Thermal stability and the kinetics of the grain growth of nano-crystalline Mg-6Al-1Zn-1Si alloy prepared via mechanical alloying (MA) were investigated. It started with elemental powders, using a variety of analytical techniques including differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), X-ray diffraction method (XRD), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) coupled with energy dispersive spectrometry (E...

Plasma is the fourth state of matter and other states of matter are liquid, gas, and solid. Plasma occurs as a natural phenomenon in the universe in the form of fire, in the polar aurora borealis and in the nuclear fusion reactions of the sun and also can be created artificially which has gained importance in the fields of plasma screens or light sources. There are two types of plasma: thermal ...

Objective: Pili (Canarium ovatum, Engl.) pomace is an underutilized agricultural waste that possesses great potential to be regarded as a functional food ingredient. The aim of this study was to measure the polyphenol content and antioxidant activity of pili pomace drink and determine the influence of heating on these parameters. Moreover, it sought to assess the acute effects of thermally proc...

UNLABELLED Two different analytical methods were evaluated for their capacity to provide quantitative information on onion cell membrane permeability and integrity after high pressure and thermal processing and to study the impact of these processing treatments on cell compartmentalization and texture quality. To determine changes in cell membrane permeability and/or integrity the methodologies...

BACKGROUND Fanger's PMV equation is the result of the combined quantitative effects of the air temperature, mean radiant temperature, relative air velocity, humidity, activity level and clothing insulation. METHODS This paper contains a comparison of suit dresses and summer clothes in terms of thermal comfort, Fanger's PMV equation. Studies were processed in the winter for an office, which lo...

Abstract Instabilities and fluctuations of the plasma jet in a thermal spray process can have significant influence on particle in-flight temperatures velocities, affecting properties resulting plasma-sprayed coatings. Presented this paper is novel method for capturing effects particles are exposed to spraying process. High-speed camera images generated by cascaded three-cathode generator (Trip...
