High-temperature flow behavior and processing map of Inconel 625 alloy under electric heating by Changyuan Jia, Han Yin, Kaitian Mei, Wangqing Wu, Bingyan Jiang

“…Isothermal tensile tests of Inconel 625 were conducted over a wide temperature range (1173–1373 K) and strain rate domain (0.001–0.1 s−1) using a self-built electric heating tensile testing platform. The flow stress behavior and microstructural evolution under varying deformation conditions were systematically investigated, along with optimization of processing parameters. …”

Early-life adversities compromise behavioral development in male and female mice heterozygous for CNTNAP2 by Gabriele Chelini, Tommaso Fortunato-Asquini, Enrica Cerilli, Katia Monsorno, Benedetta Catena, Ginevra Matilde Dall’O’, Rosa Chiara Paolicelli, Yuri Bozzi

“…Specifically, LBN-raised Cntnap2+/− mice displayed a perseverative risk-taking behavior in the elevated plus maze. Interestingly, this trait was highly predictive of their success in social interaction, suggesting that the intrusion of anxiety into the social behavioral domain may contribute to extreme gain- or loss-of function in sociability. …”

A distant perspective on how the “past” affects the “present”: the impact of early environmental unpredictability on impulsive consumption by Shijin Sun, Zhengyang Hou, Jiahui Guo, Qian Tian

“…Participants were randomly assigned to one of the four experimental conditions to explore the relationship between early environmental factors and impulsive consumption tendencies.ResultsThe findings revealed that: (1) early environmental unpredictability significantly and positively predicts impulsive buying behavior; and (2) this predictive effect is amplified under conditions of perceived resource scarcity.DiscussionThese results highlight the lasting impact of early life environments on consumer behavior and suggest that resource scarcity can exacerbate impulsive consumption. …”
