3D PRINTING WITH MIXED POWDERS OF BORON CARBIDE AND AL ALLOY

3D Printing with Mixed Powders of Boron Carbide and Al Alloy

Laser additive manufacturing with mixed powders of boron carbide and aluminum alloy is investigated.Parameters such as laser power, Fridge Door Shelf Cover scan speed, scan pattern, and hatching space are systematically evaluated and optimized to obtain the desired density and porosity.These results show that the AM part contains 20 wt% boron carbi

FOXO regulates the expression of antimicrobial peptides and promotes phagocytosis of hemocytes in shrimp antibacterial immunity.

Invertebrates rely on innate immunity, including humoral and cellular immunity, to resist pathogenic infection.Previous studies showed that forkhead box transcription factor O (FOXO) participates in mucosal immune responses of mammals and the gut humoral immune regulation of invertebrates.However, whether FOXO is involved in systemic and cellular i

Behavioural Indicators of Intra- and Inter-Specific Competition: Sheep Co-Grazing with Guanaco in the Patagonian Steppe

In extensive livestock production, high densities may inhibit regulation processes, maintaining high levels of intraspecific competition over time.During competition, Lithium Ion Vacuum Battery individuals typically modify their behaviours, particularly feeding and bite rates, which can therefore be used as indicators of competition.Over eight cons
