B4C–Al2O3 composite powder was produced by aluminothermic reduction in Al/B2O3/C system. In this research, microwave heating technique was used to synthesize desired composite. The ball milling of powder mixtures was performed in order to study the effect of mechanical activation on the synthesis process. The synthesis mechanism in this system was investigated by examining the correspondi...

in this study, the recycling possibility of residual oil fly ash (rofa) towards preparing activated carbon and its application in environmental remediation through adsorbing cu (ii) and pb (ii) ions from aqueous solutions were investigated. activated carbons were prepared using two different physical activation methods such as under steam flow at 950 0c, and combined steam and co2 flow at 850 0...

the synthesis of nanocrystalline fe3al powder by mechanical alloying as well as the structural ordering of the synthesized fe3al particles during the subsequent thermal analysis were investigated. mechanical alloying was performed up to 100 hours using a planetary ball mill apparatus with rotational speed of 300 rpm under argon atmosphere at ambient temperature. the synthesized powders were cha...

introduction: the ability to accurately measure forces produced by orthodontic appliances during orthodontic treatment is desirable. the aim of the present study was to compare forces measured by mechanical formulae designed with a software program and those experimentally measured by a dynamometer to find a scientific way to determine the exact amount of activation needed for applying a force ...

Wyman, Bradley T., William C. Hunter, Frits W. Prinzen, and Elliot R. McVeigh. Mapping propagation of mechanical activation in the paced heart with MRI tagging. Am. J. Physiol. 276 (Heart Circ. Physiol. 45): H881–H891, 1999.— The temporal evolution of three-dimensional (3-D) strain maps derived from magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) tagging were used to noninvasively evaluate mechanical activati...

gamma aminobutyrate (gaba) is a non-protein amino acid that is thought to play an important role in the modulation of the central response to stress. mechanisms by which gaba may facilitate these responses to stress are metabolic and/or mechanical disruptions. environmental stresses increase gaba accumulation through cytosolic acidification, induce an acidic ph-dependent activation of glutamate...

in this research, kinetics of carbothermic reduction of molybdenite in the presence of different amounts of sodium carbonate has been studied. mixed powders consisting of molybdenite, graphite and sodium carbonate with three mole-ratios of 1:4:2,1:4:3 and 1:4:4 were mechanically activated for 40 hours. the results of x-ray diffraction on activated samples showed that no reaction occurrs in diff...
