We have successfully deposited Fe4N thin films with (111) out-of-plane orientation on thermally oxidized Si substrates using a facing-target-sputtering system.A Ta/Ru composite buffer layer was adopted to improve the girls sweatpants (111) orientation of the Fe4N thin films.The N2 partial pressure and substrate temperature during sputtering were op
Risk and Asset Integrated Management with Risk-Based Inspection Technique in Oil, Gas, and Petrochemical Industries
Abstract Introduction: To prevent accidents and minimize the risk of unexpected disasters in the oil, gas, and petrochemical industries, an inspection of equipment in terms of mechanical integrity and safe and consistent service providing are of utmost importance.The purpose of this study is integrated risk and asset management by implementing risk
ANN modelling approach for predicting SCC properties - Research considering Algerian experience .Part II. Effects of aggregates types and contents
The objective of this investigation is to illustrate the effect of aggregates types and contents on fresh and hardened properties of self-compacting concrete (SCC) considering Algerian experience.Based on experimental data available in the literature, Artificial neural network (ANN) models are established to illustrate the variation of aggregate ty
A local experience of ultrasonography in the diagnosis and treatment of tropical pyomyositis
Background: Tropical pyomyositis is endemic in this environment yet a good number of patients with this condition are not detected on time.[1],[5],[19] Clinical diagnostic criteria are often misleading and recourse to imaging techniques would appear mandatory if morbidity and mortality must be controlled.Aim: To identify the clinical and sonographi
Bone Regeneration in Vertical Osseous Defect in Periodontitis Patients using Bovine Colostrum
Background.The treatment plan for periodontitis may include both nonsurgical and surgical phases.During surgical procedures, bone grafts and barrier membranes were used after degranulation in order to achieve healing.Colostrum is one of the materials that is composed of bioactive components which has either osteoinductive or regenerative potential.
