Article Abstract

Effects of scanning strategy during powder bed fusion electron beam additive manufacturing (PBF-EB AM) on microstructure, nano-mechanical properties, and creep behavior of Ti6Al4V alloys were compared. Results show that PBF-EB AM Ti6Al4V alloy with linear scanning without rotation strategy was composed of 96.9% α-Ti and 2.7% β-Ti, and has a nanoindentation range of 4.11-6.31 GPa with the strain rate ranging from 0.001 to 1 s, and possesses a strain-rate sensitivity exponent of 0.053 ± 0.014. While PBF-EB AM Ti6Al4V alloy with linear and 90° rotate scanning strategy was composed of 98.1% α-Ti and 1.9% β-Ti and has a nanoindentation range of 3.98-5.52 GPa with the strain rate ranging from 0.001 to 1 s, and possesses a strain-rate sensitivity exponent of 0.047 ± 0.009. The nanohardness increased with increasing strain rate, and creep displacement increased with the increasing maximum holding loads. The creep behavior was mainly dominated by dislocation motion during deformation induced by the indenter. The PBF-EB AM Ti6Al4V alloy with only the linear scanning strategy has a higher nanohardness and better creep resistance properties than the alloy with linear scanning and 90° rotation strategy. These results could contribute to understanding the creep behavior of Ti6Al4V alloy and are significant for PBF-EB AM of Ti6Al4V and other alloys.

It is helpful for diagnostic purposes to improve our current knowledge of gut development and serum biochemistry in young piglets. This study investigated serum biochemistry, and gut site-specific patterns of short-chain fatty acids (SCFA) and expression of genes related to barrier function, innate immune response, antioxidative status and sensing of fatty and bile acids in suckling and newly weaned piglets. The experiment consisted of two replicate batches with 10 litters each.

The transport properties of biased type II superconductors are strongly influenced by external magnetic fields, which play a crucial role in optimizing the stability and performance of low-noise superconducting electronic devices. A major challenge is the stochastic behavior of Abrikosov vortices, which emerge in the mixed state and lead to energy dissipation through their nucleation, motion, and annihilation. Uncontrolled vortex dynamics can introduce electronic noise in low-power systems and trigger thermal breakdown in high-power applications.

Mg-Sc body-centered cubic (BCC) phase-structured alloys not only exhibit superior room-temperature ductility and quasi-isotropic deformation behaviors compared to conventional hexagonal close-packed (HCP) Mg alloys in mechanical applications, but they also demonstrate a shape-memory effect that is applicable to intelligent devices. Due to the introduction of a dual-phase microstructure feature, the unveiled strengthening/toughening mechanism, and the potential benefit of Sc alloying in BCC creep deformation, it is necessary to investigate the composition and time-dependent creep behaviors of BCC Mg-Sc alloys, such as creep resistance and strain rate sensitivity at room temperature, through nano-indentation on the Mg-Sc diffusion couple. A critical finding is that as the Sc content increases from 23.

KEMRI-Wellcome Trust Research Program, Nairobi, Kenya; Health Systems Collaborative, Nuffield Department of Medicine, University of Oxford, UK.

Background: Nurses working in intermediate care neonatal units in Kenya often experience workload that is six times greater than global recommendations, and this presents quality and safety concerns. Fiscal constraints often limit nurse recruitment. Therefore, addressing workforce shortages to improve quality of care requires careful consideration of skill-mix.

Biosimilar artificial mucus models that mimic native mucus facilitate efficient, lab-based drug diffusion studies, addressing the costly and challenging preclinical phase of drug development, especially for nano- and micro-scale particle-based colonic drug delivery. This study presents a machine-learning-driven framework that integrates microrheological features into diffusional fingerprinting to characterize nano- and micro-scale particle diffusion patterns in mucus and assess the effect of mucus microrheology on such movements. We investigated the diffusion of fluorescent-labeled polystyrene particles in native pig mucus and two artificial mucus models.
