AA5052-PVC-AA5052 (Al-PVC-Al) Sandwich Sheets Forming Analysis through In-Plane Plane Stretching Tests
ScientificWorldJournal. 2024 Mar 8;2024:5117746. doi: 10.1155/2024/5117746. eCollection 2024.ABSTRACTSheet metal forming is one of the key processes for the automotive sector to be considered. Sheet metal formability is being tested as received, joining them with different welding/joining processes (i.e., tailored blanks) and making them as sandwich forms to reduce the total weight of the body. These sandwich formations of sheets are an advanced method by incorporating PVC/polymer sheets in between metal sheets with a suitable binder. The present work has investigated the formability of AA5052-PVC-AA5052 (Al-PVC-Al) sandwi...

Application of Hierarchical/Multilevel Models and Quality of Reporting (2010-2020): A Systematic Review
CONCLUSION: There is an increase in the utilization of multilevel modelling in the last decade, which could be attributed to the presence of clustered and hierarchically correlated data structures. There is a need for improvement in the area of measurement and reporting on the intraclass correlation, parameter estimation, and variable selection measures to further improve the quality of the application of multilevel models. The integration of spatial effects into multilevel models is very limited and needs to be explored in the future.PMID:38495479 | PMC:PMC10942821 | DOI:10.1155/2024/4658333 (Source: The Scientific World Journal)

Leaf Extracts of < em > Moringa oleifera < /em > Cultivated in Baghdad: Characterization and Antimicrobial Potential against Endodontic Pathogens
Conclusion. Ethanolic and aqueous extracts of Moringa oleifera leaves cultivated in Baghdad contain considerable quantities of phytochemicals, especially flavonoid and phenolic compounds, and demonstrated antimicrobial activities against selected endodontic pathogens. Therefore, Moringa leaf extracts could be suggested as an alternative antimicrobial material in endodontic treatment.PMID:38450244 | PMC:PMC10917486 | DOI:10.1155/2024/6658164 (Source: The Scientific World Journal)

MnOx- < em > Coffea arabica < /em > Husk and < em > Catha edulis < /em > Leftover Biochar Nanocomposites for Removal of Methylene Blue from Wastewater
In this study, we investigated the use of manganese oxide-biochar nanocomposites (MnOx-BNC), synthesized from coffee husk (CH) and khat leftover (KL) for the removal of methylene blue (MB) from wastewater. Pristine biochars of each biomass (CH and KL) as well as their corresponding biochar-based nanocomposites were synthesized by pyrolyzing at 300°C for 1 h. The biochar-based nanocomposites were synthesized by pretreating 25 g of each biomass with 12.5 mmol of KMnO4. To assess the MB removal efficiency, we conducted preliminary tests using 0.2 g of each adsorbent, 20 mL of 20 mg·L-1 MB, pH 7.5, and shaking the mixture at...

Sole and Combined Application of Biodigestate, N, P, and K Fertilizers: Impacts on Soil Chemical Properties and Maize Performance
ScientificWorldJournal. 2024 Feb 20;2024:6685906. doi: 10.1155/2024/6685906. eCollection 2024.ABSTRACTThe fertilizing effects of biodigestate produced from biogas plants on crop and soil productivity are very scarce. Hence, a field study was conducted in 2022 at the Teaching and Research Farm of Bowen University, Iwo, Osun State, Nigeria. The study evaluated the effects of biodigestate fertilizer, applied alone or in combination with urea, single superphosphate, or muriate of potash fertilizers at low (N1, K1, and P1) and high (N2, P2, and K2) rates on soil chemical properties, growth, and yield of maize (Zea mays (L.)). T...
