ENHANCEMENT OF WEAR AND BALLISTIC RESISTANCE OF ARMOUR GRADE AA7075 ALUMINIUM ALLOY USING FRICTION STIR PROCESSING

Enhancement of wear and ballistic resistance of armour grade AA7075 aluminium alloy using friction stir processing

Industrial applications of aluminium and its alloys are restricted because of their poor tribological properties.Thermal spraying, laser surfacing, electron beam welding are the most widely used techniques to alter the surface morphology of base metal.Preliminary studies reveal that the coating and layering of aluminium alloys with ceramic particle

Measurement of human lipogenesis using deuterium incorporation.

In order to determine human triglyceride fatty acid (TG-FA) synthesis rates, the incorporation of deuterium from the plasma water pool in vivo into TG-FA was measured over 48 h in six healthy males under steady state conditions.Subjects consumed a nutritionally complete liquid diet as six evenly spaced small meals per day for 3 days and drank 0.7 g

Positron emission tomography and its role in the assessment of vulnerable plaques in comparison to other imaging modalities

The diagnosis and management of vulnerable plaques are topics of high interest in the cardiovascular field.Although imaging techniques like computed tomography angiography (MCTA) and ultrasonography (USG) can structurally evaluate atherosclerotic plaques, they are limited in examining internal cellular processes.Positron emission tomography (PET) m
