magnetic nanoparticles attracted a great deal of attention in the medical applications due to their unique properties. the most exceptional property of magnetic particles is their response to a magnetic force, and this property has been utilized in applications such as drug targeting, bioseparation, contrast agents in magnetic resonance imaging (mri) and heating mediators for cancer therapy. in...

modern vehicle bodies make intensive use of high strength steel grades to meet the contradicting demand of lighter weight and simultaneously better mechanical performance. for many steel grades microalloying by niobium is the key to achieve their characteristic property profile. in hsla steels niobium enhances the strength primarily by grain refinement. in interstitial free high strength steels...

the objective of this study was to develop a cost minimizing pattern for cube sugar and sugar transportation from production centers to refinement and storage centers and finally to distribution and consumption  centers in  fars province. producing centers are marvdasht (27.3%), eghlid (27.9%), fasa (11.3%), kavar (7.3%) and mamasani (20.2%). some of the province’s cube sugar and sugar is provi...

this paper concerns the transmission of two independent gaussian sources over a two-user decentralized interference channel, assuming that the transmitters are unaware of the instantaneous csis. the availability of the channel state information at receivers (csir) is considered in two scenarios of perfect and imperfect csir. in the imperfect csir case, we consider a more practical assumption of...

 Microsegregation is one of the most important phenomena occurs during solidification. It usually results in formation of some unexpected second phases which generally affect the mechanical properties and specially reduce the workability of casting products. The aim of this research is to study the effect of cooling rate and grain refinement on the microsegregation in Al-4.8 wt.% Cu. For this p...

it is well-known that severe deformation to metals causes a direct grain refinement of the matrix without special heat-treatments due to the mechanism of dynamic continuous recrystallization (dcr). however, the microstructural revolution during severe deformation is seemed to be different depending on the deformation mode, namely the direction of deformation. in general, multi-directional defor...

aisi 304l austenitic stainless steel with different grain sizes of 0.5 -12 μm was obtained through the martensiticprocess. corrosion behavior of different samples was investigated in a 0.5m hcl solution using open circuitpotential, potentiodynamic polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy tests. also, the correlationbetween the grain size and pitting corrosion resistance was asses...
