NUMERICAL-EXPERIMENTAL PLASTIC-DAMAGE CHARACTERISATION OF ADDITIVELY MANUFACTURED 18NI300 MARAGING STEEL BY MEANS OF MULTIAXIAL DOUBLE-NOTCHED SPECIMENS

Numerical-Experimental Plastic-Damage Characterisation of Additively Manufactured 18Ni300 Maraging Steel by Means of Multiaxial Double-Notched Specimens

Additive manufacturing (AM) has become a viable option for producing structural parts with a high degree of geometrical complexity.Despite such trend, accurate material properties, under diversified testing conditions, are scarce or practically knits non-existent for the most recent additively manufactured (AMed) materials.Such data gap may comprom

Convergent evolution of SWS2 opsin facilitates adaptive radiation of threespine stickleback into different light environments.

Repeated adaptation to a new environment often leads to convergent phenotypic changes whose underlying genetic mechanisms are rarely known.Here, we study adaptation of color vision in threespine stickleback during the repeated postglacial colonization of clearwater and blackwater lakes in the Haida Gwaii archipelago.We use whole genomes from 16 cle

Classical biological control against insect pests in Europe, North Africa, and the Middle East: What influences its success?

Many factors can affect the success and failure of classical biological control.However, these factors have mainly been studied independently of each other, which leaves their relative importance within the complexity of classical biological control (CBC) programmes unknown.Therefore, we set out to take a more holistic view on the factors that may

Hermetic effect of Moringa oleifera leaf extract mitigates salinity stress in maize by modulating photosynthetic efficiency, and antioxidant activities

Salinity poses a significant constraint to cereal productivity particularly in arid and semiarid regions.The application of allelochemical has shown promising results in mitigating the intensity of abiotic stresses.A pot experiment was conducted to assess the efficacy of different concentrations of aqueous allelopathic extract derived from moringa
