Thermal Processing Map and Microstructure Evolution of Inconel 625 Alloy Sheet Based on Plane Strain Compression Deformation.

Plane strain compression tests were used to study the deformation behavior of an Inconel 625 alloy sheet at various temperatures and strain rates. The peak stress was selected to establish the constitutive equation, and the processing maps under different strains were drawn. The results show that the effective stress-strain curve of Inconel 625 has typical dynamic recrystallization (DRX) characteristics.

The effect of dabigatran on thrombin generation and coagulation assays in rabbit and human plasma.

Objectives: Dabigatran etexilate is widely used for stroke prevention in the patients with atrial fibrillation. The anticoagulation activity of dabigatran is not necessary monitored in routine clinical practice. We aimed to study the effect of dabigatran on thrombin generation (TG) and coagulation assays in rabbit and human plasma.

A 9-nucleotide Ins/Del in ADRA2B modulates orientation of attention to facial expressions and emotional words.

Norepinephrine is involved in the arousal of attention and the treatment of affective disorders. Therefore, we hypothesized that adrenergic receptors underpinned individual differences in attention regulation and emotional processes of healthy populations. Here, we investigated to what extent the expression of ADRA2B, an adrenergic receptor, modulated attention regulation and emotional processes.

Genetic variations in COMT and DRD2 modulate attentional bias for affective facial expressions.

Studies have revealed that catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT) and dopaminegic receptor2 (DRD2) modulate human attention bias for palatable food or tobacco. However, the existing evidence about the modulations of COMT and DRD2 on attentional bias for facial expressions was still limited. In the study, 650 college students were genotyped with regard to COMT Val158Met and DRD2 TaqI A polymorphisms, and the attentional bias for facial expressions was assessed using the spatial cueing task.

Effect of Val66Met polymorphism in BDNF on attentional bias in an extroverted Chinese Han population.

Studies have indicated that a functional polymorphism (Val66Met) in a brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) gene can influences human cognitive functions and mood disorders. In this study, we examined associations of BDNF Val66Met with attentional bias and personality in an unaffected population. The results showed that BDNF Val66Met was significantly associated with attentional disengagement for positive cueing words in extraverts.

The effects of DBH, MAOA, and MAOB on attentional biases for facial expressions.

Attentional bias is the interaction that occurs between emotion and attention. Monoamine oxidase and dopamine β-hydroxylase are involved in the balances of neurotransmitters in the cortex. Much evidence has shown that those enzymes play important roles in human emotion and attention.
