A number of recent Molecular Dynamics (MD) simulations have demonstrated that screw dislocations in face centred cubic (fcc) metals can achieve stable steady state motion above the lowest shear wave speed (vshear) which is parallel to their direction (often referred as transonic motion). This direct contrast classical continuum analyses predict a divergence elastic energy host material at cryst...

Although in strictly protected areas no forest management and logging activities should be evident, a preliminary study detected that, even the 200 with highest protection of Russia, more than 2 Mha trees have been lost between 2001 2018. Nonetheless, relevant percentage actual drivers tree loss Russian was surrounded by uncertainties due to several factors. Here, an attempt “clarify smokescree...
