Elastic Constants and Related Properties of Ti4AC3 (A = Si, Au, Ir) MAX Phases: A Comparative First-Principles Study

MAX-phase materials exhibit metallic–ceramic properties. The Ti4AC3 (A = Si, Au, Ir) 413-type MAX phases are investigated here using systematic density functional theory to examine structural stability, elastic behavior, mechanical performance, thermal properties, and electronic...

Transcriptomic characteristics of plasma from Chinese ethnic minority patients with major depressive disorder

Ethnic and regional disparities have been observed in the diagnosis and treatment of psychiatric disorders. Our previous research revealed metabolic heterogeneity in plasma samples from ethnic minority patients with schizophrenia in Qiandongnan, China. In this study, individuals...

Smart Rubber Composites for Building Structure Monitoring: Laboratory Experiments and Molecular Simulations

Abstract Intelligent sensing technology offers great promise for structural health monitoring (SHM) of building structures. Nevertheless, conventional strain sensors suffer from fragility, low sensitivity, and limitations in real-time monitoring, which have hindered their widespr...
