This is the activity report for the PAN-EARTH Project Case Study Venezuela from October 1988 to March 1990.

This article presents a new approach in designing an Al-based alloy through solid state precipitation route.

This article employs a recently introduced magnesium-samarium oxide (Mg–Sm₂O₃) nanocomposite, with different volume fractions of nanosize Sm₂O₃ particles as reinforcement, to study ambient temperature rate-dependent plastic response of the material.

This article presents a novel approach to microstructural engineering of refractory high-entropy alloys (RHEAs) to form an "inverted" BCC+B2 microstructure.

Article describes an experiment in which a combinatorial approach was used to investigate systematically the influence of composition and time on the oxidation of Ti–Cr system.

Article reporting a scenario where a translucent Er3+−Yb3+ doped oxyfluoride precursor glass-ceramic (P-GC) becomes transparent with increasing crystal size and crystallinity.

This article uses experiments and finite element analyses to study the structural responses and energy dissipation capacities of three different outriggers of an actual tall building project.

Authors discuss their use of a distributed and decentralized architecture to store the statistics, perform double hashing, and implement access control through smart contracts to forecast groundwater availability. Their work demonstrates a modern and innovative approach combining Distributed Data Storage and Blockchain technologies to overcome traditional data sharing, and centralized storage, while addressing blockchain limitations.

Authors of the article consider the storage–retrieval rate trade-off in private information retrieval (PIR) systems using a Shannon-theoretic approach. Their focus is mostly on the canonical two-message two-database case, for which a coding scheme based on random codebook generation and the binning technique is proposed.

This article studies the catalytic mechanism of oxidation of 5hmC to 5fC by WT and T1372E TET2 using an ab initio quantum mechanical/molecular mechanical (QM/MM) approach.

Article highlighting the potential of utilizing additive manufacturing of HEAs for use in extreme environments that require a combination of tribo-corrosion resistance, mechanical durability, extended service life, and net shaping with low dimensional tolerance.

Article examining the glass durability and residual rate of borosilicate glass. The authors focus on the behavior of the soluble elements of the International Simple Glass (B, Na, and Ca) to show that the residual rate is controlled by the behavior of B, a glass former supposed to dissolve instantaneously when in contact with water and thus widely considered as an ideal tracer. The article demonstrates that B release is controlled by multiple processes highly dependent on the pH. A new paradigm, including B as a key element of the system, is proposed to develop a comprehensive model for the corrosion of borosilicate glass.

This article proposes a strategy for preparing advanced soy protein (SP)-based films by solution casting of SP and hydroxyl and primary amine-containing hyperbranched polysiloxane (HPSA). It offers a simple methodology for the design of mechanically robust, recyclable, and biodegradable composite films, which have potential applications in the fabrication of high-performance, high-transparency, and anti-counterfeiting packaging materials.

Correction to the article points out an error in Figure 1e. The figure is corrected in this article.
