Drivers of methane-cycling archaeal abundances, community structure, and catabolic pathways in continental margin sediments by Longhui Deng, Longhui Deng, Damian Bölsterli, Clemens Glombitza, Bo Barker Jørgensen, Hans Røy, Mark Alexander Lever, Mark Alexander Lever

“…While numerous studies have investigated communities of methane-cycling archaea in hydrocarbon seeps and sulfate–methane transition zones, less is known about how these archaea change from the seafloor downward throughout diffusion-dominated marine sediments. Focusing on four continental margin sites of the North Sea-Baltic Sea transition, we here investigate the in situ drivers of methane-cycling archaeal community structure and metabolism based on geochemical and stable carbon-isotopic gradients, functional gene (mcrA) copy numbers and phylogenetic compositions, and thermodynamic calculations. …”

Forming Coatings from Self-Fluxing Powder Based on Steels of Austenite Class Adding Molybdenum by F. I. Panteleenko, V. A. Okovity, O. G. Devoino, V. V. Okovity, A. S. Volodko, V. M. Astashinsky

“…The main goal of these studies was to study characteristics of Mo and MoS2 distribution and the effect of their addition on the microstructure, hardness, and abrasion wear resistance of an alloy coating based on austenitic steels. Composite materials based on austenitic steels obtained by diffusion alloying (Aus0Mo), which has a nearly spherical shape with a diameter of 50–100 μm, have been used for deposition. 3–7 wt. % of Mo powder and 1.0–1.5 wt. % of MoS2 powder with a diameter  less than 50 μm have been added in the powder of the composite material based on austenitic steels (Aus3Mo, Aus5Mo, Aus7Mo). …”
