PURPOSE OF REVIEW Chronic lung allograft dysfunction (CLAD) was recently introduced as an overarching term covering different phenotypes of chronic allograft dysfunction, including obstructive CLAD (bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome), restrictive CLAD (restrictive allograft syndrome) and graft dysfunction due to causes not related to chronic rejection. In the present review, we will highlight t...

Because of the promising corrosion resistance and load-bearing capacity, titanium-clad (TC) bimetallic steel has gained increasing attention in ocean/coastal civil structural engineering. Due to double-layer nature TC steel, characteristics member’s geometry weld details are considerably different from that conventional members. Even though previous studies have conducted systematical clarifica...

   A low carbon Al-killed Ti-added steel was produced in Mobarakeh Steel Complex in Iran. Mechanical properties and microstructural characterizations of steel in the as-cast, hot-rolled, cold-rolled and annealed conditions are presented. Dilatometery tests were carried out to measure the finishing and annealing temperatures of steel. It was found that the addition of small amounts of Ti increas...
