The use of a composite welded joint consisting of titanium and austenitic stainless steel metals is evidently a favourable selection for industrial applications employing the resistance spot welding (RSW) operation. Nevertheless, achieving a high-quality welded joint proved challenging owing to the properties of the diverse range of materials' used. To improve the quality of dissimilar welded joints, the welding parameters should be selected precisely.

We utilised trial data covering 1993-2022 from the National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR) Open Data Platform, 2011 and 2021 English Census and geographic data and English individual-patient cancer registry data for patients diagnosed with lymphoma between 1997 and 2017. To assess representation, we compared patient age and sex between trial participants and the incident population.

This study aimed to identify factors associated with unplanned healthcare usage among children with IBD in a rural, medically underserved region in the southeastern United States.
Methods: In this retrospective cohort study, we analyzed children (<18 years) with moderate or severe IBD followed at an academic pediatric gastroenterology clinic between 2016 and 2021.

Herein, we report a trifunctional electrocatalyst (CrCo/CoN@CNT-5), synthesized at low calcination temperature (550 °C), which consists of Co-N single atom and CrCo alloy nanoparticles and exhibits outstanding electrocatalytic performance for the hydrogen evolution reaction, oxygen evolution reaction, and oxygen reduction reaction. The catalyst is able to deliver a current density of 10 mA cm in an alkaline electrolytic cell at a very low cell voltage of ∼1.
