Effect of stress on initiation and propagation of localized corrosion in alumninium alloys
… alloy AA2024 is susceptible to localized corrosion in the form of pitting and intergranular corrosion (IGC). The corrosion behaviour of this alloy is strongly influenced by the presence of different intermetallic particles. In this study, the effect of applied stress and the role of intermetallic …

Physiological response to three environmental stressors predicts fitness and genome quality but not base substitution rate in caenorhabditis elegans
<p>"Since DNA mutations occur all the time and may have deleterious effects on fitness (survival and reproduction), organisms expend substantial metabolic resources to find and repair mutations. This metabolic expenditure is termed the cost of fidelity. If an organism is in "poor" condition and …
