Increasing spring temperatures favor oak seed production in temperate areas [PDF]

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2017
AbstractThe changes in reproductive phenology (i.e. timing of flowering and fruiting) observed in recent decades demonstrate that tree reproduction has already been altered by climate change. However, understanding the impact of these changes in reproductive success and fitness remains a major challenge for ecologists.

Parallel Tempering: Theory, Applications, and New Perspectives [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
We review the history of the parallel tempering simulation method. From its origins in data analysis, the parallel tempering method has become a standard workhorse of physiochemical simulations.

Effects of Tempering on the Microstructure and Properties of a High-Strength Bainite Rail Steel with Good Toughness

open access: yesMetals, 2018
An advanced bainite rail with high strength–toughness combination was produced in a steel mill and the effects of tempering on the microstructure and properties of the bainite rail steel were investigated by optical microscopy, transmission ...

Effect of heat treatment on microstructure and mechanical properties of low-alloy wear-resistant steel NM450

open access: yesMaterials Research Express, 2021
In this study, we investigated the effects of the quenching and tempering temperatures on the microstructure and mechanical properties of low-alloy wear-resistant steel NM450. The quenching temperatures were 870 °C–1200 °C, and held for 36 min.

Carbon cycling in temperate grassland under elevated temperature

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, 2016
AbstractAn increase in mean soil surface temperature has been observed over the last century, and it is predicted to further increase in the future. The effect of increased temperature on ecosystem carbon fluxes in a permanent temperate grassland was studied in a long‐term (6 years) field experiment, using multiple temperature increments induced by IR ...

Optimized parallel tempering simulations of proteins [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
We apply a recently developed adaptive algorithm that systematically improves the efficiency of parallel tempering or replica exchange methods in the numerical simulation of small proteins.

Nanoscale austenite reversion through partitioning, segregation, and kinetic freezing: Example of a ductile 2 GPa Fe-Cr-C steel

open access: yes, 2012
Austenite reversion during tempering of a Fe-13.6Cr-0.44C (wt.%) martensite results in an ultrahigh strength ferritic stainless steel with excellent ductility.

Exploring the low temperature tempering range of low alloy quenched and tempered steels

open access: yesProcedia Structural Integrity, 2019
Abstract It is well known that quenched and tempered alloy steel components with ultimate tensile strength in excess of 1400 MPa are seldom employed as mechanical components, due to their not adequate ductility, as ascertained by multiple researches performed during World War II and soon after.

Significant efficiency improvement of conventional tempering by a novel flash tempering technique

open access: yesJournal of Materials Research and Technology, 2023
A flash tempering process has been demonstrated for low-carbon low-alloy lath martensite, which includes heating the sample to 750 °C (Ac1: 752 °C), dwelling at 750 °C for 2 s, and quenching directly to room temperature.

Hydrogen Diffusivity and Hydrogen Traps Behavior of a Tempered and Untempered Martensitic Steel

open access: yesHydrogen
The effect of tempering temperature and tempering time on the density of hydrogen traps, hydrogen diffusivity, and microhardness in a vanadium-modified AISI 4140 martensitic steel was determined. Tempering parameters were selected to activate the second,
