Article Abstract

This study investigates the microstructural characteristics and mechanical properties of a laser welded AZ80 magnesium alloy. The welding process led to the formation of coarse-grained fusion zone (FZ), where a secondary phase formed continuous network. MgAl precipitation and coarsening of grain boundaries occurred in the heat affected zone. The welded joint exhibited excellent mechanical properties with a yield strength of 202 MPa and a joint efficiency of 92%. The microstructure analysis via EPMA and EBSD in conjunction with synchrotron X-ray diffraction analysis reveals that precipitates and increased dislocation density in the fusion zone are primary strengthening mechanisms for the laser welded AZ80 Mg alloy.

Humans frequently make decisions that impact close others. Prior research has shown that people have stable preferences regarding such decisions and maintain rich, nuanced mental representations of their close social partners. Yet, if and how such mental representations shape social decisions preferences remains to be seen.

Methuosis caused by dysregulated macropinocytosis, a promising tumor therapeutic strategy.

Nonapoptotic programmed cell death (PCD) has been recognized as potential alternative target for increasing chemosensitivity and augmenting antitumor efficacy. Among various types of nonapoptotic PCD, methuosis has gotten increasing attention recently, largely due to its unique morphological features and potential implications for apoptosis-resistant tumor therapy with negligible side effects. Methuosis is characterized by cytoplasmic vacuolization initiated by sustained macropinocytosis, concomitantly, the other cytotoxic agents from extracellular fluid can be delivered into cytoplasm of tumor cell via macropinocytosis, which can profoundly strengthen the combined antitumor efficacy.

Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) tracking requires accurate target localization from aerial top-down perspectives while operating under the computational constraints of aerial platforms. Current mainstream UAV trackers, constrained by the limited resources, predominantly employ lightweight Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) extractor, coupled with an appearance-based fusion mechanism. The absence of comprehensive target perception significantly constrains the balance between tracking accuracy and computational efficiency.

Models of how things spread often assume that transmission mechanisms are fixed over time. However, social contagions-the spread of ideas, beliefs, innovations-can lose or gain in momentum as they spread: ideas can get reinforced, beliefs strengthened, products refined. We study the impacts of such self-reinforcement mechanisms in cascade dynamics.

Choral harmony: the role of collective singing in ritual, cultural identity and cognitive-affective synchronisation in the age of AI.

This study examines how choral singing functions as a mechanism for sustaining ritual practice and reinforcing cultural identity. By integrating perspectives from musicology, social psychology, and cognitive science, it explores how collective vocal performance supports emotional attunement, group cohesion, and symbolic memory in culturally diverse contexts. A mixed-methods approach was applied, combining ethnographic observation, survey-based data, and cognitive measures with AI-informed frameworks such as voice emotion recognition and neural synchrony modeling.
