Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is described as an abnormalities of renal function, existing for a long period of time. By reason of the early grades of Chronic kidney disease can be experiences no symptoms, its premature identification is strenuous. initial stage CRD can cause various complications, such as anemia, matabolyic disorders of bone mineral. The study was done to assess the effect the chronic renal disease stage on the Osteoprotegerin, 1,25 dihydroxyvitamin D, Obestatin levels and some biochemical parameters in patients not undertaken dialysis therapy. In this case-control study fifty-five patients with Kidney failure and fourty healthy people were examined. Circulating concentrations of Osteoprotegerin, 1,25 dihydroxyvitamin D and Obestatin were estimated by ELIZA technique, serum urea, uric acid, total protein and total calciumu were estimated enzymatically using spectrophotometer.
Serum concentration of Osteoprotegerin, Obestatin, renal function markers in patients group were higher (328.3±41.68 pg/mL; 15.52±4.28pg/mL; 183.2±10.35 mg/dL; 8.88±0.54 mg/dL; 6.57±0.22 mg/dL) respectively in comparison to the control group (172.6±55.48 pg/mL; 11.64±3.26 pg/mL; 33.45±1.08 mg/dL; 0.95±0.03 mg/dL; 4.35±0.22 mg/dL) respectively. Vitamin D, Total Calcium and Total Proteins level in patients group were lower(24.49±2.53 ng/mL; 8.06±0.18 mg/dL; 6.49±0.12 g/dL) respectively as compared to controls (57.11±12.39 ng/mL; 10.15±0.23 mg/dL; 6.82±0.10 g/dL) respectively. The current study reveals that circulating levels of Osteoprotegerin Obestatin are remarkably linked with the existence of renal failure, the current data identify a high prevalence deficiency and insufficiency of 1,25 dihydroxyvitamin D in patients with moderate and severe Chronic nephropathy.

Death brings heirs out of the woodwork when there is money involved, but a tragedy brings out claims of special relationships, e.g., “I knew him deeper,” “better,” “my loss is greater,” etc. I did not know Rene Highway. He did not know me. I lay no claim to his memory. I have only my own.
The Disowned Collective Théâtre Parminou and the Canada Council
Authors: Graham Catherine 
Published: June 2023

Can a troupe that has performed 4,200 times for 960,000 spectators over a twenty-year period contribute to the development of Canadian theatre? The troupe in question, Quebec’s Théâtre Parminou, thinks it can. The Canada Council disagrees. The result of the disagreement: an $85,000 cut to the operational funding of a troupe the Canada Council believes lacks artistic merit. The cut hurts. The Theatre Parminou is a touring troupe and one of its trucks needs to be replaced if it is to continue to play in the regional halls and school auditoriums that are its main venues. The nine permanent sta ff members, all members of the cooperative that runs the Parminou, already have salaries slightly below the Canadian average but after years of perfecting their skills they find themselves forced to accept lower salaries and longer hours to keep the troupe afloat. The forty contractual salaries that have allowed the Parminou to act as a training ground for young Quebec actors are now more than the troupe can afford. But worst of all, the Canada Council’s decision to completely cut their operational support has left members of the collective feeling like they’ve been disowned. In co-artistic director Maureen Martineau’s words: “All of a sudden they’re telling you that you’re no longer a member of the Canadian theatre family. You can keep doing what you do, but as far as they’re concerned, you really have nothing to contribute.”
Haitian Theatre in Montreal: Building a Base
Authors: Fouché Jacqueline E. 
Published: June 2023

For decades, theatre in Haiti was historical and intimist, based on the Western theatrical model. Haitian theatre only began coming into its own in the 1940s, and more so in the 1950s. Playwrights like Morisseau Leroy, Franck Fouche and Enock Trouillot began to look at Haiti’s cultural heritage and created a new form of theatre using new theatrical language; a window opened onto a “theatre of the people”, written in Creole, onto total theatre that incorporated song and dance, onto a theatre of demystification.

Published: June 2023

The review of these five recent publications by Playwrights Canada Press presents a double opportunity: an assessment of this press’s contribution to Canadian theatre and drama, and a chance to offer some general comments about the state of the art, as it were, in the middle of the 1990s, Playwrights Union of Canada had its origin in a small group formed on the Gaspe Peninsula in 1971, soon after receiving Canada Council support to establish a resource centre for Canadian playwriting. As the activities of this playwrights’ co-op developed and expanded, it was officially incorporated in 1979 as Playwrights Canada. In 1984 this group merged with the Guild of Canadian Playwrights (itself formed in 1977) to establish the Playwrights Union of Canada (PUC). Publishing has been and continues to be an important aspect of PUC’s work. At first, publications were those now-familiar typewritten and stapled scripts - and these were indeed my introduction to the existence of a Canadian drama. I was a new immigrant to Canada in the early 1980s and a graduate student in a Department of English. In response to my question “what Canadian drama is there?” asked of the department’s Canadianists and one or two others there, I heard the univocal response: “Oh, there isn’t any.” But soon after this emphatic declaration, I began discovering PUC’s typescripts on the University library shelves and read them all and eventually sent for a catalogue. Some ten years later, I find myself the President of the Association for Canadian Theatre Research so I guess I found my own and different answer to that initial inquiry. I wonder for how many other people PUC’s publications have been a route for uncovering and enjoying the breadth and diversity of talent that is contemporary Canadian drama. And now PUC’s publishing enterprise has expanded to include the full text production of some six or more plays each year, along with occasional special volumes (such as the Taking the Stage anthology reviewed here).

Authors: Joulia A. , Duarte W. , Goutier S. , Vardelle M. , Vardelle A. , Rossignol S. 
Published: June 2023

Abstract
In this study, a wide range of suspension plasma spraying conditions are used to produce YSZ coatings for intended use in liquid gas engines. To meet specifications, the coatings must exhibit a homogeneous microstructure with no vertical cracks or columns, low surface roughness, and low thermal conductivity. The properties of the plasma jet (velocity, enthalpy, stability), droplets (trajectory, number, size), and particles (velocity) were measured during spray trials and are correlated with coating microstructure. Suspension plasma spraying conditions necessary for depositing disk-shaped splats and achieving finely structured coatings with no stacking defects are described along with substrate cooling requirements.

Authors: Blochet Q. , Delloro F. , N’Guyen F. , Borit F. , Jeandin M. , Roche K. , Surdon G. 
Published: June 2023

Abstract
This study deals with the influence of spray angle on the deposition of cold-sprayed Al particles. Spray trails were conducted in parallel with finite element simulations of particle deformation and coating build-up as a function of spray angle, powder size, substrate roughness, and surface configuration. Coating cross-sections and splats were examined by SEM; bonding strength and particle adhesion were determined via laser shock adhesion testing. Experimental as well as modeling results show that splats deposited at spray angles less than 60° are highly deformed and poorly adhered. Based on the findings, several conclusions are drawn with regard to the potential use of cold spraying for the repair of aircraft components.

Authors: Wagener W. , Woisetschläger P. , Bauer A. 
Published: June 2023

Abstract
This paper presents an overview of the engineering and innovation behind BMW’s use of thermal spraying in the production of automotive engines at its light metal foundry in Landshut, Germany. It discusses the factors that drive engine development at BMW, the different approaches in play for improving the performance of cast aluminum crankcases, and the opportunities made possible by thermal spray technology. It describes the aluminum crankcase production process, from die casting to honing, with emphasis on BMW’s state-of-the-art implementation of twin wire arc spraying. It explains how the spraying process is controlled and how key process steps and parameters are monitored and optimized in real time along with coating properties and microstructures. If a coating defect is detected, it is documented on the fly and, in many cases, corrected in a subsequent process step. A few examples of defect detection at work are presented.

Abstract
The main objective of this study is to determine the optimum conditions for cold spraying a WC-Co nanopowder on aluminum alloy and carbon steel substrates. XRD tests were run on the powder and coatings to determine if phase changes occurred during spraying. Coating samples were evaluated via adhesion, corrosion, and wear testing. Cold spraying proved to be very competitive with conventional thermal spray techniques, producing thick, dense, hard WC-Co coatings on steel as well as aluminum with excellent tribological and electrochemical properties.
Modelling of Impact and Bonding of Inhomogeneous Particles in Cold Spraying
Authors: Assadi H. , Klassen T. , Gärtner F. , Nanbu T. , Kawashita Y. , Uehara Y. 
Published: June 2023

Abstract
In this study, Eulerian finite element analysis is used to explore the deformation and bonding behavior of composite particles deposited by cold spraying. The objective is to account for shear instability and bonding as well as the geometry of the deforming material. An accurate description of the geometry is essential when the amount of deforming material is limited as in composite particles. Another goal is to provide a framework for modeling the impact of agglomerates. In this case, deposition is influenced by bonding and fragmentation or detachment due to plastic rebound. To account for the latter effect, thin layers of nonbonding material are added to particle and substrate surfaces in the model. Simulations of metal-clad ceramic particles show that there is a critical shell thickness beyond which maximum stress in the hard phase abruptly increases.
A Preliminary Microstructure Investigation of YSZ Coatings Deposited by Plasma Spray-Physical Vapor Deposition using a Shrouded Plasma Torch
Authors: Chen Q.-Y. , Li C.-J. , Li C.-X. , Yang G.-J. , Zhao J.-Z. 
Published: June 2023

Abstract
In this study, YSZ coatings are deposited by plasma spray-physical vapor deposition using a shroud to limit expansion of the plasma jet and increase its heating ability. Optical emission spectroscopy shows that the shroud significantly increases the evaporation of YSZ particles in the jet, resulting in coatings with a hybrid columnar structure. SEM examination of coating surfaces and cross-sections reveal micro and nanoscale features and, in each case, the mechanisms of formation are discussed.
Intermediate PVD Layers as Diffusion Barriers in Turbine Coating Systems
Authors: Ali I. E. , Wett D. , Grund T. , Nestler D. , Wielage B. , Lampke T. 
Published: June 2023

Abstract
Thermal barrier coatings typically incorporate a YSZ topcoat and a metallic bond coat. During service, a reaction zone consisting of different thermally grown oxides forms at the interface. Although most such oxides are detrimental, one (α-Al2O3) improves service life due to its barrier effect on oxygen diffusion. In this study, Al and AlOx films are deposited on metallic bond coats by dc magnetron sputtering prior to topcoat deposition. The resulting TBCs were thermally cycled to determine the effect of the interlayer films on service life and TGO formation. It is shown that the Al films transform in situ into dense Al2O3 layers that act as oxygen diffusion barriers. TBCs with interlayer alumina, whether deposited directly or formed in situ, showed less cracking and were more mechanically stable during thermal cycle tests.
