Abstract—The wear measuring and wear modelling are fundamental issues in the industrial field, mainly correlated to the economy and safety. Therefore, there is a need to study the wear measurements and wear estimation. Pin-on-disc test is the most common test which is used to study the wear behaviour. In this paper, the pin-on-disc (AEROTECH UNIDEX 11) is used for the investigation of the effec...

Puroindoline (Pina and Pinb) genes control grain texture or hardness in wheat. Wild-type/soft alleles lead to softer grain while a mutation in one or both of these genes results in a hard grain. Variation in hardness in genotypes with identical Pin alleles (wild-type or mutant) is known but the molecular basis of this is not known. We now report the identification of wheat genotypes with hard g...

Pin-1 has been shown to regulate several phases of the cell cycle and is strikingly overexpressed in many human cancers. Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)-C is a potent lymphangiogenic factor produced by tumor and stromal cells. However, little is known about the roles of Pin-1 and VEGF-C in breast carcinoma. p53 protein and cyclin D1 overexpressions have been shown to play a role as pr...

migration and quality of redistribution of population across country is one of the main factors that planners take into account to control population and guide its movements to economic poles. scientific recognition of migration phenomenon is important for managing and policy making in the country. these movements change migration pattern, in a way that along with increase in population and the...

Since the 80’s, industrial core calculations employ two-step scheme based on prior cross sections preparation with few energy groups and in homogenized reference geometries. Spatial homogenization fuel assembly quarters is most frequent calculation option nowadays, relying efficient nodal solvers using a coarse mesh. Pin-wise reaction rates are then reconstructed by dehomogenization techniques....

Introduction Fixation of the acromioclavicular joint with Kirschner wires (K-wire) has been widely used by orthopeadic and trauma surgeons in recent past. Now technique is less common. Migration a common complication being limited to fixation area majority cases can be devastating event rare cases. The objective was explore K-wire migration into spinal canal after repair. Material methods A cli...
