Austenite memory and subsequent spontaneous recrystallization during austenitization is stated for some types of soft martensitic stainless steels such as X4CrNiMo16-5-1 or 13Cr5Ni but have not been proposed for the commercial alloy PH15-5 until now. However, the understanding of the austenitiza...

To obtain a better strength-toughness balance of martensite-austenite dual phase deposited metals, an austenite reversed treatment (ART) with short holding time (namely S-ART), combining with the advantage of quenching & partitioning (Q&P) is proposed. The dual phase deposited metal is heated to...

Antisera against rat erythrocytes contain agglutinins directed against unknown lipid determinants. Complement-fixation shows more reactivity with lipid extracts of rat spleen than of other rat tissues. The isolation of the reactive lipid from rat spleen, cytolipin S, is described. Cytolipin S is...

Blue nano-pigments of Co1-xCaxAl2O4 (x = 0.1, 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, and 0.8) were synthesized by the polyacrylamide gel method. The obtained powders were characterized by XRD, SEM, colorimetry and UV-vis. The XRD patterns indicated the characteristic peaks were attributed to the CoAl2O4 and CaAl2O4 pha...

A spherical blue CoAl2O4 pigment powder commonly used for coloring ceramic products has successfully been synthesized by co-precipitation of Co2+ and Al3+ ions in Pickering emulsion assisted with a hydrothermal process, and the formation mechanism of the as-prepared powder has briefly been discu...

This work evaluates the chemical stability of the composition YIn0.95Mn0.05O3, through exposure of the material to different acidic, basic and neutral media and the incorporation into an aqueous base of white paint. A high structural stability is evidenced for the different used media except for...

CoAl2O4/kaolin hybrid pigments with high blue value were prepared via microwave hydrothermal assisted technique. The obtained hybrid pigments incorporated 60 wt% kaolin presented excellent color properties (L⁎ = 34.44, a⁎ = 16.73, b⁎ = −70.49) after being calcined at 900 °C, which was matched w...

CoAl2O4 nanoparticles as a high NIR solar reflectance inorganic pigment was successfully prepared by combustion synthesis using glycine, malonic acid dihydrazide as a simple fuel and mixture of them with different molar ratio, following by annealing in temperature range of 400–1000 °C. As-prep...

Synthetic organic pigments have been used in works of art for well over 130 years. During this time, many have been introduced and some have been removed from production. Historical pigments are synthetic organic pigments that are no longer commercially produced. Because of their limited range o...

A latent pigment which was a derivative of C.I. Pigment Yellow 151 was prepared. The conversion from latent pigment to parent pigment was studied and proved by UV and IR spectrum. Its application in PVC coloring was also involved.

The X-ray crystal structure of C.I. Pigment Yellow 12, 2,2′-[(3,3′-dichloro[1,1′-biphenyl]-4,4′-diyl)bis(azo)bis[3-oxo-N-phenylbutanamide], is described. This is the first reported single crystal determination for a disazoacetoacetanilide (Diarylide Yellow) pigment. The molecules exist in th...

BackgroundEnergy-sealing devices may be useful to divide small pulmonary arteries (PAs) during video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) lobectomy. We evaluated the safety of PA branch sealing with an ultrasonic energy vessel-sealing device during VATS lobectomy.

Hexamethylenediammonium glutarate was synthesized by glutaric acid recovered from mixed dibasic acid and 1, 6- hexanediamine in aqueous solution and characterized by fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and nuclear magnetic resonance. Its thermal properties were evaluated via differential sca...

Ketoprofen, a non-steroid anti-inflammatory drug, is widely used for relieving the pain and swelling caused by rheumatoid arthritis. However, ketoprofen can’t suppress disease progression effectively. In this study, in an effort to improve the therapeutic effect for rheumatoid arthritis (RA), m...

In the present study, we have prepared microRNA(miR)-124-loaded Rabies virus glycoprotein (RVG)29 surface-conjugated polymeric nanoparticles (NPs) to improve neuroinflammation in Parkinson’s disease (PD). We hypothesize that an increase in the intracellular concentration of miR-124 will result ...

As a result of terrestrial input and local circulation, an area containing continuously deposited mud with abundant organic matter (OM) has formed in the Yellow Sea (YS) off the Shandong Peninsula, China, during the Holocene. The understanding of temporal variations in sedimentary organic matter...
