SELECTED ASPECTS OF MANUFACTURING OF ALUMINIUM SPONGE

Selected Aspects of Manufacturing of Aluminium Sponge

The present article describes selected aspects of investment casting technology for manufacturing of open-cell aluminium.The main focus is, among others, on the precursor thickening.Two groups of total 30 samples were produced, basing on open-cell polyurethane foam used as the precursor.Each of the two sample groups was thickened with a different 6

Differential predation by age and sex classes in blue wildebeest in Serengeti: study of a modern carnivore den in Olduvai Gorge (Tanzania).

Age and sex selection of prey is an aspect of predator ecology which has been extensively studied in both temperate and African ecosystems.This dimension, along with fecundity, Flower Shadow Box survival rates of prey and mortality factors other than predation are important in laying down the population dynamics of prey and have important implicati

Improving Nursing Care in Long-Term Care Facilities for Older Adults by Addressing the Social Diversity of the Nursing Staff

Nursing education and administration at long-term care (LTC) facilities do not pay sufficient attention to the socioeconomic and cultural diversity of the nursing staff.This commentary raises specific issues, such as lack of representation of marginalized staff members in nursing leadership and training that require immediate attention.Ignoring the

2-Hydroxymethyl-1,3-dimethyl-1H-benzimidazol-3-ium iodide

In the cation of the title compound, C10H13N2O+·I−, all non-H atoms, with the exception of the O atom, are essentially coplanar, with a maximum deviation of 0.04 (1) Å.In the crystal, the cations and anions are arranged in layers parallel to (100).The cations are connected Socks to the anions via an O—H.I Quilts hy

Coercivity enhancement of hot-deformed NdFeB magnets by in situ two-end-diffusion with R70Cu30 alloy powders (R = NdPr and Ce)

We hereby present a simple process, called in situ two-end diffusion (TED), to reach coercivity enhancement with almost unchanged energy product for hot deformed (HD) NdFeB magnets.Coercivity of the HD magnets is increased from 15.1 to 18.7 kOe for the magnet TED with (Nd0.75Pr0.25)70Cu30 (NdPrCu), which is larger than 17.6 kOe for the magnet direc
