Damage due to ice crystallization by Menno Demmenie, Paul Kolpakov, Boaz van Casteren, Dirk Bakker, Daniel Bonn, Noushine Shahidzadeh

“…The pressure can be understood quantitatively based on thermodynamics which correctly predicts that the crystallization pressure on the inclusion boundary is independent of the volume of the liquid pocket. Finally, our results also reveal that by changing the wetting properties of the confining walls, the formation of the liquid pockets that cause the mechanical damage can be avoided.…”

A Comparative Study of K±/π± Ratio in Proton-Proton Collisions at Different Energies: Experimental Results versus Model Simulation by Swarnapratim Bhattacharyya, Maria Haiduc, Alina Tania Neagu, Elena Firu

“…Experimentally it has been observed that as energy increases, the total kaon to pion multiplicity ratio K++K-/π++π-=K/π increases systematically for pp collisions at lower energies and becomes independent of energy in LHC energy regime. Our analysis on total kaon to pion multiplicity ratio K++K-/π++π-=K/π with UrQMD data is well supported by the experimental results obtained by different collaborations in different times. …”

Multiphasic allometry: the reality and significance of ontogenetic shifts in the body-mass scaling of metabolic rate by Douglas S. Glazier

“…Second, it is recommended that the existence of nonlinear (multiphasic or curvilinear) allometry should be tested by comparing linear versus curvilinear regression models or body-size scaling slopes (and their 95% confidence intervals) of different developmental stages, each analyzed with separate, statistically independent log–log regression lines. Third, ontogenetic shifts in metabolic scaling are related to other fundamental developmental changes, thus highlighting the significance of multiphasic allometry for understanding organismal development. …”
