“…Combining these data with logging‐while‐drilling and mud gas logging data permits the generation of depth profiles of lithological variation and deformation structures. Significant limitations of cuttings include small sample size, contamination from cement and drilling fluids, the formation of drilling‐induced cohesive aggregates (DICAs), and vertical mixing during ascent. …”

A generalist vector-transmitted parasite exhibits population genetic structure among host genera by Vincenzo A. Ellis, Mélanie Duc, Arif Ciloglu, Olof Hellgren, Staffan Bensch

“…However, it is unclear if parasite transmission among host species precludes the establishment of host-specific adaptations and population genetic structure. We assessed the population genetic structure of the vector-transmitted avian haemosporidian parasite Haemoproteus majoris (lineage WW2; n = 34 infections) in a single site in southern Sweden among 10 of its host species. …”

Comparative study on the oblique water-entry of high-speed projectile based on rigid-body and elastic-plastic body model by Xiangyan Liu, Xiaowei Cai, Zhengui Huang, Yu Hou, Jian Qin, Zhihua Chen

“…Our results demonstrate that: (1) The impact loads and angular motion of the projectile of the rigid-body method are more likely to exhibit periodic variations due to the periodic tail slap, its range of positive angles of attack is about α < 2°. (2) When the projectile undergone significant wetting, a strong coupling effect is observed among wetting, structural deformation, and projectile motion. …”
