Identification of Two Types of Metallogenic Fluids in the Ultra-Large Huize Pb–Zn Deposit, SW China by Yan Zhang, Runsheng Han, Pingtang Wei, Lei Wang

“…The existing findings were reorganized and reinterpreted and supplemented with C–H–O isotopic measurements, which resulted in the identification of two different metallogenic fluids: a high temperature, low salinity, and acidic Fluid A, which originates from deep-seated fluids and is enriched in lighter C and O isotopes (−3‰ < δ13C‰ < −4‰; 10‰ < δ18O‰ < 17‰; −92‰ < δD‰ < −50‰), and a low temperature, high salinity Fluid B, which is a subsurface brine formed by atmospheric precipitation. Fluid B is characterized by heavier C–O–H isotopic compositions (−2‰ < δ13C‰ < 1‰; 2‰ < δ18O‰ < 24‰; −66‰ < δD‰ < −43‰) than Fluid A and cycles continuously within the strata. …”

Hydrometeorological Variability of Olive Ridley Sea Turtle (<i>Lepidochelys olivacea</i>) Nesting Beaches: Implications for Conservation Practices by Anatoliy Filonov, Enrique Godínez-Domínguez, Iryna Tereshchenko, Cesar O. Monzon, David Avalos-Cueva, María del Refugio Barba-López

“…The research specifically examines variations in sand temperature at both the beach surface and nesting depths, with extended measurements taken at multiple depths (20, 40, 60, 80, and 100 cm) to analyze the vertical temperature gradient along the beach. Atmospheric parameters were modeled using Newton’s Cooling Law and solved with the finite difference method to estimate heat loss rates from beach sand to its surroundings, shedding light on microclimatic effects on incubation and embryonic development. …”

Assessing the Effects of Spatial Resolution on Regional Climate Model Simulated Summer Temperature and Precipitation in China: A Case Study by Xin-Min Zeng, Ming Wang, Yujian Zhang, Yang Wang, Yiqun Zheng

“…This indicates that different resolutions lead to different atmospheric thermodynamic states. Because of the dry climate and low soil heat capacity in Northern China, resolution changes easily modify surface energy fluxes, hence the SAT; due to the rainy and humid climate in South China, resolution changes likely strongly influence grid-scale structure of clouds and therefore precipitation.…”

Controllable tip exposure of ultramicroelectrodes coated by diamond-like carbon via direct microplasma jet for enhanced stability and fidelity in single-cell recording by Zhiyuan Du, Qingda Xu, Ye Xi, Mengfei Xu, Jiawei Cao, Longchun Wang, Xiuyan Li, Xiaolin Wang, Qingkun Liu, Zude Lin, Bin Yang, Jingquan Liu

“…To address this issue, we chose a dense and electrochemically stable diamond-like carbon (DLC) film as the UME protection coating and developed a method to precisely control the exposed degree of the functional structure by directly fixed-point processing of the UME tip by the strong site-selectivity and good controllability of the atmospheric microplasma jet. By analyzing the interaction between the microplasma jet and the UME tip, as well as the changes in the removal length and microstructure of UME tips with processing time, the exposed tip length was precisely controlled down to the submicron scale. …”
