Evolution of iron-rich intermetallics and its effect on the mechanical properties of Al–Cu–Mn–Fe–Si alloys after thermal exposure and high-temperature tensile testing

Si addition is commonly used to modify the iron-rich intermetallics in Al–Cu–Mn–Fe alloys, which is beneficial to increasing the use of recycled aluminum. Most of the available research has focused on the effect of Si content on the room-temperature mechanical properties of Al–Cu–Mn–Fe alloys. To expand the application of Al–Cu–Mn–Fe–Si alloys as light heat-resistant structural components in the automotive and aerospace industries, it is of great importance to investigate the evolution of iron-rich intermetallics and its effect on the fracture behavior of Al–Cu–Mn–Fe–Si alloys after thermal exposure and high-temperature tensile testing. In this work, the evolution of iron-rich intermetallics and the high-temperature mechanical properties of heat-treated Al-6.5Cu-0.6Mn-0.5Fe alloys with different Si contents after thermal exposure and high-temperature tensile testing were assessed by tensile tests, image analysis, scanning electron microscopy, X-Ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, and atomic probe tomography. The results indicate that the Al-6.5Cu-0.6Mn-0.5Fe alloys with 0.1Si and 0.5Si additions have excellent and stable high-temperature mechanical properties after long thermal exposure, which are better than those of most heat-resistant Al alloys. The high performance of the high-temperature mechanical properties is attributed to the high heat resistance of secondary intermetallics and precipitated particles. The addition of Si is detrimental to the strength of Al-6.5Cu-0.6Mn-0.5Fe alloys after long thermal exposure. This can be attributed to the solid-state phase transformation of iron-rich intermetallics from α-Fe to β-Fe, which results in the increase of needle-like Fe-rich phases and Si particles, the agglomeration of secondary intermetallics, and the consumption of Al$_{2}$Cu phases

The spread of intangible cultural heritage in the rural agricultural environment of modern China under the epidemic economic environment

In the rural agricultural environment, intangible cultural heritage has proved to be a resilient and essential component of community identity and well-being, especially in the face of the challenges posed by the epidemic economic environment. The preservation and celebration of intangible cultural practices, such as traditional agricultural methods, local festivals, and folk arts, provide opportunities for community connection, pride, and economic development despite the economic recession. The current financial crisis threatens China's rural agricultural communities' intangible cultural assets and long-term viability. Using awareness (as a mediator) and access to resources (as a moderator), this study examines how the expansion of intangible cultural assets and the rural agricultural environment affects preservation and sustainability in modern China's rural agricultural environments during the economic epidemic. A simple random sampling technique was used to collect information from 430 participants. Smart-PLS was employed to assess the dependability of data and the relationship between factors. The results indicate that disseminating intangible cultural heritage and the rural agricultural environment is advantageous to preserving intangible cultural heritage and the viability of rural communities. Moreover, resource access regulates and modulates this link. According to the study, increasing awareness and providing access to resources can help rural communities preserve intangible cultural assets and nurture long-term development.Xuanyi Wu (Ph.D. candidate, Universiti Putra Malaysia, Faculty of Modern Languages and Communication), Megat Al Imran Yasin (TS.

Pt nanoparticles decorated rose-like Bi2O2CO3 configurations for efficient photocatalytic removal of water organic pollutants

Pt nanoparticles decorated with rose-like Bi2O2CO3 configurations were synthesized via a simple photoreduction method at room temperature. The structure, morphology, optical and electronic properties, and photocatalytic performance of the as-prepared materials were characterized. Compared to pure Bi2O2CO3, the Pt/Bi2O2CO3 photocatalysts show better performance in decomposing RhB, BPA and OTC under visible light (? > 420 nm). The enhanced photocatalytic activity of Pt/Bi2O2CO3 could be attributed to the modification in light absorption (? > 420 nm) charge migration and the separation of photo-generated electrons (e?) and holes (h+). Free radical trapping experiments demonstrated that the main active species of the catalytic reaction are different in decomposing RhB and BPA.publishersversionPeer reviewe

An Empirical Analysis of Trust, Perceived Benefit, and Purchase Intention in C2C Electronic Commerce in China

With the popularity and development of the internet, China's consumer-to-consumer (C2C) electronic commerce (EC) system is favored by consumers. Therefore, understanding the relationship among consumers' trust, perceived benefits (PBs), and purchase intentions (PIs) is of great significance for studying this system. This article proposes the hypothesis of the interaction among the three and designs a questionnaire to explain the application of trust, PB, and PI in China's C2C EC system. The relationship between the sample structure and the variables is analyzed using reliability, validity, correlation, and regression analysis (RA). The experimental analysis results show that the questionnaire's reliability and validity values are higher than 0.8 and 0.75, respectively, indicating that the questionnaire design is qualified, and the data are valid. The rationality of the hypothesis proposed here is verified through correlation analysis and RA. This indicates a significant mutual influence relationship among trust, PB, and PI

Thyroid function and epilepsy: a two-sample Mendelian randomization study

BackgroundThyroid hormones (THs) play a crucial role in regulating various biological processes, particularly the normal development and functioning of the central nervous system (CNS). Epilepsy is a prevalent neurological disorder with multiple etiologies. Further in-depth research on the role of thyroid hormones in epilepsy is warranted.MethodsGenome-wide association study (GWAS) data for thyroid function and epilepsy were obtained from the ThyroidOmics Consortium and the International League Against Epilepsy (ILAE) Consortium cohort, respectively. A total of five indicators of thyroid function and ten types of epilepsy were included in the analysis. Two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) analyses were conducted to investigate potential causal relations between thyroid functions and various epilepsies. Multiple testing correction was performed using Bonferroni correction. Heterogeneity was calculated with the Cochran’s Q statistic test. Horizontal pleiotropy was evaluated by the MR-Egger regression intercept. The sensitivity was also examined by leave-one-out strategy.ResultsThe findings indicated the absence of any causal relationship between abnormalities in thyroid hormone and various types of epilepsy. The study analyzed the odds ratio (OR) between thyroid hormones and various types of epilepsy in five scenarios, including free thyroxine (FT4) on focal epilepsy with hippocampal sclerosis (IVW, OR = 0.9838, p = 0.02223), hyperthyroidism on juvenile absence epilepsy (IVW, OR = 0.9952, p = 0.03777), hypothyroidism on focal epilepsy with hippocampal sclerosis (IVW, OR = 1.0075, p = 0.01951), autoimmune thyroid diseases (AITDs) on generalized epilepsy in all documented cases (weighted mode, OR = 1.0846, p = 0.0346) and on childhood absence epilepsy (IVW, OR = 1.0050, p = 0.04555). After Bonferroni correction, none of the above results showed statistically significant differences.ConclusionThis study indicates that there is no causal relationship between thyroid-related disorders and various types of epilepsy. Future research should aim to avoid potential confounding factors that might impact the study

Review of the role and potential clinical value of m6A methylation modifications in the biological process of osteosarcoma

Osteosarcoma (OS), an aggressive bone tumor, is a substantial threat to the quality of life and survival of affected individuals. Despite recent improvements in OS therapies, the considerable variability and chemotherapy resistance of this cancer necessitate continuous research to discover new treatment targets and biomarkers. Recent epigenetic advances highlight the crucial role of N6-methyladenosine (m6A) methylation in cancer. In OS, m6A methylation has been demonstrated to be a pivotal component in the pathogenesis. This review introduces new findings regarding the association between m6A methylation regulators and OS, and summarizes the potential clinical applications of OS and m6A methylation regulators, including the role of m6A methylation in OS proliferation, growth, apoptosis, and cell migration, invasion, and metastasis; relationship between m6A methylation and OS chemotherapy resistance; and relationship between m6A methylation and OS prognosis. Our review had certain limitations. The interaction between m6A methylation regulators and other oncogenic factors, such as lncRNAs and ncRNAs, is not fully understood. We hope that these potential methods will be translated into clinical applications and effective treatment
