ELUCIDATION OF MECHANISMS FOR STICK SLIP MELT FRACTURE OF POLYMER MELT (EXPERIMENTAL ANALYSIS OF UNSTABLE FLOW OF HIGH DENSITY POLYETHYLENE MELT)

Elucidation of mechanisms for stick slip melt fracture of polymer melt (Experimental analysis of unstable flow of high density polyethylene melt)

During polymer melt Energy Oil extrusion from a circular nozzle, the extrudate at low flow rate shows a stable linear shape with smooth surface but the extrudate at higher flow rate shows unstable shapes with spiral, rosary, or zig-zag structures.This phenomenon is known as melt fracture and hampers high throughput production in polymer processing.

Primary EBV infection induces an expression profile distinct from other viruses but similar to hemophagocytic syndromes.

Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV) causes infectious mononucleosis and establishes lifelong infection associated with cancer and autoimmune disease.To better understand immunity to EBV, we performed a prospective study of natural infection in healthy humans.Transcriptome analysis defined a striking and reproducible expression profile during acute infection b

Europeanised Attitudes, Nationalised Communication? Evidence on the Patterns behind Political Communication Output in Brussels

Studies of a communication deficit in the European Union (EU) have hardly taken a systematic look at the site where most of the political communication output is being created: within the elite bubble of EU politicians and correspondents in Brussels.This study builds on the communication culture approach to describe and explain the basic attitudina

Multi-bioinformatics revealed potential biomarkers and repurposed drugs for gastric adenocarcinoma-related gastric intestinal metaplasia

Abstract Biomarkers associated with the progression from gastric intestinal metaplasia (GIM) to gastric adenocarcinoma (GA), i.e., GA-related GIM, could provide valuable insights into identifying patients with increased risk for GA.The aim of this study was to utilize multi-bioinformatics to reveal potential biomarkers for the GA-related GIM and pr
