Investigation on Low Stress Scratching Abrasion Resistance Influencing Residual Stress in Nickel Chromium Alloyed Iron [PDF]

Archives of Foundry Engineering
In thermal power plants, advanced wear-resistant alloyed irons have been used for over three decades to enhance the longevity of parts. Ni-hard irons, high chromium irons, and HCHC materials are commonly used in components like liners, bull rig segments,

Selection of an Optimal Abrasion Wheel Type for Nano-Coating Wear Studies under Wet or Dry Abrasion Conditions

Nanomaterials, 2020
Nanocoatings have numerous potential applications in the indoor environment, such as flooring finishes with increased scratch- and wear-resistance. However, given concerns about the potential environmental and human health effects of nanomaterials, it is

The microbiome in human skin aging

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Age‐related skin changes encompass the well‐known visible phenotypic alterations, together with microbiome dysbiosis and a series of molecular aging hallmarks. These hallmarks characterize not only a fully stablished aged phenotype but also the skin aging process itself.

Tribological Properties of 7A04 Aluminum Alloy Enhanced by Ceramic Coating

Lubricants
The 7A04 Al alloy is a commonly used lightweight metal material; however, its low wear resistance limits its application. In this study, the wear resistance of this alloy was improved by preparing micro-arc oxidation (MAO) coatings, MAO/MoS2 composite ...

Golgi enzymes are retrieved from the plasma membrane to the trans‐Golgi network

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Golgi enzymes are traditionally considered resident proteins retained within the Golgi apparatus. Here, we demonstrate that a subset transiently reaches the cell surface and is subsequently retrieved to the trans‐Golgi network via retrograde transport. Using a nanobody‐based toolkit, we uncover a dynamic trafficking cycle of several Golgi enzymes.

From junk to function — How weak selection in eukaryotes builds new parts and drives genomic complexity

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
How do genomes gain new functional parts? In eukaryotes, which tend to evolve under weak selection, much of the genome is junk. Palazzo and Qiu borrow the logic of Markov chains to show how non‐functional DNA becomes functional through the appearance of intermediate states, which arise due to epistasis, buffering, and biochemical messiness, allowing ...

Abrasion-corrosion of cast CoCrMo in simulated hip joint environments

, 2009
Metal-on-metal (MoM) hip joint replacements have been increasingly used for younger and more active patients in recent years due to their improved wear performance compared to conventional metal-on-polymer bearings.

Transcriptional profiling of circulating extracellular vesicles from prebiopsy prostate cancer patients

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
RNA profiling of circulating extracellular vesicles (EVs) from blood samples of men undergoing prostate biopsy identifies transcripts associated with clinically significant prostate cancer. Integrative analysis with public tumor datasets links EV‐derived gene signatures to tumor stage and progression‐free survival, highlighting CASP3, XRCC2, and RIT1 ...
