OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS To evaluate the impact of nimodipineon reinnervation of the long-term denervated rat thyroarytenoid (TA) muscle following nerve-muscle pedicle flap (NMP) implantation. STUDY DESIGN Quantitative histologic and physiologic assessments. METHODS Using 120 Wistar rats, we performed NMP implantation at different times after transection of the left recurrent laryngeal nerve (...

A new generation of alloys, which rely on a combination of various strengthening mechanisms, has been developed for application in molten salt nuclear reactors. In the current study, a battery of dispersion and precipitation-strengthened (DPS) NiMo-based alloys containing varying amounts of SiC (0.5-2.5 wt %) were prepared from Ni-Mo-SiC powder mixture via a mechanical alloying (MA) route follo...

The Ni–Mo alloy system is studied. In contrast to the existing Ni–Mo binary phase diagram that shows three stable compounds, b-Ni4Mo, c-Ni3Mo, and d-NiMo, it is determined that d-NiMo is meta-stable at very low temperatures. It is also discovered that two additional compounds, Ni2Mo and Ni8Mo are stable at 0K. 2004 Acta Materialia Inc. Published by Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Introduction: Moderate hypoxia has been implicated in the development of delirium. One mechanism may be an increase of Dopamine (DA) and Serotonin (5-HT) levels. Our previous studies indicated that hypoxia increased levels of both neurotransmitters (NT) and that nimodipine (NIMO) administered immediately after hypoxia preserved short term memory. We tested the hypothesis that these observations...

Nickel and aluminum powders were mechanically alloyed with 10 or 30 vol.% refractory metal powders (molybdenum or tungsten) for times up to 50 h. Intermetallic synthesis takes place after lo-20 h alloying, with concomitant dispersion of the inert refractory metal phase, resulting in an NiAl matrix containing fine refractory dispersoids. The reactive synthesis step is direct, without intermediat...

NiMo catalysts supported on mesoporous MCM-41 type materials shaped with binder were tested for activity in the hydrodesulfurization of 4,6-dimethyldibenzothiophene (4,6-DMDBT) and diesel fuel fraction (0.92 wt% sulfur). The aim investigation was to evaluate effect ion exchange protons Al- or Ti-substituted supports. subjected catalytic systems NiMo/HAlMCM-41 NiMo/HTiMCM-41, comparison purposes...
