The role of online media in mobilizing large-scale collective action by Chen, Zhuo, Oh, Poong, Chen, Anfan

“…This study investigates the role of online media in mobilizing large-scale collective action. Adopting the theoretical framework of collective action space, we formulated the organizing process of collective action into a model with two dimensions—hierarchy and closure—and analyzed how they influence mobilization. …”

Fatigue life calculation for TC4-TC11 titanium alloy specimens fabricated by laser melting deposition by Zhan, Zhixin

“…In this study, the numerical and experimental investigation on the fatigue life of TC4-TC11 titanium alloy specimens fabricated by laser melting deposition is conducted. First, the damage-coupled elastic-plastic constitutive equations and fatigue damage evolution equations are derived, and the material parameter calibration of TC4-TC11 in the equations are presented. …”

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.…”

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. …”

A modified viscous flow law for natural glacier ice: Scaling from laboratories to ice sheets by Ranganathan, Meghana, Minchew, Brent

“…Glacier flow modulates sea level and is governed largely by the viscous deformation of ice. Multiple molecular-scale mechanisms facilitate viscous deformation, but it remains unclear how each contributes to glacier-scale deformation. …”
