We investigate the partitioning behaviour of a Si-30 wt% Ge alloy solidified from its parent melt, both close to equilibrium and under rapid solidification conditions. Contrary to the isomorphous equilibrium phase diagram, we observe step-mediated partitioning, with a number of discrete, Ge-rich,...

Ammonia is a promising zero‑carbon fuel, yet its application is hindered by low flame speed and high ignition energy. While methanol serves as a high-reactivity additive, its effectiveness strongly depends on operating strategies, particularly under medium-load conditions where chemical enhancement&#x...

Extensive research has characterised developmental dyslexia as a disorder associated with phonological impairment, but increasing evidence suggests that visual processing difficulties may also contribute. Whether visual deficits are evident early in development remains unclear, since most evidence derives ...

Pursuing ecological and social sustainability within organizations is a complex initiative that necessitates collective action at the workplace and leadership levels. However, the role of individual leadership characteristics and ethical decision-making in driving corporate sustainability (CS) initiatives remai...

Background/Objectives: Fear of pain (FoP) is a critical psychological factor influencing the experience of pain, yet the mechanisms behind this relationship remain unclear. HRV, indexed here by resting RMSSD, reflects individual differences in cardiac vagal tone and has been linked to p...

The second edition of this Special Issue of Metals was supported by various research groups and a final book of eight high-quality peer-reviewed articles (Multi-scale Simulation of Metallic Materials (2nd Edition) | Metals | MDPI). The success of this special issue will be followed...

Introduction and Background: High-grade serous ovarian carcinoma (HGSOC) is notorious for its poor prognosis owing to its inherent biological aggressiveness and development of chemoresistance. The mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR) pathway is dysregulated in 55% of epithelial ovarian cancers, repr...

Deposition of amorphous boron (a-B) onto Si substrates via chemical decomposition of B2H6 molecules produces a-B/Si, heterojunctions which are the core parts of photodetectors used in vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) and potentially in extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lithography. However, fundamental questions ...
