Effect of Notch on Low Cycle Fatigue of AA 2024-T351
Abstract: Notch effect on low cycle fatigue of AA 2024-T351 was investigated. Decreasing notch curvature leads to less cyclic hardening. Values of fatigue strength exponent (b) and fatigue ductility (c) for notch specimens were out of range of metallic materials. The SEM examination showed multi-crack origins with secondary cracks and a large final-fracture zone for unnotched specimens, while there was small final fracture zone close to the center of the specimen …

Ferrous bisglycinate (FBG) as a source of iron supplement
Abstract: Iron is a crucial element that holds significance in various essential biological functions. These include the synthesis of heme, which constitutes the core component of hemoglobin, the protein responsible for transporting oxygen in the bloodstream. Additionally, iron is involved in the production of myoglobin, energy metabolism, neurotransmitter synthesis, collagen formation, and the functioning of the immune system. There are mainly two reasons for iron imbalance: Iron deficiency and Iron overload. …

In vitro Responses of Indigofera tinctoria Linn. (Neela Amari)
Abstract: Indigofera tinctoria is an important medicinal plant of South and South-East Asia. These plants showed a low germination rate and scanty rooting of seedlings in conventional propagation. The tender leaves showed callus formation in MS medium with single auxin [Naphthalene Acetic Acid (NAA); 2, 4 Dichloro phenoxy Acetic acid (2, 4-D)]. Lower concentration of auxin showed better result. The explants showed callusing frequency of 95%. Even though both the auxins …
