Evaporation of Nanofluid Sessile Droplets Under Marangoni and Buoyancy Effects: Internal Convection and Instability by Yuequn Tao, Zhiqiang Zhu

“…As the temperature increases, internal convection intensifies, significantly accelerating the evaporation rate. Three distinct convection flow patterns are observed under the combined influence of the Marangoni effect and buoyancy during evaporation: initially, two macroscopic convection cells form, followed by the periodic generation and propagation of hydrothermal waves (HTWs) near the contact line. …”

Climate and Substrate Stoichiometry Co‐Regulate Free‐Living Nitrogen Fixation at Regional and Global Scales by Haixiao Dai, Zekang Liu, Ali Bahadur, Mianhai Zheng, Jihua Wu

“…Abstract The traditional view holds that the global distribution of biological nitrogen fixation (BNF) in terrestrial ecosystems is primarily affected by climate, associating certain warm, wet low‐latitude regions with higher BNF rates. However, this view fails to explain the observation of the low free‐living BNF rates in these sites. …”
