Metasomatism of the continental crust and its impact on surface uplift: insights from reactive‐transport modelling by Worthington, JR, Chin, EJ, Palin, RM

“…High-elevation, low-relief continental plateaus are major topographic features and profoundly influence atmospheric circulation, sediment transport and storage, and biodiversity. Although orogenic surface-uplift mechanisms for modern continental plateaus near known plate margins like Tibet are well-characterized, they cannot account for examples in intracontinental settings like the Colorado Plateau. …”

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. …”

Acceleration by Stepsize Hedging: Multi-Step Descent and the Silver Stepsize Schedule by Altschuler, Jason, Parrilo, Pablo

“…This leads to a phase transition in the convergence rate: initially super-exponential (acceleration regime), then exponential (saturation regime). The core algorithmic intuition is hedging between individually suboptimal strategiesÐshort steps and long stepsÐsince bad cases for the former are good cases for the latter, and vice versa. …”

Forces on oscillating uniform and tapered cylinders in a crossflow by Hover, F. S., Techet, A. H., Triantafyllou, M.S.

“…Calculation of the cross-correlation coefficient between forces at the two ends of the uniform cylinder reveals five distinct regimes as a function of the nominal reduced velocity Vrn: two regimes, for low and high values of Vrn, and far away from the value of VrS corresponding to the Strouhal frequency, show small correlation; two regimes immediately adjacent to, but excluding, VrS show strong correlation, close to 1; surprisingly, there is a regime containing the Strouhal frequency, within which correlation is low. …”

Study of inertial hydrodynamic focusing in sheath-driven flows for lab-on-a-chip flow cytometry by Panwar, Nishtha, Song, Peiyi, Yong, Ken-Tye, Tjin, Swee Chuan

“…Most models predict the width of the focused sample stream based on hydrodynamic focusing in the low Reynolds number regime (Re << 1), where the viscous forces dominate the inertial forces. …”

Cavity-length optimization for high energy pulse generation in a long cavity passively mode-locked all-fiber ring laser by Shum, Perry Ping, Wu, Kan, Wong, Jia Haur, Aditya, Sheel, Li, Nanxi, Xue, Jin, Ouyang, Chunmei

“…However, a long cavity operating in the anomalous dispersion regime also leads to pulse broadening, which reduces the average pulse power. …”

BCC metals in extreme environments: modelling the structure and evolution of defects by Gilbert, M

“…We present results from large-scale finite temperature molecular dynamics simulations of screw dislocations under stress and observe the thermally-activated kink-pair formation regime at low stress, which appears to be superseded by a frictional regime at higher stresses. …”
