The effect of lattice misfit on the mechanical properties of L12-strengthened medium-entropy alloys with low stacking fault energy by Bingkai Wang, Huijie Wei, Ping Huang, Fei Wang

“…Increasing lattice misfit helps to improve alloy strength, while also reducing plasticity. The reason for this is that the large amount of high stress field generated by large lattice misfit at the phase boundary helps to hinder dislocation movement, but it can also cause stress to be too concentrated during early deformation, leading to fracture. …”

“… Background Semen quality appears to have declined over the past decades but reasons for this decline are unresolved. It may seem that an increase in the share of a sedentary lifestyle, at least due to the way of working or spending free time, and a decrease in the share of physical exercises during everyday activities may have an impact on this. …”

Simulation Study on Single-Event Burnout Reliability of 900V 4H-SiC Quasi Vertical Double Diffused MOSFET by Jin-Ke Shi, Ying Wang, Xin-Xing Fei, Biao Sun, Yan-Xing Song, Yu-Qian Liu, Wei Zhang

“…In this work, the single-event burnout (SEB) performance and reasons of the proposed 900V SiC quasi-vertical double diffusion MOSFET with deepened drain (T-QVDMOSFET) are analyzed from the spatial distribution of physical quantities such as power density, lattice temperature and total current density by 2-D numerical simulation, and a SEB-hardened structure (TB-QVDMOSFET) with buried oxygen layer (BOX) and heavily doped N-type current expansion layer (CSL) inside the device is proposed. …”

Single‐cell sequencing reveals the features of adaptive immune responses in the liver of a mouse model of dengue fever by Yizhen Yuan, Qian Chen, Zhe Li, Fangzhou Cai, Dan Li, Wei Wang

“…Results Our result showed CTLs were significantly activated in the severe liver injury group but the immune function‐related signal pathway was down‐regulated. The reason may be that the excessive immune response in the severe group at the late stage of DENV infection induces the polarization of macrophages into M2 type, and the macrophages then inhibit T cell immunity through the TGF‐β signaling pathway. …”
