Reinitiation of modern-style plate tectonics in the Early Neoproterozoic: evidence from a ∼930 Ma blueschist-facies terrane in South China by Wu, L-G, Chen, Y, Palin, RM, Li, Q-L, Zhao, L, Li, Y-B, Li, C-F, Li, Y-L, Li, X-H

“…Peak pressure–temperature conditions of ∼425–475 ℃ and ∼0.8–1.1 GPa recorded by these units represent an average geothermal gradient of ∼14 ℃/km, characteristic of cold subduction zones. Available geologic and geochronologic constraints indicate that the Tianli Schist protolith was deposited in the southeast margin of the Yangtze Block and subsequently experienced blueschist-facies metamorphism during ocean closure at ∼930 Ma. …”

Evolutionary shifts in the thermal biology of a subterranean mammal: the effect of habitat aridity by Merchant, H, Hart, D, Bennett, N, Janse van Vuuren, A, Freeman, M, McKechnie, A, Faulkes, C, Mordaunt, N, Portugal, SJ

“…This study examined the thermal physiological adaptations of common mole-rats (Cryptomys hottentotus hottentotus) across five populations along an aridity gradient, challenging the expectation that increased aridity would lead to reduced metabolic rate (MR), lower body temperatures (Tb), and broader thermoneutral zones (TNZ). Contrary to predictions, no significant, consistent differences in MR, Tb, or thermal conductance were observed between populations, suggesting uniform thermoregulatory mechanisms across habitats. …”

Long-term slip rate of the southern San Andreas Fault from 10Be-26Al surface exposure dating of an offset alluvial fan by Ryerson, Frederick J., Van der Woerd, Jérôme, Klinger, Yann, Sieh, Kerry, Tapponnier, Paul, Mériaux, Anne-Sophie

Topography-incorporated adjoint-state surface wave Traveltime tomography: method and a case study in Hawaii by Hao, Shijie, Chen, Jing, Xu, Mijian, Tong, Ping

“…Our results reveal features that are consistent with geological structures and previous tomography results, including high velocities below Mauna Loa Volcano and Kilauea Volcano, and low velocities beneath the Hilina Fault Zone. Additionally, our model reveals a high-velocity anomaly to the South of Hualalai's summit, which may be related to a buried rift zone. …”

Near-Field Antenna Measurements : Calculations and Facility Design / by Kalashnikov, Vadim Serafimovich, author 643223, Ponomarev, Maxim Yurievich, author 643225, Platonov, Oleg Yurievich, author 643226, Shubnikov, Victor Vasilievich, author 643227, Rivkin, Mark Ilyich, author 643228, Shatrakov, Artem Yurievich, author 643229, Shatrakov, I͡U. G. (I͡Uriĭ Grigorʹevich), author 643230, Zavalishin, Oleg Ivanovich, author 643231

“…This book is useful both for those who want to get initial information on the measurement of the antenna parameters, and for specialists directly involved in the experimental determination of the antenna parameters from the results of measuring the amplitude-phase distribution in the near zone of the antennas. Currently, the near-field method is the most common one for antenna measurements. …”

Surface bacterium disinfection using everlight 6565 UV-C SMD. by Tan, Tian Swee, Sheikh, Jahanzeb, Saidin, Syafiqah, Ahmed Malik, Sameen, Lee, Suan Chua, Matthias, Tiong Foh Thye, Leong, Kah Meng, Jia, Hou Tan

“…In this study, the effectiveness of Everlight’s 275 nm Ultraviolet-C surface mounted device (UVC-SMD) to disinfect Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) was investigated at three exposure durations (10, 30 and 60 s) for a standard distance of 5 cm. The inhibition zones were greater with the increment of exposure duration. …”

A Proposed Framework of Unemployment and Youth Restiveness in the North-Eastern Nigeria: Exloring the Role of the “Almajiri” Culture by Abbo, Usman, Romle, Abd Rahim

“…More so as unemployment in Nigeria increase by 16% from 2011 to 2013 representing 39.9%, with youth unemployment representing 50% of this, where the north-eastern region continue to manifest the worst poverty rate compare to the other five geo-political zones couple with the existence of about 10 million “Almajiris” in the entire northern region which is much more than the total population of Sweden and the result of several investigation panels revealing the involvement of “Almajiri” in most of the violence occurring in the northern region from 1980 to 2010, where the vulnerability of the “Almajiri” due to abject poverty makes them a tool for unleashing violence by some unscrupulouselements. …”
