Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffects of Complexing Agent on Electrochemical Micro Machining of Stainless SteelChen Hui, Wang Yu-Kui, Wang Zhen-Long, Zhao Wan-ShengProblem statement: Electrochemical Machining (ECM) is a prospective technique in micro machining. The productions of work piece in ECM are precipitation of hydroxide, which will block the machining gap. To prevent the formation of hydroxide, acids were often used. To machining work piece which is not acid-resistant, acids are not suitable. Approach: This study is conducted to find the effects … …Current Research in Nanotechnology, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 15 Jun 2011 · 7,113 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractUncommon Toxicologic Profile at Toxic Doses of CPI-613 (an Agent Selectively Alters Tumor Energy Metabolism) in Rats and Minipigs Reflects Novel MechanismClaudia Maturo, King C. Lee, Robert Rodriguez, Robert ShorrProblem statement: CPI-613 is a novel anticancer agent and the toxicological profile has not been assessed. Accordingly, the objective of these studies was to thoroughly evaluate the Toxicokinetic (TK) effects of CPI-613 in rats and to compare the toxicological profile of rats to minipigs to determine if there were differences between the two animal species. Approach: These studies involved assessments … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 5, Issue 4 · 13 Jun 2011 · 9,582 accessesView PDFCite
