Interface characteristics and mechanical behavior of aluminum alloy/ ultrahigh-strength steel plasma arc welded joint by Di Wu, Xiaolong Cai, Hongmei Li, Xiaoqi Zhang, Daqian Sun

“…Fe2Al5 grains exhibited a clear preferential orientation in the [001] crystal direction and a strong silk texture in the <001> direction, but were weaker in Fe4Al13 grains. The average Schmidt factor of the Fe4Al13 and Fe2Al5 grains in the interface zone was 0.269 and 0.287, respectively, corresponding to the high brittleness and hardness of Fe4Al13 and Fe2Al5. …”

Mechanical and Acoustic Emission Characteristics of Sandstone through Triaxial Unloading Test after Cyclic Freezing-Thawing Treatment by Xiaohui Ni, Xiaomei Shen, Zhende Zhu

“…These cracks were not closed under small confining pressure during the triaxial test, causing weaker mechanical properties of samples. We also found that the freezing-thawing treatment had a significant deterioration on the mechanical properties of the sandstone samples when the number of freezing-thawing cycles exceeded a certain threshold (between 60 and 80 in this study). …”

Threat perception and behavioral reactivity in response to an acute stressor in infant rhesus macaques by Tara M. Mandalaywala, Sean P. Coyne

“…Across these two reactivity tests, infants could be classified as “vigilant-fighters”—trying to escape and paying more attention to a threatening than a neutral stimulus—or as “avoidant-freezers”—staying still and quiet and avoiding looking at the threatening stimulus in favor of the neutral stimulus. …”

Avian Infectious Bronchitis Virus: Molecular Detection in Southwestern Ethiopia Chickens by Bezina Arega Emeru, Haregawi Tesfaye Desta

“…However, improper carcass disposal (OR = 0.43, 95% CI: 0.13–1.4), lack of veterinary services (OR = 2.7, 95% CI: 0.8–8.3), and the presence of wild birds/rodents (OR = 4.4, 95% CI: 0.88-22.3) were associated with increased IBV risk but not cleaning of feeders/drinkers (OR = 1.1, 95% CI: 0.2–4.8). These findings underscore the need for enhanced biosecurity practices and further research to implement informed IBV control strategies in Ethiopia.…”
