The fatigue behavior of bolted joints is critical to failure for many applications due to the high notch effect.Among other parameters, the lifetime is based on the influence of the surface system, consisting of corrosion protection and lubricant.With the intention of considering the surface system in the design and dimensioning process of bolted j
Analogs of the high-T_{c} cuprates have been long sought after in transition metal oxides.Because of the strong spin-orbit coupling, the 5d perovskite iridates Sr_{2}IrO_{4} exhibit a low-energy electronic structure remarkably similar to the cuprates.Whether a superconducting state exists as in the cuprates requires understanding the correlated spi
Abstract The mechanisms underlying polyandry and female mate choice in certain taxonomic groups arcade smokey the bear belt remain widely debated.In elasmobranchs, several species have shown varying rates of polyandry based on genetic studies of multiple paternity (MP).We investigated MP in the finetooth shark, Carcharhinus isodon, in order to dire
BackgroundEmerging research indicates that gut microbiota (GM) are pivotal in the regulation of immune-mediated bone diseases.Nonunion, a bone metabolic disorder, has an unclear causal relationship with GM and immune cells.This study aims to elucidate the causal relationship between GM and nonunion using Mendelian Randomization (MR) and to explore
