Investigation on the microstructure evolution and deformation behavior of Mg–2Zn-0.5Mn-0.2Ca-xNd/yLa alloy by in-situ tensile by Jie Mi, Shengquan Liang, Shiyu Luan, Qianlong Ren, Xin Che, Peipeng Jin

“…The Nd–Zn phase rich in Zn layer promote dislocation transfer and improve the plasticity of alloy B, while more Mg–Zn phase and Mg–Mn phase in alloy A pin dislocations and improve strength. In addition, tensile twins are produced during the tensile of the two alloys and the content is similar, but the extremely low twin content makes its effect on the mechanical properties of the two alloys negligible. …”

3D modelling and simulation of thermal effects and dispersion of particles carrying infectious respiratory agents in a railway transport coach by Patrick Armand, Jérémie Tâche

“…In the second part of our research, we developed a model of filtration through a typical surgical mask and possible leaks around the mask if it is poorly adjusted. We resumed the twin experiment of the railway coach and compared the distribution of droplets depending on whether the passengers (including the infected one) wear masks or not and whether the masks are perfectly fitted or worn loosely. …”

Edge-centric connectome-genetic markers of bridging factor to comorbidity between depression and anxiety by Zhiyi Chen, Yancheng Tang, Xuerong Liu, Wei Li, Yuanyuan Hu, Bowen Hu, Ting Xu, Rong Zhang, Lei Xia, Jing-Xuan Zhang, Zhibing Xiao, Ji Chen, Zhengzhi Feng, Yuan Zhou, Qinghua He, Jiang Qiu, Xu Lei, Hong Chen, Shaozheng Qin, Tingyong Feng

“…Moreover, this cb factor could be predicted using edge-centric connectomes with robust generalizability, and was characterized by connectome patterns in attention and frontoparietal networks. In an independent twin cohort, we found that these patterns were moderately heritable, and identified their genetic connectome-transcriptional markers that were associated with the neurobiological enrichment of vasculature and cerebellar development, particularly during late-childhood-to-young-adulthood periods. …”
