Open AccessTheoretical predictions of dynamic necking formability of ductile metallic sheets with evolving plastic anisotropy and tension-compression asymmetry
In this paper, we have investigated necking formability of anisotropic and tension-compression asymmetric metallic sheets subjected to in-plane loading paths ranging from plane strain tension to near equibiaxi...

Open AccessEffect of Strain Rate on the Tensile Mechanical Properties of Electron Beam Welded OFE Copper and High-Purity Niobium for SRF Applications
An investigation of the tensile mechanical properties of electron beam welded OFE copper and high-purity niobium sheets is presented. Specimens were deformed in tension at strain rates ranging from 10−3 to ~ 1600...

Non-adherence to antihypertensive medication is very common among resistant hypertensives: results of a directly observed therapy clinic
Resistant hypertension is common among the hypertensive population with reported prevalence of 12 to 15%. These patients have a higher cardiovascular risk and consequently a poorer cardiovascular prognosis. Su...

Void coalescence in a porous solid under dynamic loading conditions
Void coalescence in ductile voided solids subjected to dynamic loading is investigated numerically. Finite element simulations of an axisymmetric unit cell, taking inertia and finite strain effects into accoun...

Open AccessA direct comparison of CellSearch and ISET for circulating tumour-cell detection in patients with metastatic carcinomas
Circulating tumour cells (CTCs) can provide information on patient prognosis and treatment efficacy. However, there is no universal method to detect CTC currently available. Here, we compared the performance o...

Open AccessLevels of circulating CD45dimCD34+VEGFR2+ progenitor cells correlate with outcome in metastatic renal cell carcinoma patients treated with tyrosine kinase inhibitors
Predicting the efficacy of antiangiogenic therapy would be of clinical value in patients (pts) with metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC). We tested the hypothesis that circulating endothelial cell (CEC), bon...

A micromechanical constitutive model for dynamic damage and fracture of ductile materials
This paper proposes a detailed theoretical analysis of the development of dynamic damage in plate impact experiments for the case of high-purity tantalum. Our micro-mechanical model of damage is based on physi...

Culture Conditions Affect Differently the Translation of Individual Escherichia Coli mRNAs
Individual bacterial mRNAs are translated at very different rates (Ray and Pearson, 1975; McCarthy, et al., 1985). Extensive work during the last decade has revealed that these unequal performances largely ste...
