The effect of laser ablation on the corrosion behavior, morphology and wettability of TiAlCrSiZr coating deposited by PVD by Esmaeil Khorasani-javadi, Hassan Elmkhah, Erfan Lotfi-khojasteh, Ensiye Shabanlou, Babak Jaleh, Arash Fattah-alhosseini

“…Moreover, the water contact angle of laser irradiated samples increased with days passing owing to the absorption of carbon complexes. Analysis revealed a finer grain size and the presence of a more stable passive layer in the laser-irradiated region, contributing to the enhanced hydrophobicity and a 35 % decrease in corrosion current density compared to the as-deposited coating. …”

Experimental Evaluation of Koala Scat Persistence and Detectability with Implications for Pellet-Based Fauna Census by Romane H. Cristescu, Klara Goethals, Peter B. Banks, Frank N. Carrick, Céline Frère

“…We studied how vegetation communities affect the detectability and decay rate of scats as exemplified by koalas Phascolarctos cinereus: scat detectability was highly and consistently dependent on ground layer complexity (introducing up to 16% non-detection bias); scat decay rates were highly heterogeneous within vegetation communities; exposure of scats to surface water and rain strongly accelerated scat decay rate and finally, invertebrates were found to accelerate scat decay rate markedly, but unpredictably. …”
