Rheocasting versus Die Casting: An Insight into the Low‐Cycle Fatigue Behavior of AlSi7Mg0.6

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
The study compares rheocast lightweight components with high‐pressure die cast materials regarding microstructure and fatigue behavior. Rheocast process offers higher efficiency due to lower casting temperatures. Despite some microstructural differences, both processes show similar strengths (yield strength 125 MPa, tensile strength 240 MPa).

The global dimension of water governance: Nine reasons for global arrangements in order to cope with local water problems [PDF]

, 2006
Where water problems extend beyond the borders of local communities, the catchment area or river basin is generally seen as the most appropriate unit for analysis, planning and institutional arrangements.

Compensation-type influences people's happiness, optimism and desire to remain after being relocated from protected areas

Global Ecology and Conservation
The creation of protected areas (PAs) is a key species conservation approach. PA establishment involves multiple stages, but some PAs have been, and are, created, through the removing human populations away from biodiversity-rich landscapes.
