MICROSTRUCTURE-BASED SIMULATION ON THE MECHANICAL BEHAVIOR OF PARTICLE REINFORCED METAL MATRIX COMPOSITES WITH VARYING PARTICLE CHARACTERISTICS

Microstructure-based simulation on the mechanical behavior of particle reinforced metal matrix composites with varying particle characteristics

The mechanical performance of metal matrix composites strengthened with particles is predominantly contingent upon the attributes of the incorporated particles.Attaining the optimal particle size, morphology, and interfacial bonding within the composites is paramount for improving the comprehensive properties.In this study, an experimentally congru

Gut microbiota changes in Hexagrammos otakii during development and association with diets based on metagenomics sequencing

The development of microbial communities is important for the growth of the fat greenling Hexagrammos otakii; however, the relationship between microbial communities and fish diet is poorly understood.Here, we used metagenomics sequencing to investigate the gut microbiota of H.otakii at three key time points during development.The gut microbial div

Multiple time points of transcriptome analysis revealed altered genes involved in maintaining hibernation in the hypothalamus of Tamias sibiricus

Hibernation, an adaptive mechanism to extreme environmental conditions, is prevalent among mammals.Its main characteristics include reduced body temperature and metabolic rate.However, the mechanisms by which hibernating animals re-enter deep sleep during the euthermic phase to sustain hibernation remain poorly understood.We selected the Tamias sib
