Effect of spiral scanning laser power on arc thermal field in double pulsed CMT by Gang ZHANG, Zhongyi LIU, Xu MENG, Yu SHI, Ding FAN

“…When the laser power is set to 600–1200 W, the radial temperature distribution of arc becomes more uniform, and the temperature gradient significantly decreases; the arc temperature near the molten pool surface is notably elevated (a maximum increase of 900 ℃), which promotes the ionization of Mg and Al atoms, resulting in more generation of Mg II, Mg III, Al II, and Al III ions, and improving the arc stability. …”

Influence of physical exercise on activities of daily living in older adults: an empirical analysis based on propensity score matching and difference-in-differences by Xiaoni Ma, Xiaotian Li, Li Che, Jie Dong

“…During the COVID-19 pandemic, the reduction of social interaction and the limited use of exercise facilities led some older adults to reduce regular exercise and show more sedentary behavior. This study aimed to examine the influence of physical exercise on the Activities of Daily Living (ADL) among older adults during the COVID-19 pandemic.MethodsUsing the China Longitudinal Aging Social Survey (CLASS) data, propensity score matching (PSM) was performed on the sample, with the interaction between participation in physical exercise and observation year as the core independent variables, and instrumental activities of daily life (IADL) and basic activities of daily life (BADL) as the dependent variables for difference-in-differences (DID) regression analysis. …”
