treatment of bone metastases comprises over 10% of the workload of a radiation-oncology center. bone metastases produce severe pain and immobility, necessitate narcotic use, and reduce the quality of life. a good palliative treatment must be complete, free from side effects and fast; thus we decided to evaluate strontium-89 (89sr) effectivity for palliation of breast and prostate cancer bone me...

in this study, al/gr composites with 5,10,15,20 weight percent of graphite were produced by in-situ powder metallurgy method. the produced powder mixtures were consolidated and sintered at optimum conditions. the resultant composites were solution treated at 495?c and aged at 170?c. the influence of graphite content on the bending strength of composites was studied. the distribution of graphite...
