Aluminum based metal matrix composites (MMCs) have received considerable attention in the automotive, aerospace and nuclear industries. One of the main challenges using Al-based MMCs is the influence of the reinforcement particles on the corrosion resistance. In the present study, the corrosion behavior of Al-B₄C MMCs in a 3.5 wt.% NaCl solution were investigated using potentiodynamic polarizat...

We investigated the role of histamine H1 receptors in mediating the anorectic effect of intraperitoneally injected amylin (5 and 20 microg/kg), the amylin agonist salmon calcitonin (sCT; 10 microg/kg), leptin (1.3 mg/kg), and cholecystokinin (CCK; 20 microg/kg). The experiments were performed with mice lacking functional H1 receptors (H1Rko) and wild-type (WT) controls. The mice were also injec...

Methionine (Met) was introduced to modify the Li-Al layered double hydroxides (LDHs) film prepared on 6063 aluminum alloy by in situ method for first time. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron Scanning electron microscopy, and diffraction confirmed successful insertion of Met into LDHs revealed that introduction could make much denser. Electrochemical tests illustrated c...

Chapman et al. (B. Chapman, N. Jensen, T Ross, and M. B. Cole, Appl. Environ. Microbiol. 72:5165-5172, 2006) demonstrated that an increased NaCl concentration prolongs survival of Escherichia coli O157 SERL 2 in a broth model simulating the aqueous phase of a food dressing or sauce containing acetic acid. We examined the responses of five other E. coli strains and four Salmonella enterica strai...

27 28 Regulation of the putative amiloride and benzamil (Bz)-insensitive TRPV1t salt 29 taste receptor by phosphatidylinositol 4, 5-bisphosphate (PIP2) was investigated by 30 monitoring chorda tympani (CT) taste nerve responses to 0.1M NaCl solutions 31 containing Bz (5x10 M; a specific ENaC blocker) and resiniferatoxin (RTX; 0-10x10 32 M; a specific TRPV1 agonist) in Sprague-Dawley rats and in...

one of the problems in the case of stainless steels is their low corrosion resistance against pitting corrosionin chloride containing environments, thereby leading to severe damage to industries. in this research, the pitting corrosion of 304 austenitic stainless steel was studied in 3.5% nacl solution at room temperature (25˚c) by performing electrochemical measurements (containing cyclic pola...

in this study, mixed metal oxides al2o3/mgo/tio2 coatings with al/mg/ti ratio of 5:1:3 and 2.5:3:4 were coated on aluminum by sol-gel method. the surface morphology, phase analysis, thermal behavior and the corrosion behavior of the al2o3/mgo/tio2 coatings were characterized by (sem), (xrd), (tg-dta) and potentiodynamic polarization test in 3.5 wt.% nacl solution. the results demonstrated that ...

Bi-continuous porous metal evolves from the selective dissolution of an alloy, a process known as dealloying. Here we report similar observation in NaCl NaCl-AgCl solid solution. A procedure simultaneous quenching and that retains homogeneity solution is designed with help small-angle neutron scattering. The water creates bi-continuous AgCl smooth ligaments pores ~300 nm wide, which can coarsen...
