Thermal management technology is a major challenge in high-end equipment. The demand for high-efficiency heat sinks has increased. In this study, a controllable aspect ratio (AR) fractal channel (CARFC) heat sink is proposed to enhance thermal performance. First, a parameterized modeling method for the CARFC is constructed. Fractal networks are constructed using control points and bifurcation points. The geometric size of each level channel is determined by considering the AR of each level channel. A mathematical relationship is established between the two parts. Under constant heat flow boundary, the effect of aspect ratio on the fractal channel performance is studied by numerical simulation. The influence of the inlet AR on the performance of the fractal channels is studied. Then, the impact of the AR of each level channel on the performance of the CARFC is studied. The results show that the AR of the inlet has an obvious effect on the performance of the fractal channel. The CARFC results show that the AR of each level channel influences the thermal performance of the heat sink, especially the aspect ratio k0 and k1. Compared with only changing the aspect ratio of the inlet, the CARFC has better performance; the peak temperature and temperature difference are reduced by 9.62% and 26.57%, respectively. The CARFC requires less coolant to meet the same thermal demand, which is of great significance in the development of lightweight equipment.

Allergies are closely associated with sex-related hormonal variations that influence immune function, leading to distinct symptom profiles. Similar sex-based differences are observed in other immune disorders, such as autoimmune diseases. In allergies, women exhibit a higher prevalence of atopic conditions, such as allergic asthma and eczema, in comparison to men.

Objective: The 2-fold objective of this research is to investigate machine learning's (ML) predictive value for the incidence of depression among China's older adult population and to determine the noteworthy aspects resulting in depression.
Methods: This research selected 7,880 older adult people by utilizing data from the 2020 China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study. Thereafter, the dataset was classified into training and testing sets at a 6:4 ratio.
This study examines the intricate area of refractory-based high entropy alloys (RHEAs), focusing on a series of complex compositions involving nine diverse refractory elements: Ti, V, Cr, Zr, Nb, Mo, Hf, Ta, and W. We investigate the phase stability, bonding interactions, electronic structures, lattice distortions, mechanical, and thermal properties of six RHEAs with varying elemental ratios using VASP and OLCAO DFT calculations. Through comprehensive analysis, we investigate the impact of elemental variations on the electronic structure, interacting bond dynamics, lattice distortion, thermodynamic, mechanical, and thermal properties within these RHEAs, providing an insight into how these specific elemental variations in composition give rise to changes in the calculated properties in ways that would guide future experimental and computational efforts.

The impact of the laser wavelength on accuracy in elemental composition analysis in atom probe tomography (APT) was investigated. Three different commercial atom probe systems - LEAP 3000X HR, LEAP 5000 XR, and LEAP 6000 XR - were systematically compared for a TiN model coating studying the effect of shorter laser wavelengths, especially in the deep ultraviolet (DUV) range, on the evaporation behavior. The findings demonstrate that the use of shorter wavelengths enhances the accuracy in elemental composition, while maintaining similar electric field strengths.

Coastal deoxygenation poses a critical threat to tropical coral reefs. Dissolved oxygen (DO) depletion can cause hypoxia-induced stress and mortality for scleractinian corals. Coral hypoxic responses are species-specific and likely modulated by the duration and severity of low-DO conditions, although the physiological mechanisms driving hypoxia tolerance are not fully understood.
