Cause Analysis and Process Improvement Measures of Primary Forging Cracking for 20 t Flat Ingot of N08120 Nickel-based Corrosion-resistant Alloy by Liu　Yu, Xu　Wenliang

“…When the stress value was higher than the internal bonding strength， cracks would initiate and expand outward during forging process. By reducing the casting speed of shrink head to 30% of that of ingot body， adding the heating agent in advance when the molten steel level reached 2/3 of height of the shrink head， increasing heating agent from 2 kg/t to 2.5 kg/t and adding carbonized rice husk in order to improve the insulation effect， increasing the proportion of hot-feeding ingots in the forging process and strictly prohibiting the stacking of cold ingots into the furnace， the problem of forging cracking was solved.…”

Folate Receptor–Targeted Single-Photon Emission Computed Tomography/Computed Tomography to Detect Activated Macrophages in Atherosclerosis: Can It Distinguish Vulnerable from Stabl... by Leah C.J. Winkel, Harald C. Groen, Bibi S. van Thiel, Cristina Müller, Antonius F.W. van der Steen, Jolanda J. Wentzel, Marion de Jong, Kim Van der Heiden

“…We investigated the feasibility of a folate-based radiopharmaceutical ( 111 In-EC0800) with high-resolution animal single-photon emission computed tomography/computed tomography (SPECT/CT) to differentiate between stable and vulnerable atherosclerotic plaques in apolipoprotein E 7 mice in which we can induce plaques with the characteristics of stable and vulnerable plaques by placing a flow-modifying cast around the common carotid artery. Both plaques showed 111 In-EC0800 uptake, with higher uptake in the vulnerable plaque. …”
