The carbon dioxide removal gap by Lamb, WF, Gasser, T, Roman-Cuesta, RM, Grassi, G, Gidden, MJ, Powis, CM, Geden, O, Nemet, G, Pratama, Y, Riahi, K, Smith, SM, Steinhauser, J, Vaughan, NE, Smith, HB, Minx, JC

“…However, the most ambitious proposals for CDR are close to levels in a low-energy demand scenario with the most-limited CDR scaling and aggressive near-term emissions reductions. Further, we observe that many countries propose to expand land-based removals, but none yet commit to substantively scaling novel methods such as bioenergy carbon capture and storage, biochar or direct air carbon capture and storage.…”

Phase Change Dispersion Made by Condensation–Emulsification by Fischer, Ludger J., Dhulipala, Somayajulu, Varanasi, Kripa K.

“…They are manufactured by high shear equipment like rotor-stator systems. A recently published method to produce emulsions by the direct condensation of the dispersed phase into the emulsifier-containing continuous phase is applied on this PCD. n-Decane is used as PCM, and the melting temperature is -30 °C. …”

The Influence of Root Geometry on Soil Cohesion and Anchoring Ability through Geologic Time by Colicci, Vittorio

“…Force laws were then derived to approximate the anchoring contributions of root weight, sediment weight, static friction, and shear strength. This analysis revealed a strong dependence on the span, surface area, and volume of the root system, which were used to normalize values across different geometries. …”

Turbulent Flow over a Flexible Wall Undergoing a Streamwise Traveling Wavy Motion by Shen, Lian, Zhang, Xiang, Yue, Dick K.P., Triantafyllou, Michael S.

“…Above a threshold value of c/U ≈ 1, separation is eliminated; and, relative to small- c/U cases, turbulence intensity and turbulent shear stress are reduced significantly. The drag force decreases monotonically as c/U increases while the power required for the transverse motion generally increases for large c/U; the net power input is found to reach a minimum at c/U ≈ 1.2 (for fixed U). …”

Solder joint testing and failure analysis by Kang, Eng Tat.

“…Adhesively bonded joints within most electronic devices are constantly subjected to a complex combination of tensile-shear loading. These devices are also likely to undergo thermo-mechanical cycling during device processing and service and therefore, the joints are likely to have existing low-cycle fatigue cracks, which might adversely affect the joint mechanical integrity under various loading situations. …”
