Incoherent twin boundaries (ITBs) are widespread and play a crucial role in unidirectional deformation behavior of materials, however, the intrinsic role of individual ITB under cyclic loading remains elusive. Here we show the fatigue cracking behavior of Cu bicrystal with an ITB as its sole interface for the first time. The slip bands (SBs) could transfer through the ITB; meanwhile, the ITB co...

normal 0 false false false en-us x-none ar-sa background: the relation between vitamin d deficiency with depressive and fatigue symptoms in both multiple sclerosis (ms) patients and healthy population have been reported. to represent our regional achievement in this field we investigated the relation between vitamin d status with fatigue and depressive symptoms in ms patients. materials and met...

The behavior of small-volume (so-called ‘nano’) structures, where size-scales are comparable with microstructural dimensions, and biological/bio-implantable materials, which invariably display a hierarchy of structural dimensions, is currently much in vogue in materials science. One aspect of this field, which to date has received only limited attention, is the fracture and fatigue properties o...

Aims: One of the side effects of chemotherapy is fatigue. This study was carried out with the aim of determining the effect of intervention based on 5A self-management model on the fatigue severity of patients with cancer under chemotherapy. Materials and Methods: In this randomized clinical trial conducted in 2016, 48 patients with cancer under chemotherapy, who were referred to Chemotherapy ...
