Biodegradation of plastic materials obtained from solid waste dumpsites in Nigeria, using native bacterial strains by Beatrice O. Ojiego, Obianuju P. Ilo, Fatima Dantanko, Shauibu A. Abdullahi, Ibrahim M. K. Gadzama, Paul Bolorunduro, Elijah Ella, Gideon I Ogu

“…The bacterial isolates were inoculated into a series of shake flasks containing nutrient broth and pre-sterilized strips (1×1 cm) of plastic bags (0.05-0.0514 g) and plastic bottles (0.05-0.0529 g), and then incubated at 30 oC for 60 d to monitor their biodegradation using the weight loss method. The strips of bottles (0.58-49.00 %) were more susceptible to biodegradation than the plastic bags (0.78-15.40 %) after 60 d of incubation. …”

The Effects of Mineral Supplementation in Rapeseed Cake Diet on Thyroid Function and Meat Quality in Broiler Chickens by Tamás Tóth, Rita Éva Horváth, Ottó Dóka, Mihály Kovács, Hedvig Fébel

“…The relative ratio of n-6 and n-3 fatty acids narrowed in both R and R+ meat samples compared to C (<i>p</i> < 0.05). R+ may have a more favorable effect on oxidation processes according to the better MDA values in fresh meat (<i>p</i> < 0.001) and samples after 1–2 months of storage (<i>p</i> < 0.05) than R when compared with C. …”

Deformation behavior and microstructure evolution of one novel superalloy with high rare earth gadolinium content: Multi-scale modeling and experimental study by Xin Fu, Qing-Chun Zhu, Wen-Bin Chen, Li Jiang, Fang Liu, Zhi-Jun Li

“…The recrystallization fraction decreases with strain rates from 0.01 to 1 s−1 but increases from 1 to 10 s−1, which is because meta-dynamic recrystallization occurs faster when the strain rate is greater than 1 s−1 and Ni5Gd particles promote the process indirectly by introducing more severely deformed matrix. Furthermore, the finite element modeling shows that plastic strain and temperature rise at the central region of samples increase with strain rate increasing, which can explain the unusual fragmentation of Ni5Gd at 1200 °C with the highest strain rate. …”
