High-strength lightweight Al-based composites are promising materials for a wide range of applications. To provide high performance, a strong bonding interface for effective load transfer from the matrix to the reinforcement is essential. In this work, the novel AlBC reinforced Al composites have been in situ fabricated through a liquid-solid reaction method and the bonding interface between AlBC and Al matrix has been unveiled. The HRTEM characterizations on the AlBC/Al interface verify it to be a semicoherent bonding structure with definite orientation relationships: (0001)//(11̅1);[112̅0]//[011]. Periodic arrays of geometrical misfit dislocations are also observed along the interface at each (0001) plane or every five (11̅1) planes. This kind of interface between the reinforcement and the matrix is strong enough for effective load transfer, which would lead to the evidently improved strength and stiffness of the introduced new AlBC/Al composites.

Ice interfaces are pivotal in mediating key chemical and physical processes such as heterogeneous chemical reactions in the environment, ice nucleation, and cloud microphysics. At the ice surface, water molecules form a quasi-liquid layer (QLL) with properties distinct from those of the bulk. Despite numerous experimental and theoretical studies, a molecular-level understanding of the QLL has remained elusive.

In the frame of the inner-outer (personal-social) dichotomy in theories of social or personality psychology, it is argued in this study that, as a new approach, it is reasonable to examine individual differences in tending to orient toward another outer facet, not just social, i.e., the surrounding socio-physical environment while defining the self-concept-first performing it at the level of place-scaled meaningful settings, thus, interpreting place identity in the context of identity orientations.

Introduction And Objectives: International guidelines for the diagnosis of Hypersensitivity Pneumonitis (HP) have improved the diagnostic standardization of this heterogeneous interstitial lung disease. Our goal was to determine how the final multidisciplinary discussion confidence level for suspected fibrotic HP (fHP) can be impacted by the application of different guidelines validated in this context.
Materials And Methods: Retrospective study including patients submitted to transbronchial lung cryobiopsy (TBLC) with a final multidisciplinary meeting diagnosis of fHP.
The aim of inclusive education is to provide a supportive space for students from every background. The theory of intersectionality suggests that multiple identities intersect within social spaces to construct specific positionalities. To support the heterogeneity of all students, there is a need to understand who is in our Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) courses and how we would go about assessing this.

A sexually transmitted bacterium, Mycoplasma genitalium has varying rates of reported resistance to macrolide and some fluoroquinolone group antimicrobials recommended for the treatment of its infections. It is currently recommended that the treatment of these must be planned according to macrolide resistance status. The aim of this study was to determine the presence of macrolide resistance associated mutations (MRM) and fluoroquinolone resistance associated mutations (QRM) in patients infected with M.
