As the evaluation of the tribological properties of the brake lining material is important for
the braking performance identification, a pad-on-disc friction and wear tests of a commercial …

The distribution of dermatophytes varies in different countries and geographical areas
depending on several factors. To determine the frequency of aetiological agents and the clinical …

The interaction between microstructure, mechanical, and frictional properties of a commercial
brake lining material (BLM) was investigated in order to correlate them to braking …

This article describes and explains the tribological tests and methods for the evaluation of the
performance of the brake friction materials. It starts by discussing the particularities of these …

This paper presents a multi-scale analysis of the mechanical behaviour of hot work steels
taking into account the effect of residual stress generated by the initial microstructure and the …

DNA isolation from C. neoformans is difficult due to a thick and resistant capsule. We have
optimized a new and rapid DNA isolation method for Cryptococcus using a short urea …

Pneumocystis jirovecii is an important opportunistic pathogen that causes severe pneumonia
in immunocompromised patients. The aim of the present study was to investigate the …

Aiming to provide a better understanding of thermal phenomena occurring in a sliding
contact under tribological solicitation, a numerical model of pad-on-disc tribometer has been …

Cryptococcus neoformans is an encapsulated yeast‐like fungus that causes life‐threatening
infections, particularly in immunocompromised patients. The formation of brown pigment on …

Friction materials are composed of numerous ingredients which differ from nature and particles
size. Each ingredient has its own impact on the mechanical and tribological behavior of …
