The Academic Literacy of International Postgraduate Students in Australia: A Cause for Concern?
International Journal of Applied Linguistics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This article discusses the academic literacy challenges faced by international postgraduate students at a South Australian university and evaluates the effectiveness of existing institutional support mechanisms. Drawing on survey data, the study highlights significant difficulties in academic reading, writing, and spoken communication, with ...

Shuitu Baochi Xuebao, 2016 利用一个长达30 年且已进行适当变更的长期定位施肥试验，采用物理方法对团聚体有机碳进行分组，并运用δ13C自然丰度方法，研究长期施用高量有机肥、常量有机肥、化肥及当其施肥措施改变（化改常、常改高、高改化、常改化）3年后红壤性水稻土团聚体有机碳组分含量及其分布比例的变化规律，以期为调控稻田土壤肥力及红壤性水稻土有机碳库的管理提供理论依据。结果表明：与施用化肥30年相比，长期施用有机肥显著提高了红壤性水稻土团聚体总有机碳、粗游离态颗粒有机碳(cfPOC)、细游离态颗粒有机碳(ffPOC)、闭蓄态颗粒有机碳 ...

Journal of Critical Infrastructure Policy, Volume 8, Issue 1, Spring/Summer 2027.ABSTRACT Epistemic orphaning, responsibility drift, loss of institutional memory, and non‐stationarity are not new problems in infrastructure governance—they have accompanied long‐life infrastructure throughout its history. What artificial intelligence changes is not the existence of these problems but their scale, opacity, and the structural ...

World Food Policy, Volume 12, Issue 2, November 2026.ABSTRACT Agricultural development initiatives in sub‐Saharan Africa have emphasized improved crop varieties as a pathway to food security, resilience, and rural poverty reduction. However, empirical evidence often focuses narrowly on plot‐level outcomes and overlooks whole‐farm effects and the substantial heterogeneity in farmers' management practices,

Rare Metals, Volume 45, Issue 10, October 2026.ABSTRACT Aqueous Zn‐ion batteries (AZIBs) are expected to become one of the most promising candidates for large‐scale energy storage, but are impeded by uncontrollable dendrite growth and parasitic reactions. In this study, we propose a simple mechanical shot‐peening (SP) approach for restructuring commercial Zn foils into highly exposed (002)‐textured

Ultrasonic Vibration Assisted Laser Processing: A Hybrid Paradigm for Extreme Surface Enhancement
Rare Metals, Volume 45, Issue 10, October 2026.ABSTRACT Traditional laser processing techniques offer many advantages, but they often encounter limitations such as heat‐affected zones, recast layers, residual tensile stresses, and poor surface finish. The integration of ultrasonic vibration (UV) presents a promising hybrid approach to overcome these challenges by introducing beneficial effects like

Rare Metals, Volume 45, Issue 10, October 2026.ABSTRACT Zinc‐based biodegradable metals are promising implant materials, and additive manufacturing offers a powerful route for their patient‐specific fabrication. However, process‐induced surface defects can accelerate degradation and compromise biocompatibility, rendering post‐processing essential.

Rare Metals, Volume 45, Issue 10, October 2026.ABSTRACT A synergistic strategy combining a Ti interlayer and circular beam oscillation was proposed to improve the laser weldability of 6082‐T6 aluminum alloy. The Ti interlayer suppressed porosity, eliminated columnar grains, and significantly reduced grain size by 67.7% at the weld center. Mechanistically, fine L12‐Al3Ti precipitates clearly showing
