The present study investigates the effect of stress triaxiality on mechanical behavior and fracture of Ti-5Al-2.5Sn alloy in a practical relevant strain rate range from 0.1 to 1000 s−1.Tensile tests were carried out on flat smoothed and notched specimens using an Instron VHS 40/50-20 servo-hydraulic test machine.High-speed video registration
Recycling of Waste Paper to Convert into Environmental Friendly Mosquito Repellent Sticks Using Natural Azadirachtin
The term waste is for undesirable or pointless resources produced by human activity in residential, industrial, or commercial environments.It can be divided into three categories.Depending on its: source (household, industrial, commercial, building, or institutional); and composition (organic material, infinitytools.com glass, metal, plastic, paper
Enrichment of endothelial cell arachidonate by lipid transfer from high density lipoproteins: relationship to prostaglandin I2 synthesis.
We have previously shown that plasma high density lipoproteins (HDL) stimulate release of prostacyclin, measured as its stable metabolite, 6-keto-PGF1 alpha, by cultured porcine aortic endothelial cells.The present experiments were designed to elucidate the contribution of HDL lipids to endothelial cellular phospholipid pools and to prostacyclin sy
Liquefaction Assessment Using the CPT and Accounting for Soil Ageing
Due to its continuous data recording capability, excellent repeatability and accuracy, relatively low cost and simplicity of operation, the cone penetration test (CPT) offers enhanced liquefaction assessment over its predecessor the standard penetration test (SPT).However, soil ageing, which influences the cyclic resistance ratio (CRR), is difficul
