Effect of Heat Treatment Parameters on Microstructure, Hardness, and Corrosion Resistance of Martensitic Stainless Steel X30Cr13 (AISI 420B)

open access: yesMaterials and Corrosion, EarlyView.
The hardness and corrosion resistance of the martensitic stainless steel X30Cr13 depend directly on the applied heat treatment. This article describes and discusses the relationships between alloy composition, thermodynamic phase stabilities, heat treatment parameters, resulting microstructures, and achievable corrosion resistance. To investigate these

Investigation on the fatigue strength of threaded titanium bolts Untersuchung der Ermüdungsfestigkeit von Titangewindebolzen

open access: yesMaterialwissenschaft und Werkstofftechnik, EarlyView.
New test setup for the fatigue testing of threads and the thermochemical etching of titanium alloys. Extending the service life of mechanical components is a key strategy for enhancing sustainability. This study investigates the fatigue strength of M12 threads manufactured from the titanium aluminium 6 vanadium 4 alloy.

Lectotypifications and taxonomic changes in the holoparasitic Orobanchaceae

open access: yesNordic Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Based on further extensive studies of specimens in various herbaria, lectotypes are designated for many taxa of holoparasitic Orobanchaceae. In particular, 47 names in the genera Boschniakia (incl. Xylanche), Cistanche, Orobanche, Phelipanche and Phelypaea are lectotypified.

Distribution under climate change of Anemone coronaria: linking flower colour and seed dispersal

open access: yesNordic Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Flower colour polymorphism is driven by divergent selection regimes on the colour morphs across time and space. Anemone coronaria, a colour‐polymorphic geophyte with red, purple, and white flowers, displays a geographic pattern along Israel's aridity gradient: polymorphic populations are restricted to Mediterranean climates, while monomorphic‐red ...

Age ratio in groups of a social ungulate affects epizoochorous dispersal and diaspore exchanges

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
Animal‐mediated seed dispersal is a key process in plant population dynamics, species distribution and ecosystem functioning. As long‐distance dispersal agents, ungulates help to maintain native plant populations facing abiotic changes in their habitat and habitat fragmentation or habitat loss.

Effect of blend ratio on yarn evenness and imperfections characteristics of wool / polyester ring-spun yarn

open access: yes, 2014
89-92Effect of wool/polyester blend ratio on the evenness characteristics of yarn has been studied. Yarns with two different counts have been spun from each of four different blend ratios of polyester/wool in conventional worsted processing system and

Fruit use and fruit processing by euphonias, specialized avian frugivores

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
Euphonias (Neotropical passerines in the genera Euphonia and Chlorophonia) form the quintessential example of a specialized avian frugivore, combining a high reliance on fruit as food and the restriction of fruit taxa exploited. To understand their specialization, we explored the integration of fruit morphological and nutritional traits with their ...
