17-4ph stainless steel is a martensitic precipitation hardening stainless steel that provides an outstandingcombination of high strength, good corrosion resistance, good mechanical properties, good toughness in both base metal and welds, and short time, low-temperature heat treatments that minimize warpage and scaling. this valuable alloy is widely used in the aerospace, nuclear, chemical, petr...

During the past decade, polymer nanocomposites have emerged relatively as a new and rapidly developing class of composite materials and attracted considerable investment in research and development worldwide.Direct machining of polymers can be an option for personalized products and for manufacturing product samples. To obtain high quality products and reduce machining costs, it is very importa...

Experimental data for the vibrational relaxation NO(X(2)Π, v = 1) + Ar → NO(X(2)Π, v = 0) + Ar between 300 and 2000 K are analyzed. The measured rate coefficients k10 greatly exceed Landau-Teller values (LT)k10. This observation can be attributed to a mechanism involving curve-crossing of the (A'', v = 1) and (A', v = 0) vibronic states of the collision system. At high temperatures, the rate co...

Many of the genes that control pattern formation in Drosophila encode mRNAs that are localized to discrete regions of the oocyte during oogenesis. While such localization is generally assumed to be important for the pattern-forming activities of these genes, this has been rigorously demonstrated in only a few cases. Here we address the role of mRNA localization for the dorsoventral patterning g...

metal matrix composites have been widely used in industries, especially aerospace industries, due to their excellent engineering properties. however, it is difficult to machine them because of the hardness and abrasive nature of reinforcement elements like silicon carbide particles (sicp).in the present study, an attempt has been made to investigate the influence of spindle speed (n), feed rate...

In the past, keratins have been established as structural proteins. Indeed, mutations in keratin 10 (K10) and other epidermal keratins lead to severe skin fragility syndromes. Here, we present adult K10-/- mice, which reveal a novel connection between the regulation of cell proliferation and K10. Unlike most keratin mutant mice, the epidermis of adult K10-/- mice showed no cytolysis but display...

The members of the large keratin family of cytoskeletal proteins are expressed in a carefully regulated tissue- and differentiation-specific manner. Although these proteins are thought to be involved in imparting mechanical integrity to epithelial cells, the functional significance of their complex differential expression is still unclear. Here we provide new data suggesting that the expression...

Keratins 1 (K1) and 10 (K10) are the predominant cytoskeletal intermediate filaments of epidermal cells during transition from the proliferative to the terminal differentiation stage. In situ, formation of the K1/K10 intermediate filament network occurs in the cytoplasm of cells with a preexisting cytoskeleton composed of keratins 5 and 14. To define cytoskeletal interactions permissive for for...
