Tailor welded blanks (TWBs) are produced by joining at least two sheets of dissimilar gauge and/or properties to achieve a lighter blank of desired stiffness and strength. In this way, the properties of the blank may be tailored to meet the design requirements of a panel. As in steel structures, cost and weight can be…

Single crystals of BaAl2Si2 were grown from an Al molten flux and characterized using single-crystal X-ray diffraction at 10 and 90 K and neutron diffraction at room temperature. BaAl2Si2 crystallizes with the alpha-BaCu2S2 structure type (Pnma), is isostructural with alpha-BaAl2Ge2, and is an open 3D framework compou…

The microwave absorption of an ensemble of single-domain nanoparticles of La0.7Sr0.3MnO3 is investigated in the temperature range 5–300K. At low temperatures the resonance spectra demonstrate the appreciable increase in linewidth and downward shift of the resonance field which are typical for superparamagnetic resonan…

The structure and phase composition of Al-Zn, Al-Mg, and Al-Mg-Zn alloys were studied before and after severe plastic deformation of these alloys. The deformation was performed by high pressure torsion with true strain of ∼6. It was established that, as a result of severe plastic deformation, the grains of Al and Zn a…

Abstract Summary: The scaling concepts for isolated flexible macromolecules in good solvent grafted with one chain end to a flat surface (“polymer mushrooms”) as well as for layers of many overlapping end‐grafted chain molecules (“polymer brushes”) are introduced. Monte Carlo attempts to test these concepts are briefl…

The C21-steroidal glycoside auriculoside A (1), recently isolated from the roots of Cynanchum auriculatum, was found to inhibit the growth of several human tumor cell lines and to induce apoptosis in human breast cancer (MCF-7) cells. Compound 1 was evaluated for its in vitro cytotoxicity against MCF-7, HO-8910, and B…

In the field of the metallic alloy development, the main industrial goals are the control of the metallurgical structure and defects. Hydrodynamic movements in the liquid phase have a significant influence on properties of the solidified product. We focus our attention on two major effects influenced by forced convect…

We fabricated magnetic tunnel junctions (MTJs) with a Co-based full-Heusler alloy thin film of Co2MnGe (CMG) and a MgO tunnel barrier. The microfabricated MTJs with a Co-rich CMG film showed relatively high tunnel magnetoresistance ratios of 83% at room temperature and 185% at 4.2K. These values are much higher than t…
