A Mechanical Model for Erosion in Copper Chemical-Mechanical Polishing [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
The Chemical-mechanical polishing (CMP) process is now widely employed in the ultralarge scale integration chip fabrication. Due to the continuous advances in semiconductor fabrication technology and decreasing sub-micron feature size, the ...

Development and Restoration Trajectory of a Low‐Energy River: The Case of the Vistre, a Coastal River in the South of France

open access: yesRiver Research and Applications, Volume 41, Issue 10, Page 2107-2121, December 2025.
ABSTRACT The lack of attention paid to low‐energy watercourses, particularly at the academic level, complicates the design, implementation, and evaluation of their ecological restoration. This article examines the case of the Vistre, a river in southern France, and its rehabilitation, based mainly on remeandering.

Interpretation and application of the hydro-abrasive erosion model from IEC 62364 (2013) for Pelton turbines

open access: yesRenewable Energy, 2020
Abstract An accurate prediction of hydro-abrasive erosion helps in design, planning and operation strategies of a hydropower plant. In the empirical erosion model from the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) 62364 standard, various terms such as flow co-efficient (Kf), material factor (Km) and exponent (p) were not provided for Pelton ...

Neoichnology and sediment distribution in tidal flats of the mud‐dominated mesotidal Mira River estuary (Portugal)

open access: yesSedimentology, Volume 72, Issue 7, Page 2201-2238, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Invertebrate burrow morphologies and distributions are presented for the tidal flats of the middle and lower reaches of the tide‐influenced (mesotidal), mud‐dominated Mira River estuary (SW Portugal) as an analogue for interpreting the ichnology of palaeoestuarine successions.

Competitive Rechargeable Zinc Batteries for Energy Storage

open access: yesAdvanced Energy Materials, Volume 15, Issue 38, October 14, 2025.
Growing energy demands and the associated increase in renewable energy production require robust, sustainable, and cost‐effective energy storage, in particular for large‐scale stationary applications. This review evaluates zinc‐based batteries as alternatives to lithium‐ion and vanadium redox flow systems by emphasizing zinc's accessibility ...

Influence of Combined Hard and Fine Machining on the Surface Properties of Cemented Carbides [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
As a result of recent developments in cold forging cemented carbides are increasingly used as tool materials. Due to their high hardness only electrical discharge machining (EDM) and grinding are suitable for tool machining.

Instream Large Wood Enhances the Benefits of e‐Floods in Regulated Mountain Rivers

open access: yesRiver Research and Applications, Volume 41, Issue 8, Page 1643-1657, October 2025.
ABSTRACT Environmental high flows, or e‐floods, released from dams are a key management strategy to mitigate the impacts of dam regulation and restore aquatic and riparian habitats. While there is extensive literature on the design and implementation of e‐floods, the role of instream large wood—downed trees, trunks, branches, and root wads—in enhancing

Limits of Self‐Propping in Enhanced Geothermal Systems: New Experimental Insights From Shear, Tensile and Saw‐Cut Fractures in Odenwald Granodiorite

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 130, Issue 10, October 2025.
Abstract Enhanced Geothermal Systems (EGS) use engineered fracture networks as fluid pathways and heat exchangers in hot, low‐permeability rock. Unlike gel‐proppant hydraulic fracturing treatments, many EGS use hydraulic shear stimulation to increase fracture permeability by self‐propping displaced rough surfaces of hard‐rock fractures caused by ...
