304 stainless steels (SS) were considered as the materials for a dry storage canister. In this study, ER (Electrode Rod) 308L was utilized as the filler metal for the groove and overlay welds of a 304L stainless steel substrate, which was prepared via a gas tungsten arc-welding process in multiple passes. The electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) map was used to identify the inherent microstr...

Small cell carcinoma (SCC) is a malignant epithelial tumor that predominantly arises in the lungs. Primary SCC of the parotid gland is rare and difficult to diagnose by analysis of frozen sections obtained during surgery. Due to the aggressive nature of SCC and the frequent occurrence of distant metastases, identification of the disease is important. The current study reports the case of a male...

The reactivity of the murine immunoglobulin monoclonal antibody LAM8 directed against a membrane antigen of human small cell carcinoma (SCC) of the lung was investigated on human cell lines and tissues. Indirect immunofluorescence staining, radioimmunoassays, and cytotoxicity assays showed LAM8 antibody to selectively react with SCC but not with non-SCC lung cancer cell lines and extrapulmonary...

In this study, the effects of partial immersion sulphate attack on ultimate load capacity reinforced self-compacting concrete (SCC) columns and resistance improvement using silica fume, steel fibres, combination fume fibres were assessed. Twelve short circular (0.150 m in diameter 0.7 long) cast divided into groups according to (1) three acid-attack groups. The first group was tested without an...

To facilitate the development of autologous transplantation techniques with which to test the ability of Schwann cell (ScC) implantations to treat nervous system injury, we have developed a method for procuring large, essentially pure populations of ScCs from adult peripheral nerve. By allowing small explants of peripheral nerve trunk to undergo axonal and myelin breakdown in vitro, rather than...

A total of 1947 farms from the Pomerania and Kujawy regions were analysed for the effect of type of pen (with or without litter) on the cytological quality of milk, taking into account the season of the year in the statistical calculations. It was found that in most barns, cows were kept in shallow litter stalls. Regardless of the season of the year, milk of the highest cytological quality was ...

Asbestos-related lung cancer accounts for 4-12% of lung cancers worldwide. We have previously identified ADAM28 as a putative oncogene involved in asbestos-related lung adenocarcinoma (ARLC-AC). We hypothesised that similarly gene expression profiling of asbestos-related lung squamous cell carcinomas (ARLC-SCC) may identify candidate oncogenes for ARLC-SCC. We undertook a microarray gene expres...

background: squamous cell carcinoma (scc) is the most common malignancy in oral cavity. angiogenesis is essential for the development and progression of scc. recently, some studies have reported that mast cells may play a role in tumor progression via promoting angiognesis. since the results of various studies on the role of mast cells in tumor progression is not uniform, the aim of this study ...

The paper discusses the determination of the social cost of carbon (SCC) using the PAGE2002 model used in the Stern Review. The SCC depends sensitively on assumptions about future economic development, the range and likelihood of economic and social damage arising from climate change at future dates and the discount rate to apply to that damage. The paper critically examines the choice of pure ...

Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) and squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) are the most frequent skin cancers. The etiology of these tumors is multifactorial: Environmental and exogenous factors, genotype and phenotype factors. The development of malignant neoplasms at sites of previous dermal scars is an uncommon but well recognized phenomenon, and since almost all of them were developed on exposed areas it...
