Water-based 8YSZ electrolyte suspension optimised by design of experiments by Bernardo Jordão Moreira Sarruf, Laura Buccoli, Zoé Barbry

“…In this context, manufacturing improvements—particularly those that minimise material waste during production—can play a crucial role in lowering the capital expenditure (CAPEX) of solid oxide cells, ultimately influencing the levelised cost of fuel for end users.This study presents an optimisation of electrolyte slurry formulation for tape casting. By controlling variables such as solid loading, binder content, milling parameters, and casting conditions, we achieved reproducible results in electrolyte thickness, porosity, and electrical conductivity.The slurries were prepared by ball milling, employing a range of compositions that included both low and high solid and binder contents. …”

Understanding the evolution of scoria cone morphology using multivariate models by Gabor Kereszturi, Pablo Grosse, Melody Whitehead, Marie-Noëlle Guilbaud, Drew T. Downs, Rina Noguchi, Matthieu Kervyn

“…Here, we present a new global inventory of dated scoria cones (n = 572) from 71 volcanic fields formed under diverse magmatic, tectonic and climatic regimes, and build data-driven age models for dating scoria cones using easily accessible morphometric, reflectance and climatic variables. Our models suggest chemical composition of ascending magma may influence the initial scoria cone morphology which is then gradually modified by erosion over time.…”

ASSOCIATION BETWEEN ANTHROPOMETRIC AND PHYSICAL DATA OF UNIVERSITY SOCCER PLAYERS FROM DIFFERENT POSITIONS by Sacha Clael, Samuel da Silva Aguiar, Filipe Manuel Clemente, Ricardo Franco Lima, Gustavo De Conti Teixeira Costa, Henrique de Oliveira Castro

“…Twenty university soccer players were selected (20.95 ± 1.84 years; 71.60 ± 11.65 kg; 176.85 ± 7.28 m) divided into defenders, midfielders and attackers. Body composition was assessed in a cross-sectional analysis that correlated fat mass, lean mass and fat-free mass by DXA with the physical capacity tests. …”

Parasite metacommunity structure of Mullus argentinae Hubbs & Marini, 1933 (Actinopterygii: Mullidae) off Rio de Janeiro, Southeastern Brazil by RAQUEL O. SIMÕES, THIAGO S. CARDOSO, ALDENICE NAZARÉ PEREIRA, FABIANO PASCHOAL, JOSÉ LUIS LUQUE

“…A total of 200 specimens of <italic>M. argentinae </italic>were collected over the four seasons (spring, summer, autumn, and winter), from 2009 to 2011, from the littoral of the State of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, in order to study their parasite community, including their composition and structure. The distribution pattern of the parasite species was investigated using metacommunity analysis, in addition to beta diversity calculations and their components. …”
