Corrosion inhibition efficiencies of polymeric materials on alloy steel in dilute hydrochloric acid and sodium hydroxide solutions at ambient temperature
A corrosion control test was conducted on alloy steel, using polymeric coatings (polyurethane, bitumen (medium airing), and high-density polyethylene) in dilute HCl solutions of pH values 4, 7, and 12, respectively for acid, neutral and alkaline solutions at ambient temperature.In the study, Eighty-four coupons of alloy steel were used.The coupons
PREDATION OF Boophilus microplus (CANESTRINI, 1887) (ACARI: IXODIDAE) TICK ENGORGED FEMALE BY THE ANT Pachycondyla striata (SMITH, 1858) (HYMENOPTERA: FORMICIDAE) IN PASTURES
Faced with difficulties in the chemical control of Boophilus microplus, this work intended to observe the principal predator of engorged females in pastures of the grass Brachiaria decumbens, at Juiz de Fora, MG, Brazil.A total of 300 Frames engorged female were used, between six experimental repetitions during the winter of 1998 and the summer of
