Residual thermal stresses and strains, developed during cooling of a SiC whisker‐Al 2 O 3
composite, were determined by an experimental neutron diffraction technique and the results …

The propagation of ultrasonic waves in stainless steel weld metal, an anisotropic medium, is
examined. Significant variations in ultrasonic velocity as well as in attenuation have been …

Additions of silver (Ag) have been reported to improve the mechanical properties of high‐temperature
superconductor by YBa 2 Cu 3 O 7−δ (abbreviated YBCO). However, during …

Residual thermal strains in a SiC‐whisker‐reinforced/Al 2 O 3 ‐matrix composite were
measured as functions of temperature and volume fraction of whiskers by means of a neutron …

Objectives The long‐term results of the implantation of glass ionomer cement in the human
mastoid and middle ear were studied. Study Design A prospective study of the survival of …

Objective. The primary goal of this investigation was to examine selected outcomes in
hospice patients who are prescribed one of three sustained-release opioid preparations. The …

Background If no complete remission on chemotherapy is reached in head and neck
rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) in children, adjuvant radiotherapy and/or surgery are indicated. This …

It has been widely postulated that the central mechanism of hepatic reperfusion injury involves
the conversion, during ischemia, of the enzyme xanthine dehydrogenase (XDH) to its free …

Progress in the application of high temperature superconducting ceramic materials to magnetic
bearings and the prospects for higher load devices is reviewed. In particular we present …

This report presents the results of a study to evaluate the adequacy of leak detection systems
in light water reactors. The sources of numerous reported leaks and methods of detection …
