We examined the ability of an equivalent increase in circulating glucose concentrations to inhibit endogenous glucose production (EGP) and to stimulate glucose metabolism in patients with Type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM2). Somatostatin was infused in the presence of basal replacements of glucoregulatory hormones and plasma glucose was maintained either at 90 or 180 mg/dl. Overnight low-dose insuli...

Electron beam (EB) physical vapour deposited (PVD) thermal barrier coatings (TBCs) have been used in gas turbine engines for a number of years. The primary mode of failure is attributed to oxidation of the bondcoat and growth of the thermally grown oxide (TGO), the alumina scale that forms on the bondcoat and to which the ceramic top coat adheres. Once the TGO reaches a critical thickness the T...

The aim of this study was to describe and quantify the therapeutic value of honey in oral mucosal ulcers healing in comparison with Glyceroloxytriester (TGO). We also aimed to biochemically evaluate the healing effects of honey which had been collected from the Blacksea region flora on mucosal ulcers resulting in material loss.Thirty wistar rats (240+/-30 g) were enrolled in this study. Excisio...

Additional current pulses get injected into the lightning channel from branches and/or from successive reflections within struck Tall Grounded Objects (TGOs). These pulses termed here as “secondary current waves/pulses” affect the lightning Electro-Magnetic Fields (EMFs). With regard to these, an important question arises on whether or not these pulses get reflected at the main wavefront and th...

Rare earth elements have a great positive influence on the oxidation behavior and thereby lifetime of TBC systems. A commonly used EB-PVD NiCoCrAlY bondcoat was doped by Hf Zr in range 0.1–1 at.%. More than 3000 cycles were achieved Hf-doping 0.15?0.6 at.% which is large improvement. BCs provide high lifetimes about 2800 with low doping content 0.3 Microstructural changes, especially TGO, inclu...

A new multi-layered thermal barrier coating system (TBCs) containing gadolinium zirconate (GZ, Gd2Zr2O7) and yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) was developed using suspension plasma spray (SPS) to improve the overall cycling performance. This study focuses on cracking behavior of GZ/YSZ TBC after exposure find out key factors that limit its lifetime. Different behaviors were detected depending tr...

The nature and origins of longitudinal density structures in Mars’ thermosphere between 100 120 km altitude, −30° −75° latitude around winter solstice (Ls = 70–122°), as measured by the accelerometer on ExoMars Trace Gas Orbiter (TGO) Mission, are investigated. methodology consists deducing responsible waves comparing observed longitude versus local time phase progressions with those probable c...
