Synthesis of Zn(2)Ti(3)O(8) powders for attenuating UVA using TiCl(4), Zn(NO(3))(2)·6H(2)O and NH(4)OH as precursor materials by hydrothermal process has been investigated. The X-ray diffractometry (XRD) results show the phases of ZnO, anatase TiO(2) and Zn(2)Ti(3)O(8) coexisted when the zinc titanate powders were calcined at 600 °C for 1 h. When calcined at 900 °C for 1 h, the XRD results reve...

Zinc plays a protective role in anti-atherosclerosis but the clear mechanism has not been proposed yet. In the present study, we evaluated whether zinc modulates atherosclerotic markers, VACM-1 and ICAM-1 and cell viability both in endothelial cells in vitro and mouse aortic cell viability ex vivo. In study 1, as in vitro model, endothelial EA.hy926 cells were treated with TNFalpha for 5 hours ...

When joining between GA980 and A6061 plates by the FSSW, brittle intermetallic compounds Zn-contained region are formed at joint interface. These local reaction products determine strength of joint. Therefore, bonding interface microstructure analysis is crucial to control process improve strength. This study performed microstructural near on GA980/A6061 joints bonded FSSW. The detailed variati...

abstract: there is always a need to increase a distillate output of solar still. if plates will be used inside solar still then distillate output of solar still are expected to increase. hence, an experimental study is conducted to improve distillate output of basin solar stills by increasing the effective surface area with the help of different plates. for the purpose of experiment, three sola...

Nanoparticles or powders [1–3] show many novel properties different from those of bulk materials and have inspired extensive experimental and theoretical researches. Many physical and chemical methods have been developed to produce metal, alloy, compound or composite nanoparticles. The most basic way for metal nanocrystal growth is to evaporate bulk metal by heating in an inert gas environment....

In this paper, the diversity of complicated dendrite microstructure and its evolution behavior during solidification in different magnesium alloys under various processing conditions were illustrated using synchrotron X-ray imaging technique. A variety dendritic morphologies branching structures revealed, i.e., sixfold plate-like symmetric structure Mg–Al-based structure, 12-branch Mg–Zn-based ...

structural sandwich beams are widely used because of their high specific stiffness and strength, noise reduction, thermal insulation and impact energy absorption characteristics. conventional manufacturing method of composite sandwich structures is completed by a separate adhesive joining stage by which the composite faces are joined to the core. in this investigation, liquid phase sintering in...

One hundred thirty-four putative Bacillus isolates were recovered from soybean rhizosphere soils of Nimar region to select effective zinc solubilizers for increased assimilation of zinc (Zn) in soybean seeds. These isolates were screened in vitro for zinc-solubilization ability on Tris-minimal agar medium supplemented separately with 0.1% zinc in the form of zinc oxide, zinc phosphate, and zinc...
