A one-step mechanism for new twinning modes in magnesium and titanium alloys modelled by the obliquity correction of a (58 degrees, a+2b) prototype stretch twin

Cyril Cayron

The {11-22} and {11-26} twinning modes were recently discovered by Ostapovets et al. [Philos. Mag. (2017), 97, 1088-1101] and interpreted as {10-12}-{10-12} double twins formed by the simultaneous action of two twinning shears. Another interpretation is pr ...

High anxiety trait: A vulnerable phenotype for stress-induced depression

Maria del Carmen Sandi Perez, Meltem Weger

A great deal of research aims to identify risk factors related to individual vulnerability to develop stress-induced psychopathologies. Here, we summarize evidence that point at anxiety trait as a significant contributor to inter-individual differences in ...
