Question
There is a copper based alloy (aluminium bronze) containing iron for specific custom application. The ratios should be very unusual: 65% copper, 25% aluminium and 10% iron. I tried to search literature for this diagram, but failed to find anything. Maybe because there is no such an alloy in practical use. Software "Thermocalc" is expensive for personal use, so I tried demo version and failed to reach databases (thought that they could have this ratio alloy already) present in demo version.
Is it possible to construct a ternary phase diagram for such an alloy using some software (if yes, would you refer me to such software, or maybe even calculate it for me?)? Or somehow estimate the liquidus and solidus temperatures some other way (aside from experimental)?
Thank you very much!
Question
Dear RG'ers,
There is a friend of mine who had a meningioma located in mid brain. Due to increase in intracranial pressure after Cyberknife treatment she had vision loss which was told to never recover. Then she had an open surgery where the tumor was 75% resected. After ventriculoperitoneal shunt she is doing actually well neurologically. Coming to vision, she was not seeing anything until postop month 2., when she started to see little shiny dots of different colors, then came lines and more complex shapes. In 5 months she started to see contours of objects and even whole picture of something in fornt of her (but only when she was somehow got scared...). Now she has constant daily change in background colour (started 3 months ago) - one day is black and she does not see anything, another day is grey and she sees contours of objects. She sees movement, she percieves brightness changes.
Do these changes mean that her vision is recovering? What does this grey-black background change mean? Is there something she can do to accelerate the process (if it is vision recovery, of course). Maybe there are neuroscientists who have seen such patients? Are there resources to get knowledge on this matter?
Thank you, guys
Best regards
Question
I aim to suggest a reference range for some protein for rats' blood serum. Animals won't be sacrificed and can be used again and again. In ideal setting, how many animals should be used to be able to say that in, let's say 5 weeks aged rats of some certain breed line, protein X is in Y-Z range for male/female?
Thank you very much!
Question
Can somebody advise a big, widely used and comprehensive resource on studies related to origin of life? Or maybe there are some institutions/individuals constantly working on that problem?
And another question is what happened to Eigen and Schuster's Hypercycle Theory? Is it a fundamental for today's understanding of the basic realisation of inorganic-->organic transition concept?
Question
Does anybody know what cost would it be worth to set a totally home based laboratory for work in microbiology and dealing with cell cultures? Is it somehow possible with reasonable investment?
Question
What happens to peptide ligands after detaching from binding site of receptor (for reversible reactions) - are they getting free and, let's say swim away or are they metabolized together with receptor itself? Found no explanation on this subject.
