Resident damselfish influence the coral holobiont: species-specific responses in Acropora millepora and Acropora digitifera

Abstract Symbiotic interactions are central to coral ecology, spanning the coral holobiont’s internal microbial partnerships to broader associations with reef fishes and other motile species. Coral-dwelling damselfish live in close association with coral colonies, using their bra...

CFD analysis of split-strut spacing and fuel injection angles in a DLR model scramjet combustor

In hypersonic air-breathing propulsion systems, fuel injection and fuel-air mixing strategies play crucial role in ignition and positioning a sustainable flame in available very short residence time. This study numerically investigates the influence of geometric parameters and in...

Ultrafast laser–material interactions in commercial aluminium alloys: Ablation threshold, material removal mechanisms, and surface chemistry under femtosecond laser irradiation

As industries such as aerospace, automotive, and marine adopt new materials and designs, the need arises for advanced processing techniques which can shape this material while achieving required part properties. Aluminum alloys, widely used for their low weight, high strength, an...
