The present study investigates the effect of stress triaxiality on mechanical behavior and fracture of Ti-5Al-2.5Sn alloy in a practical relevant strain rate range from 0.1 to 1000 s−1.Tensile tests were carried out on flat smoothed and notched specimens using an Instron VHS 40/50-20 servo-hydraulic test machine.High-speed video registration
Background: Obesity is a global epidemic.Laparoscopic greater curvature plication [LGCP] is a restrictive surgical procedure described for the first time on 1981 by Wilkinson.Fundectomy is a selective resection of the acid-producing segment of the stomach, with removal of peptide hormone-producing cells [the oxyntic mucosa] as a consequence of the
Bone-metastatic prostate cancer symbolizes the beginning of the later stages of the disease.We designed a cabazitaxel-loaded, poly (lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) nanoparticle using an emulsion-diffusion-evaporation technique.Bis (sulfosuccinimidyl) suberate (BS3) was non-covalently inserted into the nanoparticle as a linker for the conjugation of
Amorphous solid dispersions (ASDs) enable formulations to improve the solubility of poorly soluble active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs).The amorphous state is reached through the disruption of the crystalline lattice of an API resulting in an increased apparent solubility with faster disintegration.Nevertheless, this form is characterized by a
Abstract Invasive populations often experience founder effects: a loss of genetic diversity relative to the source population, due to a small number of founders.Even where these founder effects do not impact colonization success, Puzzles theory predicts they might affect the rate at which invasive populations expand.This is because secondary founde
