Abstract Kepler’s observation shows that many of the detected planets are super-Earths. They are inside a range of critical masses overlapping the core masses (2–20 M ⊕), which would trigger the runaway accretion and develop the gas giants. Thus, super-Earths/sub-Neptunes can be formed by restraining runaway growth of gaseous envelopes. We assess the effect of planetary rotation in delaying the mass growth. The centrifugal force, induced by spin, will offset a part of the gravitational force and deform the planet. Tracking the change in structure, we find that the temperature at the radiative–convective boundary (RCB) is approximate to the boundary temperature. Since rotation reduces the radiation energy densities in the convective and radiative layers, RCB will penetrate deeper. The cooling luminosity would decrease. Under this condition, the evolutionary timescale can exceed the disk lifetime (10 Myr), and a super-Earth/sub-Neptune could be formed after undergoing additional mass-loss processes. In the dusty atmosphere, even a lower angular velocity can also promote a super-Earth/sub-Neptune forming. Therefore, we conclude that rotation can slow down the planet’s cooling and then promote a super-Earth/sub-Neptune forming.

ABSTRACT The NASA’s Kepler mission discovered ∼700 planets in multiplanet systems containing three or more transiting bodies, many of which are super-Earths and mini-Neptunes in compact configurations. Using N-body simulations, we examine the in situ, final stage assembly of multiplanet systems via the collisional accretion of protoplanets. Our initial conditions are constructed using a subset of the Kepler five-planet systems as templates. Two different prescriptions for treating planetary collisions are adopted. The simulations address numerous questions: Do the results depend on the accretion prescription?; do the resulting systems resemble the Kepler systems, and do they reproduce the observed distribution of planetary multiplicities when synthetically observed?; do collisions lead to significant modification of protoplanet compositions, or to stripping of gaseous envelopes?; do the eccentricity distributions agree with those inferred for the Kepler planets? We find that the accretion prescription is unimportant in determining the outcomes. The final planetary systems look broadly similar to the Kepler templates adopted, but the observed distributions of planetary multiplicities or eccentricities are not reproduced, because scattering does not excite the systems sufficiently. In addition, we find that ∼1 per cent of our final systems contain a co-orbital planet pair in horseshoe or tadpole orbits. Post-processing the collision outcomes suggests that they would not significantly change the ice fractions of initially ice-rich protoplanets, but significant stripping of gaseous envelopes appears likely. Hence, it may be difficult to reconcile the observation that many low-mass Kepler planets have H/He envelopes with an in situ formation scenario that involves giant impacts after dispersal of the gas disc.

Carbonate-fluorapatite, the mineral of marine phosphorite, is found to form contemporaneously within the sediments by the replacement of skeletal carbonate in a core sample of foraminiferal ooze from the eastern tropical Pacific. A systematic downward increase in apatite within the core suggests that replacement is continuing at a decreasing rate in the sediments. The widespread distribution of foraminiferal ooze on the California borderland and its common association with phosphorite suggest that this material may play a role in the phosphorite accumulation there. The reaction of CaCO3 with soluble phosphate in conditions favoring the slow dissolution of the carbonate mineral may result within the sediments in an increase of the carbonate ion concentration, which appears to control the rate of replacement.

In the value chain it is important to keep in mind the core business of the company, since it depends largely on the competitiveness of the company and its overall performance, bearing in mind that all business indicators depend on it. In this work we will study the washing process within the company WASH CONTAINERS SA DE CV, to improve the washing processes and in this way reduce times and movements in the process leading the company to reduce costs considerably within the operations company daily, having a more competitive operation and with greater profit margin in its business process. Goals: It Improve the logistics of the movement of containers for washing and with it the core business of the company. Methodology: The action research will be applied applying Business Process Management for the improvement of processes in situ, it will be developed in a certain period of time and with that it will establish an improvement projection. Contribution: The improvement of the times for the disposal of the containers and their subsequent use, allows a better competitiveness and with it the income of the company, on the other hand, the transport companies improve in performance in quantity, quality of disposition and with it their income.

It is well known that both hard/soft magnetic exchange-coupling and ferroelectric-ferromagnetic coupling could facilitate the microwave absorption behavior. Herein, we propose the BaZrxFe12-xO19/Fe3O4/BaZrO3 composites to integrate the advantages of the...
