PROGRESS IN ALUMINUM-BASED COMPOSITES PREPARED BY STIR CASTING: MECHANICAL AND TRIBOLOGICAL PROPERTIES FOR AUTOMOTIVE, AEROSPACE, AND MILITARY APPLICATIONS

Manufacturing sectors, including automotive, aerospace, military, and aviation, are paying close attention to the increasing need for composite materials with better characteristics.Composite materials are significantly used in industry owing to their high-quality, low-cost materials with outstanding characteristics and low weight.Hence, aluminum-b

Considering modern weaponization of media and extensive experience of Russia in employing Books the propaganda machine, further attacks and trespasses against the freedom of expression and freedom of religion in order to suppress dissent in the occupied territory are to be expected.In accordance with the reports of international organizations and n

Beneficial effects of silicon (Si) on plants have primarily been studied in crop species under single stress.Moreover, nutrient acquisition-based responses to combination of biotic and abiotic stresses (a common situation in natural habitats) have rarely been reported, in particular in conjunction with soil amendments with Si.Pedunculate oak (Querc

Florabank1 is a database that contains distributional data on the wild flora (indigenous species, archeophytes and naturalised aliens) of Flanders and the Brussels Capital Region.It holds about 3 million records of vascular plants, dating from 1800 till present.Furthermore, it includes ecological data on vascular plant species, redlist category inf

Aiming at noise, low image grey and Books little gray difference of dynamic monitoring image of coal mine, a dynamic image enhancement method was proposed.Original image is processed by an improved histogram equalization method firstly and then dealt with illumination estimatation.The illumination image is normalized, while reflected light image is
