As part of the search for a seismic isolator for low-rise buildings, this paper proposes a marble-graphite slide seismic isolation system composed of marble-graphite slides, an upper foundation beam, the lower counterpart of the upper beam, and the corresponding stop blocks, with the stop blocks consisting of restrictive screws, positioning plates,
This paper represents an experimentalattempt to predict the influence of CO2-MAG welding variables on the Christmas shape factors of the weld joint geometry.Theinput variables were welding arc voltage, wire feeding speed and gas flow rate to investigate their effects on the shape factorsof the weld joint geometry in terms of weld joint dimensions (
Abstract Background Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) is an aggressive neuroendocrine cancer with an appalling overall survival of less than 5% (Zimmerman et al.J Thor Oncol 14:768-83, 2019).Patients typically respond to front line platinum-based doublet chemotherapy, but almost universally relapse with drug resistant disease.Elevated MYC expression is
Titanium alloys, despite Stand Mixer their high strength-to-weight ratio, are considered as difficult-to-machine materials.Their poor machinability is attributed, among other reasons, to the accumulation of intense heat near the cutting edge that leads to brisk tool damage.The tool damage, in turn, causes deterioration of work surface quality, cons
