    In this article the influence of the important resistance spot welding process parameters on the shear-tensile strength of the welded joints of Inconel alloy 625 was investigated. Experimental study using full factorial design of the welding current‚ welding time‚ and electrode force parameters was conducted. In order to identify the influence of each parameter and their interaction a general linear model and a second order model using response surface method was developed. Nonlinear correlation

    Heat resistance of endospores of Bacillus pumilus Abstract Spore suspension of Bacillus pumilus was inoculated into universal bottles containing sterile distilled water in water baths at temperatures of 85°C‚ 90°C and 95°C. At specific time intervals‚ a sample was removed and spread on nutrient agar plates. The number of colonies formed was used to determine the D-value and z-value. The D-value for 85°C is 64.1 minutes‚ 25.7 minutes for 90°C and 8.2 minutes for 95°C while the z-value is 11
