Biochemical and Histological Study of Rat Liver Injury Induced by carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) by Ansam Awad Ali

“…A section of the liver of group (T4) rats treated with carbon tetrachloride, showed the pathological anatomical shapes of the hepatic lobules showed severe congestion in the portal vein, and a noticeable disorder in the hepatic cord characterized by severe fatty degeneration of the liver cells with Atrophy, congestion and congestion of central veins, portal vessels and normal liver cells. The current study concluded the relationship between the increase in liver enzyme in the case of treatment with CCl4 and its decrease in treatment with the amino acid BABA. …”

THERMOELECTRIC HEAT EXCHANGER - HEAT TRANSMISSION INTENSIFIER FOR MAINTAINING A THERMAL REGIME IN ELECTRONIC SYSTEMS by Sh. A. Yusufov

“…A mathematical model is provided for determining the temperature of air flows from the heatexchange surfaces of a thermoelectric system (TES), as well as the limiting length of a thermoelectric system to achieve equal output temperature at given supply currents of thermoelectric batteries.Conclusion. On the basis of the conducted studies, it is concluded that a longer thermoelectric system for ensuring the intensification mode corresponds to an increased difference in the temperature of the coolant at the inlet. …”

Features of the bridge span performance when shifting the axis of the rail-sleeper grid by V. V. Korolev, A. A. Loktev, I. V. Shishkina, E. A. Gridasova

“…It is noted that although the increase in stresses (by about 6 %) can generally be considered insignificant, the presence of defects in the span beams (concrete chips, cracks in the stretched zone, exposure and corrosion of working reinforcement, decrease in the calculated cross section, leaching of cement stone from concrete, decrease in concrete strength over time) can make it a significant enough factor limiting the operational capabilities of bridge crossings.…”
