Influence of stress ratio on residual stress evolution near cold-expanded hole due to low-cycle fatigue by crack compliance data by Andrey Chernov, Sviatoslav Eleonsky, Vladimir Pisarev

“…Residual SIF values, obtained at different stage of low-cycle fatigue with the same stress range Δσ  = 350 MPa but different stress  R = –0.4 and  R = –1.0, provide quantitative description of residual stress evolution near cold-expanded hole. It shown that maximal residual stress relaxation of order 20 per cent occurs at 95 lifetime per cent for both loading programs.…”

Step-by-step combination of 99mTc and ICG with endoscopic near infrared cameras in SLN mapping early-stage vulvar cancer by A. Rafael Guijarro-Campillo, Pablo Padilla-Iserte, Víctor Lago, Raquel Quintana-Bertó, Marta Arnáez-De La Cruz, Aníbal Nieto, Santiago Domingo Del Pozo

“…However, protocols for ICG use remain heterogeneous, and the optimal protocol is yet to be defined [5,6].This video article presents a stepwise demonstration of the SLN mapping technique using a combination of radioactive 99 m-Tc and ICG with endoscopic near-infrared (NIR) cameras in two cases. A 52-year-old woman diagnosed with T1 vulvar cancer, with no extravulvar disease, was scheduled for wide local tumor excision and bilateral inguinal SLN biopsy. …”

Near telomere-to-telomere genome assemblies of Silkie Gallus gallus and Mallard Anas platyrhynchos restored the structure of chromosomes and “missing” genes in birds by Qiangsen Zhao, Zhongtao Yin, Zhuocheng Hou

“…Finally, we recovered 325 missing genes via our new genomes and annotated TNFA in Mallard for the first time, revealing conserved protein structures and tissue-specific expression. Conclusions The near telomere-to-telomere assemblies in Mallard and Silkie, with the first gap-free sex chromosomes in ducks, significantly enhanced our understanding of genetic structures in birds, specifically highlighting the distinctive chromosome features between the chicken and duck genomes. …”
