Three-dimensional study of grain scale tensile twinning activity in Mg: A combination of microstructure characterization and mechanical modeling [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2023
Tensile twinning is a main deformation mode in hexagonal close packed structure metals, so it is important to comprehensively understand twinning mechanisms which are not fully disclosed using 2D or small volume 3D characterization techniques. A large area 3D electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) measurement and crystal plasticity modeling were ...

Twin Studies in Narcolepsy [PDF]

open access: yesSleep, 1994
The genetic basis of narcolepsy is reflected by the strong association to human leukocyte antigen DR2 (most specifically to DQB1-0602) and the occasional familial occurrence, with several modes of transmission. At present, 12 monozygotic pairs with at least one affected twin have been reported.
