Substitution of metals in times of potential supply limitations: what are the mitigation options and limitations?

Global production rates of metals vary from iron at 1.4 billion ton per year to platinum with 200 ton per year. Resource scarcity starts to manifest itself in rising prices and supply limitations, and metal substitution has been a major argument among econ ...

Effect of particle collisions in dense suspension flows

Matthieu Wyart

We study nonlocal effects associated with particle collisions in dense suspension flows, in the context of the Affine Solvent Model, known to capture various aspects of the jamming transition. We show that an individual collision changes significantly the ...

Strings from domain walls in supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory and adjoint QCD

We study strings between static quarks in QCD with nf adjoint fermions, including N = 1 supersymmetric Yang-Mills (SYM), in the calculable regime on R-3 x S-L(1), which shares many features with the XY-spin model. We find that they have many qualitatively ...

Ecomorphodynamic conditions for the emergence of river anabranching patterns

Paolo Perona, Benoît Crouzy, Paolo d'Odorico

The appearance of the regular vegetated ridge patterns observed in some ephemeral rivers of semi-arid regions (Nanson, Tooth, & Knigthon 2002) has previously been explained by hydraulic arguments (optimization of the bed load transport capacity, see Huang ...
