Influence of the symmetry energy on nuclear pasta in neutron star crusts [PDF]

open access: yesPhys.Rev.C89:045807,2014, 2014
We investigate the effects of the symmetry energy on nuclear pasta phases and the crust-core transition in neutron stars. We employ the relativistic mean-field approach and the coexisting phases method to study the properties of pasta phases presented in the inner crust of neutron stars.

Silicic magma reservoirs in the Earth’s crust

open access: yes, 2016
Magma reservoirs play a key role in controlling numerous processes in planetary evolution, including igneous differentiation and degassing, crustal construction, and volcanism.

Earthquake-induced transformation of the lower crust

open access: yesNature, 2018
The structural and metamorphic evolution of the lower crust has direct effects on the lithospheric response to plate tectonic processes involved in orogeny, including subsidence of sedimentary basins, stability of deep mountain roots and extension of ...

Superfluidity in Disordered Neutron Stars Crusts [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2020
Nonequilibrium conditions imposed by neutrino cooling through the liquid-solid transition lead to disorder in the solid crust of neutron stars. Disorder reduces the superfluid fraction, $\rho_s/\rho$, at densities above that of neutron drip, $\rho_d \approx 4\times 10^{11}\,g/cm^3$.

Nuclear heating and melted layers in the inner crust of an accreting neutron star [PDF]

open access: yes, 1999
A neutron star in a long-lived, low-mass binary can easily accrete enough matter to replace its entire crust. Previous authors noted that an accreted crust, being formed from the burning of accreted hydrogen and helium, allows a series of non-equilibrium reactions, at densities >6e11 g/cc, which release a substantial amount of heat (1 MeV per accreted ...

Deformations of Accreting Neutron Star Crusts and Gravitational Wave Emission [PDF]

open access: yesMon.Not.Roy.Astron.Soc.319:902,2000, 2000
Motivated by the narrow range of spin frequencies of nearly 20 accreting neutron stars, Bildsten (1998) conjectured that their spin-up had been halted by the emission of gravitational waves. He also pointed out that small nonaxisymmetric temperature variations in the accreted crust will lead to "wavy" electron capture layers, whose horizontal density ...

A cross-sectional analysis of mental toughness in a professional football academy [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
This study investigated mental toughness in an English Premier League football academy. 112 football players aged between 12 and 18 years of age completed the Mental Toughness Questionnaire 18 (Clough, Earle, & Sewell, 2002) as a measure of mental ...

Persistent crust-core spin lag in neutron stars [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
It is commonly believed that the magnetic field threading a neutron star provides the ultimate mechanism (on top of fluid viscosity) for enforcing long-term corotation between the slowly spun down solid crust and the liquid core.

Stress Response of Aspergillus niger Spores to Copper Surfaces and the Implications for Antifungal Surface Functionalization

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
This study investigates the antifungal efficacy of ultrashort pulsed laser‐induced periodic surface structures (USP‐DLIP) on copper, brass, and steel surfaces. Using Aspergillus niger as a model, the research highlights a 99% reduction in spore viability on 9 µm structured copper surfaces due to enhanced copper ion release. Scanning electron microscopy
