Observations of Loki Patera by Juno during Close Flybys by Alessandro Mura, Rosaly M. C. Lopes, Federico Tosi, Francesca Zambon, Roberto Sordini, Peter J. Mouginis-Mark, Julie Rathbun, Scott Bolton, Jani Radebaugh, Alberto Adriani, Andrea Cicchetti, Davide Grassi, Melissa Mirino, Raffaella Noschese, Giuseppe Piccioni, Christina Plainaki, Giuseppe Sindoni

“…We also observed many small (∼3 km wide), closely spaced (∼10 km apart) islands that have persisted in the same locations for at least 45 years, since first being imaged by Voyager 1. The persistence of these islands challenges resurfacing models of Loki, as they have remained fixed—likely anchored to the lava lake floor—and have not noticeably changed in size, arguing against large-scale thermal erosion. …”

Impact of Synthetic Porous Medium Geometric Properties on Solute Transport Using Direct 3D Pore-Scale Simulations by Paolo Roberto Di Palma, Nicolas Guyennon, Andrea Parmigiani, Christian Huber, Falk Heβe, Emanuele Romano

“…However, the range of pore-scale geometric properties, which can be investigated, is usually limited to the number of samples acquired from microcomputed tomography images of real porous media. The present study takes advantage of synthetic porous medium generation to propose a systematic analysis of the relationships between geometric features of the porous media and transport processes through direct simulations of fluid flow and advection-diffusion of a non-reactive solute. …”

Damage evolution and toughening mechanism in brick-and-mortar structure: Essential role of interface thickness ratio by Tian Qiu, Chengyu Guan, Lihong Liang

“…This study employed 3D printing to fabricate brick-and-mortar structures with different interface thickness ratios and examined their mechanical properties and damage evolution through quasi-static tensile tests and digital image correlation (DIC) technology. The results indicate that increasing the interface thickness ratio reduces yield strength, fracture strength, and elastic modulus while increasing fracture strain. …”

Morris, Takashi Onaka, Marshall D. Perrin, Armin Rest, Noel Richardson, Christopher M. P. Russell, Joel Sanchez-Bermudez, Anthony Soulain, Peter Tuthill, Gerd Weigelt, Peredur M. Williams

“…To measure the proper motions and projected velocities of the dust shells, we performed a novel point-spread function (PSF) subtraction to reduce the effects of the bright diffraction spikes and carefully aligned the Cycle 2 to the Cycle 1 images. At 7.7 μ m, through the bright feature common to 16 dust shells (C1), we find an average dust shell proper motion of 390  ±  29 mas yr ^−1 , which equates to a projected velocity of 2714  ±  188 km s ^−1 at a distance of 1.64 kpc. …”
