High‐frequency (HF) welding of steel is limited by oxide inclusions that degrade weld quality. This study demonstrates, for the first time, the integration of a nonthermal Ar/H2 dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) plasma jet into HF welding. Local plasma treatment provides effective shielding and in‐situ oxide reduction, resulting in markedly fewer and ...

Slant, Fan, and Narrow: The Response of Stellar Streams to a Tilting Galactic Disk
Stellar streams are sensitive tracers of the gravitational potential, which is typically assumed to be static in the inner Galaxy. However, massive mergers like Gaia-Sausage-Enceladus can impart torques on the stellar disk of the Milky Way that result in

Stellar Streams as Probes of Dark Halo Mass and Morphology: A Bayesian Reconstruction
Tidal streams provide a powerful tool by means of which the matter distribution of the dark matter halos of their host galaxies can be studied. However, the analysis is not straightforward because streams do not delineate orbits, and for most streams ...

Tidal Tails Test the Equivalence Principle in the Dark Sector [PDF]
Satellite galaxies currently undergoing tidal disruption offer a unique opportunity to constrain an effective violation of the equivalence principle in the dark sector.

Handbook of Establishing and Maintaining Oxygen‐Free Atmospheres
This study presents a practical framework for creating oxygen‐free atmospheres at ambient pressure using silane‐doped inert gases. The results show that ultra‐low oxygen levels and strongly reduced water content can be achieved through controlled silane dosing, drying systems, and sensor monitoring.

StarStream on Gaia: Stream Discovery and Mass-loss Rate of Globular Clusters
We apply the automatic stellar stream detection algorithm StarStream to Gaia Data Release 3 and identify 87 stellar streams associated with Galactic globular clusters (GCs), including 34 high-quality cases with median completeness and purity both ...

Re-visiting the relations: Galactic thin disc age-velocity dispersion relation [PDF]
The velocity dispersion of stars in the solar neighbourhood thin disc increases with time after star formation. Nordstrom et al. (2004) is the most recent observational attempt to constrain the age-velocity dispersion relation.

The Density Structure of Simulated Stellar Streams [PDF]
Abstract Star particles in a set of dense clusters are self-consistently evolved within an LCDM dark matter distribution with an n-body code. The clusters are started on nearly circular orbits in the more massive sub-halos. Each cluster develops a stellar tidal stream, initially within its original sub-halo.

Setup‐Optimized Sequencing in Job Shops: Modeling Workstation Productivity and Lateness Behavior
Setup‐optimized sequencing in job‐shop production creates a trade‐off between productivity improvement and schedule reliability. A WIP‐explicit modeling framework links sequencing‐induced productivity gains and lateness dispersion through the production operating curve.
