This study evaluated the mechanical strength correlated to percentage of total volume weld and porosities Co-Cr alloy joints welded with TIG technique. Thirty specimens were perpendicularly sectioned long-axis rejoined by using X30-shaped joint design welding. They divided into 3 groups (n=10): CG1 a 60-A depth 90-ms pulse; CG2 120-ms pulse CG3 160-ms pulse. The submitted nondestructive tests: ...

We report the serendipitous discovery of several unresolved X-ray sources lying in the prominent spiral arms of the galaxy KUG 0214-057 in XMM-Newton observations. The location of these X-ray sources strongly suggests that at least three, and possibly four, of these may be physically related to the galaxy. The luminosity of each of these sources at the distance of KUG 0214-057 is > 5 × 10 39 er...

We compute all irregular primes less than 163 577 856. For all of these primes we verify that the Kummer–Vandiver conjecture holds and that the λ-invariant is equal to the index of irregularity.

Endometriosis is associated with pelvic pain and infertility, which affects approximately 10% of women of reproductive age. In recent years, Curcuma xanthorrhiza (CG) has been administered by some clinical practitioners to treat endometriosis and get satisfactory curative effects. The present study was then designed to investigate the effects of CG on the model rats with endometriosis. Forty fe...

Asymmetric cell division is a mechanism for achieving cellular diversity. In C. elegans, many asymmetric cell divisions are controlled by the Wnt-MAPK pathway through POP-1/TCF. It is poorly understood, however, how POP-1 determines the specific fates of daughter cells. We found that nob-1/Hox, ceh-20/Pbx, and a Meis-related gene, psa-3, are required for asymmetric division of the T hypodermal ...
