Pseudo-Core-Shell Permalloy (Supermalloy)@ZnFeO Powders and Spark Plasma Sintered Compacts Based on Mechanically Alloyed Powders.

Soft magnetic composite cores were produced by spark plasma sintering (SPS) from NiFe@ZnFeO and NiFeMo@ZnFeO pseudo-core-shell powders. In the Fe-Ni alloys@ZnFeO pseudo-core-shell composite powders, the core is a large nanocrystalline Permalloy or Supermalloy particle obtained by mechanical alloying, and the shell is a pseudo continuous layer of Zn ferrite particles. The pseudo-core-shell powders have been compacted by SPS at temperatures between 500-700 °C, with a holding time of 0 min.

The Influence of Using Recycled Waste Aggregates and Adding TiO Nanoparticles on the Corrosion Resistance of Steel Reinforcement Embedded in Cementitious Composite.

The aim of this paper was to examine the effects of adding TiO nanoparticles to cementitious compositions and partially substituting natural aggregates with recycled aggregates consisting of glass, brick, slag, or textolite, and to examine the material's ability to resist corrosion under the action of chloride ions existent in the environment that attack the steel reinforcement. The results show that the changes in the cementitious composite when it comes to the composition and microstructure influence the formation of the oxide passivating layer of the reinforcement. The addition of TiO nanoparticles and recycled aggregates impacts the kinetics and corrosion mechanism of the reinforcement.

Therefore, patients with AMD can benefit by being properly informed about their disease, regardless of the condition's stage.

Assessing microbiological and heavy metal pollution in surface waters associated with potential human health risk assessment at fish ingestion exposure.

Fish represent a significant source of nutrients but also cause negative health effects due to their bioaccumulation capacity for pollutants. The aim of this study was to examine the transfer of metals from the water of several rivers (Somes, Tisa, Sasar, Lapus, Lăpusel) to fish (Caras sp) tissue (subcutaneous fat, muscles, liver, intestines, kidneys, gills, brain, and eyes) and to identify and assess the carcinogenic and non-carcinogenic health risks of Arsenic (As), Cadmium (Cd), Nickel (Ni), Manganese (Mn), Cooper (Cu), Lead (Pb), Chromium (Cr) and Zinc (Zn) through the ingestion of fish (muscles and subcutaneous fat tissues). The obtained results indicated that a diet consisting of fish is particularly vulnerable, particularly in children compared to adults.

Influence of Long Milling Time on the Electrical Resistivity of Nanocrystalline NiMnSn Heusler Alloy Obtained by Mechanosynthesis.
