Influence of Homogenizing Methodology on Mechanical and Tribological Performance of Powder Metallurgy Processed Titanium Composites Reinforced by Graphene Nanoplatelets.

In the present work, 0.25 wt%GNP-Ti composites were prepared through powder metallurgy route by adopting three types of mixing modes to investigate the extent of mixing on the mechanical and tribological properties. Dry ball milling, wet ball milling, and rotator mixing were independently employed to homogenize the composite constituents.

A Young Lady with Hypertension - Rare Presentation of a Common Disease.

Hypertension is a common finding in patients with renal impairment but it is frequently difficult to establish if one feature is the cause or the effect of the other. Even rarer is the identification of an underlying cause for hypertension or renal failure in such patients. We present a case of hypertension in a young lady as part of nephritic syndrome due to HCV associated essential mixed cryoglobulinemia.
