Improvements in machinability by alloying of the workpiece often adversely impact the end user properties of a material. For example, the common use of non-metallic inclusions can lead to improved tool life during turning or milling, but often adversely affects weldability, corrosion, and wear resistance. A cutting tool material meets kilometers of workpiece material during a machining operation.

Although climate change is expected to drive tree species toward colder and wetter regions of their distribution, broadscale empirical evidence is lacking. One possibility is that past and present human activities in forests obscure or alter the effects of climate. Here, using data from more than two million monitored trees from 73 widely distributed species, we quantify changes in tree species de

The article argues that understanding when and how emotions matter in times of crisis requires simultaneous contextualisation through setting out three different approaches to the political psychology of emotions in EU foreign policy in times of ontological (in)security and crisis. Firstly, through a longitudinal survey of emotional anxieties and fears in the EU from the 1990s to the 2020s drawing

The Ezrin/Radixin/Moesin (ERM) family of proteins act as cross-linkers between the plasma membrane and the actin cytoskeleton. This mechanism plays an essential role in processes related to membrane remodeling and organization, such as cell polarization, morphogenesis and adhesion, as well as in membrane protein trafficking and signaling pathways. For several human aquaporin (AQP) isoforms, an int

Objective: To study the efficacy of psoralen with ultraviolet A photochemotherapy (PUVA) and narrowband ultraviolet B phototherapy (NBUVB), for early-stage mycosis fungoides (MF) in Thais. Materials and Methods: A retrospective medical chart review of 50 cases was performed. Demographic data, type of phototherapy, duration of treatments, clinical response, relapse, and adverse effects were analyze

The purpose of this study was to evaluate effects of vitamin C on both liver and spleen morphology and histology after vitamin C consumption in Plasmodium-infected mice. Plasmodium yoelii 17X (lethal) strain was murine malaria we generated and ICR mice were used as a model. Mice were randomly divided into 3 groups; normal control (C), parasite infection only (P-only) and vitamin C consumption afte

Pemphigus vegetans is a rare variant of deep acantholytic pemphigus which usually presents with vesiculobullous rash and vegetative plaques on the folds. We report a case of pemphigus vegetans patient who presented with rashes on tips of fingers and toes resembling paronychia and onychomadesis that misled the diagnosis for months. The final diagnosis of Hallopeau-type pemphigus vegetans was made b

Numerous herbs have been used successfully in treating dermatologic disorders for thousands years and still widely used because it is easy to find, cheap and to avoid the side effects and complications of topical steroids. Terminalia chebula, commonly found in India and Southeast Asia, is thought to be effective for treating several diseases including inflammation and reported as an anti-oxidant.

Background: There was a global epidemic of methylchloroisothiazolinone (MCI) and/or methylisothiazolinone (MI) contact allergy from 2009 to 2015. In response, the Thai Ministry of Public Health regulated the use of MCI/MI in cosmetics. Objective: To survey the presence of MCI/MI and MI alone, as labelled on cosmetics sold on the Thai market, before and after the ministerial directive. Methods: The

Background: Elderly people tend to be sicker than young people. They also take more medications, increasing the risk of adverse drug reactions (ADRs), which are one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality in this age group. Knowledge of cutaneous ADRs from medicine use in the elderly population is limited.Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate demographic data, causative drug
