BACKGROUND Bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome (BOS) with small-airway pathology and obstructive pulmonary physiology may not be the only form of chronic lung allograft dysfunction (CLAD) after lung transplantation. Characteristics of a form of CLAD consisting of restrictive functional changes involving peripheral lung pathology were investigated. METHODS Patients who received bilateral lung tr...

OBJECTIVES Living-donor lobar lung transplantation (LDLLT) has been established as a life-saving procedure for critically ill patients who cannot wait for cadaveric lung transplantation. Chronic lung allograft dysfunction (CLAD) is the main cause of late morbidity and mortality in lung transplantation. Studies on CLAD in cadaveric lung transplantation have been extensively reported, but few rep...

In this research, corrugated Mg/Al clad sheet with good interface bonding was prepared a rolling mill of upper roll and lower flat under the conditions 35% reduction 400 °C. The mechanical properties were studied using transverse tensile test, Vickers microhardness as well its bending properties. Moreover, mechanism researched through three-dimensional contour analysis. results showed that UTS ...

This paper describes the testing of Profiled Steel Sheet Dry Board (PSSDB) load bearing wall system. Experimental tests were conducted on various PSSDB wall samples, with and without infill materials to study its effect on the PSSDB load bearing wall performance. A proprietary profiled steel sheet, Ajiya Cliplock (0.48 mm thick) attached to Cemboard (10 mm thick) on one side, and Cemplank (10 m...

The article reviews the weldability of clad steel used for protection inner surface oil-and-gas pipelines from corrosion by different welding materials. It is indicated that during root pass stainless electrodes in one transition structures appear on interface two dissimelar metals. This process leads to formaion cracks. To reduce negative impact characteristics welded joints it recommended wel...

An experimental test was carried out to explosively clad solution annealed Inconel 718 superalloy on quench-tempered AISI H13 hot tool steel. A wavy with vortices interface geometry was obtained from this experiment. A gradual change in the wavelength along the direction of welding was observed which was due to a change in the impact angle, following the plate contacts. In this paper, the exper...

in order to provide the data needed for the design of saffron processing equipment, physical properties of its flower were investigated. these properties included dimensions, mass, true and bulk densities, porosity, static and dynamic coefficients of friction, and terminal velocity as a function of moisture content. the average range of these properties for the three different parts of saff...
