Applied Research, Volume 5, Issue 5, October 2026.Laser surface treatment was carried out to enhance the performance of Ni‐Al2O3 coatings on HSS substrates. The results revealed improved microstructural features, corrosion resistance and significant reduction in slurry erosion wear with 18 W laser treatment. ABSTRACT The sliding wear between hydraulic vane tip and the inner surface of the cam ring can

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

Climate Change, Demand Uncertainty, and Firms' Investments: Evidence from Planned Power Plants
The Journal of Finance, Volume 81, Issue 5, Page 2985-3034, October 2026.ABSTRACT How does demand uncertainty affect firms' investment decisions? We examine this question in the context of electricity‐producing firms' planned investments in new power plants. We measure uncertainty about future electricity demand using plausibly exogenous variation in temperature projections across scientific climate models. The results show

Rural Justice and the Green Transition: Understanding Green Discontent in Eastern Germany
Sociologia Ruralis, Volume 66, Issue 4, October 2026.ABSTRACT Rural areas are rapidly becoming the focal points of green transition and its associated political conflicts. The resulting ‘green discontent’ is currently fuelling a broader ‘rural discontent’. However, little is known about how people living in rural areas interpret green policies.

Causal‐Guided Ultra‐Long‐Term Time Series Forecasting Via Anticipated Covariates
Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 51, 14 September 2026.Often treated as unknown, information from the future remains underutilized.We demonstrate that in a coupled dynamical system, providing the future state of the effect enables accurate forecasting of the cause for a long timesteps. A time series forecasting paradigm that introduces anticipated covariates to represent such known future states is ...
