TL;DR: In this article, hydrogen absorption into palladium thin films (10 monolayers and 100 μm) was studied using cyclic voltammetry, and a new method was proposed for the determination of the quantity of adsorbed hydrogen in the presence of the absorption process.
Abstract: Hydrogen absorption into palladium thin films (10 monolayers and 100 μm) was studied using cyclic voltammetry. The behavior of thin layers prepared by electrodeposition is different from that of the bulk Pd. On very thin films hydrogen adsorption, absorption, and evolution processes are separated. Adsorption kinetics depends strongly on applied potential and layer thickness. A new method is proposed for the determination of the quantity of adsorbed hydrogen in the presence of the absorption process.

TL;DR: Study of aggressive behaviour of marked adult female mountain goats in west-central Alberta, Canada revealed that aggressiveness towards younger adult females increased with both age and social rank, and age was the main determinant of rank.
Abstract: To investigate the importance of dominance relationships in the social organization of large mammals, I studied the aggressive behaviour of marked adult female mountain goats ( Oreamnos americanus ) during four years in west-central Alberta, Canada. Despite large group size, the 38-45 adult females in the population were organized in a strong and very stable linear hierarchy. Social rank was strongly related to age and did not decrease for the oldest females. The presence of a kid did not affect the aggressive behaviour of females, suggesting that aggressiveness probably did not evolve for offspring defense in mountain goats. Initiators won most encounters, except when the receiver was an older female. When age was accounted for, body mass, horn length, and body size were not related to female rank. A new measure of aggressiveness, controlling for the number of opportunities for interactions, revealed that aggressiveness towards younger adult females increased with both age and social rank. On the other hand, age and social rank did not affect aggressiveness towards other females of the same age or older. Goats interacted more often with individuals of similar ranks than with individuals that were distant in the dominance hierarchy. Social rank of adult daughters was not related to the social rank of mothers. Although central positions in a group may decrease predation risk, dominant females did not occupy central positions more often than subordinates. Because age was the main determinant of rank, the only effective way to increase social rank was to survive.

TL;DR: In this article, Beausir et al. studied texture development in magnesium during equal channel angular extrusion (ECAE) with an angle of 90° between the intersecting channels, and the ideal orientations for ECAE of hexagonal metals were identified considering the shear to be at the 45° intersection plane of the two channels.

TL;DR: The findings suggest that exposure of placental cells to low doses of BPA may cause detrimental effects, leading in vivo to adverse pregnancy outcomes such as preeclampsia, intrauterine growth restriction, prematurity and pregnancy loss.
