Samples of a Fe–34.5Mn–0.04C (wt. %) austenitic steel with average grain size ranging from 0.45 to 21.0 μm were produced by cold rolling and subsequent annealing. The effects of microstructure on room–temperature (RT) and cryogenic tensile properties and on the related fracture modes were...

To quantify the growth in GHG emissions related to international trade, we build an extensive database for export-related production and transportation GHG emissions covering 189 countries and 10 sectors from 1990 to 2014. We employ this database to quantify the contribution of production and...
