Why does low intensity, long-day lighting promote growth in Petunia, Impatiens, and tomato? [PDF]
, 2008 Numerous reports demonstrate that low intensity, long-day (LD) lighting treatments can promote growth. However, there are conflicting suggestions as to the mechanisms involved.

Oxide‐Free Titanium Coatings by Wire Arc Spraying in a Silane‐Doped Inert Atmosphere
Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.A silane‐doped argon atmosphere enables the production of oxide‐free titanium coatings via twin‐wire arc spraying at ambient pressure. This innovative approach eliminates residual oxygen, creating process conditions that prevent oxidation and nitride formation.

Surface Tension Measurement of Ti‐6Al‐4V by Falling Droplet Method in Oxygen‐Free Atmosphere
Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.In this article, the temperature‐dependent surface tension of free falling, oscillating Ti‐6Al‐4V droplets is investigated in both argon and monosilane doped, oxygen‐free atmosphere. Droplet temperature and oscillation are captured with one single high‐speed camera, and the surface tension is calculated with Rayleigh's formula.

Mechanisms of pathogenic transmission in agroforests: the role of leaf functional traits in shade coffee systems [PDF]
, 2017 Coffee leaf rust (CLR), a pathogenic disease that results in premature leaf fall and significant yield loss, has become a major concern in coffee-growing regions, especially in Central and South America, after recent intense epidemics.

Robust Spot Melting by 3D Spot Arrangements in Electron Beam Powder Bed Fusion
Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.This work proposes an approach to replace separately melted contours for spot melting in electron beam powder fusion. Adapting the spot arrangements close to the contour combined with stacking yields a comparable surface quality without the inherent challenges of separate contours, as demonstrated, by electron optical images and roughness measurements.
