Geochemical and Sr–Nd–Hf isotopic evidence for Cenozoic partial melting of mantle beneath Natanz, Central Iran by Babazadeh, S, D'Antonio, M, Raeisi, D, Furman, T, Santosh, M, Di Renzo, V, Klötzli, U, Choi, SH, Ghalamghash, J, Cottle, JM, Palin, R

“…Combined modelling of trace element and isotopic data suggests that the most mafic Natanz magmas could have formed through ∼5% melting of a source comprising 99% depleted mantle +1% sediment, with the melts modified subsequently by ∼3% contamination by Cadomian upper crustal components. …”

Effect of build height on the microstructure and mechanical properties of electron beam melted Ti-6Al-4V by Mohamed Harris Mohamed Ibrahim

“…Currently the additive manufacturing (AM) process which is also known as 3D printing is being progressively adopted for producing TI-6Al-4V parts, primarily because of its ability to produce complex parts at a reduced cost. Electron Beam Melting (EBM) is the most common AM method used to produce TI-6Al-4V due to the vacuum conditions during the process. …”

Hydrous melting driven upwelling from the mantle transition zone in the Mongolia plateau revealed by receiver function analysis by He, Jing, Xu, Mijian, Wu, Qingju, Zhang, Fengxue

“…We speculate that the mantle upwelling beneath the Hangay Dome may be related to the stagnant slab descending through the MTZ, rather than being rooted from the deep lower mantle. Hydrous melting-driven upwellings from the MTZ beneath the Mongolia Plateau play a key role in intraplate volcanism.…”

Material characterization, thermal analysis, and mechanical performance of a laser-polished Ti alloy prepared by selective laser melting by Li, Yu-Hang, Wang, Bing, Ma, Cheng-Peng, Fang, Zhi-Hao, Chen, Long-Fei, Guan, Ying-Chun, Yang, Shou-Feng

“…This paper examines the mechanical performances of a laser polished surface fabricated by selective laser melting (SLM). Compared with the original SLM surface, systematic measurements revealed that the surface roughness of the laser polished surface can be effectively reduced from 6.53 μm to 0.32 μm, while the microhardness and wear resistance increased by 25% and 39%, respectively. …”

‘When I open it, I have to drink it all’: push and pull factors shaping domestic alcohol consumption during the COVID-19 pandemic UK Spring 2020 lockdown by Conroy, Dom, Nicholls, Emily

“…Discussion and conclusions: With the increasing normalisation of domestic drinking during a global pandemic, this paper illuminates several factors that may encourage or curtail domestic alcohol consumption and invites us to consider the importance of assemblages, space and context. Such findings have wider applicability; for example consideration of specific (and perhaps unique) push and pull factors of home spaces could inform future alcohol policy, health promotion messages and how guidance around ‘moderation’ or risky drinking is communicated.…”
