In this study, the effect of surface morphologies on the isothermal oxidation behavior of MCrAlY coatings fabricated by high-velocity oxyfuel (HVOF) processes was investigated. To do so, free standing coatings with as-sprayed and polished surfaces were isothermally oxidized at 1050°C. The thickness of the bond coat was approximately 380μm. The Ra of the as-sprayed and polished surfaces were 6.4...

PURPOSE To evaluate the acute hepatotoxicity of Equisentum arvense L. in rats. METHODS Fifty Wistar rats were used, these being divided in four groups, one being the control (receiving only water) and the other groups receiving graded doses of Equisentum arvense L. (30, 50, and 100mg/kg respectively) for 14 days. Blood samples were obtained to determine TGO, TGP, FA, DHL and GT-gamma activiti...

Recently, Nadir and Occultation for Mars Discovery (NOMAD) ultraviolet visible spectrometer instrument on board the European Space Agency's ExoMars Trace Gas Orbiter (TGO) simultaneously measured limb emission intensities both [OI] 2972 5577 {\AA} (green) emissions in dayside of Martian upper atmosphere. We aim to explore photochemistry all these forbidden atomic oxygen ([OI] 2972, 5577, 6300, ...

CaSSIS is a high-resolution visual telescope onboard the ExoMars Trace Gas Orbiter. The mission started primary science phase in April 2018. relatively small single image footprint (typically 40 ​km ​× ​9.5 ​km) when compared to total surface area of Mars demands that images should be targeted and target selection key for return. This paper describes planning concept set around selection, proce...

Leishmania (Leishmania) infantum is the main etiologic agent of visceral leishmaniasis in American continent. We report a rare case of cutaneous leishmaniasis caused by viscerotropic specie in a patient with ankylosing spondylitis on treatment with adalimumabe and methotrexate. The patient presented no signs of visceral involvement. PCRRFLP and genetic sequencing demonstrated Leishmania (Leishm...

There are many geometric calibration methods for ‘‘standard” cameras. These methods, however, cannot be used for the calibration of telescopes with large focal lengths and complex off-axis optics. Moreover, specialized calibration methods for the telescopes are scarce in literature. We describe the calibration method that we developed for the Colour and Stereo Surface Imaging System (CaSSIS) te...

We consider a model of viscosity η of volcanic lavas. The equation, describes with high accuracy the existing experimental data on temperature and pressure dependence of viscosity of igneous materials. It is demonstrated that, the activation energy E(Tg) can be expressed through the glass transition temperature Tgo. The dependencies of the parameters of the viscosity equation are discussed for ...
