The Taverna San Felice Dike (NE of Roccamonfina Volcano): Unraveling Magmatic Intrusion Processes and Volcano‐Tectonics in the Tyrrhenian Margin of the Southern Apennines by Jacopo Natale, Stefano Vitale, Guido Giordano, Lorenzo Fedele, Federico Lucci, Alessandro Vona, Ernesto Paolo Prinzi, Francesco D’Assisi Tramparulo, Roberto Isaia, Sabatino Ciarcia

“…Along its polyphase volcanic history (630–55 ka), including several caldera‐forming eruptions (385–230 ka), several effusive/mildly explosive monogenetic events occurred along the volcano slopes, within the summit caldera, and along the graben‐bounding carbonate reliefs. In this paper, we present a multidisciplinary study of a mafic magmatic feeder dike intruded within the Meso‐Tertiary carbonates and overlying Lower Pleistocene breccias of Mt Cesima, northeast of the Roccamonfina volcano. …”

Electrochemical and Chemical Mechanisms of the Erosion-Corrosion Process of Wet-Steam Turbine Rotor Blades Destruction Under the Influence of Electrified Moisture by Anatolii O. Tarelin, Viktor L. Shvetsov, Volodymyr H. Mykhailenko, Andrii V. Nechaiev, Oleksandr Ye. Khinievich

“…To test the hypothesis about the similarity between the process of anodic electro-etching and the process of surface destruction under the influence of negatively-charged droplets, an electrochemical experiment was carried out on a model sample of 20X13 chromium steel. The reliefs of the damaged areas on the model sample after anodic etching and on the observable blade in the zone of exposure to negatively-charged droplets are shown to be similar. …”
