Directed energy deposition (DED) additive manufacturing (AM) enables the production of components at a high deposition rate. For certain alloys, interpass temperature requirements are imposed to control heat accumulation and microstructure transformation, as well as to minimize distortion under vary...

Plant functional groups enable us to understand the ecological adaptation strategies of plants to changes in the external environment and resources at a higher scale. The variations of plant functional traits are the keys to analyzing the response mechanisms of plants to environmental changes. Here,...

The microstructural evolution of Ti–Mo alloys via thermohydrogen treatment and the orientation relationships (ORs) between δ-hydride precipitates and the α-phase were investigated. Results indicated that increasing Mo and hydrogen content elevate the β-phase volume fraction while reducing twin densi...

Due to the complex terrain and topographical constraints of the Loess Plateau, flat land suitable for engineering construction is extremely limited. To address this issue, filling gullies and leveling land has become a common solution, resulting in the widespread use of loess fill slopes across nume...

The poor condition of the Citarum River demands more significant pollution control. One alternative for controlling pollution can be limiting the amount of wastewater entering one of the tributaries of the Citarum River, namely the Cikakembang River. This study is a follow-up study that will model h...
