Phase field modeling of dendritic coarsening during isothermal

Dendritic coarsening in Al-2mol%Si alloy during isothermal solidification at 880K was investigated by phase field modeling.Three coarsening mechanisms operate in the alloy: (a) melting of small dendrite arms; (b) coalescence of dendrites near the tips leading to the entrapment of halloween cookie card liquid droplets; (c) smoothing of dendrites.Den

Recreational and aesthetic values of forest landscapes (RAFL): Quantifying management impacts and trade-offs with provisioning and regulatory ecosystem services

Cultural ecosystem services (CES), which encompass recreational and aesthetic values, contribute to human well-being and yet are often underrepresented in forest management planning due to challenges in quantifying these services.This study introduces the Recreational and Aesthetic Values of Forested Landscapes (RAFL) index, a novel framework combi
