DECORATIVE COMPOSITE LAYERS

Decorative Composite Layers

Part of the materials used in the chemical industry, metallurgical, machine construction, can be coated, as with time it occurs either a decrease of its properties, or even a process of advanced faulting, because of the stresses suffered.The paper presents the structure of some composite coatings with the nickel matrix also pointing out their decor

Non-Structural Carbohydrate Content and C:N:P Stoichiometry in Houpoea officinalis Flowers in Response to Development Stages

Mineral elements and non-structural carbohydrates (NSCs) are important nutrients and energy sources for flower development in plants.However, no studies were reported on the dynamic changes of nutrient stoichiometry and NSC contents in Houpoea officinalis (H.officinalis) flower.In this study, the changes in carbon (C), nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P),

Factors influencing the determination of cell traction forces.

Methods summarized by the term Traction Force Microscopy are widely used to quantify cellular forces in mechanobiological studies.These methods are inverse, in the sense that forces must be determined such that they comply with a measured displacement field.This study investigates how several experimental and analytical factors, originating in the

Biomarker evidence for distal tubular damage but cortical sparing in hospitalized diabetic patients with acute kidney injury (AKI) while on SGLT2 inhibitors

Background Inhibitors of sodium-glucose co-transporter-2 (SGLT2i) were found to improve renal outcome in diabetic patients in large prospective randomized trials.Yet, SGLT2i may acutely reduce kidney function through volume depletion, altered glomerular hemodynamics or intensified medullary hypoxia leading to acute tubular injury (ATI).The aim or t
