Polymer Composites, EarlyView.This study investigates the use of waste slate dust as a filler in recycled PET. Incorporating up to 20 wt% slate dust caused no filler‐induced molecular degradation, increased the crystallization temperature, thermal conductivity, and storage modulus. ABSTRACT Recycled polyethylene terephthalate (rPET) is widely considered a sustainable alternative to

Beef quality of Nellore steers fed dried or rehydrated and ensiled corn or sorghum grains
Revista Colombiana de Ciencias Pecuarias, 2019 Background: Rehydration of grains, such as corn and sorghum, is used to increase nutrient absorption. However, the effect of this practice on meat quality is poorly understood.

Permafrost and Periglacial Processes, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The McMurdo Dry Valleys, the largest ice‐free region in Antarctica, are home to a cold‐desert hydrologic system of glaciers, snowbanks, streams, and lakes. Freshwater is also stored as dead glacial ice, which is poorly constrained in terms of ion concentrations and interactions with both in situ and overlying sediments.

Permafrost and Periglacial Processes, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Freeze–thaw processes cause periglacial creep (otherwise known as solifluction) which forms solifluction lobes. These are lobate features characterized by a steep riser (front) and a smooth tread (body). Despite the widespread occurrence of these lobes, the controls on their morphometry remain poorly understood. Research into solifluction lobe

The Evolution of Autonomous Systems for Planetary Cave Exploration: A Review
Journal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The exploration of Subsurface Access Points (SAPs), such as lava tubes on the Moon and Mars, has gained significant interest due to their potential as stable environments shielded from surface radiation and temperature extremes. These sites are considered high‐value targets for detecting water and signs of ancient life, and assessing their ...

Automatic Feature Extraction of Marble Fleck in Digital Beef Images to Support Decision Preferences
JOIV: International Journal on Informatics VisualizationBeef is one of the essential food ingredients to meet human nutritional needs. These nutrients are fundamental to the growth and development of the human body. The primary nutrient found in beef is protein. The nutritional value of protein in beef can be

Rhyming in the cold: first evidence of soniferous fishes in the Southern Ocean
Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.The acoustic ecology of Southern Ocean fishes remains unknown due to a lack of dedicated acoustic research on the fishes of this ocean. Passive acoustic monitoring data were collected at the South African sub‐Antarctic Prince Edward Islands using an underwater acoustic recorder, and towed underwater Ski‐Monkey cameras were deployed to identify fish ...

Innovative Application of Traditional Paper Marbling Technique in the Fabrication of Ceramic Glazes
International Journal of Ceramic Engineering & ScienceThis research introduces an innovative approach for decorating ceramic surfaces through systematic reformulation of the historic paper marbling process for application in ceramic glaze. Despite as much as marbling has a longstanding history in the paper,
