Effect of LPBF Processing Parameters on Inconel 718 Lattice Structures: Geometrical Characteristics, Surface Morphology, and Mechanical Properties by Nahal Ghanadi, Kwangtae Son, Marco Alvarado, Seongun Yang, Hsin-Mei Kao, Chih-Hung Chang, Brian K. Paul, Somayeh Pasebani

“…This study investigates the effects of LPBF processing parameters, specifically laser power and scanning speed, on the geometrical characteristics, surface quality, and mechanical behavior of Inconel 718 lattices structures. The results reveal that processing parameters required for the fabrication of near-full dense structures do not translate effectively to lattice configurations, as variations in energy input influence lattice geometry and surface quality. …”

Structural-functional brain network coupling during cognitive demand reveals intelligence-relevant communication strategies by Johanna L. Popp, Jonas A. Thiele, Joshua Faskowitz, Caio Seguin, Olaf Sporns, Kirsten Hilger

“…Using diffusion-weighted and functional magnetic resonance imaging data from 764 participants of the Human Connectome Project (replication: N 1  = 126, N 2  = 180), we model SC-FC coupling with similarity and communication measures that capture functional interactions unfolding on top of structural brain networks. By accounting for variations in brain region-specific neural signaling strategies, we show that individual differences in SC-FC coupling patterns predict individual intelligence scores. …”

Cases of possible structural-stratigraphic accumulations in the Oriente Basin, analysis on their accumulation mechanisms and implication for future exploration by Feng Ding, Guangfu Wang, Mingxi Xue, Yu Sun, Yaping Liu, Jianfang Sun, Fayou Li

“…In the other two, the lateral seals are apparently discontinuous and cannot provide a complete barrier at the up-dip of the structures. Possible factors for the formation of those untypical structural-stratigraphic accumulations are studied, such as formation water flow and water head variations, basin and field structure evolution patterns, oil generation and charging history etc. …”
