Tamoxifen-induced alterations in the expression of connexin 43 in the chicken ovary.

Connexin 43 (Cx43) is a gap junction protein that participates in small molecule exchange between adjacent cells. It is a predominant Cx within the mammalian ovary, where is associated with proper follicle development. The expression and regulation of Cx43 in the chicken ovary is largely unknown.

Crystal Plasticity Parameter Optimization in Cyclically Deformed Electrodeposited Copper-A Machine Learning Approach.

This paper describes an application of a machine learning approach for parameter optimization. The method is demonstrated for the elasto-viscoplastic model with both isotropic and kinematic hardening. It is shown that the proposed method based on long short-term memory networks allowed a reasonable agreement of stress-strain curves to be obtained for cyclic deformation in a low-cycle fatigue regime.

Materials Informatics for Mechanical Deformation: A Review of Applications and Challenges.

In the design and development of novel materials that have excellent mechanical properties, classification and regression methods have been diversely used across mechanical deformation simulations or experiments. The use of materials informatics methods on large data that originate in experiments or/and multiscale modeling simulations may accelerate materials' discovery or develop new understanding of materials' behavior. In this fast-growing field, we focus on reviewing advances at the intersection of data science with mechanical deformation simulations and experiments, with a particular focus on studies of metals and alloys.
