Dislocation-precipitate interaction and β'' deformation in Al–Mg–Si alloys: Ex-situ TEM stretching and molecular dynamics simulations by Hong Mao, Qingtao Liang, Zheng Deng, Mingjun Yang, Xiaoyu Zheng, Jiaming Liu, Xiaohong Zhang, Hongzhi Zhou, Min Hu, Yong Du

“…It is found that as the critical bending angle increases, the CRSS gradually decreases when the synchronized-complete-shear overcoming mechanism dominates, whereas the CRSS increases linearly with the critical bending angle when the dislocation-segmentation-shear overcoming mechanism dominates, suggesting that the extended precipitate phase pose a greater obstacle to dislocation motion.…”

Using optimization tools to explore stratospheric aerosol injection strategies by E. Brody, Y. Zhang, D. G. MacMartin, D. Visioni, B. Kravitz, B. Kravitz, E. M. Bednarz, E. M. Bednarz, E. M. Bednarz

“…Herein we use existing climate model simulations of the response to injection at seven different latitudes and apply optimization tools to explore the limitations and trade-offs when designing strategies that combine injection across these latitudes. This relies on linearity being a sufficiently good assumption, which we first validate. …”

Development of gas chromatography-mass spectrometry detection procedure to determine fatty acids in special formula milk powder by Ning Wang, Xiaoqing Shao, Mengyao Huang, Cunfang Wang, Hua Jiang, Xiaoning Zhang

“…The results showed that ultrasound-assisted lipid extraction in the solution state, methyl esterification of the fatty acids with the solution of sodium methoxide in methanol, a defined GC-MS temperature program, and a split ratio of 10:1 gave the best results. The linearity (correlation coefficients: 0.995 9–0.999 7), precision (relative standard deviation (RSD): 0.41%–3.36%), stability (RSD: 1.01%–4.91%), repeatability (RSD: 1.02%–3.81%), and spiked recovery rate (90.03%–107.76%) of the proposed method were confirmed to meet the detection requirements. …”
