The Interannual Variability of Global Burned Area Is Mostly Explained by Climatic Drivers by Andrina Gincheva, Juli G. Pausas, Miguel Ángel Torres‐Vázquez, Joaquín Bedia, Sergio M. Vicente‐Serrano, John T. Abatzoglou, Josep A. Sánchez‐Espigares, Emilio Chuvieco, Sonia Jerez, Antonello Provenzale, Ricardo M. Trigo, Marco Turco

“…Additionally, we note that BA is also significantly associated with periods of antecedent wetness and coolness, with this association being especially evident in more arid ecoregions. About 60% of the interannual variations in BA can be explained by climatic variability in a large fraction (∼77%) of the world's burnable regions.…”

Microstructure, Mechanical Properties, and Fatigue Resistance of an Al-Mg-Sc-Zr Alloy Fabricated by Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing by Lingpeng Zeng, Jiqiang Chen, Tao Li, Zhanglong Tuo, Zuming Zheng, Hanlin Wu

“…The results show that the microstructure of the as-deposited alloy is composed of fine equiaxed grains with an average grain size of around 8 μm, and nanosized Al₃(Sc, Zr) particles (~5 nm) are also evident. The tensile properties and fatigue resistance of the deposited alloy showed significant anisotropy, and the performance of the traveling direction is always better than that of the deposition direction. …”
