The implementation of image analysis for the visualization of adhesion assessment of a composite film
(Elsevier Science Bv, Amsterdam, 2018)
The objective of this study is to investigate quantitative assessment of the adhesion behavior of composite films onto a metallic surface. The composite films had UV cured Bis-GMA (Bisphenol A glycidylmethacrylate)/TEGDMA ...
Functionality of embryo sacs in pear cultivars ‘ingeborg’ and ‘celina’ as related to fruit set under nordic climate
(MDPI, Basel, 2020)
Since the European pear (Pyrus communis L.) is a self-incompatible fruit species, synchrony and compatibility between female parts of the mother plant and male gametes from the pollen donor must be fulfilled. Besides ...
Influence of different concentrations of Zn-carbonate phase on physical-chemical properties of antimicrobial agar composite films
(Elsevier, Amsterdam, 2019)
Agar-based composites with different Zn-carbonate mineral phase content were prepared by in situ mineralization and the solvent casting method. The mineral phase within the composite films was identified as hydrozincite, ...
Success Rate of Individual Pollinizers for the Pear Cultivars "Ingeborg" and "Celina" in a Nordic Climate
(MDPI, Basel, 2020)
Norwegian pear production is low due to climatic limitations, a lack of well-adapted cultivars and suitable pollinizers. However, nowadays it is increasing as a result of newly introduced and bred pear cultivars. Since ...
Numerical simulation of fatigue crack propagation: A case study of defected steam pipeline
(Elsevier Ltd, 2019)
In order to prevent the premature failure of steam pipeline produced of molybdenum-vanadium steel, the experimental tests were performed to measure fracture toughness and to determine the mechanical behaviour of cracked ...
Novel nano-composite hydrogels with honey effective against multi-resistant clinical strains of Acinetobacter baumannii and Pseudomonas aeruginosa
(Springer, New York, 2019)
Novel alginate hydrogels with silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) and honey components were produced with the aim to target multidrug-resistant bacterial strains causing nosocomial wound infections. AgNP synthesis was optimized ...
Comparative study of CeO2 nanopowders obtained by the hydrothermal method from various precursors
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2015)
The effects of common precursors used in the synthesis of CeO2 nanopowders were investigated, and the structural and spectral properties of the resulting products were compared. Two cerium (III) salts, i.e., Ce(NO3)(3)center ...
Graphene-based antibacterial composite coatings electrodeposited on titanium for biomedical applications
(Elsevier Science Sa, Lausanne, 2015)
The graphene based silver/hydroxyapatite/graphene (Ag/HAP/Gr) composite coatings were produced by electrophoretic deposition (EPD) on titanium to assemble porous bioactive homogenous coatings, with improved corrosion ...
Modelling current efficiency in an electrochemical hypochlorite reactor
(Elsevier, Amsterdam, 2015)
A mathematical model was set up for anodic, cathodic and overall current efficiencies of an electrochemical cell for hypochlorite production acting as an ideal stirred reactor. A 0.06-0.20 mol dm(-3) NaClO hypochlorite ...
The removal of Zn2+, Pb2+, and As(V) ions by lime activated fly ash and valorization of the exhausted adsorbent
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, Oxford, 2018)
This study focuses on the use of raw fly ash (FA) and modified fly ash - activated by lime (MFA), as effective and low-cost adsorbents for the removal of heavy metals (Zn2+, Pb2+ and As(V)), followed by the revalorization ...
