Investigation of wear and microhardness behaviors of AA2196 matrix composite materials reinforced with ceramics produced by powder metallurgy method
This study aims to investigate the microhardness and wear properties of AA2196 alloy, one of the new generation aluminum-lithium (Al-Li) alloys, reinforced with single and dual (hybrid) Spiral Heater Element ceramic composites.The produced materials were evaluated to improve their properties.The microhardness and wear tests were conducted to assess
Migration nowcasting using Google Trends: cross-country application
Analysis of migration flows is crucial for understanding and forecasting social and economic trends.This paper presents an algorithm for obtaining migration estimates with minimal time delay (nowcasting) using Google Trends Index (GTI) search queries.The predictive power of the models is assessed across different periods, including one marked by th
