Corrosion behavior of API X100 steel material in a hydrogen sulfide environment by Okonkwo, Paul C.

“…It was further observed that, when the stress limit of a crystalline layer is exceeded, micro-cracking of the formed protective sulfide layer (mackinawite) occurs on the API X100 steel surface, which may affect the reliability of the pipeline system.…”

Usefulness of In-Situ Synchrotron Study on Scale Formation during CO2 Corrosion of Mild Steel: A Review by Sk, Mobbassar Hassan

“…500 mV (vs SCE), together with the intensities of the Fe and FeCO3 signals from the in-situ synchrotron XRD [1]. There is a clear peak in the current transient, with the XRD results showing FeCO3 formation during the increasing portion of this transient and then a rapidly decreasing rate of FeCO3 formation as the anodic current decreases towards the end of the test, indicating the growth of a protective surface scale. …”

Opportunities, challenges and trade-offs with decreasing avoidable food waste in the UK by Patel, Shivalee

“…Stakeholder interrelations, regulatory and socio-economic aspects are discussed in relation to their influence on decreasing avoidable food waste. The main output from this work is a diagrammatic depiction of where challenges and trade-offs occur along the food supply chain, and how policy and socio-economic reforms are needed to maximise avoidable food waste prevention, and the surplus avoidable food redistribution in the food supply chain for social benefit.…”

Biocorrosion behavior of biodegradable nanocomposite fibers coated layer-by-layer on AM50 magnesium implant by Abdal-hay, Abdalla

“…The results showed that the AJS 3D membrane fiber layers, particularly the hybrid membrane layers containing a small amount of nHA (3wt.%), induce a higher biocorrosion resistance and effectively decrease the initial degradation rate compared with the neat AM50 coupon samples. …”

A dynamic MOPSO algorithm for multiobjective optimal design of hybrid renewable energy systems by Sharafi, Masoud

“…Additionally, the set coverage metric value shows that at least 67% of Pareto solutions obtained by DMOPSO dominate the solutions resulted by other reported algorithms. By using a sensitivity analysis for the case study, it is found that if the PV panel and wind turbine capital cost are decreased by 50%, the total NPC of the system would be decreased by 18.8 and 3.7%, respectively.…”
