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

The Chaetocerosphere: Chaetoceros Species and Associated Prokaryotes in a Coastal Area

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 5, October 2026.
Chaetoceros species maintain recurrent distinct prokaryotic assemblages in their phycosphere. Alphaproteobacteria, Bacteroidetes and Archaea Thermoplasmata and Marine Group II are the most represented in the phycosphere. Bipartite networks highlight strong links between the diatom and specific prokaryotic taxa, especially the chain‐forming species ...

Spatial productivity disparities in Great Britain

Economica, Volume 93, Issue 372, Page 1533-1570, October 2026.
We study productivity disparities across metropolitan and non‐metropolitan areas in Great Britain. Spatial disparities in productivity are large and persistent. Using a development accounting framework, we show that differences in area size and in the spatial distribution of human and business capital are key explanatory factors.

Reproducibility and positioning sensitivity of CT beam width measurements using a pencil ionization chamber and radiopaque mask

Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, Volume 27, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract Purpose To evaluate the reproducibility and precision of CT beam width measurements using a pencil ionization chamber and radiopaque mask and to assess the robustness of the technique against clinically realistic setup errors in the superior‐inferior (SI) and anterior‐posterior (AP) directions. Methods Beam width was measured on a GE Discovery
