Effect of superalloy substrate composition on the performance of a thermal barrier coating system
An investigation was carried out to determine the performance of a thermal barrier coating system consisting of (ZrO2-8% Y2O3)/(Pt) on two single-crystal Ni-base superalloys. Coating/alloy behavior was studied wi...

Characterization of nine polymorphic microsatellite loci in Chorocaris sp. (Crustacea, Caridea, Alvinocarididae) from deep-sea hydrothermal vents
Species in the genus Chorocaris are caridean shrimp found at deep-sea hydrothermal vents at mid-ocean spreading centers. Nine unlinked polymorphic microsatellite loci were developed for this Chorocaris sp. 2 f...

Material frame representation of equivalent stress tensor for discrete solids
In this paper, we derive expressions for equivalent Cauchy and Piola stress tensors that can be applied to discrete solids and are exact for the case of homogeneous deformation. The main principles used for th...

Reported amount of salt added to food is associated with increased all-cause and cancer-related mortality in older men in a prospective cohort study
The effect of dietary salt intake on important population outcomes such as mortality is controversial. The aim of this study was to examine the association between the dietary habit of adding salt to food and ...
