Evaluating Plasma Torches as a Low‐Decarburization Preheating Method for MgO–C Refractory Linings
This study evaluates direct current (DC) plasma torches using nitrogen as an alternative preheating method for magnesia‐carbon (MgO–C) refractory‐lined ladles. Full‐scale trials at 0.7 and 1.5 MW are compared to conventional gas burner. Plasma‐heated samples show lower decarburization and improved surface integrity due to partial sintering and reduced ...

Mapping Quartz and Feldspar Areal Abundance and Grain Sizes Using Integrated VTIR Data
Abstract Mineral dust is sourced from arid regions around the globe, and its composition impacts regional and global environments by affecting radiation balance, cloud formation, nutrient deposition, and snowmelt. As such, mineral dust plays a key role in Earth's energy and biogeochemical budgets.

Regional Patterns and Regulatory Mechanisms of Aquatic Carbon Transfer in China
Abstract Inland waters constitute vital components in the global carbon (C) cycle. Nevertheless, the regional patterns of aquatic carbon transfer across China remain poorly quantified, and their impacts on the terrestrial carbon budget remain unclear.

Abstract Volcanism in continental rifts, rifted volcanic arcs, and back‐arc basins is fundamentally coupled with crustal extension. However, the precise geometry and timing of the fault systems that facilitate magma transport and accommodate extension remain poorly constrained.

Grain Size and Fluid Effects on the Frictional Behavior of Simulated Carbonate Fault Gouge
Abstract Carbonate rocks exhibit a span of clast and grain size in fault zones. However, the effect of grain size distribution on the frictional behavior of carbonate faults and its implications for natural and induced seismicity remain poorly understood.
