Residual Stresses in Metal Manufacturing: A Bibliometric Review.

The growing complexity of modern manufacturing has intensified the need for precise control of residual stresses to ensure structural reliability, dimensional stability, and material performance. This study conducts a bibliometric review using data from Scopus and Web of Science, covering publications from 2019 to 2024. Residual stress research in metal manufacturing has gained prominence, particularly in relation to welding, additive manufacturing, and machining-processes that induce significant stress gradients affecting mechanical behavior and service life.

An X-linked sex determination mechanism in cannabis and hop.

Sex chromosomes in cannabis and hop were identified a century ago because of their obvious visible differences in size (heteromorphy). However, we know little about the genes they contain that control the development of the inflorescences. Here we assembled genomes, with phased sex chromosomes, for hop and cannabis.

Viability of Microencapsulated Probiotics in Cross-Linked Alginate Matrices and Chia Seed or Flaxseed Mucilage During Spray-Drying and Storage.

Interest in probiotics has not diminished, and techniques to protect them from the environment in which they are found are constantly being innovated. Spray-drying is the most studied and industrially used technique to encapsulate probiotics. Recently, a new process has been developed in which particle formation, alginate cross-linking, and drying are carried out in a single step.
