Influence of Tempering Temperature on Abrasive-Wear Performance of High-Chromium-Based Multicomponent White Cast Iron [PDF]
Recently, high-Cr multicomponent white cast iron after quenching is known to have superior abrasive-wear resistance. However, this material is prone to cracking due to the precipitation of very hard carbides resulting in very limited application. However,

Effect of Aluminum Content on Microstructure and Properties of Fe-1.4C-1.5Cr-Alx Steel [PDF]
The microstructure evolution and hardness change of Fe-1.4C-1.5Cr-Alx ultra-high carbon steel with 2%-6% aluminum content added during quenching and tempering were analyzed.

Acute caffeine treatment protects the developing retina from ischemia‐induced cell death
Caffeine reduces cell death in the developing retina under ischemia (OGD). This effect does not involve BDNF upregulation or antioxidant pathways (NRF2/VEGF). Neuroprotection occurs mainly through adenosine A2A receptor antagonism, decreasing glutamate release and excitotoxicity, highlighting caffeine's potential as an acute neuroprotective agent in ...

Accelerating parallel tempering : quantile tempering algorithm (QuanTA) [PDF]
It is well known that traditional Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) methods can fail to effectively explore the state space for multimodal problems. Parallel tempering is a well-established population approach for such target distributions involving a ...

Time-Temperature Equivalence in Martensite Tempering
The relationship between time and temperature is of great consequence in many materials-related processes including the tempering of martensite. In 1945, Hollomon and Jaffe quantified the 'degree of tempering' as a function of both tempering time, t, and tempering temperature, T, using the expression, T(log t + c).

Association of mortality with high temperatures in a temperate climate: England and Wales [PDF]
Background It is well known that high ambient temperatures are associated with increased mortality, even in temperate climates, but some important details are unclear. In particular, how heat–mortality associations (for example, slopes and thresholds) vary by climate has previously been considered only qualitatively.

Versatile vector tools for efficient protein screening across multiple expression systems
A unified vector toolkit enables rapid protein expression screening across E. coli, insect, and mammalian cells. A single primer pair amplifies the target gene, which is inserted into any vector via a standardized interface. This streamlined workflow eliminates repeated cloning steps, accelerating the identification of optimal expression conditions for

TisIBP8, a fungal‐derived hyperactive ice‐binding protein, helps Caenorhabditis elegans survive dehydration. It localizes near cell membranes, reduces cell damage, and helps maintain membrane structure during drying. These results suggest that ice‐binding proteins can protect cells from dehydration stress as well as freezing stress.

Exploring the low temperature tempering range of low alloy quenched and tempered steels
Abstract It is well known that quenched and tempered alloy steel components with ultimate tensile strength in excess of 1400 MPa are seldom employed as mechanical components, due to their not adequate ductility, as ascertained by multiple researches performed during World War II and soon after.
