Several techniques containing X-ray powder diffraction, hydrogen temperature programmed reduction, scanning electron microscopy were used to characterize the composition, morphology and redox property of V-Cr-Al-O nanospheres. The catalytic behavior of prepared nanospheres on the thermal decomposition of AP was investigated by the thermogravimetric analysis and differential thermal analysis(TG/DTA). The experimental results show that the thermal decomposition temperature of AP in the presence of V-Cr-Al-O nanospheres is to 395 ℃(decreased by 35 ℃), which proves better catalyst for the thermal decomposition of AP.展开更多

The results show that the primary vanadium-containing phases with different morphologies and compositions present in Al-10V master alloys at different cooling rates with the pouring temperature of 1,170 °C. When the Al-10V master alloy is solidified in the refractory mold at a cooling rate of 2 °C·s-1, the vanadium-containing phases are mainly plate-like Al10V phases, with the average size of 100.0 μm in the center and 93.2 μm at the edge of the ingot. When the master alloy is solidified in the graphite mold at a cooling rate of 24.3 °C·s-1, the primary vanadium-containing phases are dendritic Al3V phases, with the average length of 297.0 μm for the first dendrite in the center and 275.0 μm at the edge of the ingot. The secondary dendrite arm spacing (SDAS) is 9.5 μm in the center and 9.3 μm at the edge of the ingot, respectively. When the solidification is carried out in the copper mould at a cooling rate of 45.7 °C·s-1, the primary vanadium-containing phases are also Al3V phases but with smaller size, compared with that prepared at the cooling rate of 24.3 °C·s-1. As a result, the average length is 190.0 μm for the first dendrite in the center and 150.0 μm at the edge of the ingot. The SDAS is 9.8 μm in the center and 4.4 μm at the edge of the ingot, respectively.展开更多

Although the known facts of the benefits of F & V on health, information on Saudi society following the advised recommendation whether by WHO or local are still unknown. Aim: This cross-sectional study aims to examine the perception of F & V intake among students at Umm Al-Qura University and to assess if they follow these recommendations of F & V locally and internationally. Method: Students from Umm Al-Qura University participated in this study (n = 98, age between 18 - 55). All data were collected using short online survey via Online survey—Survey Monkey in 2019. Result: 55% students were not aware of these recommendations whereas 45% were aware of WHO recommendation. The majority of students 53% have less than two portions a day of F & V. Only 14% have between two to four portions a day. 32% do not eat any portion of F & V daily. 59%, 14%, 5% of students believe that they should have five, seven, more than seven portions a day for being healthy respectively. Maintaining health, reducing the risk for chronic disease and providing essential vitamins and minerals to the body were all reasons why students believe that they should have F & V everyday by 71%. Busy lifestyle, F & V cost, lack of the awareness about the health benefits, dislike of the taste, some F & V spoiled easily were all factors affecting eating F & V daily. Conclusion: University students need educational and nutritional campaigns to spread the awareness about the health benefits of F & V. Most importantly the ministry of health should support those campaigns to increase students’ awareness and build a healthy society with a good habit.展开更多

The results show that the striking characteristics of the microstructures in as deposited and as extruded alloys indicate the presence of a large amounts of homogeneously distributed fine particles and a few coarse particles, while small amount of eutectics consisted of α (Al) and α AlFeSi are found in local zone in as deposited alloy. The fine particle is identified to be bcc α AlFeSi phase, and the coarse particles are monoclinic α Al 13 Fe 4 equilibrium phase, bcc α AlFeSi phase and newly found hexagonal h AlFeSi metastable phase. In α Al 13 Fe 4 , stacking faults on (100) and (001) plane and microtwin on (100) twinning plane are frequently observed. The extra reflection spots in α AlFeSi reflection pattern can be induced by α AlFeSi superstructure. The hexagonal metastable phase transforms to bcc phase, and the compositions of two phases are very similar. A close crystallographic orientation relationship between hexagonal and bcc phases are determined, and HREM image shows that the interface between them is coherent. [展开更多
