Socio-ecological dynamics of Andean treelines in the 21st century by Gwendolyn Peyre, Enrique Zuñiga, Andrea Cornejo Paredes, Aremi Paja Medina, Jose Alfredo Sulla Torres, Manuel Zúñiga Carnero, Karina Rosas Paredes

“…This mini-review sheds light on the current state of Andean treelines today and suggests future pathways with anticipated opportunities for conservation and sustainable restoration. For instance, we stress the need for future research in species and community modelling to predict composition and distribution changes in forest and non-forest vegetation under global change scenarios.…”

Achieving excellent mechanical properties in CoNiCrMo multi-principal element alloys: A comprehensive approach integrating mean square atomic displacement and machine learning meth... by Yang Long, Wei Fang, Haoyang Yu, Tiexu Peng, Cong Li, Weiguang Liu, Chang Liu, Qinghe Jia, Yushui Chen, Jia Li, Fuxing Yin

“…The results indicate electronegativity difference is the descriptor of the highest importance in the lattice distortion prediction of the ML model. Meanwhile, the MSAD value is basically the same as the electronegativity difference value with compositional variation, which provides an important reference for alloy design. …”

Development of a wear coefficient equation for the A A7075-B4C composite – steel interface by Venkatrami Reddy Veduru, Ranjith R, Kanulla Karthik, P Sasirekha

“…The presence of reinforcement hinders dislocation movement led to an augmentation in the composites’ hardness, while an elevation in temperature resulted in a decline in hardness due to the reduction of Pierls stresses. Owing to the formation of a Mechanical Mixed Layer (MML), the wear rate decreases with addition of volume fraction of B _4 C particles until 7.5%, beyond this MML break down and wear rate transit from mild to severe due to the direct metal contact. …”

Distribution of C30 carotenoid biosynthesis genes suggests habitat adaptation function in insect-adapted and nomadic Lactobacillaceae by Tom Eilers, Marie Legein, Jari Temmermans, Jelle Dillen, Ine Vandendriessche, Koen Sandra, Peter A. Bron, Stijn Wittouck, Sarah Lebeer

“…The phenotype was confirmed in 87% of the predicted crtMN gene carriers (27/31). Nomadic and insect-adapted species, particularly those isolated from vegetable fermentations, e.g., Lactiplantibacillus, and floral habitats, e.g., Fructilactobacillus, contained crtMN genes, while vertebrate-associated species, including vaginal associated species, lacked this trait. …”
