The aim of this work is to show the experimental results corresponding to comparative corrosion studies carried out with five commercially pure different metals (iron, lead, zinc, aluminum, and copper) together with the alloy stainless steel 316. Field tests were performed in two different environments. The first, urban environment was represented by a zone corresponding to met…

During the last half-century universities have faced major social and intellectual challenges, often seen as constituting a crisis. It is argued here that the intellectual challenges are associated with a move away from the confidence inherited from the Enlightenment towards the uncertainties of the postmodern condition. The implications for the way in which we educate students…

Accreditation bodies for engineering education around the world have been advocating for the implementation of outcome based education. In order to achieve this effectively, engineering educators are increasingly adopting student-centered modes of learning. One such mode is problem based learning (PBL). In this paper experience with the implementation of micro-level PBL is desc…

While attention of academia and industry on materia ls properties is largely focused on mechanics, wear causes losses in industry at least not smaller tha n fracture caused by mechanical deformation. We discuss the importance of tribology for polymer- based materials (PBMs). Traditional tribology developed originally for metals cannot be applied t o PBMs for at least two reason…

Viruses are highly abundant and the main predator of microorganisms. Microorganisms of each domain of life are infected by dedicated viruses. Viruses infecting archaea are genomically and structurally highly diverse. Archaea are undersampled for viruses in comparison with bacteria and eukaryotes. Consequently, the infection mechanisms of archaeal viruses are largely unknown, an…

The prosthetic group of citrate (pro-3S)-lyase [citrate oxaloacetate-lyase (pro-3S-CH2COO- leads to acetate); EC 4.1.3.6] from Klebsiella aerogenes was obtained by mild alkaline hydrolysis of the enzyme and purified by DEAE-cellulose chromatography. Several chemical and enzymatic degradation products of the compound have been isolated, and analyses of these have shown the struc…
