Optimizing the surface topography of cast iron crankshafts offers the opportunity to use this material as an alternative to steel in high-performance combustion engines.In the past, this was not possible due to the higher wear on bearing shells and the higher friction losses in relation to forged steel whole wheat phyllo dough shafts.In order to fi
Asthma is a complex disorder of inflammation and remodelling largely restricted to the hyfrodol conducting airways.It is a disorder where there are major genetics and environmental factors that interact together to initiate and propagate the disease into a chronic relapsing disorder.Until recently the genetic factors involved in disease pathogenesi
