Effect of sintering temperature of NBT–6BT lead-free ceramics on the structural, ferroelectric and piezoelectric properties by Slimani, Ahmed

“…It is found that the optimal ferroelectric and piezoelectric values were obtained at 1150 °C (P r = 27 µC/cm 2 , E c = 3.89 kV/mm and d 33 = 110 pC/N). According to these results, we suggest that 850 °C and 1150 °C can be considered as optimal calcination and sintering temperature in NBT-6BT ceramic, respectively.…”

Experimental study of exhaust emissions and performance of a dual fuel IDI diesel engine by Badr, O.

“…Methane and, sometime, propane were used as the gaseous fuel while regular diesel fuel was used as the pilot one. The admission of more gaseous fuel with the intake air increased the engine power, thermal efficiency, and NOx emissions while CO and UHC emissions increased up to the flame initiation limit beyond which they decreased sharply. …”

Functional characterization of human myosin-binding protein C3 variants associated with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy reveals exon-specific cardiac phenotypes in zebrafish model by Da'as, Sahar I.

“…MYBPC3 variants genotype–phenotype associations remain poorly understood. We investigated the impact of two novel human MYBPC3 splice-site variants: V1: c.654+2_654+4dupTGG targeting exon 5 using morpholino MOe5i5; and V2: c.772+1G'A targeting exon 6 using MOe6i6; located within C1 domain of cMyBP-C protein, known to be critical in regulating sarcomere structure and contractility. …”
