Rectal temperatures (Tre) of 400C and greater have been recorded from men immediately after completing marathon (42.2 km) races (Pugh, Corbett et al, 1967; Costill, Kammer et al, 1970; Wyndham, Strydom, 1969). Data on two male runners suggest that after an early initial rise in Tre, a high Tre (390C to 410C) is maintained throughout the run (Maron, Wagner et al, 1977). To provide information co...

functional response of stethorus gilvifrons mulsant to varying densities of different developmental stages of eutetranychus orientalis klein was examined in a simplified castor bean leaf disc arena under the laboratory condition. one s.gilvifrons female was isolated individually for 24h with different prey densities (4,8,12,24,48,96,120) at 300c and photoperiod of 14:10 (l:d) h. the number of p...

Rheological properties of different heavy oils and their emulsions were measured using RheolabQC rheometer, and their phase inversion were observed using XP-300C microscopic image system. The viscosity of water in oil emulsions constantly increases as the content of bound water rises, and suddenly decreases while it increases to a certain extent, which is corresponding to its phase inversion po...

Aluminium base alloy (Al-Cu-Si) was reinforced with silicon carbide (SiC) particles, in various percentage compositions from 0-20 wt%. Silicon carbide particle size of 20µm was selected. The molten slurry of SiC reinforced base aluminium metal was casted through green and dry sand casting methods and solidification process was carried out under ambient conditions. A selected population...

Seven models, available commercially for the self-measurement of blood pressure, were subjected to a validation procedure in which three devices of each model were tested by observers who were trained to a high standard of accuracy. The models were the Omron HEM-400C, the Philips HP5308, the Healthcheck 'Cuffless' CX-5 060020, the Nissei Analogue Monitor, the Philips HP5306/B, the Systema Dr MI...

Chemical spray pyrolysis technique was used at temperature 250˚C with annealing 400C˚( for 1hour) to deposition tungsten oxide thin film different doping concentration of Au nanoparticle (0, 10, 20, 30 and 40) wt.% on glass substrate thickness about 100 nm. The structural electrical properties were investigated. structure shows that the films by x-ray diffraction (XRD) (250˚C) amorphous while h...

Testing the effect of distance and laser beam heat on engraving results using two specimens as test materials, namely teak wood durian wood. The testing process is to make circles rectangles with a diameter 20 mm which are inputted into program followed by process. measured how many differences occur so that closest level precision obtained variations in beam. From test, it was found has more p...

Abstract: TiO2 thin films were prepared by spray pyrolysis technique at a substrate temperature of 350C under optimum conditions. Films have uniform thickness varying from 0.3–6 μm and good adhesion to substrate. The films were characterized by XRD, SEM and EDAX measurements. XRD profile shows poly crystalline nature of films. As deposited films have anatase phase. Transformation from anatase t...

Thin films of clathrate material have been grown using the laser ablation technique on a variety of substrates. Films deposited on silicon substrates exhibited a significant deficiency of Ga and Ge while the stoichiometry was preserved in films deposited on quartz, sapphire, and glass substrates. Ablation characteristics of the clathrate target for laser radiation at three different wavelengths...
