Simulation of Pipe-Manufacturing Processes Using Sheet Bending-Flattening
In this study, a suitable method to simulate pipe-manufacturing processes (i.e., bending, unbending, and flattening) was developed to reproduce the process and the mechanical properties of the pipe. To verify ...

Consolidation of Cu-based amorphous alloy powders by high-pressure torsion
We applied high-pressure torsion (HPT) for consolidation of gas-atomized metallic glass Cu54Zr22Ti18Ni6 powders into high-density bulk disks. The effects of the number of revolutions (N = 1–5 turns), applied pres...

Amorphous phase formation in Al80Fe10M10 (M = Ni, Ti, and V) ternary systems by mechanical alloying
In this study, the amorphous phase formation in Al80Fe10M10 (M = Ti, V, Ni) (at.%) ternary systems during mechanical alloying has been investigated. The milled samples were characterized using X-ray diffraction a...

Human p16γ, a novel transcriptional variant of p16INK4A, coexpresses with p16INK4A in cancer cells and inhibits cell-cycle progression
The INK4A locus encodes two tumor suppressor genes, p16INK4A and p14ARF, transcribed using alternative exons 1α or 1β spliced onto the same exons 2 and 3. Both p16INK4A and p14ARF are capable of inhibiting the ce...

The Use of High-Resolution Computed Tomography in the Evaluation of Pulmonary Hemodynamics in Patients with Congenital Heart Disease: In Pulmonary Vessels Larger Than 1 mm in Diameter
High-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) was carried out in 36 patients with congenital left-to-right shunt disease and 10 normal control subjects to assess the feasibility of CT in the evaluation of pulmon...
