DATA DRIVEN TOOLS AND METHODS FOR MICROTEXTURE CLASSIFICATION AND DWELL FATIGUE LIFE PREDICTION IN DUAL PHASE TITANIUM ALLOYS

Data Driven Tools and Methods for Microtexture Classification and Dwell Fatigue Life Prediction in Dual Phase Titanium Alloys

Microtexture has been linked to large reductions in cold dwell fatigue (CDF) life of specific dual phase titanium alloy aeroengine components.A recently completed Metals Affordability Initiative (MAI) funded program led by Pratt & Whitney (P&W) and includes ATI Forged Products, Boeing, GE Aviation, Rolls Royce (RR), Arconic, Titanium Metals Corpora

Specific protease mutation patterns are associated with oropharyngeal candidiasis in a New Orleans patient cohort of HIV-infected individuals

HIV-1 protease gene sequences were obtained from peripheral blood, saliva or oral tissues of 35 HIV+ patients using nested amplification and manual sequencing of PCR products.Of the 35 HIV+ patients 9 had clinical oropharyngeal candidiasis (OPC) while 26 did not, and only 4 patients were on protease inhibitor (PI) therapy.These patients were collec

Accounting for cross-country-cross-time variations in measurement invariance testing. A case of political participation

"In many works involving measurement invariance testing, researchers concentrate on one type of grouping only, such as countries, even when the comparisons they make involve multiple types of grouping, such as countries and years.In this article, we propose a Home Media Players procedure allowing to incorporate more than one type of grouping into t
