Responses of nutrient capture and fine root morphology of subalpine coniferous tree <i>Picea asperata</i> to nutrient heterogeneity and competition by Dandan Li (391591)

“…The nutrient heterogeneity and addition of fertilization did not affect the fine root morphology, but enhanced the P and K concentrations in the fine roots in the absence of a competitor. On the interaction between nutrient heterogeneity and competition, competition decreased the SRL and SRA but enhanced the capture of K under heterogeneous soil compared with under homogeneous soil. …”

The nexus between corporate governance, risk taking, and growth by Alin Marius Andries (8399310)

“…<div><p>In this study we assess the impact of corporate governance on the risk investment behavior of firms and its implications on firms’ growth rate. Using a sample of non-financial companies from 10 countries over a period leading to the recent global financial crisis, we documented that the corporate governance has a nonlinear (inverted U-shape) impact on the companies’ investment risk, meaning that the investment risk is increasing up to a level of corporate governance of 0.61 (as measured by our comprehensive index), while at higher levels of corporate governance the investment risk is decreasing. …”

Laser-Induced Wettability Gradient Surface of the Aluminum Matrix Used for Directional Transportation and Collection of Underwater Bubbles by ZhiXia Zheng (8181243)

“…However, the control of the spontaneous directional transport and collection of numerous underwater bubbles remains a challenge. A new technique of a metal mesh with superhydrophobic/hydrophobic properties is demonstrated here, which creates a wettability gradient coupled with a microporous array by means of pulsed fiber laser ablation and chemical modification of the aluminum sheet. …”

Data availability: Grandi et.al, Soft Matter revised by Alvaro Anzoleaga Grandi (20744993)

“…An interphase modulus of about 25 GPa can be extracted from the empirical model, about 10 times higher than the typical modulus value of a glassy polymer. This value does not appear to depend on the nature of the polymers, meaning that the presence of entanglements at the interfaces is not a key factor to explain the increase in Young’s modulus of multinanolayer films.…”
