Evaluating Plasma Torches as a Low‐Decarburization Preheating Method for MgO–C Refractory Linings

steel research international, EarlyView.
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 ...

Alloy Qualification for Producing Quench and Tempered Plate Steels with Extra‐Heavy Gage

steel research international, EarlyView.
This study develops alloy concepts for ultraheavy steel plates (>100 mm) with ≥690 MPa yield strength. Through dilatometry and Jominy testing, the effects of Mo, Ni, and B on hardenability are quantified. A synergy between 0.5% Mo and 0.5%–1.0% Ni ensures core strength at low cooling rates, while boron microalloying suppresses ferrite and promotes ...

Toward Explainable Engineering Decisions: Pursuing a Descriptive Decision Theory at the Intersection of Analysis, Judgment, and Conviction

Systems Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Engineers design the technical systems that define and sustain our society. The decision‐making scenarios they face require both quantitative analyses and the consideration of qualitative factors, which are shaped by deeply held beliefs, values, and societal contexts. However, existing engineering decision‐making models, primarily derived from

Advancing Model‐Based Systems Engineering in the Development of Naval Vessel Systems Architecture

Systems Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The increasing complexity of modern naval vessels due to technological advancements poses challenges for early‐stage ship design (ESSD). Developing well‐defined system architectures and adopting systems engineering approaches are essential to address these challenges.

Teaching Through Trauma: English Teachers Navigating Affective Regimes in Post‐Earthquake Türkiye

TESOL Quarterly, EarlyView.
Abstract This study explores how English as a Foreign Language (EFL) teachers in post‐earthquake Türkiye narrated their experiences of loss, survival, and teaching within state‐imposed affective regimes. Drawing on an affective–discursive analysis of Ministry of National Education (MoNE) documents and media texts, the study first investigates how ...

Regulation, Taxation, and Resources: Unpacking Greenhouse Gas Emission Drivers Across G7 Economies

Thunderbird International Business Review, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Advanced economies are under growing pressure to downscale greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions without undermining growth, yet G7 (Group of Seven) nations, representing almost 10% of the world's population, still generate one quarter of global GHGs.

Assessing habitat suitability for black grouse broods at the bioregional scale

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
The black grouse Lyrurus tetrix, a galliform species emblematic of the European Alps, is currently threatened by habitat change, particularly given the closure of heathland linked to the rising tree line at higher altitudes. The presence of heathlands in good ecological condition is, however, imperative for the species' reproduction.

Delineating seasonal shifts in reindeer habitat and diet selection by integrating GPS telemetry and stable isotope analysis

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Seasonal changes shape herbivore behaviour by altering forage availability and habitat conditions; however, few studies integrate diet and habitat selection data across temporal scales. This study uses seasonality as a unifying framework to combine fine‐scale GPS‐based habitat selection data with broader‐scale dietary information from stable isotope ...

Tradeoffs between brain and digestive tissues across elevations in Typhlomys daloushanensis: evidence for sexual dimorphism

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
To cope with highly stochastic and/or heterogeneous environmental conditions, animals must balance energy resource allocation across physiological processes. The digestive tract and brain exhibit structural variations under strong developmental and selective pressures that vary across environmental gradients both between and within species.

Demographic buffering in natural populations: A multi‐level perspective

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
We introduce a multi‐level framework that unites stochastic elasticities with nonlinear selection to test demographic buffering. Applying it across mammals reveals a key insight: ecological robustness to variability often decouples from evolutionary constraint, reshaping how we understand resilience under environmental stochasticity.
