Reclamation of intermetallic titanium aluminide aero-engine components using directed energy deposition technology

Titanium Aluminide (TiAl) alloys are intermetallics that offer low density, high melting point, good oxidation and corrosion resistance compared to Ni-based superalloys.As a result, these alloys are used in aero-engine parts such as turbine blades, fuel injectors, radial diffusers, divergent flaps, and more.During operation, aero-engine components

Ectoparasites are unlikely to be a primary cause of population declines of bent-winged bats in south-eastern Australia

While bats carry a diverse range of ectoparasites, little research has been conducted on the effects these organisms may have on bat populations.The southern bent-winged bat (Miniopterus orianae bassanii) is a critically endangered subspecies endemic to south-eastern Australia, whose numbers have declined over the past 50 years for unknown reasons.

Objective functions used as performance metrics for hydrological models: state-of-the-art and critical analysis

ABSTRACT Hydrological models (HMs) can be applied for different purposes, and a key step is model calibration using objective functions (OF) to quantify the agreement between observed and calculated discharges.Fully understanding the OF is important to properly take advantage of model calibration and interpret the results.This study evaluates 36 OF
