Three methods of plastic embedding were assessed for their value in routine dermatopathology. The J B 4, Taab embedding, and Taab transmit techniques were compared for quality, convenience, and safety. The Taab transmit method was the most satisfactory method, being both rapid and simple. An additional advantage is that the resin can be removed and the immunoperoxidase technique carried out on ...

We report on surface elasticity, plastic deformation and crack initiation of chemically strengthened soda-lime silicate sodium aluminosilicate glasses during lateral indentation scratch testing. Instrumented using a normal indenter set-up corroborated previous findings the effects chemical strengthening Young's modulus, hardness, cracking. Using in elastic-plastic regime, we find pronounced inc...

The microstructure and composition evolution of FeCoNiCrMn high entropy alloy during extreme deformation with a strain rate 108–109 s−1 induced by cold spray technology was investigated. In the region experiencing extremely large deformation, ultrafine nanograins an average size smaller than 100 nm were formed due to occurrence dynamic recrystallization. Additionally, rapid redistribution segre...
