Tuning of Magnetocaloric Potential in Disordered Ni-Mn-Sn Alloy
Abstract The Ni50Mn36.5Sn13.5 alloy was prepared and annealed for four different times (6, 12, 18 and 24hrs) at 1173K. The width of the martensitic transition (MT) was found to decrease with the increase of annealing time. The 24hrs annealed sample...

A simplified approach to directly consider intact rock anisotropy in Hoek–Brown failure criterion
Abstract Many rock types have naturally occurring inherent anisotropic planes, such as bedding planes, foliation, or flow structures. Such characteristic induces directional features and anisotropy in rocks' strength and deformational properties....

Resumption of Alteration at High Temperature and pH: Rates Measurements and Comparison with Initial Rates
Abstract Resumption of alteration – corresponding to a sharp increase of glass aqueous corrosion rate – is observed under specific experimental conditions of high pH and temperature. This phenomenon may occur with long duration time, making very...

Localization of calmodulin and calmodulin-like protein and their functions in biomineralization in P. fucata
Abstract Calmodulin (CaM) and calmodulin-like protein (CaLP) are two proteins involved in biomineralization. Their localizations in Pinctada fucata mantle epithelia were studied by Western blot (WB) analysis of the nuclear/cytosol fraction of...
