Last-millennium volcanic forcing and climate response using SO₂ emissions by L. R. Marshall, L. R. Marshall, L. R. Marshall, A. Schmidt, A. Schmidt, A. Schmidt, A. P. Schurer, N. L. Abraham, N. L. Abraham, L. J. Lücke, R. Wilson, K. J. Anchukaitis, G. C. Hegerl, B. Johnson, B. L. Otto-Bliesner, E. C. Brady, M. Khodri, K. Yoshida

“…<p>Climate variability in the last millennium (past 1000 years) is dominated by the effects of large-magnitude volcanic eruptions; however, a long-standing mismatch exists between model-simulated and tree-ring-derived surface cooling. …”

Neutral angle and forward slip during high-speed rolling in finishing blocks of wire mill stands by A. A. Gorbanev, V. V. Fillippov, S. M. Zhuchkov, V. A. Tischenko, A. B. Steblov, A. D. Shevchenko

“…On the basis of investigation results analysis it's been^ established that influence of mass forces on the moment arm coefficient with rolling speed of up to 150 m/s at exit from the block must be taken into account in the last two or three block stands; joint influence of interst and efforts and mass forces on the coefficient of moment arm mostly affects odd block stands, which must be considered while calculating power rolling parameters.…”

Interfacial friction enabling ≤ 20 μm thin free-standing lithium strips for lithium metal batteries by Shaozhen Huang, Zhibin Wu, Bernt Johannessen, Kecheng Long, Piao Qing, Pan He, Xiaobo Ji, Weifeng Wei, Yuejiao Chen, Libao Chen

“…Abstract A practical high-specific-energy Li metal battery requires thin (≤20 μm) and free-standing Li metal anodes, but the low melting point and strong diffusion creep of lithium metal impede their scalable processing towards thin-thickness and free-standing architecture. …”

Semiochemical Diversity in Practice: Antiattractant Semiochemicals Reduce Bark Beetle Attacks on Standing Trees—A First Meta-Analysis by Fredrik Schlyter

“…The more complex “push-pull” tactic has, in contrast, been repeatedly tested during the last decade. I analysed published data from 32 experiments in 9 papers published during 2000–2011 on Ips typographus and Dendroctonus ponderosae, to test if there was an overall effect of antiattractant semiochemicals, that is, if treatments reduced the number of attacks on standing trees at the habitat or stand scale. …”

Spatial and temporal variability in sea surface temperatures and monsoon dynamics in the northwestern Arabian Sea during the last 43&thinsp;kyr by J. Maier, J. Maier, N. Burdanowitz, N. Burdanowitz, G. Schmiedl, G. Schmiedl, B. Gaye, B. Gaye

“…The SST was predominantly influenced by the SW monsoon during warmer periods and the NE monsoon during cold intervals. Importantly, the Last Glacial Maximum stands out owing to the absence of intense cooling at the core site which clearly diverges from previously known SST patterns. …”
