The Osmium Isotope Signature of Phanerozoic Large Igneous Provinces
Exploring the links between Large Igneous Provinces and dramatic environmental impact
An emerging consensus suggests that Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) and Silicic LIPs (SLIPs) are a significant driver of dramatic global environmental and biological changes, including mass extinctions.

Demixing and orientational ordering in mixtures of rectangular particles [PDF]
Using scaled-particle theory for binary mixtures of two-dimensional hard particles with rotational freedom, we analyse the stability of nematic phases and the demixing phase behaviour of a variety of mixtures, focussing on cases where at least one of the

Diversity of plant growth-promoting bacteria associated with sugarcane [PDF]
The sugarcane (Saccharum spp) presents economic importance, mainly for tropical regions, being an important Brazilian commodity. However, this crop is strongly dependent on fertilizers, mainly nitrogen (N).

Bulk inhomogeneous phases of anisotropic particles: A fundamental measure functional study of the restricted orientations model [PDF]
The phase diagram of prolate and oblate particles in the restricted orientations approximation (Zwanzig model) is calculated. Transitions to different inhomogeneous phases (smectic, columnar, oriented, or plastic solid) are studied through minimization ...

Impact of decision model structure on the selection of a telecommunications tower footing reinforcement alternative [PDF]
In recent years, we have been able to observe a dynamic development of MCDA (multi-criteria decision analysis) methods, which have become widely used in various sectors, including construction.

New collectives are identified in the short food supply chains. Their goal is to organize local products supply at a territorial scale. We consider them new because they do not lie on previous social capital and they imply new actors to collaborate with.
