The present study was designed to evaluate different doses of ellagic acid (EA) in vivo in rats for its potential to modulate hepatic phases I, II, and antioxidant enzymes. EA (10 or 30 mg/kg/day, intragastrically) was ...

This study presents a low-cost and environmentally friendly medium for the pack boriding (boronizing) of a Ti6Al4V alloy. Titanium and its alloys are known to be highly reactive and to have extreme oxygen affinity. Therefore, ...

Polyetheretherketone (PEEK) is a biocompatible polymer with good mechanical strength, thermal and chemical stability and is suitable for magnetic resonance and X-ray imaging. Moreover, density and elasticity of PEEK is ...

In this study, the impact behaviours of glass/epoxy and hybrid (glass-carbon/epoxy) composite plates have been investigated experimentally. The increasing impact energy was performed on composite plates until complete ...

Plants have developed mechanisms to defend themselves against many factors including biotic stress such as herbivores and pathogens. Glutathione S-transferase (GST) is a glutathione-dependent detoxifying enzyme and plays ...

Energy is one of the most fundamental event of the universe and it is impossible to imagine an area where energy is not used. The energy demand is also increasing with the ever-increasing population of the world. We also ...

This study is designed to determine Salmonella prevalence in organic poultry farms and slaughterhouse in three different regions with distinct seasonal characteristics. Salmonella strains were isolated from organic reared ...

In this study, soybean biodiesel fuel was blended in 20 vol.% with diesel fuel and tested in a single-cylinder, DI, four-stroke diesel engine under four different engine loads (15, 11.25, 7.5 and 3.75 Nm) and 2200 rpm ...

In this study, a mixture of biodiesel fuels produced from two different kinds of waste cooking oils was blended in 5% and 10% with No. 2 diesel fuel. The biodiesel/No. 2 diesel fuel blends were tested in a single-cylinder, ...

Reinforcement kind and ratios have significant effects on the metal matrix composite (MMC) materials. In this study, two different (B4C and SiC) reinforcement compounds between 5 and 15 wt% reinforcement ratios were used ...
