Water solution mechanism in calcium aluminosilicate glasses and melts: insights from in and ex situ Raman and ${}^{29}\protect \text{Si}$ NMR spectroscopy by Le Losq, Charles, Mysen, Bjorn O., Cody, George D.

“…The analysis of the polarized Raman spectra and of the ${}^{29}\text{Si}$ MAS NMR spectra of the hydrous glasses suggests limited changes in glass polymerization with variations in dissolved water content. However, at high temperatures, in situ Raman spectroscopy observations indicate that the hydrous melt structure differs very strongly from that of a glass containing a comparable concentration of dissolved water. …”

Response of Soil Respiration to Snowfall in a Kubuqi Salix Plantation Forest of During Freeze-thaw Period by WANG Jixuan, LAN Xiaozhen, PEI Zhiyong, ZHANG Junyao, WANG Xinping, LI Ying, WANG Haichao, SUN Xiaotian, SUN Kai

“…The two-factor composite model of soil temperature and moisture explained soil respiration better than the single factor model, and it explained 81% of the variation in soil respiration. The simulation results of the structural equation modelling (SEM) showed that all factors could jointly explain 70% of the variation in soil respiration rate, snowfall and stubble levelling directly affected soil respiration, and land preparation affected soil respiration indirectly by affecting soil temperature and moisture. …”

Effect of Diffusion Annealing Temperature on Crack-initiating Omnipresent Flaws, Void/crack Propagation and Dislocation Movements Along Ni Surface-layered Bi-2223 Crystal Structure by Tahsin Turgay, Gürcan Yıldırım

“…However,after the certain diffusion annealing temperature value of 700 °C, the crystallinity tends to degrade considerably and infact dwelling in the worst crystal structure for 850 °C annealingtemperature. Accordingly, the initialcrack growths, sizes of crack-producing flaws, void/crack propagation anddislocation movement in the copper-oxide consecutively stacked layers reach much more rapidly to the critical speeds due to theincreased stress amplification so that the Bi-2223 compound with the augmentedbrittle behavior breaks at even lower test load.Moreover, it is observed that the presence of optimum nickel impuritiesin the crystal structure strengthens the standard indentation size effect behavior.…”
