Measuring timescales of magmatic evolution by Turner, Simon, Costa, Fidel

“…Residence and differentiation times of silicic magmas based on single-crystal, in situ age data vary from 10,000 to 100,000 years, with abundant evidence for crystal recycling from previous intrusive episodes. Chemical zoning patterns in single crystals indicate that processes such as mixing and mingling of magmas and crustal assimilation may occur over much shorter timescales of months to decades. …”

Apportionment methods in collective sales by Lin, Qinglian.

“…Due to scarcity of land in Singapore, the authorities are constantly maximizing land use, through measures like re-zoning and increasing of plot ratio. Individual property owners can benefit from the increase in plot ratio if all owners from the same estate come together with an agreement to sell their properties to a common purchaser. …”

Confined biofilm culture and flow in microfluidic channel by Lim, Chun Ping

“…Although various microfluidic flow cells have been developed to study biofilms under well-defined flow conditions, the control of biofilm growth remains a challenge. Nutrient zoning was developed to achieve biofilm growth confinement and was demonstrated in two microfluidic flow cells, namely a T-shaped flow cell (T flow cell) and a multiplexed flow cell, using two-phase immiscible fluid flow. …”

The Properties of Whiteness by Williams, Darien Alexander, Delgado, Laura Humm, Cameron, Nicholette, Steil, Justin

“…Second, it draws on foundational works in critical race theory to illuminate how land use regulations helped construct race and property, examining how courts’ efforts to reconcile property rights in land with property rights in Whiteness changed judicial conceptions of the viability of property regulations, specifically zoning and land use laws. It builds on this analysis to connect the thread of racialized exclusion in the Supreme Court’s most recent takings decision in Cedar Point Nursery v. …”

Fluid fluxing and accumulation drive decadal and short-lived explosive basaltic andesite eruptions preceded by limited volcanic unrest by Utami, Sri Budhi, Costa, Fidel, Lesage, Ph., Allard, P., Humaida, H.

“…The textures and compositional zoning of orthopyroxene and plagioclase do not support intrusion of more primitive magma as the driver for the eruption, and we instead propose that pre-eruptive fluid accumulation and hightemperature fluid fluxing from depth (likely dominated by CO2) played a major role in priming the eruption to occur. …”
