Effect of Casting Conditions on the Fracture Strength of Al-5 Mg Alloy Castings by Fawzia Hamed Basuny, Mootaz Ghazy, Abdel-Razik Y. Kandeil, Mahmoud Ahmed El-Sayed

“…In this work, the Weibull moduli for the ultimate tensile strength (UTS) and % elongation of sand cast bars produced under different casting conditions were compared as indicators of casting reliability which was expected to be a function of the oxide film content. The results showed that the use of a thin runner along with the use of filters can significantly eliminate the surface turbulence of the melt during mould filling which would lead to the avoidance of the generation and entrainment of surface oxide films and in turn produce castings with more reliable and reproducible mechanical properties compared to the castings produced using conventional running systems.…”

Evaluating impacts of the trichloroethylene metabolite S-(1,2-dichlorovyinyl)-L-cysteine on transcriptomic responses and cytokine release in a macrophage model: implications for pr... by Annella Benjamin, Erica Boldenow, Sammy Jaber, Kelly Bakulski, John Dou, Justin Colacino, Peter Mancuso, Sean Harris

“…We then conducted benchmark dose modeling and compared benchmark doses for DCVC cytotoxicity vs. cytokine suppression and determined that inhibition of cytokine release was the more potent endpoint compared to cytotoxicity. Finally, we analyzed a previously generated transcriptomic dataset from THP-1 cells stimulated with LPS, with or without DCVC treatment. …”
