The effect of grain size on void swelling has its origin in the intrinsic property of grain boundaries as neutral and unsaturable sinks for both vacancies and self-interstitial atoms. The phenomenon had already been investigated in the 1970s and it was demonstrated that the grain-size-dependent void swelling measured…

Black Africans are characterized by an increased prevalence of essential hypertension (EH). Several studies have shown that extractives from many plants are useful for the management and/or control of high blood pressure (hypertension). The aim of this study was to evaluate the antihypertensive efficacy of leaf extrac…

An improvement was proposed for the pore-size analysis of active carbons based on low-temperature (77 K) nitrogen adsorption isotherms measured over a wide range of relative pressures (5 × 10 −7 –0.995). It was shown that the applicability of the Barrett, Joyner and Halenda (BJH) computational method based on the Kelv…
