Effect of Carbon Overcoat Implantation on the Magnetic and Structural Properties of Perpendicular Recording Media by Piramanayagam, S. N., Shakerzadeh, M., Varghese, B., Tan, H. K.

“…In order to achieve the desired property of FCVA carbon, it is essential to apply a suitable bias voltage, which results in an energetic carbon deposition on the magnetic layer of the recording media. In this paper, we focus our attention on the implantation effects of the energetic carbon on the magnetic and the structural properties of the recording media of two types, antiferromagnetically coupled and a single layer, in order to gain a meaningful insight on the implantation and its effect. …”

A driftwood-based record of Arctic sea ice during the last 500 years from northern Svalbard reveals sea ice dynamics in the Arctic Ocean and Arctic peripheral seas by Hole, GM, Rawson, T, Farnsworth, WR, Schomacker, A, Ingólfsson, Ó, Macias-Fauria, M

“…As our samples come from naturally felled trees (not logged or both), the relative proportions of different provenances are used to infer past ocean current dominance. Our record indicates centennial- to decadal-scale shifts in source regions for driftwood incursion to Svalbard, aligning with Late Holocene high variability and high frequency shifts in the Transpolar Drift and Beaufort Gyre strengths and associated fluctuating climate conditions. …”

Combining stratigraphy and tectonics to understand intermittent deposition on the outer rise offshore Sumatra, Indonesia by Tan, Li Ching

“…Stratigraphic and tectonic patterns were observed from depth-converted high resolution seismic reflection profiles in front of the Sunda Trench, west of Mentawai Island, Sumatra, Indonesia. We identified normal faults and channels, defined 8 sedimentary packages and interpreted deposition to be intermittent. …”

Association of current Schistosoma mansoni, Schistosoma japonicum, and Schistosoma mekongi infection status and intensity with periportal fibrosis: a systematic review and meta-ana... by Ewuzie, A, Wilburn, L, Thakrar, DB, Cheng, H, Reitzug, F, Roberts, N, Malouf, R, Chami, GF

“…<p><strong>Background:&nbsp;</strong>Periportal fibrosis is a severe morbidity caused by both current and past exposure to intestinal schistosomes. We aimed to assess the association between current infection status and intensity of&nbsp;<em>Schistosoma mansoni, Schistosoma japonicum</em>, or&nbsp;<em>Schistosoma mekongi</em>&nbsp;with periportal fibrosis.…”

Environmental and social factors influencing the spatiotemporal variation of archaeological sites during the historical period in the Heihe River basin, northwest China by Shi, Zhilin, Chen, Tingting, Storozum, Michael J., Liu, Fengwen

“…Archaeologists have argued that changes in material culture are tied to the frequent turnover in polities in the area, but no published evidence supports these claims. In this paper, we evaluate the relative importance of environmental and political factors in determining the spatiotemporal pattern of archaeological sites in the middle and lower reaches of the Heihe River basin by using previously published high-resolution paleoclimate records and a variety of historical documents. …”

Linking short-term to long-term convergent tectonics using geodetic observations, geological constraints and numerical simulations by Mallick, Rishav

“…This model can be used to make predictions of signals that exist in seismic and geodetic data to help us bridge timescales of deformation. Over the past few decades, we have made significant progress in inferring the geometry and kinematics of fault systems at convergent margins, but continue to be severely limited when it comes to elucidating their dynamics. …”
