Semi-solid feedstock of AZ80 magnesium alloy modified by [trace] rare-earth Y element 10 (0, 0.2, 0.4, 0.8 wt.%) were fabricated by [strain-induced melting activation] (SIMA) in the form of 11 extrusion and partial remelting. The effect of Y addition on the microstructure evolution of [the] 12 extruded and [isothermally heat] treated alloy was observed by [using an] optical microscope (OM), 13 ...

OBJECTIVES The Arterial Revascularization Trial (ART) is a randomized comparison of bilateral internal mammary artery (BIMA) versus single internal mammary artery (SIMA) grafting in coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery and is one of the largest randomized trials of surgery ever conducted. ART is also one of the largest studies of contemporary CABG with a high proportion of off-pump surge...

This paper provides an overview of an implementation of Differentiated Services interior node (a.k.a. core node) as described in the SIMA concept. The core node operation was verified with a series of measurements in a real networking environment. These measurements also give some idea about the level of Quality of Service this kind of mechanism is able to provide.
