Ineffective hematopoiesis is the major characteristic of early myelodysplastic syndromes.Its pathophysiology relies on a diversity of mechanisms supported stable by genetic events that develop in aging hematopoietic stem cells.Deletion and mutations trigger epigenetic modifications, and co-transcriptional and post-transcriptional deregulations of g

High-Si steel is a low cost alternative for the fabrication of tubular structures resistant to atmospheric corrosion.However, the literature has often pointed out that steels presenting a higher Si content and/or a lower Mn/Si ratio have higher susceptibility to defects at the weld bond line during HFIW (High Frequency Induction Welding) process, w
