automobile body plays crucial role in preventing the collision energy transfer in severe accidents to the passengers. if the collision energy is dissipated or saved in bumper or chassis, the amount of damage to the occupants would be minimized. using novel laminated panel (fiber metal laminate) in auto body, and considering the characteristics such as high energy absorption, strength, high dent...

Introduction Auto-ignition of cooking oils causes a significant proportion of household fires [1,2]. In addition, the majority of the 50% of all accidental fires in hotels, restaurants and fast food outlets that start in kitchens involve liquid cooking oil or fat as the primary ignition source [3,4]. The potential risk of loss of life and property damage due to cooking oils fires is high. Cooki...

With the aim to investigate the outcome of tandem high-dose chemotherapy and autologous stem cell transplantation (HDCT/auto-SCT) for high-grade gliomas (HGGs), we retrospectively reviewed the medical records of 30 patients with HGGs (16 glioblastomas, 7 anaplastic astrocytomas, and 7 other HGGs) between 2006 and 2015. Gross or near total resection was possible in 11 patients. Front-line treatm...

ART2a (RT6.1) and ART2b (RT6.2) are NAD glycohydrolases (NADases) that are linked to T lymphocytes by glycosylphosphatidylinositol anchors. Although both mature proteins possess three conserved regions (I, II, III) that form the NAD-binding site and differ by only ten amino acids, only ART2b is auto-ADP-ribosylated and only ART2a is glycosylated. To investigate the structural basis for these di...

because of heavy competition between auto manufacturer and the threats of foreign companies, they try to reduce the internal competition and costs by cooperation and merge. estimation about the auto market is affected by supply and demand. the demand depends on two factors: need for new cars and old cars exit. and the supply depends on production capacity and export. key factors that affected o...
