The behavior of the microstructures of the samples with time and temperature was investigated as a function of specimen composition.
The mosquitoes used in this study were collected as described by Riehle et al. (2011), with full details on the origin of mosquito specimen, sample composition, and genotyping methodologies given in that publication.
The professional responsibility to assure that the specimen's molecular composition and integrity are safeguarded is shared by both the surgeon and the pathologist.
Several compression tests have been executed on specimens of various composition and different dimensions, with the purpose of understanding the role of volume fractions of earth, sand and straw fibre, and the influence of the size effect.
The cylinders containing fresh paste were rotated longitudinally at a rate of 12 14 rpm for the first 18 24 h of hydration in order to produce specimens with a homogeneous composition and structure.
In this study, it was shown that the in vitro degradation properties of brushite cements underwent major changes from 10 weeks onwards, for example, in terms of porosity, formation of an outer layer of the specimens, object volume, phase composition, and compressive strength.
The results indicate that for the melt-spun ribbons with at least 5 at.% Co, the glass crystallizes directly into B2 (Cu,Co Zr, while in the case of bulk specimens, compositions with 0 ⩽ x < 5 of Co contain the monoclinic (Cu,Co Zr phase as well as Cu10Zr7 and CuZr2, whereas for x ⩾ 10, the B2 (Cu,Co Zr phase is the equilibrium phase at room temperature.
Raman spectra of control bone specimens were consistent with normal bone composition and did not show evidence of pathological mineralization.
Specimens for tensile and compressive testing for each composition and for a 1D FGM composition were fabricated and tested.
The phase composition and Friedel's salt contents in the specimens were evaluated by XRD and TG-DTG analysis.
