In situ Al2024- Mg2Si composite was fabricated by spark plasma sintering (SPS) of reactive powder. Reactive powder was obtained from mechanical alloying (MA) of elemental powders. Clad layers of in situ composite were fabricated on Al substrates by spark plasma sintering (SPS). Structural evolution during MA process and after SPS was investigated by X-ray diffractometery (XRD). Scanning electro...

PurposeSurvival after lung transplantation (LT) is hampered by the development of chronic allograft dysfunction (CLAD). There no treatment available to reverse CLAD once diagnosed, but early intervention could modify progressive function decline. Thus, biomarkers are need for detection CLAD. High levels donor derived cell-free DNA (ddcfDNA) have been described precede acute cellar rejection and...

AIM To assess the prevalence of vitamin D deficiency in burka-clad pregnant women and to study feto-maternal outcome in these women. METHODS 200 pregnant burka-clad women of 18-40-year age group irrespective of the period of gestation were recruited from the ANC OPD/ward of Kasturba hospital, and their vitamin D levels were estimated. Patients were categorized into vitamin D deficient, vitami...

OBJECTIVE There is growing interest in using closed-loop anesthetic delivery (CLAD) systems to automate control of brain states (sedation, unconsciousness and antinociception) in patients receiving anesthesia care. The accuracy and reliability of these systems can be improved by using as control signals electroencephalogram (EEG) markers for which the neurophysiological links to the anesthetic-...

Chronic lung allograft dysfunction (CLAD) is, in one sense, a term without a true consensus definition, although its common usage in the field of lung transplantation implies a base understanding throughout the community that it describes a lung allograft that does not work (well) [1]. There appears to be general agreement that CLAD most commonly occurs in a time-dependent fashion after transpl...

The laser parasitic oscillations in active media under high pumping condition limit the gain of a high power amplifier system. This problem occurs due to existence of closed optical paths by internal reflections of active medium or systems. This problem can be overcome by eliminating the internal reflections by making rough surface, grooves, or antireflection coating or using index matching flu...

In this work, duplex stainless steel/low-alloy steel-clad rebars were fabricated using metal deposition and hot rolling. The interfacial characteristics of the rebar, such as element diffusion phase composition, investigated an optical microscope a scanning electron with energy-dispersive spectrometer. mechanical properties rebar evaluated by tensile bending tests. results show that interface i...
