Systematic approach to paired ceramic coatings deposited by oxygen fuel and metal in a tribological application by K.A. Habib, D.L. Cano, Emilo Rayón, J. Serrano-Mira, José V. Abellán-Nebot, I. Cervera

“…The higher TiO2 content contained in the Al2O3–TiO2 coating system yielded relatively inferior mechanical properties but lower porosity (ranged between from 18.3% A to 0%T to 1.64% A-40%T) and initial and final hardness ratio (16.2% Al2O3 to 9.2% Al2O3–40%TiO2). Microstructural and phase analyses showed that this finding can be attributed to the special phase, Al2TiO5, and to the pre-existing microcracks in the coating. …”

Altered functional brain connectivity in Dyt1 knock-in mouse models by R. Z. Adury, B. J. Wilkes, P. Girdhar, Y. Li, D. E. Vaillancourt, D. E. Vaillancourt, D. E. Vaillancourt

“…We employed functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to assess resting-state and sensory-evoked brain connectivity and activation, along with diffusion MRI (dMRI) to evaluate microstructural changes. We hypothesized that dGAG mice would exhibit widespread network disruptions compared to the cortex-specific EMX mice, due to broader TorsinA dysfunction across the basal ganglia and cerebellum. …”
