Helicteres angustifolia L. is a shrub that forms a common ingredient of several cancer treatment recipes in traditional medicine system both in China and Laos. In order to investigate molecular mechanisms of its anticancer activity, we prepared aqueous extract of Helicteres angustifolia L. Roots (AQHAR) and performed several in vitro assays using human normal fibroblasts (TIG-3) and osteosarcom...

This paper explains an integrated method of using genetic algorithm on the experimental data for optimizing the process parameters for height to width ratio and use of artificial neural network techniques for predicting the effects on the four weld bead geometric descriptors (front height, front width, back height and back width) by the five controlling weld process variables (welding speed, wi...

The review focused on the applications of tungsten inert gas a (TIG) metal (MIG) welding processes. Each process was critical studied to understand operations and need maintain safety reliable weld with adequate mechanical properties. In addition, various in aerospace, aeronautic, automotive food packaging industries were critically highlighted. However, there potentials as well problems highli...

Metals are often subjected to various types of stresses, usually under tensile stress, quick failure material can be encouraged especially when poor combinations process parameters employed in joining the material. Tensile strength is regarded as maximum stress that a sustain tension. The aim this study predict weld tungsten inert gas (TIG) mild steel welds using Response Surface Methodology (R...

Welding is a suitable and better process to manufacture complex objects for aerospace, naval, automotive structures. Service conditions complexity in load acting force the manufactures make joints between dissimilar materials. Thus, there need efficient welding techniques form sound an understanding of imperfections their effects. In this study attempt has been made joining feasibility aluminum...

Welded metallic structures are usually prone to different forms of degradation in the mechanical properties during their life span such as fatigue. Tungsten Inert Gas remelting is a post-weld treatment method which gained increasing interest last decades. However, more light should be thrown on behavior existing cracked retrofitted by TIG-remelting. Therefore, fatigue test results several welde...

For decades now, Fronius has exerted a significant influence on the progress achieved in welding technology, and is regarded as a global technological leader. In robotic welding too, about 30% of the power sources used worldwide are supplied by Fronius. To continue to play this dominant role in the world market, the company opened a new Research and Development Center in Thalheim (Upper Austria...

Tetanus immune globulin (TIG) continues to be recommended in persons with tetanus-prone wounds who have incomplete or unknown tetanus immunization status. The aim of this study was to determine whether, following a booster dose of tetanus toxoid in adults who had not been immunized in the previous 10 years, there was an antitoxin response to tetanus toxoid booster within 4 days. Thirty-one adul...

In the present investigation, we examined the effect of Hyuganatsu (Citrus tamurana) extract (HE) on skin fibroblast (TIG-119) proliferation and migration during in vitro wound healing. HE selectively inhibited proliferation of TIG-119 cells at higher concentration (>1.0 mg/mL); at lower concentrations (0.1, 0.25, 0.5, and 0.75 mg/mL), it exhibited linear and time-dependent cell proliferation. ...
