INTRODUCTION
Powder metallurgy is a processing method where green parts are compacted using dies and get sintered. Sintering offers equivalent strength as a cast iron and superior design flexibility and produces Near-Net-Shaped (NNS) parts at lower costs and it reduces the need for the machining process. Now, sinter brazing is an established joining process for Powder Metal components, and it is often used in the production of automotive applications. A successfully brazed joint relies

Metal-detector performance depends heavily on the sensor head. Errors in coil placement within the head can lead to degradation in detector performance. Electromagnetic modelling of typical very-low-frequency detector heads shows the effect of coil placement errors on detector sensitivity. Provided the bucking coil ‘tracks’ the receive coil, required error corrections can remain small. A correctly-aligned head could detect a gold ring target at a range of about 12 cm.

Heavy metals, such as mercury, lead and cadmium, are widely distributed in nature; however, they have no nutritional importance. Cadmium is an extensively distributed toxicant because of its excessive use in modern lifestyles (Andrade et al., 2017). For example, this heavy metal is used in the manufacture of household appliances, batteries and paints. The improper disposal of these accessories causes contamination of the environment with cadmium (Järup, 2003). Fuel combustion by

Objectives: The aim of the present study was to assess and compare the shear bond strength (SBS) of metal pre-coated orthodontic brackets bonded to fluorotic and non-fluorotic teeth treated with three different etching techniques. A second aim was to determine the volume of adhesive remaining on the tooth at debond using micro-computed tomography (µCT). Methods: Ninety extracted premolars were selected to include 45 fluorotic (test group) and 45 non-fluorotic (control group) teeth. Each

Aims: The objective of the present study was to evaluate the effect of three different surface treatment protocols on the shear bond strength (SBS) of metal brackets to Vita Enamic® and Lava™ Ultimate CAD/CAM hybrid ceramics. Methods: A total of 60 crowns were milled and divided into one of three etching groups which used 9.6% hydrofluoric acid, 35% phosphoric acid and 50 µ aluminum oxide microetching. The surface morphology of the ceramic was observed after each etching

extra drag (Townsin 2003). As a result, it increases engine stress and fuel consumption.
Nowadays, metal-containing paints like tributyltin (TBT) and copper oxide (Cu2O) have been widely utilized in the war against biofouling due to their effectiveness (Braddy 2000). However, tin and copper are released into the seawater and do not decompose rapidly, thus causing bio-accumulation in the food chain and intoxicating many lower and higher-level animals (Iwata et al. 1995; Guardiola 2012).

history of pollution of the river basin. In aqueous environment heavy metals can be present as: free ions, hydrated ions, organic and inorganic complexes, compounds with insoluble organic and inorganic molecules (hydroxides, carbonates, sulphates, chlorides, metal ions) [13]. These forms are relatively in constant equilibrium, which may, however, be impaired by changing physicochemical conditions in a watercourse [4, 9]. This leads to a secondary pollution of the aquatic environment [8, 32].
