and fermented milk supplemented) were examined by micro-computed tomography, scanning and transmission electron microscopy, and nanoindentation. The control and sham operated mice showed dense bone structure...

Vertical silos are large cylinders used for material storage in agriculture and mineral industries. One of the silo problems is its obstruction due to dome and dense packing. Depend on the material properties and silo dimensions several techniques are used to solve this problem. In the present work, possibility of obstruction solution of a laboratory silo by ball impact is investigated. Test ma...
