COMPARATIVE STUDY ON THERMAL-OXYGEN AGING AND TRIBOLOGICAL PROPERTIES OF CARBON NANOTUBES AND GRAPHENE SHEET REINFORCED HYDROGENATED NITRILE RUBBER COMPOSITE MATERIALS

Comparative study on thermal-oxygen aging and tribological properties of carbon nanotubes and graphene sheet reinforced hydrogenated nitrile rubber composite materials

A comprehensive and comparative study of the thermal-oxygen aging and tribological properties of antioxidant 6PPD synergized with carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and graphene (GE)-reinforced hydrogenated nitrile rubber (HNBR) composites was performed using molecular simulations and experiments.The results indicated that GE exhibits superior capabilities in

Immunoelectron microscopic evidence for Tetherin/BST2 as the physical bridge between HIV-1 virions and the plasma membrane.

Tetherin/BST2 was identified in 2008 as the cellular factor responsible for restricting HIV-1 replication at a very late stage in the lifecycle.Tetherin acts to retain virion particles on the plasma membrane after budding has been completed.Infected cells that express large amounts of tetherin display large strings of HIV virions that remain attach

The diagnosis of cancer in thyroid fine needle aspiration biopsy. Surgery, repeat biopsy or specimen consultation?

Fine needle aspiration biopsy (FNA) is the only diagnostic method that allows a preoperative diagnosis of thyroid carcinoma.An unequivocal diagnosis of a malignant change is achievable only in cases in which all cytological criteria of carcinoma are met.The aim of the study was to evaluate the necessity of repeat thyroid FNA in patients with papill
