it to 680•Ž in flowing nitrogen (PV-7). Four samples having different pre-heat-treatment conditions were selected; the original coke PV-7 , the second one prepared from PV-7 by the heat treatment at 1500•Ž for 60 min (PV-15) , the third also from PV-7 by the treatment at 2060•Ž for 60 min (PV-7-20) , and the fourth by the heat treatment of PV-15 at 2060•Ž for 60 min (PV-15-20). Each sample was ...

Abstract– In the present paper, the effect of heat treatment on the surface roughness of AISI 4140 steel has been investigated by use of paired t-test and one way analysis of variance (ANOVA). The paired t-test was performed to determine the differences between the means before and after heat treatment. One way ANOVA was used to further evaluate the effect of heat treatment on the difference in...

in the present study, mechanical properties and low cycle fatigue behavior of a solid-solutionized aa6061 aluminum alloy produced by equal channel angular pressing (ecap) process were investigated. the grain refinement after two passes of ecap significantly increased the yield stress and ultimate tensile stress and decreased the ductility of the alloy. however, the improvement of low cycle fati...

Nrf2 pathway has been known to be protective against cancer progression however recent studies have revealed that the antioxidant activity of Nrf2 contributes to chemotherapy resistance. For many years, hyperthermia has been used as an additional therapy to increase the efficiency of chemotherapy and radiotherapy. Besides the positive effects of hyperthermia during treatment procedure, thermoto...

Synthesis of a family of proteins called "heat shock" proteins is induced or enhanced in cells in response to various environmental stresses, suggesting that these proteins may perform functions essential to cell survival. Because a brief, nonlethal heat treatment can dramatically induce a transient resistance to a subsequent lethal heat treatment (thermotolerance), we examined the effect of he...

Multimodal oncological strategies which combine chemotherapy or radiotherapy with hyperthermia, have a potential of improving the efficacy of the non-surgical methods of cancer treatment. Hyperthermia engages the heat-shock response (HSR) mechanism, the main component of which are heat-shock proteins. Cancer cells have already partially activated HSR, thereby hyperthermia may be more toxic to t...

Effects of heat treatment, with and without an external magnetic field, on the magnetic properties of Fe81B15Si4 amorphous specimens are investigated by Lorentz microscopy and electron holography. These observations are used to clarify the details of magnetizing processes in the specimens. It is found that heat-treatment with an external magnetic field increases the magnetic anisotropy, while t...

This study examines the effect of heat treatment at three different temperatures of 800 ̊C, 950 ̊C and 1100 ̊C on the microstructure and mechanical properties of low-alloy steel with an addition of manganese, chrome and lead. To determine an impact of the applied heat treatment operations, testing of mechanical properties and microstructural examinations of the steel with 0.23%, 0.24%, 0.29% and 0...

CD34 is a transmembrane phosphoglycoprotein used to selectively enrich bone marrow in hematopoietic stem cells for transplantation. Treating rats with CD34+ cells derived from human umbilical cord blood before or after heat stroke has been shown to promote survival. We investigated whether CD34- human placenta-derived stem cells (PDMSCs) could improve survival following heat stroke in rats. Rat...

In previous studies, the heat shock response, induced by hyperthermia or sodium arsenite, increased interleukin (IL)-6 production in intestinal mucosa and cultured human enterocytes. A novel way to induce the heat shock response, documented in other cell types, is treatment with proteasome inhibitors. It is not known if proteasome inhibition induces heat shock in enterocytes or influences IL-6 ...
