Geological Influences on Wine Quality: Analyzing Nebbiolo Grapes from Northern Italy by Laura Santagostini, Vittoria Guglielmi

“…Elements were categorized into three groups based on their origins—natural soil contributions (Al, Ba, Li, Mn, Mo, Sr, Ti), those influenced by production cycles (Ca, Mg, K, Cu, Zn, Fe), and artificial sources (Co, Cr, Ni, V)—asserting that the first group serves as the most reliable indicators for tracing wines back to their vineyard origins. …”

Research Progress and Prospect of Extreme Water Increase by Storm Surge in Estuaries — A Case Study of Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area by LIU Yuexuan, LI Huijing, LI Lanbin, LIU Xiaojian

“…Significant increases in water and extreme tide levels caused by typhoon storm surges are the primary threat to flood safety in estuarine areas,and are also the main cause of major natural disaster losses in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area in recent years.This paper reveals the evolution patterns of water increase in storm surges over the years and introduces corresponding research methods.Meanwhile,it systematically reviews research achievements on the formation mechanism of extreme tide levels in storm surges from both foreign and domestic perspectives.Combined calculation models of extreme tide levels formed by astronomical tides and storm surges in China and abroad are also summarized,with a focus on achievements in dynamic mechanisms during extreme water increase in storm surges.Additionally,a two-dimensional nested mathematical model of storm surges in the South China Sea and the Pearl River Estuary is built,and the most unfavorable typhoon intensity and path are designed.The maximum water increase distribution in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area is preliminarily simulated and obtained.Finally,it is urgent to put forward a set of safe,concise,and applicable formula for calculating the extreme tide levels of storm surges as soon as possible based on the understanding of the physical mechanism of the interaction between astronomical tides and storm surges.…”

Transimperial Sociology: A Peripheral Dictatorship at the Centre of Late Colonial Social-Scientific Cooperation Between Empires by Ágoas Frederico

“…Additionally, it serves as a case study in the historical sociology of knowledge, expanding on scholarship that has explored the intersection of authoritarianism and imperialism in the natural sciences but not in the social sciences. In terms of the latter, this approach also highlights some of the material and symbolic determinants behind the rise of sociology and social anthropology in Africa, adding a transimperial layer to studies that have explored their colonial origins.…”
