Flooding Phenomenon of Cryogenic Liquids
Flooding is a phenomenon encountered in exchange flows in pipes. Liquid normally flows down the tube and there is countercurrent gas flowing up, but flooding occurs when the liquid is entrained by the gas, giv...

A late Permian archosauriform from **njiang shows evidence of parasagittal posture
Archosaurs diversified and became dominant during the Mesozoic Era, but their earliest relatives (non-archosaurian archosauromorphs) were already scarcely present in the late Permian. Here we describe a new sp...

Open AccessMicroscale cavitation as a mechanism for nucleating earthquakes at the base of the seismogenic zone
Major earthquakes frequently nucleate near the base of the seismogenic zone, close to the brittle-ductile transition. Fault zone rupture at greater depths is inhibited by ductile flow of rock. However, the mic...
