DOI: 10.1016/j.powtec.2019.02.006
Abstract: Abstract Fe-14Cr-0.4Ti-0.25Y2O3 ferritic steels were produced by varying the amount of residual process control agent, PCA (ethanol), in the ball-milled powders and changing the spark-plasma-sintering, SPS, temperature. Near theoretical density (99.3%), high Vickers hardness (501–920 HV,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41598-020-71798-x
Abstract: The accurate identification of biological control agents is necessary for monitoring and preventing contamination in integrated pest management (IPM); however, this is difficult for non-taxonomists to achieve in the field. Many machine learning techniques have… read more here.

DOI: 10.1080/01932691.2019.1699423
Abstract: Abstract To solve the contradiction between the injectability of the profile control agent and its profile control ability in low-permeability reservoirs, a novel in-situ polymeric microsphere profile control agent is proposed. In-situ-polymeric microsphere (ISPM) emulsion… read more here.
