Optimal location of brake pad for reduction of temperature deviation on brake disc during high-energy braking
During the braking process, frictional heat generated between a disc and a pad can lead to high temperatures. The location of friction blocks on the brake pad can lead directly to differences in friction conta...

The thermo-mechanical behavior of brake discs for high-speed railway vehicles
The structure of a brake disc is coupled to the axle and rotates together with the wheel. A brake disc is a friction-type device that presses the pad on both sides of the disc. As more of its surface area beco...

Targeted ablation of the histidine-rich Ca2+-binding protein (HRC) gene is associated with abnormal SR Ca2+-cycling and severe pathology under pressure-overload stress
The histidine-rich Ca2+-binding protein (HRC) is located in the lumen of the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) and exhibits high-capacity Ca2+-binding properties. Overexpression of HRC in the heart resulted in impaired...
