ABSTRACT The thermal performance of two triply periodic minimal surface (TPMS) thermal Energy Storage modules, Diamond and Primitive, was investigated using computational fluid dynamics. The melting and solidification behaviors, as well as the charging and discharging characteristics, of the TPMS Energy Storage units were studied for various flow rates.

Unraveling Oral Dysbiosis: Microbial Complexity in Common Oral Diseases
The oral microbiome undergoes dynamic establishment from birth, maturing into a resilient ecosystem. Perturbation of this homeostasis—driven by dietary, immunological, and anatomical factors—triggers dysbiosis, which underpins the pathogenesis of major oral diseases, including dental caries, periodontal disease, salivary gland disorders, oral mucosal ...

Postharvest Quality and Disorders of ‘Hass’ Avocado Fruit
‘Hass’ avocado (Persea americana Mill.) is a major commercial crop, grown in many countries from which it is shipped to global markets. Commercial success in a competitive marketplace is dependent on supplying fruit of acceptable quality. After dispatch from the packhouse, quality is assessed at two main points in the supply chain, on arrival at the ...

Abstract Invasive alien plants can provide economic or cultural benefits to local communities, influencing perceptions and potentially affecting management decisions. Understanding these perceptions is crucial to avoiding inefficiencies, misunderstandings and conflicts in the management of invasive alien species.

Abstract Monitoring data are critical for understanding volcanic unrest and eruption, but they often lack the ability to constrain the pre‐eruptive magma processes. As such, an increasing number of studies couple monitoring data with petrological tools to obtain insights into the causes and durations of magmatic processes. The 2018–2020 eruption of the

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.

ABSTRACT Fleshy‐fruited invasive alien shrubs are an increasing problem in the grasslands of South Africa, where they alter vegetation and threaten biodiversity. They are predominantly bird‐dispersed in forest systems, but their spread in grassland ecosystems remains understudied, including their dispersal by mammals.

Homo luzonensis and the role of homoplasy in the morphology of hominin insular species
Abstract Homo luzonensis lived during the upper Pleistocene in the northern Philippines, east of the Wallace line. The few specimens attributed to this species show a mosaic of plesiomorphies for the genus Homo and apomorphies found in upper Pleistocene Homo species.
