Corrosion of Welded Metal Structures of Mining Equipment
2018
Mining equipment made of welded metal structures is strongly affected by the corrosion phenomenon due to the working conditions. Initial research has shown that the corrosion phenomenon is most pronounced in the area of cross-welded joints and welded T-shaped joints. In the researches, there was made a chemical analysis of the welded construction material used respectively of the new material and it was observed a reduction in carbon concentration in the material used, but also a substantial increase in the sulfur concentration compared to the new material. The pronounced corrosion of the metallic structure is influenced by the chemical composition change because the sulfur is a grafitizin…
Neuroprotective Effects of Low Intensity and Low Frequency Electromagnetic �in vitro� Stimulation on Glial Cells
2020
Degenerative neurological diseases (senile dementia, Alzheimer`s disease, glaucoma), post-stroke sequelae are increasing as prevalence nowadays, in context of aging in general population, and there are strong evidences that astrocytes may play a significant role in neuroprotection. The study evaluates the effects of low intensity low frequency electromagnetic field (EMF) �in vitro� stimulation (195 mA, 7-8 Hz) on the glial cells, in different conditions, in order to identify the neuroprotective potential. Three cell lines were used for the study: the Clonetics (Lonza) line of normal human astrocytes, U87 glioblastoma tumor cells (ATCC) and L929 murine fibroblasts. The cell cultures were ex…
