The martensitic transformation and superelasticity of TiNi shape memory alloy heat-treatment at different temperatures were investigated. The experimental results show that the microstructures of as-cast and heat-treated (723 K) Ni-rich TiNi samples prepared by rapidly-solidified technology are composed of B2 TiNi phase, and TiNi and TiNi phases; the microstructures of heat-treated TiNi samples at 773 and 823 K are composed of B2 TiNi phase, and of B2 TiNi and TiNi phases, respectively. The martensitic transformation of as-cast TiNi alloy is three-stage, A→R→M and R→M transformation during cooling, and two-stage, M→R→A transformation during heating. The transformations of the heat-treated TiNi samples at 723 and 823 K are the A↔R↔M/A↔M transformation during cooling/heating, respectively. For the heat-treated alloy at 773 K, the transformations are the A→R/M→R→A during cooling/heating, respectively. For the heat-treated alloy at 773 K, only a small thermal hysteresis is suitable for sensor devices. The stable values of 723 and 773 K heat-treated samples with a large value exhibit high safety in application. The 773 and 823 K heat-treated samples have large stable strain-energy densities, and are a good superelastic alloy. The experimental data obtained provide a valuable reference for the industrial application of rapidly-solidified casting and heat-treated TiNi alloy.

Ti6Al4V/Inconel 718 composites were prepared using arc additive manufacturing technology at different deposition currents. The properties of the composites directly influence the performance of the gradient materials, while heat input further affects the composites' properties. The results indicate that at a deposition current of 35 A, Ti elements diffuse into the Inconel 718 alloy.

For years, the treatment of many cardiomyopathies has been solely focused on symptom management. However, cardiomyopathies have a genetic substrate, and directing therapy towards the pathophysiology rather than the epiphenomenon of the disease may be a winning strategy. Gene therapy involves the insertion of genes or the modification of existing ones and their regulatory elements through strategies like gene replacement and gene editing.

Ring size effects on geometries and electronic structures were investigated for the (C H )M(C H ) ( = 4, 5, or 6; = 8, 7, or 6; + = 12; M = Ti-Ni) systems using density functional theory. The lowest-energy CHM structures for the early transition metals titanium, vanadium, and chromium are the experimentally known singlet (η-CH)Ti(η-CH), doublet (η-CH)V(η-CH), and singlet (η-CH)Cr, respectively. The likewise experimentally known singlet (η-CH)Ti, doublet (η-CH)V, and singlet (η-CH)Cr(η-CH) are the second-lowest-energy structures with only a small energy difference between the two vanadium structures.

Article Synopsis
- The study analyzed changes in electrocardiographic (ECG) characteristics in patients with different types of cardiac amyloidosis (AL, ATTRv, and ATTRwt) and looked at their predictive value for patient outcomes.
- In a large sample of 356 patients, it was found that those with ATTRwt had more conduction issues, while AL patients exhibited more signs of low QRS voltage and T wave inversion.
- Overall, the ECG abnormalities progressed similarly in all subtypes, but a longer QRS duration at baseline was associated with worse survival, indicating it could be a potential marker for advanced disease.
