Mass transfer studies in shallow bubble column reactors by Lau, Raymond, Lee, Pei Hui Venus, Chen, Tao

“…A single nozzle distributor is not suitable for shallow bubble column operations due to the large initial bubbles and the large volume of dead zone generated. It is also found that the different dependence of the liquid-side mass transfer coefficient on the superficial gas velocity observed in the literatures is due to the different bubble rising regimes.…”

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. …”

An enhanced fourier neural operator surrogate for radioactive plume transport forecasting by Ayoub, Ali, Wainwright, Haruko M., Wang, Lijing, Sansavini, Giovanni

“…The speed and efficiency of this framework offers a powerful tool for swift decision-making during emergencies, facilitating risk-informed protective actions, evacuation execution, and zone delineation. Its application extends to various contaminant release and transport problems, and can be instrumental in engineering tasks requiring uncertainty quantification (UQ) for environmental risk assessment.…”

Chiral phonons and giant magneto-optical effect in CrBr₃ 2D magnet by Yin, Tingting, Ulman, Kanchan Ajit, Liu, Sheng, Granados Del Águila, Andrés, Huang, Yuqing, Zhang, Lifa, Serra, Marco, Sedmidubsky, David, Sofer, Zdenek, Quek, Su Ying, Xiong, Qihua

“…Here it is shown that 2D magnetic CrBr3 hosts chiral phonons at the Brillouin-zone center. These chiral phonons are linear combinations of the doubly-degenerate Eg phonons, and the phonon eigenmodes exhibit clockwise and counterclockwise rotational vibrations corresponding to angular momenta of l = ± 1. …”

Strut-and-tie and finite element modelling of unsymmetrically-loaded deep beams by Fan, Shengxin, Zhang, Yao, Ma, You-Xin, Tan, Kang Hai

“…Furthermore, a minimum-strain-energy criterion is adopted to define the optimal STM geometry from the stress field, including the dimensions of struts and nodal zones, and strut angles. The proposed STM is validated against 140 test results, including 14 unsymmetrically-loaded deep beams and 126 symmetric deep and short beams, and finite element models (FEMs) for the 14 unsymmetrical deep beams. …”
