Fluid fluxing and accumulation drive decadal and short-lived explosive basaltic andesite eruptions preceded by limited volcanic unrest by Utami, Sri Budhi, Costa, Fidel, Lesage, Ph., Allard, P., Humaida, H.

“…These eruptions are often preceded by limited unrest signals and short run-up times to eruption (a few hours to months), and thus they are difficult to anticipate. Some well-documented examples are the 1990 and 2014 eruptions of Kelud volcano in Indonesia, or the 2015 Calbuco eruption in Chile. …”

Phylogenomic analysis of the plastid genome of the Peruvian purple maize zea mays subsp. mays cv. 'INIA 601' by Montenegro, Juan D., Julca, Irene, Chumbe-Nolasco, Lenin D., Rodríguez-Pérez, Lila M., Panizo, Ricardo Sevilla, Medina-Hoyos, Alicia, Gutiérrez-Reynoso, Dina L., Guerrero-Abad, Juan Carlos, Guerra, Carlos A. Amasifuen, García-Serquén, Aura L.

“…It is generally accepted that the Peruvian purple maize originated from a single ancestral landrace 'Kculli', but it is not well understood. To study the origin of the Peruvian purple maize, we assembled the plastid genomes of the new cultivar 'INIA 601' with a high concentration of anthocyanins, comparing them with 27 cultivars/landraces of South America, 9 Z. mays subsp. parviglumis, and 5 partial genomes of Z. mays subsp. mexicana. …”

Hot-carrier physics of transition-metal carbides and nitrides: insight from electronic structure by Liu, Tingting, Hu, Jun, Luo, Yu, Li, Xiaofeng

“…We investigate the complete hot-carrier behavior from the microscopic dynamics (e.g., generation, transport, and injection) of hot carriers to the macroscopic responses (e.g., device responsivity) of the photodetectors. It is found that a well-manipulated electronic structure can greatly improve the performance of hot-carrier photodetectors. …”

Two sources of uncertainty in estimating tephra volumes from isopachs: perspectives and quantification by Yang, Qingyuan, Jenkins, Susanna F.

“…For the model uncertainty, we propose (i) a better-informed and stricter way to report and evaluate goodness-of-fit, and (ii) that uncertainty estimations be based on the envelope defined by different well-fitted curves, rather than volumes estimated from individual curves. …”
