“…The CH4 treatment performance of the non-thermal plasma before and after the introduction of the catalyst under different discharge voltages, gas flow rates and temperatures were analyzed by the constructed experimental system. The microstructural changes of the catalyst were analyzed by N2 adsorption-desorption isotherm, X-ray diffraction (XRD) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS).ResultsThe introduction of Pd/Al2O3 catalyst can significantly improve CH4 treatment performance in non-thermal plasma, and the CH4 treatment efficiency and CO2 selectivity can reach 100% and 83.7% by increasing the discharge voltage, lowering the reaction temperature and reasonably adjusting the gas flow.ConclusionThe non-thermal plasma and the Pd/Al₂O₃ catalyst exhibit a synergistic effect. …”

High Strength–Ductility Synergy of As-Cast B2-Containing AlNbTaTiZr Refractory High-Entropy Alloy Under Intermediate and Dynamic Strain Rates by Hashim Naseer, Yangwei Wang, Muhammad Abubaker Khan, Jamieson Brechtl, Mohamed A. Afifi

“…The YS increases to ~1797 MPa under dynamic strain-rate (3.2 × 10³ s⁻¹) loadings, which is a ~25 % improvement in strength compared with the deformation at the intermediate strain rate. Microstructural analysis of the deformed specimens reveals the severity of dislocation activity with strain and strain rate that evolves from fine dislocation bands to the formation of localized adiabatic shear bands (ASBs) at the strain rate 3.5 × 10³ s⁻¹. …”

A new method for determining factors Influencing productivity of deep coalbed methane vertical cluster wells by HUANG Li, XIONG Xianyue, WANG Feng, SUN Xiongwei, ZHANG Yixin, ZHAO Longmei, SHI Shi, ZHANG Wen, ZHAO Haoyang, JI Liang, DENG Lin

“…Predictions using the neural network method were more accurate, with a relative error of less than 10% compared to measured values. 2） Using Kendall's tau-b correlation analysis, the discrete dominant factor was identified as the microstructural position, primarily located in uplifted positive structural zones, with the secondary factor being fracture development, categorized mainly as “well-developed” or “developed.” 3） By combining lasso regression-random forest- decision tree algorithm to iteratively eliminate irrelevant factors, the continuous dominant factors influencing productivity were ranked in descending order as: ash content, average construction discharge rate, total sand volume pumped, flowback rate at gas breakthrough, net pay thickness, acoustic travel time, gamma ray log value, average construction pressure, percentage of 100-mesh sand, and average gas measurement value. …”

Tectonometamorphic evolution of a subduction plate interface at the base of the Mirdita Ophiolite (Bajram Curri, northeastern Albania) by Madeline Richter, Kilian Pollok, Kujtim Onuzi, Kamil Ustaszewski

“…All metamorphic sole lithologies were overprinted at lower greenschist-facies conditions, reflecting their exhumation from intraoceanic subduction. Corresponding microstructures indicate mineral growth at isotropic stresses, suggesting that deformation migrated into structurally lower, frontally accreted non-metamorphic units of the sub-ophiolitic mélange marking the start of obduction onto the passive Adriatic margin. …”
