Laser Sintering of Stainless Steel using Resin Powder

We tried laser sintering of 316L stainless steel powder using resin powder. The laser sintering conditions such as laser power, scan speed and scan pitch with a YAG laser, and the influence of additional resin powder on the density and the tensile properties of the sintered alloy were investigated experimentally. The tensile specimen was laser-sintered with a YAG laser, and then debound and sintered in a vacuum furnace. The tensile specimen was successfully fabricated. The relative density and the tensile strength varied with the additional resin powder, and the optimum weight percentage of additional resin powder was around 4%.The relative density of the sintered alloy was approximately 85%, and the tensile strength and elongation of the sintered alloy were more than 280 MPa and 15% respectively.Mechanical Engineerin

Interparticle Potential up to Next-to-leading Order for Gravitational, Electrical, and Dilatonic Forces

Long-range forces up to next-to-leading order are computed in the framework of the Einstein-Maxwell-dilaton system by means of a semiclassical approach to gravity. As has been recently shown, this approach is effective if one of the masses under consideration is significantly greater than all the energies involved in the system. Further, we obtain the condition for the equilibrium of charged masses in the system.Comment: 19 pages, 19 figures, RevTeX4.1. Revised version, Title change

Stability of the vortex lattice in D-wave superconductors

Use is made of Onsager's hydrodynamic equation to derive the vibration spectrum of the vortex lattice in d-wave superconductor. In particular the rhombic lattice (i.e. the $45^\circ$ tilted square lattice) is found to be stable for $B>H_{cr}(t)$. Here $H_{cr}(t)$ denotes the critical field at which the vortex lattice transition takes place.Comment: 7 pages, Revte

Free Field Approach to the Dilute A_L Models

We construct a free field realization of vertex operators of the dilute A_L models along with the Felder complex. For L=3, we also study an E_8 structure in terms of the deformed Virasoro currents.Comment: (AMS-)LaTeX(2e), 43page

Pathological Studies on an Atomic-Bomb Radiation Case

The cause of the death due to the atomic-bomb radiation is yet unknown definitely and the same can be said of shock brought about by the atomic-bomb. It cannot be said with certainity that infection of pathogenic bacteria concerns in the mortality, for even minor injuries did not often escape bacterial invasion from any part of the whole body. In this case the progress was same to a symptom of agranulocytosis, namely collapse, chill, fever, red throat or ulcerative stomatitis and from the reason of the heavily infected tonsils, although cultures were not made, there are reasons to consider it as agranulocytosis angina. The interpretation of the histologic changes observed in this patient, is rendered difficult not only by the factor of infection, but by the possible influence of one damaged organ upon another. From the histological changes there were the destruction of the epithelium of the gastro-intestinal organs, the atrophy of the testis and the necrosis of the tonsils, but the most noteworthy was the changes in the bone-marrow. The hyperplasia of the reticulum cells, the disappearance of the hematopoetic foci, and the great quantity of mitotic figures in the myeloid cells observecl in this case are found in many of the atomic-bomb victims died approximately one month after the exposure. This is a case of the death caused by aplastic anemia with infective complication or in orther words symptomatic agranulocytosis caused by the atomic-bomb radiation with sepsis.</p
