Effect of inhibitor addition on the corrosion behavior of a grain boundary relaxed electrodeposited nanocrystalline Ni–P alloy
Corrosion behavior of grain boundary relaxed electrodeposited nanocrystalline Ni–P was studied in HCl media with and without the addition of inhibitor Glycine. The Ni-0.5P alloy bears a grain size of 12 nm whi...

Evaluating the Suitability of Glass Optical Fiber as a Toughening Agent in Silicon Composites Developed by Spark Plasma Sintering
This study explores the repurposing of waste glass optical fibers (SiO2 fibers) by using them as toughening agents for silicon. The poor fracture toughness of silicon has precluded its development as a structural...

Compaction and Pressureless Sintering Characteristics of Silicon and a Silicon Composite Containing a Multicomponent Molybdenum Alloy Reinforcement
The compaction and sintering characteristics of silicon and a silicon composite containing a multi-component Molybdenum alloy (Mo44Si26Ta5Zr5Fe3Co12Y5) as reinforcement is reported here. Compaction with different...

Boron Deteriorates the Thermal Stability of Nanostructured Silicon
Guided by Darling et al. model for nanostructure stability, Boron was chosen for stabilizing nanostructured silicon. The Si-4 at.% B alloy was synthesized by high energy ball milling of Si and B powders for a ...

On the Corrosion Behavior of Selective Laser-Melted Ti-6Al-4V Alloys: Role of Mesostructures, Crystallographic Texture, and Phase Fractions
The effect of microstructure on the corrosion behavior of selectively laser-melted Ti6Al4V alloys was investigated. Four different combinations of coupons were produced by varying the powder bed layer thickness,

Hardness and Indentation Fracture Toughness in a Novel Silicon Composite Synthesized by Spark Plasma Sintering
A composite of 90 wt pct silicon and 10 wt pct of the multi-component Mo44Si26Ta5Zr5Fe3Co12Y5 was synthesized using spark plasma sintering at a temperature of 1423 K and applied pressure of 75 MPa. The relative d...

Understanding creep in nanocrystalline materials
Only a limited number of creep investigations have been carried out on nanocrystalline materials to-date. These studies have remained largely inconclusive in establishing the mechanisms of creep in nanocrystal...

Newtonian viscous creep in metals
All materials exhibit Newtonian viscous creep behavior at low stresses and high temperatures. We review here such creep behaviors in metals comprising of pure metals and alloys. The underlying creep mechanism(...

Differential sensitivity of naïve and subsets of memory CD4+ and CD8+ T cells to hydrogen peroxide-induced apoptosis
CD4+ and CD8+ memory T cells are identified into central and effector memory subsets, which are characterized by distinct homing patterns and functions. In this investigation, we show that naïve and central me...

Role of NF-κB signaling pathway in increased tumor necrosis factor-α-induced apoptosis of lymphocytes in aged humans
In human aging, lymphocytes display increased sensitivity to tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α)-induced apoptosis. TNF-α induces both survival and apoptotic signals. The survival signal is mediated by the activation...

Increased spontaneous, tumor necrosis factor receptor- and CD95 (Fas)-mediated apoptosis in cord blood T-cell subsets from Turner's syndrome
Increased spontaneous as well as TNF-α-induced and CD95-mediated apoptosis were observed in CD4+ and CD8+ T cells from the cord blood of a patient with Turner's syndrome as compared to normal cord blood. Increase...

Biochemical and molecular basis of thimerosal-induced apoptosis in T cells: a major role of mitochondrial pathway
The major source of thimerosal (ethyl mercury thiosalicylate) exposure is childhood vaccines. It is believed that the children are exposed to significant accumulative dosage of thimerosal during the first 2 ye...

P-glycoprotein (encoded by multidrug resistance genes) is not required for interleukin-2 secretion in mice and humans
P-glycoprotein (encoded by multidrug resistance genes), a member of the ATP-binding cassette transporter protein superfamily, has been shown to play a role in the secretion of cytokines. This conclusion was ba...

TNF-α-induced apoptosis in neonatal lymphocytes: TNFRp55 expression and downstream pathways of apoptosis
Previously we have shown decreased Fas-mediated apoptosis in cord blood lymphocyte subsets. In this study, we compared tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α-induced apoptosis in T lymphocytes and their subsets between...
