The use of aluminum alloys in various industries, especially the automotive industries, to have less structural weight, is on the rise. The use of semi-solid forming process in addition to changes in the microstructure which improves the mechanical properties can reduce the volume of production and ultimately lead to the improvement of the structural weight. In this paper, optimization of the g...

Antifriction alloys such as AlSn20Cu are key material options for sliding bearings used in machinery. Uniform distribution and a near-equiaxed granularity tin phase generally considered to be ideal characteristics of an antifriction alloy, although these properties vary by fabrication method. In this study, analyze the variation microstructure with method, prepared three methods: semi-continuou...

Successful long-term cultures were generated from marrow buffy-coat cells incubated with either of two monoclonal anti-Ia antibodies, 7.2 and HBIOa, and complement. The mean CFU-GM toxicity for 7.2 and HBIOa was 81% and 94%, respectively, of the complement control. Cultures generated from marrows treated with 7.2 and complement produced between 30% and 163% of the CFU-GM (mean, 78.2 +/- 52.4%) ...

In Human Erythroid Massive Amplification (HEMA) cultures, AB mononuclear cells (MNC) generate 1-log more erythroid cells (EBs) than the corresponding CD34(pos) cells, suggesting that MNC may also contain CD34(neg) HPC. To clarify the phenotype of AB HPC which generate EBs in these cultures, flow cytometric profiling for CD34/CD36 expression, followed by isolation and functional characterization...

Plants have long been used as herbal medicines in many countries. However, microbial contamination of these medicines may affect human health. Present study was performed to assess the pathogenic proliferation in the locally available commercial herbal oral medicines. The pathogenic load was compared with the microbiological standard given by the British Pharmacopoeia. Out of 85 oral liquid sam...

The mold filling of semi-solid slurry involves intricate theory and physical phenomenon. influence inner gate shape speed on free surface liquid-solid distribution is investigated by adopting finite element numerical simulation. effect viscosity considered in the modelling. results show that affects surface. 3 m/s favorable for uniform solid-liquid phases. It has important guiding significance ...
