This study focuses on the removal of 32 selected micropollutants (pharmaceuticals, corrosion inhibitors and biocides/pesticides) found in an effluent coming from a municipal wastewater treatment plant (MWTP) based on activated sludge. Dissolved organic mat ...
Mechanical, physical and manufacturing properties of cast iron make it attractive for many fields of application, such as cranks and cylinder holds. As in design of all metals, fatigue life prediction is an intrinsic part of the design process of structura ...
The air-free reaction between FeCl2 and H4dobdc (dobdc4- = 2,5-dioxido-1,4-benzenedicarboxylate) in a mixt. of N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) and methanol affords Fe2(dobdc)·4DMF, a metal-org. framework adopting the MOF-74 (or CPO-27) structure type. The deso ...
Voids and He bubbles are strong obstacles to dislocation, which induce hardening and loss of ductility. In Fe, molecular dynamics simulation is used to investigate the basic mechanisms of the interaction between a moving edge dislocation and a void or He b ...
Soare and Curtin (Acta Mater. 2008; 56:4091-4101, 4046-4061) have recently developed a model of dynamic strain aging in solute-strengthened alloys. Their constitutive law describes time-dependent solute strengthening using rate equations that can be calibr ...
Gamma titanium aluminide (γ-TiAl) based alloys are very interesting materials for structural applications at elevated temperatures owing to the combination of high specific strength, good oxidation, creep and fatigue resistance. However, their relatively p ...
During cold forming processes materials are subjected to non-monotonic complex multiaxial loadings. To obtain complex shapes at low temperature requires the use of particularly ductile materials. The damage behaviour of two ductile steels is studied here a ...
Cells regulate iron homeostasis by posttranscriptional regulation of proteins responsible for iron uptake and storage. This requires RNA-binding activity of iron-regulatory proteins, IRP1 and IRP2. Two studies recently published in Science by Vashisht et a ...
Synergic effect of iron and copper salts as catalysts for the Sonogashira–Hagihara cross-couplings of aryl iodides with terminal alkynes is demonstrated. High yields of cross- coupled products are obtained under conditions that are smoother than those usin ...
A systematic approach to understanding the role of microstructure on the mechanical response of complex multiphase materials is presented based on the "microstructure reconstruction" method of Yeong and Torquato. Low-order statistical correlation functions ...
