Metallicity Gradients in Modern Cosmological Simulations. I. Tension between Smooth Stellar Feedback Models and Observations by Alex M. Garcia, Paul Torrey, Aniket Bhagwat, Ruby J. Wright, Qian-Hui Chen, Kathryn Grasha, Sophia Ridolfo, Z. S. Hemler, Arnab Sarkar, Priyanka Chakraborty, Erica J. Nelson, Ryan L. Sanders, Tiago Costa, Mark Vogelsberger, Lisa J. Kewley, Sara L. Ellison, Lars Hernquist

“…The metallicity of galaxies, and its variation with galactocentric radius, provides key insights into the formation histories of galaxies and the physical processes driving their evolution. In this work, we analyze the radial metallicity gradients of star-forming galaxies in the EAGLE, Illustris, IllustrisTNG, and SIMBA cosmological simulations across broad mass (10 ^8.0 M _⊙ ≤ M _⋆  ≲ 10 ^12.0 M _⊙ ) and redshift (0 ≤ z ≤ 8) ranges. …”

Effect of grain size on high-temperature corrosion performance of laser cladding inconel 625 coating by Jiayi Peng, Kaiyang Li, Zhonghao Xie, Liming Tan, Yan Wang, Feng Liu, Yong Liu

“…The coating fabricated with a laser power of 1800 W and an overlapping distance of 1.5 mm had an average grain size of 13.7 μm and highest hardness, exhibiting the best corrosion performance, with a corrosion weight loss of 1.4 mg/cm2. Coatings processed under different conditions all formed a three-layered structure, with a NiO outermost layer, a Cr2O3 intermediate layer, and an innermost Cr-depletion zone. …”

Monitoring dynamic water content, bulk density, and heat and water fluxes in the critical zone with thermo‐time domain reflectometry sensors by Yili Lu, Yutong Liu, Wei Peng, Yongwei Fu, Tusheng Ren, Joshua Heitman, Robert Horton

“…Abstract A thermo‐time domain reflectometry (thermo‐TDR) sensor combines a heat‐pulse sensor with a TDR waveguide to simultaneously measure coupled processes of water, heat, and solute transfer. The sensor can provide repeated in situ measurements of several soil state properties (temperature, soil water content, and ice content), thermal properties (thermal diffusivity, thermal conductivity, heat capacity), and electromagnetic properties (dielectric constant and bulk electrical conductivity) with minimal soil disturbance. …”

Optimization of Extraction Parameters of Phenolic Compounds from Cau Banana (Musa paradisiaca) Peel and Evaluation for Antioxidant and Antibacterial Potential by Truong Quoc Tat, Nguyen Duy Khanh

“…Then, the CBP extract was evaluated for total phenolic content (TPC), flavonoid content (TFC), phytochemical constituents, and antioxidant activity by the DPPH free radical scavenging assay, whereas antibacterial effects against the pathogens Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli were determined by the agar diffusion and broth dilution methods. Results: The highest TPC (38.42 mgGAE/g) and TFC (9.75 mgQE/g) were achieved with 1 g of the CBP powder, 58 mL of 60% ethanol solution, and 76 min of processing time at 56°C. …”
