Comparison of the strength of resistance spot-welded, bonded, and hybrid single lap joints: A numerical investigation by Murat Demiral, Ali Mamedov

“…While traditional methods such as bolting, riveting, and resistance spot welding have been central to structural assembly, they face limitations under modern engineering demands like higher strength, weight reduction, improved fatigue life and damage tolerance. This study investigates the mechanical performance of resistance spot-welded, adhesively bonded, and hybrid single lap joints, focusing on the effects of spot-weld diameter and the adhesive layer's ductile-brittle properties. …”

High lipid diet can keep liver health but cause muscle oxidative stress of triploid rainbow trout treated with acute hypoxic challenge by Changye Li, Buying Han, Guoliang Sun, Haining Tian, Zezhong Wu, Changzhong Li, Yuqiong Meng, Rui Ma

“…In the study, two isonitrogenous diets with a lipid level of 23 % (normal control, NC) and 30 % (high lipid, HL), respectively, were fed to triploid rainbow trout with initial average weight of 233 g for 80 days, and then subjected to an acute hypoxic challenge, and estimated the effect of HL diet on acute hypoxic tolerance of triploid rainbow trout. The results showed that 1) HL diet significantly increased plasma lactate dehydrogenase, glucose, total cholesterol, high and low density lipoprotein cholesterol levels, but decreased alanine aminotransferase level (P < 0.05). 2) HL diet did not affect hepatic malondialdehyde (MDA) content (P > 0.05), while it significantly increased MDA content in the plasma and muscle (P < 0.05). …”
