The research in … …American Journal of Economics and Business Administration, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2009 · 7,760 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesOn the Hormetic Behaviour of Drugs Binding to Different Redox States of Amine Oxidase EnzymesDeepak Narang, G. Reid McDonald, David J. Smith et al.Classical monoamine oxidases and copper-containing semicarbazide-sensitive amine oxidases are drug targets for a variety of established and novel pharmaceuticals used to treat conditions such as depression, Parkinsonism and inflammatory disorders. Development of enzyme inhibitors, both historically and currently, assumes an underlying adherence of these enzymes to Michaelis-Menten kinetic principles. In this mini-review, we discuss historical data from several laboratories and … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2008 · 6,928 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHot Machining of Hardened Steels with Coated Carbide InsertsM. A. Lajis, A. K.M.N. Amin, A. N.M. Karim et al.Problem statement: The benefits of easier manufacture of hardened steel components can be substantial in terms of reduced machining costs and lead times compared to the traditional route involving machining of the annealed state followed by heat treatment, grinding/EDM and manual finishing. But machinability of hard material through conventional machining is hindered due to excessive wear of the cutting tools … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2009 · 8,378 accessesView PDFCite
