Dislocation climb mediated Coble-type grain boundary deformation in gold nanocrystals by Xiyao Li, Guang Cao, Yingbin Chen, Pengfei Yue, Kexing Song, Jiangwei Wang

“…Here, we presented a mechanism of stress-driven diffusional climb of GB dislocations in gold (Au) nanocrystals by in-situ nanomechanical testing. Successive proceeding of GB dislocation climb enhances the mass transport along GBs and contributes to a Coble-type GB deformation at room temperature. …”

DNA analysis indicates that Asian elephants are native to Borneo and are therefore a high priority for conservation. by Prithiviraj Fernando, T N C Vidya, John Payne, Michael Stuewe, Geoffrey Davison, Raymond J Alfred, P Andau, Edwin Bosi, Annelisa Kilbourn, Don J Melnick

“…Thus, interbreeding Borneo elephants with those from other populations would be contraindicated in ex situ conservation, and their genetic distinctiveness makes them one of the highest priority populations for Asian elephant conservation.…”

Enhanced mechanical properties of alkali-activated dolomite dust emulsified asphalt composites by Qun Liu, Weiqing Lin, Lei Xi

“…When the emulsified asphalt content is 1%, the bending strength of the sample is up to 28.81 MPa, which is 25% higher than that of the sample without emulsified asphalt. The in-situ formation of calcium carbonate crystal clusters within the DAC was suggested that may support this performance. …”

Composition and Water Ecology Indication of Functional Feeding Groups of Zoobenthos in Liuxi River by CHEN Ci, ZHU Kunpeng, LIU Yue, LI Jiaxu, TAN Ying, WANG Lu

“…The Liuxi River is the most important river system in Guangzhou,and systematic monitoring and assessment provide basic information for the health management of the Liuxi River ecosystem.Field in-situ sampling of zoobenthos in the Liuxi River was conducted during the dry (March) and wet (September) seasons in 2019 to explore the spatio-temporal distribution characteristics of functional feeding groups (FFGs) of zoobenthos,and the habitat conditions of the Liuxi River were assessed by the composition of the zoobenthos FFGs.The results show that the main group of zoobenthos in the Liuxi River Basin is collectors,followed by scrapers and predators,whereas filterers and shredders are rarely observed.The dominant groups at the sampling sites in the upper and middle reaches are moderate pollution tolerant collectors (Baetidae and Corbiculidae) and pollution tolerant collectors (Chironomidae),while the sampling sites in the lower reaches are overwhelmingly dominated by pollution tolerant collectors (Chironomidae).Environmental factors significantly affect the distribution of zoobenthos FFGs.Specifically,the key environmental factors in the dry season are velocity and NO₃,while those in the wet season are SiO₂ and velocity.The attributes of the Liuxi River ecosystem were analyzed on the basis of the composition of the zoobenthos FFGs.The results indicate that the ecosystems at most of the sampling sites in the Liuxi River are heterotrophic ones,and the riparian zone of this basin is not healthy.The longitudinal transport ability of the river is mostly in an unhealthy state.Predators' control effect is normal except at some sampling sites in the upper reaches.The basin maintains favorable habitat stability except at the sampling sites affected by sand dredging.…”
