EFFECT OF FRICTION STIR WELDING PARAMETERS ON THE MECHANICAL AND MICROSTRUCTURE PROPERTIES OF THE AL-CU BUTT JOINT

Effect of Friction Stir Welding Parameters on the Mechanical and Microstructure Properties of the Al-Cu Butt Joint

Friction Stir Welding (FSW) is a solid-state welding process used for welding similar and dissimilar materials.FSW is especially suitable to join sheet Al alloys, and this technique allows different material couples to be welded continuously.In this study, 1050 Al alloys and commercially pure Cu were produced at three different tool rotation speeds

MRI appearance of chronic subdural hematoma

ObjectiveWe aimed to describe the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) characteristics of chronic subdural hematoma (cSDH) and to ascribe MRI patterns.MethodsA total of 20 patients having 27 subdural hematomas underwent contrast-enhanced (CE) MRI of the brain at our institution between April 2019 and May 2021.The images were independently evaluated by

Quantitative genetic variation of metabolism in the nymphs of the sand cricket, Gryllus firmus, inferred from an analysis of inbred-lines

Compared with morphological and life history traits, quantitative genetic variation of metabolic and related traits in animals has been poorly studied.We used flow-through VC0(2) respirometry and simultaneous activity measurement on nymphs of the neflintw-r6mpw sand cricket {Gryllus firmus) from inbred lines to estimate broad-sense heritability of
