High-cycle fatigue (HCF) behaviors of medium-carbon bainitic steels with various inclusion sizes and microstructural features were studied using the rotating–bending test. Here, different melting processes treated by three heat treatment routes incorporating bainite formation, namely bainite-based quenching plus partitioning (BQ&P), austempering (BAT) “disturbed austempering, DBAT”. The int...

A cladistic analysis of the medicinal plant Taxus, using the sequences of one chloroplast (trnS-trnQ spacer) and three nuclear taxadiene synthase (TS), 10-deacetylbaccatin III-10beta-O-acetyltransferase (DBAT), and 18S rDNA) molecular markers, was carried out by distance, parsimony, likelihood, and Bayesian methods. Three of the four New World species (T. brevifolia, T. floridana and T. globosa...

Taxus cell suspension culture is a sustainable technology for the industrial production of paclitaxel (Taxol®), a highly modified diterpene anti-cancer agent. The methyl jasmonate (MJ)-mediated paclitaxel biosynthetic pathway is not fully characterized, making metabolic engineering efforts difficult. Here, promoters of seven genes (TASY, T5αH, DBAT, DBBT, PAM, BAPT, and DBTNBT), encoding enzyme...

In predicting rolling noise froma railway wheelset, some assumptionsare usually required to make the calculations less complicated and more efficient.In this study, effects of modelling assumptions on prediction ofsound power radiated from a high-speed train wheelset are investigated by using finite element boundary methods.Use is made axi-symmetry allow solution be obtained in terms Fourier se...
