The paper concerns the effect of annealing time and temperature on the properties of the nitride layer on X37CrMoV51 tool steel used in the extrusion aluminium industry. Samples made from X37CrMoV51 steel were hardened and tempered, and then nitrided at 530 °C. After nitriding, the samples were annealed in a furnace at 470 °C for 8 h, 12 h, 24 h, 30 h and 60 h, and additionally for 20 h at 270 °C. The samples were tested for structure, hardness and abrasion immediately after nitriding and again after annealing. It was found that annealing the nitrided samples leads to degradation of the nitride layer, accounting for the decrease of hardness. The annealing of the samples at 470 °C, over 12 h causes a decrease in mean hardness value from 1176 HV to 1103 HV, and annealing the samples over 30 h at this temperature leads to a decrease in hardness to 964 HV. The changes in nitrogen content in the white (compound) and diffusion layers and the resulting consequences of changes in phase composition and properties were evaluated. Annealing over 30 h at 470 °C caused the white layer to disappear and the average nitrogen content in the diffusion layer to decrease to the level of about 5-6 at%.

Plasma phosphorylated-tau 217 (p-tau217) is currently the most promising biomarkers for reliable detection of Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathology. Various p-tau217 assays have been developed, but their relative performance is unclear. We compared key plasma p-tau217 tests using cross-sectional and longitudinal measures of amyloid-β (Aβ)-PET, tau-PET, and cognition as outcomes, and benchmarked them against cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) biomarker tests.

Gene-by-environment (GxE) interactions, in which a genetic variant's phenotypic effect is condition specific, are fundamental for understanding fitness landscapes and evolution but have been difficult to identify at the single-nucleotide level. Although many condition-specific quantitative trait loci (QTLs) have been mapped, these typically contain numerous inconsequential variants in linkage, precluding understanding of the causal GxE variants. Here, we introduce BARcoded Cas9 retron precise parallel editing via homology (CRISPEY-BAR), a high-throughput precision genome editing strategy, and use it to map GxE interactions of naturally occurring genetic polymorphisms impacting yeast growth.

The phenotypic effect of any genetic variant can be altered by variation at other genomic loci. Known as epistasis, these genetic interactions shape the genotype-phenotype map of every species, yet their origins remain poorly understood. To investigate this, we employed high-throughput genome editing to measure the fitness effects of 1,826 naturally polymorphic variants in four strains of .

Context: Enterococci are known to cause life-threatening infections which are difficult to treat as the organism harbors innate resistance to many antibiotics and can amass resistance toward many others through plasmid-mediated genetic exchange.
Aims: The study evaluates the drug susceptibility profile of various Enterococcus species isolated from various patient specimens submitted for bacteriological analysis and check the incidence of aac(6') Ie-aph(2") Ia gene.
Setting And Design: This in vitro cross-sectional study was executed at bacteriology laboratory of a 470 bedded hospital in New Delhi.

Bunge (), a dioecious plant species, has been widely found in China. The female plants are more important than male plants in agricultural production, as their seeds can serve as an ideal feedstock for biodiesel. However, the sex of plants is hard to distinguish during the seedling stage due to the scarcity of available transcriptomic and genomic information.
