Graphene, as a rising-star materials, has attracted interest in fabricating lightweight self-lubricating metal matrix composites with superior mechanical and wear properties.In this work, graphene nanoplatelets (GNPs) reinforced AZ31 alloy composites were fabricated by a powder metallurgy technique and then a hot extrusion.The effects of GNPs conte
Osteolytic lesions in loggerhead sea turtles (Caretta caretta) during rehabilitation are attributed to multiple causes, including gas embolism, hypothermia, and osteomyelitis due to bacterial or fungal infection.This study reports the appearance of osteolytic lesions in a sub-adult loggerhead sea turtle with involvement of the right fore and hind f
Insular organisms typically evolve in closed, isolated systems; thus, changes caused by introduced species can drastically affect their ecology.Isle Royale National Park (Michigan, USA) is a remote island in Lake axle fix Superior that, until relatively recently, was void of earthworms.Its two native natricine snakes are known to feed on earthworms
Understanding the rates and patterns of tidal wetland elevation changes relative to sea-level is essential for understanding the extent of potential wetland loss over the coming years.Using an enhanced and more flexible modeling framework of an ecosystem model (WARMER-2), we Water Repellent Jacket explored sea-level rise (SLR) impacts on wetland el
