radioimmunotherapy (rit) of non-hodgkin’s lymphoma (nhl) is said to be more advantageous compared to unlabelled therapeutic antibodies. to this date, radiolabelled murine anti-cd20 mabs, zevalin® and bexxar® have been approved for imaging and therapy. a preparation containing rituximab, chimeric mab radioimmunoconjugate suitable for lu-177 labeling, could provide better imaging and therapeutic ...

Competition overview: Entrants to the Young Stress Analyst (YSA) competition were invited to submit 1000 word summaries of their work. The submissions were reviewed by an expert panel and four finalists were selected and invited to attend the 10 th International Conference on Experimental Mechanics. The YSA 2015 finalists will present their papers in a plenary session on Wednesday 2 nd Septembe...

We present a detailed study of B1-xNx (0<x<0.6) films synthesized at room temperature by N2 + ion-beam assisted evaporation of boron. The atom-ion ratio was related to the final boron concentration as determined by X-ray energy dispersive spectroscopy (XEDS), and to the bonding structure explored by infrared (IR) and X-ray absorption near-edge structure (XANES) spectroscopies. IR and XANES reve...

To detect POCl3 molecule, adsorption phenomena of this molecule on the pure, Al- and Si-doped BN sheet surfaces were investigated via density functional theory (DFT) approach. The most stable adsorption complexes, including POCl3/BN (O-B), POCl3/Al-BN (O-Al), and POCl3/Si-BN (O-Si), were predicted with the adsorption energies of about -8.64, -37.01 and, -62.01 kcal mol-1, respectively. Upon the...

Gibbs free-energy calculations based on density functional theory have been used to determine the possible source of failure of boron carbide just above the Hugoniot elastic limit (HEL). A range of B4C polytypes is found to be stable at room pressure. The energetic barrier for shock amorphization of boron carbide is by far the lowest for the B12(CCC) polytype, requiring only 6 GPa approximately...

In this study, to evaluate the effect of boron carbide (B4C) addition on wear performance aluminum (Al), Al6061 and 5, 10, 20 vol.% B4C/Al6061 composites were manufactured using stir casting hot rolling processes. B4C particles randomly dispersed during process; then, arranged in direction a process further improve dispersion resistance composites. Furthermore, continuous interfacial layer betw...

In this study, B4C+SiC/B4C +TiB2/SiC+TiB2 hybrid reinforcements were added to Al 7075 matrix via the powder metallurgy method. The powders subjected mechanical grinding for 240 min, as shown in graphical abstract. composite structure produced by was then placed a vertical casting chamber and molten (main matrix) obtain samples. Samples dissolved 1 h at 480 ?C, aged 120 ?C 4-h increments (32 tot...
