Relationship Between Thermal Conductivity, Mineral Composition and Major Element Composition in Rocks from Central and South Germany by Oliver Suft, Hannes Hagenauer, David Bertermann

“…Higher quartz and SiO₂ contents generally lead to increased thermal conductivity, while aluminum silicates, common in clay minerals, correlate with lower conductivity. For carbonates, increased density or reduced porosity enhances conductivity. …”

Cause Analysis and Process Improvement Measures of Primary Forging Cracking for 20 t Flat Ingot of N08120 Nickel-based Corrosion-resistant Alloy by Liu　Yu, Xu　Wenliang

“…By reducing the casting speed of shrink head to 30% of that of ingot body， adding the heating agent in advance when the molten steel level reached 2/3 of height of the shrink head， increasing heating agent from 2 kg/t to 2.5 kg/t and adding carbonized rice husk in order to improve the insulation effect， increasing the proportion of hot-feeding ingots in the forging process and strictly prohibiting the stacking of cold ingots into the furnace， the problem of forging cracking was solved.…”

Climate-driven hydrological sensitivity in Estonian catchments: a northern temperate perspective by Oliver Koit, Joonas Pärn, Marlen Hunt, Siim Tarros, Elve Lode, Pamela Abreldaal

“…The research identifies four distinct hydrological behavior clusters: plateau, sandstone upland, carbonate upland, and lowland. Key findings include diverse catchment sensitivities to groundwater recharge, the role of baseflow in streamflow stabilization, the memory effect in catchment responses, and insights from the flow duration curve on flow variability and extremes. …”

Zoning the villages at flood risk in the Varkesh-Chai drainage basin by GIS and HEC - RAS software and HEC- GEO - RAS extension by Asdollah hejazi, fatemeh khodaie geshlag, leila khodaie geshlag

“…Field studies show that, villages’development has been without knowing the rules governing hydraulic behavior, prediction of river hydrological behavior, and no respecting the main bed of river, it has been conserved to the agricultural land or garden. Lack of knowledge and attention to the above-mentioned cases and river bed manipulation has increased the vulnerability of villages, agricultural land or other human facilities of the flood risk in the catchment area. …”

Weaving Lao Silk Into Indigo Nights by Melody Kemp

“…A black sheet of pin-straight hair fell over her face, hiding the claret birthmark shaped just like a spider, that crept over her right cheek, one leg disappearing into the fine hairs of her temple.The coarse ivory silk recently spooled from the cocoons gathered in her garden pushed back against her hand.She felt the fizz of anticipation low in her belly as she gathered all the many shuttles holding the weft silk and dumped them into an old blackened basket. …”

High Blood Pressure Effects on the Blood to Cerebrospinal Fluid Barrier and Cerebrospinal Fluid Protein Composition: A Two-Dimensional Electrophoresis Study in Spontaneously Hypert... by Ibrahim González-Marrero, Leandro Castañeyra-Ruiz, Juan M. González-Toledo, Agustín Castañeyra-Ruiz, Hector de Paz-Carmona, Rafael Castro, Juan R. Hernandez-Fernaud, Agustín Castañeyra-Perdomo, Emilia M. Carmona-Calero

“…The results showed different proteomic profiles between SHR and WKY, that α-1-antitrypsin, apolipoprotein A1, albumin, immunoglobulin G, vitamin D binding protein, haptoglobin and α-1-macroglobulin were found to be up-regulated in SHR, and apolipoprotein E, transthyretin, α-2-HS-glycoprotein, transferrin, α-1β-glycoprotein, kininogen and carbonic anhidrase II were down-regulated in SHR. The conclusion made here is that hypertension in SHR produces important variations in cerebrospinal fluid proteins that could be due to a choroid plexus dysfunction and this fact supports the close connection between hypertension and blood to cerebrospinal fluid barrier disruption.…”
