We tested the hypothesis that single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) within genes of the NF-κB pathway are associated with altered clinical outcome of septic shock patients. We genotyped 59 SNPs in the NF-κB pathway in a discovery cohort of septic…

During a 10-year period, 678 patients were seen at an occupational dermatitis clinic attached to a District General Hospital. Of these, 424 were accepted as having an occupational dermatosis. The pattern of skin lesions and the patch test findings…

A microgap has been described at the level of the implant-abutment connection. This microgap can be colonized by bacteria, and this fact could have relevance on the remodeling of the peri-implant crestal bone and on the long-term health of the…

Magnetostrain is achieved by twin boundary motion in magnetic shape memory materials. A 1% strain could be achieved in textured polycrystals of Ni-Mn-Ga at room temperature. Ni50Mn29Ga21 was directionally solidified in order to obtain a texture…

In this letter, we report the fatigue-property enhancement by a thin layer of glass-forming film. The fatigue life of a 316L stainless steel is considerably improved by at least 30 times, depending on the maximum applied stress when it is coated…

A 20-year follow-up of a population sample of men aged 25-34 has been completed in Staveley, Derbyshire. The sample was based on a private census, with brief industrial histories, that enabled four groups to be established-"non-dusty," "pure…

A survey carried out in 1957 by the Medical Research Council's Pneumoconiosis Unit was based on a private census, with brief industrial histories of men aged 55-64 and 25-34. Four groups were established in this way-"non-dusty," "pure coal-mining,"…

OBJECTIVE: To identify independent risk factors for myocardial infarction (MI) in Chinese men and to develop a model to predict risk profile of an individual suffering MI. METHODS: Study sample included 5 137 men aged 45.2 7.8 years who came from a…

A three-dimensional Hough transform is designed for the detection of conic curves (hyperbolae and ellipses) formed by the gnomonic projection of diffraction Kossel cones. This new procedure is applied to a high-angular-accuracy analysis of electron…

Synchrotron X-ray microtomography has been utilized for the in situ observation of fatigue crack opening/closure during load cycles. High-resolution phase contrast imaging technique has enabled the reconstruction of clear crack images together with…

Encouraging students to share and compare solution methods is a key component of reform efforts in mathematics, and comparison is emerging as a fundamental learning mechanism. To experimentally evaluate the effects of comparison for mathematics…

Short fatigue cracks propagate with a fluctuating crack growth rate while interacting with microstructural barriers. Although some models of the interaction exist, it is not clear what determines the strength of the resistance of a grain boundary to…

In the paper the results of a wide range of experiments on friction stir welding (FSW) of aluminium alloys are reported. In particular, the AA6082-T6 butt joints fatigue resistance was investigated by varying the most relevant process parameters. In…

Field and laboratory investigations were undertaken of the environment surrounding abandoned U mill tailings at Rayrock, Northwest Territories, Canada, to examine the extent of 226Ra and U contamination. Samples of ground water, surface water, and…

Applying a transparent tool technique the tool/workpiece interface in plane strip drawing of aluminium is studied. The strips are provided with macroscopic lubricant pockets, and the compression and eventual escape of trapped lubricant by the…

This paper presents a single-domain boundary element method (BEM) analysis of fracture mechanics in 2D anisotropic piezoelectric solids. In this analysis, the extended displacement (elastic displacement and electrical potential) and extended…
