In this study, the pitting type of corrosion growth characteristics, fatigue crack initiation and propagation behavior; axial fatigue tests were carried out on precipitation hardened martensitic Custom 450 steel in the air and 3.5wt% NaCl solution. Using the ratio of the depth to the half-width of the pits; (a/c)= 1.5±0.2 the corrosion pit depth growth law was obtained as a function of stress a...

SET9, a protein lysine methyltransferase, has been thought to be capable of transferring only one methyl group to target lysine residues. However, some reports have pointed out that SET9 can dimethylate Lys372 of p53 (p53-K372) and Lys4 of histone H3 (H3-K4). In order to understand how p53 can be dimethylated by SET9, we measured the radius of the channel that surrounds p53-K372, first on the b...

Populations of three isolates of Bursaphelenchus xylophilus, the pinewood nematode, and one of B. mucronatus were treated with three cryoprotectants at -70 C for 24 hours followed by deep freezing at -180 C in liquid nitrogen for different periods of time. A solution of 15% glycerol, 35% buffer S, and 50% M9, or 1% aqueous solution of dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO), or a mixture of 60% M9 and 40% S b...

Background & Aim: Free radicals play a crucial role in the development of tissue damage in various human diseases such as cancer, aging, neurodegenerative disease, malaria and arteriosclerosis, and pathological events in living organisms. Antioxidants may have an important role in the prevention of these diseases. The aim of this study is to evaluate potency of scavenging of DPPH free radicals ...

‎In this paper‎, ‎a matrix based method is considered for the solution of a class of nonlinear Volterra integral equations with a kernel of the general form $s^{beta}(t-s)^{-alpha}G(y(s))$ based on the Tau method‎. ‎In this method‎, ‎a transformation of the independent variable is first introduced in order to obtain a new equation with smoother solution‎. ‎Error analysis of this method is also ...

where ⊂Rn (n≥ 2) is a bounded smooth domain, s ∈ (0, 1), (– )s denotes the fractional Laplacian, λ is a real parameter, the nonlinear term f satisfies superlinear and subcritical growth conditions at zero and at infinity. When λ≤ 0, we prove the existence of a positive solution, a negative solution and a sign-changing solution by combing minimax method with invariant sets of descending flow. Wh...
