To improve the high-temperature oxidization resistance, the Si-Ti-Cr silicide coatings were fabricated on Nb-Hf (NbHf 10-1) alloy by slurry sintering and high-temperature permeation. The high temperature thermal shock performance of Si-Ti-Cr silicide coated Nb-Hf alloy samples in atmosphere and...

This article examines the emphasis on sustainable education in the context of education among education field academicians in a Malaysian private university. There are a few significances for this study. First, it posits the issue and why sustainable education should be included in university...

The increasing demand for high energy density fuels and the concern for their safety have propelled research in the field of gelled propellants, where understanding the combustion of single gelled fuel droplets is the first stage to predict the spray combustion characteristics. The experiments...

In the process of industrialization of tomato industry in Xinjiang, the cooperative models of rural households and tomato processing enterprises are order type, mediated type and workshop type. The contents, closeness degree and stability of cooperation of them are different. Under different...

The cooperation models appeared in the process of tomato industrialization in Xinjiang include orders, intermediary agencies and work-shops. The cooperation content, the closeness and the cooperation stability of these models are different from each other. From the local to the Corps in...

This paper re-examines gold's role as a tool for investors to manage their portfolio risk. We begin by assessing gold's average relationship to an investor's diversified equity portfolio by applying the basic Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) to UK and US equity indices. Next, we apply a...

Hybrid machine tools are suitable for machining structural components with complex geometries due to their merits of flexible posture adjustment and quick dynamic response. This paper proposes a novel hybrid machine tool with 5-axis machining capability by integrating a newly invented...

Half doped LaFe0.5M0.5O3(M=Mn, Co, Ni, Cu) perovskite was employed as oxygen carriers/gasification agents in the gasification of torrefied biomass (TB) coupled with CO2 splitting, The effect of torrefaction temperature on the syngas yield and CO formation rate as well as the M doping half doped...

A facile and universal route has been developed to synthesize metal oxides-based yolk-shelled structures with controllable void size. Based on this approach, a yolk-shelled SnO 2 @N dopped C (yolk-shelled SnO 2 @NxC) composite has been successfully synthesized for lithium-ion battery electrodes....

Hygroelectricity - an interaction between moisture and hydrophilic materials results electricity generation. The whole-cell films are advantageous for sustainable hygroelectric generator (HEG) application because of readily availability, abundance and environmental compatibility, but it is not...
