The multicomponent exchange of metals between magmatic fluids and silicate melts by Gion, AM, Gaillard, F

“…We further present a model based on these experimentally determined apparent equilibrium constants that is capable of calculating fluid-melt equilibria. This model can subsequently be used to predict fluid-melt partition coefficients for metals, as well as chlorine and fluorine, over a wide range of P-T-X conditions.…”

Study on process parameter optimization for electron beam melting additive manufacturing by Wang, Chengcheng

“…Electron beam melting additive manufacturing (EBM-AM), also known as selective electron beam melting (SEBM), is a mainstream metal additive manufacturing (AM) technique that employs an electron beam to process metallic powder feedstocks in vacuum environment (~ 10-4 - 10-5 mbar) at elevated temperatures (~ 500 - 1100 °C). …”

Extreme Water Uptake of Hygroscopic Hydrogels through Maximized Swelling‐Induced Salt Loading by Graeber, Gustav, Díaz‐Marín, Carlos D, Gaugler, Leon C, Zhong, Yang, El Fil, Bachir, Liu, Xinyue, Wang, Evelyn N

“…At 30% RH, this exceeds previously reported water uptakes of metal–organic frameworks by over 100% and of hydrogels by 15%, bringing the uptake within 93% of the fundamental limit of hygroscopic salts while avoiding leakage problems common in salt solutions. …”

Spatter transport by inert gas flow in selective laser melting : a simulation study by Ahmad Bin Anwar, Ibrahim, Imran Halimi, Pham, Quang-Cuong

“…Spattering is an unavoidable phenomenon during Selective Laser Melting (SLM). The distinctively large and dark solidified molten particles have always been observed on the powder bed, leading to the potential deterioration of the final printed parts. …”

Raising Two More Fundamental Questions Regarding the Classical Views on the Rheology of Polymer Melts by Ibar, Jean Pierre

“…Our conclusion is that the classical formulation of the viscosity of polymer melts is so overly simplified that it is missing important experimental facts, such as period doubling for the separation of T and M, TLL, M’c, and Mc, resulting in its inability to understand the true nature of entanglements. …”

Field relations, petrogenesis and emplacement of the Bhagirathi leucogranite, Garhwal Himalaya by Searle, M, Metcalfe, RP, Rex, AJ, Norry, MJ

“…The final emplacement level in the crust must have been ultimately controlled by the density contrast between melt and country rocks, the thermal blanketing of the Tethyan sedimentary cover, and the extensional stress field along the top of the High Himalayan slab.…”

Endogenous institutionalism and the puzzle of gender quotas: insights from Latin America by Gatto, MLAC

“…Firstly, although previously identified, the resistance of male legislators towards gender quotas had never been systematically analysed in a comparative manner; focusing on the behaviour of male incumbents is thus a relevant contribution. …”

Deformation and its surface expression in stressed planetary materials by Seltzer, Cassandra
