Abstract Monolithic thin-wall components of 2219 Al–Cu alloy are widely used in aerospace and military fields, usually treated with solution quenching to improve their comprehensive performance. However, a high magnitude residual stress is introduced into the during process, which unfavorable subsequent manufacturing process service Therefore, relief essential enhance performance components. A ...

We compared the degrees of vitality 12 Korean native chicken breeds, such as Jaeraejong, Rhode Island Red (Rhode), White Leghorn, Cornish (Cornish), and Ogye breeds. The survival rate telomere length were measured vital markers. Telomere was analyzed via quantitative fluorescence in situ hybridization method using lymphocytes 466 chickens. found that decreased linearly with increasing chronolog...

In this issue, Tan et al. (2002) report the first high resolution (1.9 A) structural data for thrombospondin (TSP)-1, a large multifunctional protein that regulates cell adhesion, angiogenesis, cell proliferation and survival, TGFbeta activation, and protease function (for review see Chen et al., 2000). Because TSP-1 has multiple binding partners and many functions, precise structural informati...

Results of investigations of the O(4) spin model at finite temperature using anisotropic lattices are presented. In both the large N approximation and the numerical simulations using the Wolff cluster algorithm we find that the ratio of the symmetry restoration temperature TSR to the Higgs mass mH is independent of the anisotropy. We obtain a lower bound of 0.59±0.04 for the ratio, TSR/mH, at m...

Although randomized clinical trials have demonstrated efficacy of coronary irradiation versus placebo for the treatment of in-stent restenosis (ISR), durable long-term benefit in community practice is less well defined. From January 1, 2001, through June 30, 2002, consecutive percutaneous coronary intervention (n = 3,869) were analyzed at our center with a total of 330 patients undergoing coron...

OBJECTIVE Tumor-stroma ratio (TSR) has been identified as a new and practicable prognostic histological characteristic of solid tumors. The aim of this study was to evaluate the prognostic value of TSR in resected esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). METHODS A total of 95 patients who underwent esophagectomy for ESCC were included in this study. TSR was assessed visually on the hematoxy...

Temperature-Size Rule (TSR) is a phenotypic body size response of ectotherms to changing temperature. It is known from the laboratory studies, but seasonal patterns in the field were not studied so far. We examined the body size changes in time of rotifers inhabiting activated sludge. We hypothesize that temperature is the most influencing parameter in sludge environment, leading sludge rotifer...

OBJECTIVE Although vascular pulsatile tinnitus (VPT) has been classified as "objective", VPT is not easily recognizable or documentable in most cases. In response to this, we have developed transcanal sound recording (TSR) and spectro-temporal analysis (STA) for the objective diagnosis of VPT. By refining our initial method, we were able to apply TSR/STA to post-treatment outcome evaluation, as...

For decades the German economy was bank centered and stakeholder oriented. Inherent to the system the capital market did not play a central role. Since the 1990s the German economy has undergone some fundamental changes. The old ‘Germany Inc.’ is in the progress of disintegration. With an increasing capital market orientation, the venture capital and IPO market almost gained ground automaticall...

OBJECTIVE Antiangiogenic activity of thrombospondin-1 and related proteins is mediated by interactions between thrombospondin type 1 repeat (TSR) domains and the CD36, LIMP-2, Emp sequence homology (CLESH) domain of the endothelial cell receptor CD36. We sought to characterize key molecular determinants of the interaction between thrombospondin-1 TSR domains and the CD36 CLESH domain. APPROAC...
