Using large-scale atomistic simulations, dislocation mechanics in the presence of linear complexions are investigated in an Fe-Ni alloy, where the complexions appear as nanoparticle arrays along edge dislocation lines.When mechanical shear stress is applied to drive dislocation motion, a strong pinning effect OATMEAL CHOCOLATE CHIP is observed wher
Significant friction reduction of high-intensity pulsed ion beam irradiated WC-Ni against graphite under water lubrication
Abstract Two types of commercial WC-Ni samples were irradiated with Magazines the High-intensity pulsed ion beam (HIPIB).Both the surface characteristics and tribo-characteristics of the non-irradiated and irradiated WC-Ni samples, sliding against graphite under water lubrication, were compared.Quite low steady friction coefficients (approximately
A distinct species, Dodona formosana, detected in the Dodona eugenes species complex: clarification of the taxonomic status of the Punch butterfly in Taiwan
The Tailed Punch, Dodona eugenes, is widely distributed in East Asia with seven subspecies currently recognized.However, two of them, namely ssp.formosana and ssp.esakii found in Taiwan, are hard to distinguish from each other due to ambiguous diagnostic characters.In this study, their taxonomic status is clarified by comparing genitalia characters
Coordination of CcpA and CodY Regulators in Staphylococcus aureus USA300 Strains
ABSTRACT The complex cross talk between metabolism and gene regulatory networks makes it difficult to untangle individual constituents and study their precise roles and interactions.To address this issue, we modularized the transcriptional regulatory network (TRN) of the Staphylococcus aureus USA300 strain by applying independent component analysis
Exhausting, but necessary: the lived experience of participants in an intensive inpatient trauma treatment program
BackgroundIntensive inpatient treatment programs have shown robust results in the treatment of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).How patients experience this treatment program and what changes they experience as a result of the treatment have, however, only scarcely been explored through qualitative studies.ObjectiveThis study aimed to explore
