Soda lignin does not have thermal flowing characteristics and it is impossible for it to be further thermally molded. To achieve the fusibility of soda lignin for fiber preparation by melt-spinning, an effective method for soda lignin modification was conducted by cooking it with polyethylene glycol (PEG) 400 at various ratios. The higher the ratio of PEG that was used, the more PEG molecular c...

Allorecognition is ubiquitous, or nearly so, amongst colonial invertebrates. Despite the prominent role that such phenomena have played both in evolutionary theory and in speculations on the origin of the vertebrate immune system, unambiguous data on the transmission genetics of fusibility (i.e., the ability of two individuals to fuse upon tissue contact) is lacking for any metazoan outside of ...

Finishing methods of machining superhard composite’s working elements based on cubic boron nitride BL group are considered. The results the microgeometry formation research cutting inserts’ surfaces during by free powders synthetic diamond, grinding wheels and a method vibro-magnetic-abrasive (VMAM) presented. It is shown that VMAM friction between abrasive particles result in microremoval mate...

Enhanced mechanical properties in terms of strain hardening capacity and uniform have been measured for recently developed TRIP-TWIP β−metastable Ti alloys. However, hardly anything has reported about their fracture properties. An original scenario including adiabatic shear banding is proposed both flat cylindrical tensile specimens Ti-12wt.% Mo tested quasi-static conditions at room temperatur...

When end use considerations preclude complete utilization of the multifunctional design capabilities of DuPont engineering plastics, components can be joined through a variety of relatively quick and inexpensive assembly techniques. Among them: press and snap fits, cold heading cementing self-tapping screws, heat staking and spin, vibration and sonic welding. There is still another method of jo...

Plasmodium falciparum DNA, isolated from the merozoite stage, was cleaved with HindIII and cloned in pBR322 and lambda L47.1 vectors. Plasmid clones containing 13.4, 7.0, 4.3, 4.1 and 1.5 kb inserts were characterized in some detail. The inserts contain several repeating units of smaller size. Nucleic acid hybridization studies showed that the repeat element is present in the Plasmodium DNA at ...

A recently developed ultra-hard boride-based material, AlMgB14, has been fabricated into a standard cutting tool geometry (TPG-222) and tested using single-point turning of Ti-6Al-4V. The initial testing was conducted to compare this new cutting tool’s performance relative to a WC-Co cutting tool. During the tests the boride-based inserts suffered catastrophic failure for a wide range of cuttin...
