Atomic‐Scale Insights Into Tramp Element Segregation and Mechanical Performance of a Low‐Carbon Steel

steel research international, EarlyView.
Despite increased hardness, elevated tramp element concentrations in a ferritic‐pearlitic low‐carbon steel lead to enhanced toughness accompanied by a more homogeneous and finer ferritic microstructure. Atom probe tomography reveals pronounced segregation of some tramp elements at grain boundaries and ferrite–cementite interfaces, together with ...

The Impact of Various Contact Structures on the Microscopic Surface Condition of Vacuum Interrupters During Capacitive Switching

High Voltage, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The double‐break vacuum circuit breakers (VCBs) that utilize series break technology effectively increase the switching capability for capacitive currents, elevate the withstand voltage level, and reduce the likelihood of restrike, all without compromising the breaking capacity for short‐circuit currents.

Efficacy and Safety of Abatacept Versus Placebo During Peanut Oral Immunotherapy for Adults With Severe Peanut Allergy

Allergy, EarlyView.
In this Phase 2a trial, severely peanut‐allergic participants were randomized to abatacept versus placebo with peanut oral immunotherapy (OIT) for 24 weeks, followed by 12 weeks of OIT alone. No significant difference was observed for the primary efficacy outcome (the relative change from baseline in peanut‐specific/total IgE ratio at 24 weeks), but ...

Diacerein Disrupts Testicular Homeostasis: The Essential Role of Basal Cytokines in Maintaining Sertoli Cell Integrity and the Immune Microenvironment

Andrology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Pro‐inflammatory cytokines, TNF and IL‐1B, are essential for testicular homeostasis. Diacerein, an anti‐inflammatory drug, inhibits these cytokines, impairing M2 macrophages and Leydig cells (LCs). However, its impact on Sertoli cells (SCs) and M1 (CD68) macrophages remains unknown.
