Polymorphism of the trehalase gene (TREH) in native populations of Siberia by B. A. Malyarchuk, M. V. Derenko

“…Thus, the high frequency of variant rs2276064­A, associated with a low­activity trehalase, explains why Northern aboriginal peoples avoid food containing trehalose. It is assumed that the increase in the frequency of this variant in the populations of Northeast Asia can have been facilitated by gene drift acting in populations of a small effective size. …”

Grain refinement and improved mechanical properties of as-cast Mg-3Gd alloy by Zr addition by Mohammadreza Maghzi, Hamed Mirzadeh, Reza Mahmudi

“…Results revealed that Zr significantly refined the grain size (d) from 358 μm in the base Mg-3Gd alloy to 23 μm with the addition of 0.8 wt% Zr, which was more pronounced compared to other RE-containing and RE-free alloys. This was attributed to the inoculation effect of α–Zr particles as heterogeneous nucleation sites and high growth restriction factor (GRF) of solute Zr. …”
