High-temperature tensile tests were developed to explore the flow features of an Al-Zn-Mg-Cu alloy. The fracture characteristics and microstructural evolution mechanisms were thoroughly revealed. The results demonstrated that both intergranular fractures and ductile fractures occurred, which affected the hot tensile fracture mechanism.

- Increasing atmospheric nitrogen (N) deposition from pollution and land-use changes is negatively impacting biogeochemical cycles, particularly affecting vulnerable epiphytic bryophytes in subtropical montane cloud forests.
- A 2-year field experiment revealed that N additions at levels of 7.4 kg/ha/year led to significant declines in bryophyte cover, biomass, and photosynthesis, suggesting a critical load (CL) of around 18 kg N/ha/year for these species.
- The decline is attributed to disrupted cellular carbon metabolism, including inhibited photosynthesis and nutrient leakage, pointing to the detrimental effects of N pollution on bryophyte communities and overall ecosystem health.
Danshen (Chinese medicinal herb) preparations for acute myocardial infarction.
Cochrane Database Syst Rev
April 2008
Background: Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is the most important cause of morbidity from ischaemic heart disease, and is among the leading causes of death in the western world. Danshen, a Chinese herbal medicine, is widely used in China for treatment of several diseases, including AMI.
Objectives: To assess the effects (both benefits and harms) of danshen preparations for AMI.
