Abstract To combine the advantages of two materials, hybrid bulk metal workpieces are attractive for subsequent processes such as forming. However, materials rely on initial bond strength effective transfer applied loads. Thus, a non-destructive evaluation bonding along production process chain is high interest. evaluate to what extent testing can be employed monitor quality between joining par...

SJL/J (H-2 (8)) lymphocytes, primed in vitro against primary, cultured, and transplantable syngeneic reticulum cell sarcomas (RCS) were found to recognize and bind to the tumor without subsequent cytolysis. Additional data showed that the recognition was also directed against Ia molecules of the H-2(d), but not H-2(k), haplotype. Normal spleen cells of DBA/2, B 10.D2, and B 10.OL mice were boun...

Novel octakis-2[(6-hydroxyhexyl)thio]ethyl-octasilsesquioxane (POSS-S-OH) as well as heptaisobutyl-2[(6-hydroxyhexyl)thio]ethyl-octasilsesquioxane (iBu-POSS-S-OH) were synthesized. POSS structures, bearing both types of groups i.e., 2[(6-hydroxyhexyl)thio]ethyl and the vinyl ones, pendant from the octahedral cage are also described. The synthetic pathway involved thiol-ene click reaction of 6-m...

In this paper, a compact magnetic bearing system has been developed for axial flow blood pumps. The system is composed of two radial hybrid magnetic bearings (HMBs) and a brushless permanent magnet DC motor. The impeller of the pump is enclosed in the rotor that is suspended by the two HMBs with five-degree of freedom (DOF) control, among which four radial directions are actively controlled, an...

Flywheel systems based on fibre composites can have power densities which are significantly better than for electrochemical batteries. Hence, they have considerable potential for use as peak power buffers in drive-trains for electric and hybrid vehicles. As the rotational speed is increased, however, bearing friction power loss and iron losses in the motor/generator become more significant. Thu...

To enable objective measurements of weight bearing in hip replacement patients a portable instrument set-up with an on-line registering pressure-sensitive insole was developed. Six men and 9 women, median age 58 (48–67) years, who had been operated on with a cementless or hybrid hip arthroplasty were studied. All patients were independent and functional. A physiotherapist instructed the patient...

A high-level expression of a transgene, Ead, encoding the I-Ed alpha-chain is very effective in protection against murine lupus. To investigate the specific contribution of select H-2 haplotypes on the Ead transgene-mediated disease-suppressing effect, we generated H-2 congenic (NZB x BXSB)F1 hybrid mice bearing either H-2b/b, H-2d/b, or H-2d/d haplotype, and compared the transgene-mediated pro...

The tribological performances of the SiO₂/MoS₂ hybrids as lubricant additives were explored by a reciprocating ball-on-flat tribometer for AZ31 magnesium alloy/AISI 52100 bearing steel pairs. The results demonstrated that the introduction of SiO₂/MoS₂ hybrids into the base oil exhibited a significant reduction in the friction coefficient and wear volume as well as an increase in load bearing ca...

Murine lymph node and thymus cells were tested for their sensitivity to the cytotoxic effect of 0 antibodies at various intervals after i.p. implantation of the Ehrlich ascites tumor. Within 16 days after tumor inoculation, both thymus and lymph node cells of RIII mice became almost completely refractory to 0-AKR antibodies. In C57BL mice, thymus cells lost their sensitivity to 0-C3H antibodies...

This article provides the graphical properties which can ensure unique localizability in cooperative networks with hybrid distance and bearing (angle of arrival) measurements. Furthermore, within the networks satisfying these graphical properties, this article identifies further sets of conditions so that the associated computational complexity becomes linear in the number of sensor nodes. We s...
