Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis has a poor prognosis and few efficacious treatments. The immunosuppressant cyclosporin A has been shown to inhibit tumour growth factor (TGF)-beta-induced collagen deposition in vitro, and is widely used in Japan as a potent antifibrotic agent. Tacrolimus (FK506) is another attractive immunosuppressant, which may be useful in the treatment of pulmonary fibrosis. Th...

Abstract:transition and heat affected zones formed during surface remelting (in order to improve wear resistance) with TIGprocess has been investigated. Relationship between various TIG parameters and thickness of remelted and heataffected zones revealed that a high concentrated heat energy is imposed by TIG process which makes it a proper optionfor focused surface treatment. Based on microstru...

The prediction of the weld bead geometry parameters is an important aspect welding processes due to it related strength welded joint. This research focuses on using statistical design techniques and a deep learning neural network predict shape shielded metal arc (SMAW), inert gas (MIG), tungsten (TIG) processes. With techniques, experiments were carried out obtain data for generating regression...

We describe the TIG formalism and its advantages over CFGs and TAGs. We then give an algorithm for training PLTIGs following Hwa (2001). We train on a partially supervised corpus by repeated parsing with a lexicalized normal form. The training algorithm is EM-style, and the parsing algorithm is a generalization of CKY. Finally, we look toward the possibility of extending this method into a sync...

The present study was designed to evaluate the effect of one rare sugar, D-allose, on normal human cells and cutaneous tissue, and to investigate the radiosensitizing and chemosensitizing potential of D-allose in an in vivo model of head and neck cancer. Results indicated that D-allose did not inhibit the growth of normal human fibroblasts TIG-1 cells, and no apoptotic changes were observed aft...

Different post-weld treatment methods have been developed to enhance the fatigue strength of welded steel structures and extend service lives their components. High-frequency mechanical impact (HFMI) tungsten inert gas (TIG) remelting are two that attracted considerable interest in recent decades. This paper presents results a study life extension for pre-fatigued details which can be achieved ...
