Achieving high strength in 430 stainless steel by laser powder bed fusion: microstructure-property relationships and strengthening strategies

Conventional manufacturing of 430 ferritic stainless steel faces significant challenges, including severe work hardening, rapid tool wear, and limited strengthening via heat treatment. To overcome these limitations, this study employs laser...

Evolution of the Shadow Effect with Film Thickness and Substrate Conductivity on a Hemispherical Workpiece during Magnetron Sputtering

When depositing films on a complex workpiece surface by magnetron sputtering, the shadow effect occurs and causes the columnar structure to tilt toward the substrate owing to the oblique incident angle of the plasma flux, affecting the micr...

Manufacturing of Hierarchical (Nano-)Composite Structures: Numerical and Experimental Perspectives

Thermoset polymer nanocomposites have considerable potential to improve the functionality and optimise the performance of composite structures. Such a nanocomposite generally consists of a modified polymer matrix (continuous phase) containi...

Bio-Template Synthesis of V₂O₃@Carbonized Dictyophora Composites for Advanced Aqueous Zinc-Ion Batteries

In terms of new-generation energy-storing devices, aqueous zinc-ion batteries (AZIBs) are becoming the prime candidates because of their inexpensive nature, inherent safety, environmental benignity and abundant resources. Nevertheless, due ...

Effect of the Temperature and Oxidation Time on Some Physicochemical Characteristics of the Rice Bran Oil

Due to their excellent characteristics, vegetable oils are successfully used in various formulations of organic lubricants. In this context, the advanced biodegradability and excellent lubricity performance of rice oil leads to its being co...

Power Estimation in Multivariate Analysis of Variance

Power is often overlooked in designing multivariate studies for the simple reason that it is believed to be too complicated. In this paper, it is shown that power estimation in multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) can be approximated ...

Network Analysis of Medical Claims Data Suggests Network-Based, Regional Targeting and Intervention Delivery Strategies to Increase Access to Office Based Opioid Treatment (OBOT) for Opioid Use Disorder (OUD)

Opioid overdose and Opioid Use Disorder (OUD) statistics underscore an urgent need to significantly expand access to evidence-based OUD treatment. Office Based Opioid Treatment (OBOT) has proven effective for treating OUD. However, limited ...

Rezvilutamide in metastatic, hormone-sensitive prostate cancer

Different sex ratios of children born to Indian and Pakistani immigrants in Norway

Abstract Background A low female-to-male ratio has been observed in different Asian countries, but this phenomenon has not been well studied among immigrants living in Western societies. In this study, we investigated whether a low female-t...

The relationship between perceived stress and depression in colorectal cancer patients: the mediating role of illness perception and the moderating role of self-efficacy

BackgroundNumerous studies have demonstrated a close association between perceived stress and depression in colorectal cancer patients; however, the underlying mechanisms remain incompletely understood. This study aims to investigate the im...

Predicting Microbial Protein Synthesis in Cattle: Evaluation of Extant Equations and Steps Needed to Improve Accuracy and Precision of Future Equations

Predictions of microbial crude protein (MCP) synthesis for beef cattle generally rely on empirical regression equations, with intakes of energy and protein as key variables. Using a database from published literature, we developed new equat...

An Intersection–Union Test for the Sharpe Ratio

An intersection–union test for supporting the hypothesis that a given investment strategy is optimal among a set of alternatives is presented. It compares the Sharpe ratio of the benchmark with that of each other strategy. The interse...

ltm: An R Package for Latent Variable Modeling and Item Response Analysis

The R package ltm has been developed for the analysis of multivariate dichotomous and polytomous data using latent variable models, under the Item Response Theory approach. For dichotomous data the Rasch, the Two-Parameter Logistic, and Bi...

Integrability of Reeb Distribution Associated to a Generalized Engel Manifold

In this paper, we define a generalized Reeb distribution of an Engel 4n-manifold and give a necessary and sufficient condition for integrability of this Reeb distribution which gives a generalization of some results of N. Pia about Reeb dis...

Hardy-Leindler-Type Inequalities via Conformable Delta Fractional Calculus

In this article, some fractional Hardy-Leindler-type inequalities will be illustrated by utilizing the chain law, Hölder’s inequality, and integration by parts on fractional time scales. As a result of this, some classical integral inequali...
