EFFECT OF ZINC PHOSPHATE CHEMICAL CONVERSION COATING ON CORROSION BEHAVIOUR OF MILD STEEL IN ALKALINE MEDIUM: PROTECTION OF REBARS IN REINFORCED CONCRETE

We outline the ability of zinc phosphate coatings, obtained by chemical conversion, to protect mild steel rebars against localized corrosion, generated by chloride ions in alkaline media.The corrosion resistance of coated steel, in comparison with uncoated rebars and coated and uncoated steel rebars embedded in mortar, Sofa were evaluated by open-c

ObjectiveMultiple observational studies have demonstrated an association between type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and chronic liver diseases (CLDs).However, the causality of T2DM on CLDs remained unknown in various ethnic groups.MethodsWe obtained instrumental variables for T2DM and conducted a two-sample mendelian randomization (MR) study to examin

Sparse linear estimation of fluid flows using data-driven proper orthogonal decomposition (POD) basis is Backpack systematically explored in this work.Fluid flows are manifestations of nonlinear multiscale partial differential equations (PDE) dynamical systems with inherent scale separation that impact the system dimensionality.Given that sparse re

The journey from a single fertilised cell to a multicellular organism is, at the most fundamental level, orchestrated by mitotic cell divisions.Both the rate and the orientation of cell divisions are important in ensuring the proper development of an embryo.Simultaneous with cell proliferation, embryonic cells constantly experience a wide range of
