Part II.: Dissimilar friction stir welding of nickel titanium shape memory alloy to stainless steel – microstructure, mechanical and corrosion behavior by Parker West (17268946)

“…<p dir="ltr">In the present work, nickel-titanium (NiTi) shape memory alloys (SMAs) is joined to 304 stainless steel (SS) using friction stir welding (FSW) using process parameters of 400 rpm and a constant tool translation speed of 75 mm/min. The macrostructure of the dissimilar weld showed some surface tunneling defects but there were regions of the weld that were defect free and without evidence of intermetallics at the interface. …”

Economic Allocation of Reliability Growth Testing Using Weibull Distributions by Awad, Mahmoud

“…The traditional common and practiced approach of RGT is to assess the initial reliability of the system by building and testing few prototypes for a period of time that extends from few months to years. Then, based on the initial reliability, initial testing time, and reliability target; the total testing time is determined using power law based models such as Duane and AMSAA/Crow models. …”

Prostaglandin E2 stimulates p53 transactivational activity through specific serine 15 phosphorylation in human synovial fibroblasts ROLE IN SUPPRESSION OF c/EBP/NF-κB-MEDIATED MEKK... by Faour, Wissam

“…We examined the regulation of the tumor suppressor gene p53 and p53 target genes by prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) in human synovial fibroblasts (HSF). PGE2 induced a time-dependent increase in p53 Ser15 phosphorylation, with no discernible change in overall p53 levels. …”
