Influence of feedstock and thermal spray process on the phase composition of alumina coatings and their sliding wear.
Suspension thermal spraying is an emerging coating technology that enables the deposition of dense-structured ceramic coatings. As wear resistance is a main application field of alumina (Al2O3) coatings, this study aimed to evaluate the dry reciprocating sliding wear resistance of suspension sprayed high velocity oxy-fuel (S-HVOF) alumina coatings and to compare it with atmospheric plasma sprayed (APS) and HVOF coatings. Coatings were analyzed in the as-sprayed state and post-treated at 910 °C (hot isostatically pressed, HIPed) conditions. Wear tests were conducted using a tribometer, following the ASTM G133-02 standard and a sintered WC-6 wt.% Co ball as the counterbody. Coating characterization was done using scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction and nanoindentation technique. Results indicate that the HVOF, HVOF-HIP and S-HVOF coatings had a high α-Al2O3 content, whereas the APS and APS-HIP coatings had a high γ-phase content together with high porosity. Sliding wear resistance was an order of magnitude higher for the S-HVOF and HVOF coatings than the APS and APS-HIPed coatings. This difference in wear performance was attributed to the high nanohardness, elastic modulus, dense microstructure and relatively high α-Al2O3 content in the HVOF, S-HVOF and HVOF-HIP coatings. Results are discussed in terms of the wear mechanism and structure-property relationship
Comparative study of corrosion performance of HVOF-sprayed coatings produced using conventional and suspension WC-Co feedstock.
Corrosion properties of nanostructured coatings deposited by suspension high-velocity oxy-fuel (S-HVOF) via an aqueous suspension of milled WC-Co powder were compared with conventional HVOF-sprayed coatings. Microstructural evaluations of these coatings included x-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy equipped with an energy-dispersive x-ray spectroscopy. The corrosion performance of AISI440C stainless steel substrate and the coatings was evaluated in a 3.5 wt.% NaCl aqueous solution at ~25 °C. The electrochemical properties of the samples were assessed experimentally, employing potentiodynamic polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. The potentiodynamic polarization results indicated that coatings produced by S-HVOF technique show lower corrosion resistance compared with the coatings produced by HVOF-JK (HVOF Jet Kote) and HVOF-JP (HVOF JP5000) techniques. Results are discussed in terms of corrosion mechanism, Bode and Nyquist plots, as well as equivalent circuit models of the coatingâsubstrate system
Volumetry of [11C]-methionine PET uptake and MRI contrast enhancement in patients with recurrent glioblastoma multiforme
We investigated the relationship between three-dimensional volumetric data of the metabolically active tumour volume assessed using [(11)C]-methionine positron emission tomography (MET-PET) and the area of gadolinium-diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid (Gd-DTPA) enhancement assessed using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in patients with recurrent glioblastoma (GBM).MET-PET and contrast-enhanced MRI with Gd-DTPA were performed in 12 uniformly pretreated patients with recurrent GBM. To calculate the volumes in cubic centimetres, a threshold-based volume-of-interest (VOI) analysis of the metabolically active tumour volume (MET uptake indexes of > or = 1.3 and > or = 1.5) and of the area of Gd-DTPA enhancement was performed after coregistration of all images.In all patients, the metabolically active tumour volume as shown using a MET uptake index of > or = 1.3 was larger than the volume of Gd-DTPA enhancement (30.2 + or - 22.4 vs. 13.7 + or - 10.6 cm(3); p = 0.04). Metabolically active tumour volumes as shown using MET uptake indexes of > or =1.3 and > or = 1.5 and the volumes of Gd-DTPA enhancement showed a positive correlation (r = 0.76, p = 0.003, for an index of > or =1.3, and r = 0.74, p = 0.005, for an index of > or =1.5).The present data suggest that in patients with recurrent GBM the metabolically active tumour volume may be substantially underestimated by Gd-DTPA enhancement. The findings support the notion that complementary information derived from MET uptake and Gd-DTPA enhancement may be helpful in developing individualized, patient-tailored therapy strategies in patients with recurrent GBM
Different Modes of Retrovirus Restriction by Human APOBEC3A and APOBEC3G In Vivo
The apolipoprotein B editing complex 3 (A3) cytidine deaminases are among the most highly evolutionarily selected retroviral restriction factors, both in terms of gene copy number and sequence diversity. Primate genomes encode seven A3 genes, and while A3F and 3G are widely recognized as important in the restriction of HIV, the role of the other genes, particularly A3A, is not as clear. Indeed, since human cells can express multiple A3 genes, and because of the lack of an experimentally tractable model, it is difficult to dissect the individual contribution of each gene to virus restriction in vivo. To overcome this problem, we generated human A3A and A3G transgenic mice on a mouse A3 knockout background. Using these mice, we demonstrate that both A3A and A3G restrict infection by murine retroviruses but by different mechanisms: A3G was packaged into virions and caused extensive deamination of the retrovirus genomes while A3A was not packaged and instead restricted infection when expressed in target cells. Additionally, we show that a murine leukemia virus engineered to express HIV Vif overcame the A3G-mediated restriction, thereby creating a novel model for studying the interaction between these proteins. We have thus developed an in vivo system for understanding how human A3 proteins use different modes of restriction, as well as a means for testing therapies that disrupt HIV Vif-A3G interactions.United States.

A global analysis of Y-chromosomal haplotype diversity for 23 STR loci
In a worldwide collaborative effort, 19,630 Y-chromosomes were sampled from 129 different populations in 51 countries. These chromosomes were typed for 23 short-tandem repeat (STR) loci (DYS19, DYS389I, DYS389II, DYS390, DYS391, DYS392, DYS393, DYS385ab, DYS437, DYS438, DYS439, DYS448, DYS456, DYS458, DYS635, GATAH4, DYS481, DYS533, DYS549, DYS570, DYS576, and DYS643) and using the PowerPlex Y23 System (PPY23, Promega Corporation, Madison, WI). Locus-specific allelic spectra of these markers were determined and a consistently high level of allelic diversity was observed. A considerable number of null, duplicate and off-ladder alleles were revealed. Standard single-locus and haplotype-based parameters were calculated and compared between subsets of Y-STR markers established for forensic casework. The PPY23 marker set provides substantially stronger discriminatory power than other available kits but at the same time reveals the same general patterns of population structure as other marker sets. A strong correlation was observed between the number of Y-STRs included in a marker set and some of the forensic parameters under study. Interestingly a weak but consistent trend toward smaller genetic distances resulting from larger numbers of markers became apparent.Peer reviewe

The GRAVITY+ Project: Towards All-sky, Faint-Science, High-Contrast Near-Infrared Interferometry at the VLTI
The GRAVITY instrument has been revolutionary for near-infrared
interferometry by pushing sensitivity and precision to previously unknown
limits. With the upgrade of GRAVITY and the Very Large Telescope Interferometer
(VLTI) in GRAVITY+, these limits will be pushed even further, with vastly
improved sky coverage, as well as faint-science and high-contrast capabilities.
This upgrade includes the implementation of wide-field off-axis
fringe-tracking, new adaptive optics systems on all Unit Telescopes, and laser
guide stars in an upgraded facility. GRAVITY+ will open up the sky to the
measurement of black hole masses across cosmic time in hundreds of active
galactic nuclei, use the faint stars in the Galactic centre to probe General
Relativity, and enable the characterisation of dozens of young exoplanets to
study their formation, bearing the promise of another scientific revolution to
come at the VLTI.Comment: Published in the ESO Messenge
Addressing climate change with behavioral science:A global intervention tournament in 63 countries
Effectively reducing climate change requires marked, global behavior change. However, it is unclear which strategies are most likely to motivate people to change their climate beliefs and behaviors. Here, we tested 11 expert-crowdsourced interventions on four climate mitigation outcomes: beliefs, policy support, information sharing intention, and an effortful tree-planting behavioral task. Across 59,440 participants from 63 countries, the interventions' effectiveness was small, largely limited to nonclimate skeptics, and differed across outcomes: Beliefs were strengthened mostly by decreasing psychological distance (by 2.3%), policy support by writing a letter to a future-generation member (2.6%), information sharing by negative emotion induction (12.1%), and no intervention increased the more effortful behavior-several interventions even reduced tree planting. Last, the effects of each intervention differed depending on people's initial climate beliefs. These findings suggest that the impact of behavioral climate interventions varies across audiences and target behaviors.</p
