The effect of main alloying elements on the physical properties of Al–Si foundry alloys

“…In case of pistons, e.g., the heat generated in the course of the compression process has to be removed as quickly as possible to avoid thermal stresses and hot spots on the surface, whereas low thermal expansion prevents the piston from becoming tight and seizing under operation temperature. TC as well as the coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) can therefore play a major role in determining the life time of certain motor components [7].…”

Anti-myeloma activity and molecular logic operation by Natural Killer cells in microfluidic droplets

“…NK92 cells have been shown to recognize and kill multiple target cells in preclinical models and have yielded promising results in phase I clinical trials against solid tumors (renal cell and lung cancer) and hematological malignancies [35,36]. NK-92 cells efficiently killed bulk and clonogenic MM cells [37].…”

From the Parlor to the Barnyard: Obama and Holder on Race

“…Because of these implications, Tonn argues, a conversational model of discourse applied to public deliberation often serves to silence the disempowered while providing a cathartic substitute for structural changes toward justice. 52 These drawbacks of the dialogic approach to public discourse make applying this approach to public deliberation of racial issues particularly pernicious, and call attention to the need to rhetorically negotiate the public and private dimensions of race. Questioning the adequacy of dialogue as a ''strategy for dealing with the material realities of race,'' McPhail importantly notes the difference between dialogue among individuals acting as individuals and dialogue as a process undertaken at the level of the collectivity.…”
