Because of the large volume of Inconel 718 used by the aerospace and power generation industries and the high percentage of metal removed to machine complex component geometries; understanding and improving the machining characteristics of Inconel 718 would result in substantial cost savings. While progress has been made in developing improved tool materials and machining processes, a detailed ...

METHODS Alanine scan of insulin receptor (IR)-B exon 11 and site-directed mutagenesis of amino acid 718 in human IR-A and IR-B were performed. Ligand affinities to wild type and mutated receptors were studied by displacement of radioactive insulin in binding assay on secreted soluble midi receptors or solubilized semi-purified full length receptors stably expressed in Baby Hamster Kidney cells....

This paper introduces Silk, CELT, and BroadVoice that are available in the internet as open source voice codecs. Their voice quality is evaluated with a subjective listening test. AMR, AMR-WB, G.718, G.718B, and G.722.1C were used as standardized references. In addition Skype’s Silk codec’s peculiar bandwidth and bitrate characteristics are examined in more detail.
