The dynamic strain aging (DSA) behavior was investigated in GH4169 alloy during tensile deforming with electric-pulse current (EPC) at 750 °C. results show that DSA is restrained the when deformed 40 Hz-EPC. size of γ″ phase inner grains increases obviously and δ facilitated to precipitate on grain boundary applied EPC, due promotion effect EPC diffusion segregation atoms. Transmission electron...

BACKGROUND Patients afflicted with chronic kidney disease (CKD) typically suffer from cardiovascular disease (CVD) which is a leading cause of patient mortality. It has been demonstrated that two distinct physiological events contribute to this disease state. These include the abundance of abnormally high levels of protein-bound uraemic toxins as well as functionally aberrant endothelial progen...

The term "Internet of Things (IoT)" expresses a huge network of smart and connected objects which can interact with other devices without our interposition. Radio frequency identification (RFID) is a great technology and an interesting candidate to provide communications for IoT networks, but numerous security and privacy issues need to be considered. In this paper, we analyze the security and ...

OBJECTIVE The presence of Candida albicans on the surfaces of denture-base acrylic resins is strongly related to the development of oral stomatitis. This study evaluated the antifungal action of different agents over microwave-cured acrylic resin without polishing specimens previously contaminated with Candida albicans. MATERIAL AND METHODS Sixty specimens were immersed in BHI broth previousl...

OBJECTIVE Endothelial progenitor cells (EPC) in one study group is not the same as EPC in other investigators, suggesting that EPC is not a single type of cell population. In this study, we tried to demonstrate the heterogeneity of EPC. METHODS AND RESULTS We cultured total mononuclear cells from human peripheral blood to get two types of EPC sequentially from the same donors. We called them ...

The construction of perfect dominating sets in all binary 2-cubes (r > 3) with the same number of edges along each coordinate direction is performed, thus generalizing the known construction of this for r = 3. However, an adaptation of that construction aiming to perfect dominating sets in the 14-ternary cube with edges along all coordinate directions still fails. 1 Perfect Dominating Sets in B...

The precise and conceptual insight of circulating endothelial progenitor cell (EPC) kinetics is hampered by the absence of an assay system capable of evaluating the EPC differentiation cascade. An assay system for EPC colony formation was developed to delineate circulating EPC differentiation. EPC colony-forming assay using semisolid medium and single or bulk CD133(+) cells from umbilical cord ...

INTRODUCTION Previously, we demonstrated that children with active systemic vasculitis (SV) have higher circulating CD34 + CD133 + KDR+ endothelial progenitor cells (EPC); the function of these EPCs, and their relationship with disease activity in vasculitis remains largely unexplored. We hypothesized that although EPC numbers are higher, EPC function is impaired in active SV of the young. The ...

An experiment was undertaken at the College of Agriculture, Vellayani, Kerala to study effect organic nutrition on growth attributes and yield taro during 2019-20 2020-21. The treatments comprised six levels sources (S1 - FYM + wood ash; S2 ash PGPR mix I; S3 I vermiwash; S4 Poultry manure S5 S6 vermiwash) two in-situ green manuring (G1 with cowpea; G2 dhaincha ) three controls (C1 Nutrient man...
