Changes in Roughness and Microhardness of ShKh15 Steel after Pulsed Plasma Flow Treatment
Modern industry requires that the surface layers of bearing components made of ShKh15 steel be modified to increase their service life. This effect is obtained by enhancing the microhardness. Currently, the pu...

Effect of Pulsed Plasma Flow Treatment Parameters on the Thickness, Microhardness, and Elemental and Phase Compositions of Modified Surface Layers of Structural Steel
Pulsed plasma flow treatment of materials has been insufficiently studied, which makes it impossible to estimate the main parameters of the modified layer. Thus, the treatment mode is selected experimentally f...

Influence of Pretreatment on Kinetics at Carbon Electrodes and Consequences for Flow Battery Performance
Using cyclic voltammetry (CV) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), it was shown for four different types of carbon that electrode treatments at negative potentials enhance the kinetics of VIV-VV and ...

Genetic parameters and genetic gains across three breeding cycles for growth and form traits of Eucalyptus regnans in New Zealand
Eucalyptus regnans has been planted mainly for short-fibre pulp in New Zealand, but it also has potential for veneer and solid-wood products. A breeding programme is now in its third cycl...

Evaluation of hot-wire spatial filtering corrections for wall turbulence and correction for end-conduction effects
Several recent spatial filtering corrections for Reynolds stress measured by single component hot-wire probes were assessed using turbulent channel flow data measured over a moderate Reynolds number range. Us...

The Use of the Surface Impedance Concept in the Theory of Electromagnetic Surface Waves
Certain general problems in the theory of electromagnetic surface waves related to the impedance description of the guiding properties of interfaces are reviewed here. It is assumed that, in general, the surfa...

Focal amplification and oncogene dependency of GAB2 in breast cancer
DNA amplifications in breast cancer are frequent on chromosome 11q, in which multiple driver oncogenes likely reside in addition to cyclin D1 (CCND1). One such candidate, the scaffolding adapter protein, GRB2-ass...

New cutpoints to identify increased HER2 copy number: analysis of a large, population-based cohort with long-term follow-up
Background HER2 gene amplification and/or protein overexpression in breast cancer is associated with a poor prognosis and predicts response to anti-HER2 therapy. We examine the natural hi...

Effects of Treatment of Ovariectomized Adult Rhesus Monkeys with Parathyroid Hormone 1-84 for 16 Months on Trabecular and Cortical Bone Structure and Biomechanical Properties of the Proximal Femur
Treatment of monkeys and humans with parathyroid hormone (PTH) 1-84 stimulates skeletal remodeling, which increases trabecular (Tb) bone mineral density (BMD) but decreases cortical (Ct) BMD at locations where...

Daily Treatment of Aged Ovariectomized Rats with Human Parathyroid Hormone (1-84) for 12 Months Reverses Bone Loss and Enhances Trabecular and Cortical Bone Strength
Most studies that have investigated the anabolic effects of parathyroid hormone (1-84) (PTH) or PTH fragments on the skeleton of ovariectomized (OVX) rats have evaluated the short-term effects of high-dose PTH...

Caspase 8L, a novel inhibitory isoform of caspase 8, is associated with undifferentiated neuroblastoma
Caspase 8 is a key apoptotic factor in the receptor/ligand apoptosis-signaling cascade. Absent caspase 8 expression is shown to correlate with poor prognosis in neuroblastoma. Paradoxically, the caspase 8 gene...
