Experimental investigations of coal dust-inertant mixture explosion behaviors [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
An experimental investigation was carried out on coal dust-inertant mixture explosions. Tests of explosion severity and flammability limit were conducted by using the Siwek 20 L vessel and influences of ignition energy, coal dust calorific value, coal ...

Application of a novel schema for describing fossil fern foliage and investigating taxonomic and morphological change across the Cretaceous–Paleogene boundary in western North America

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Botany, Volume 113, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Premise The Chicxulub asteroid impact at the Cretaceous–Paleogene (K–Pg) boundary triggered a mass extinction 66 million years ago. Ferns thrived in the aftermath of the extinction, evidenced by the well‐documented “fern spore spike.” However, fern macrofossil records across the K–Pg boundary are less understood.

Birch Rust Spore Exposure and Upper Airway Symptom Dynamics in a Subarctic Region: Indications for a Novel Seasonal Allergen

open access: yesClinical and Translational Allergy, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Airway allergies affect 20%–30% of the global population, with pollen and fungal spores representing major environmental triggers. Although fungal spores are far more abundant than pollen, their allergenic role—particularly from phytopathogenic rust fungi such as birch rust (BR)—remains poorly understood.

No Place to Hide? Regional Resilience and Vulnerability to Global Catastrophic Risk

open access: yesGlobal Challenges, Volume 10, Issue 8, August 2026.
No location on Earth withstands every global catastrophe. This review maps the geographic, institutional and infrastructural factors shaping resilience to nuclear, volcanic and impact winters, infrastructure loss and pandemics. Geographic isolation, food self‐sufficiency, strong governance and decentralization improve resilience across scenarios ...

Experimental study on characteristics of methane-coal dust explosions and the spatiotemporal evolution of flow field in early flame

open access: yesCase Studies in Thermal Engineering
To understand the explosion characteristics of methane-lignite coal dust mixtures and the spatiotemporal evolution of the early flame flow field, explosion pressure, OH* emission spectra, and early flame schlieren images were captured in a 60L constant ...

Experimental Study on the Influence of Initial Pressure on Explosion of Methane-coal Dust Mixtures [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Methane-coal dust explosion belongs to chemical explosion which always directly causes fire disasters. When it comes to coal mine, the gas explosion easily leads to extensive burning and forms large area stereo fire finally, due to the big blast power ...

Experiment-based Investigations on Explosion Behaviors of Coal Dust-inertant Mixtures

open access: yes工程科学与技术, 2012
:To gain an insight into the explosion behavior of coal dust-inertant mixtures, systematic experiments were carried out on explosion severity (the maximum explosion pressure, the maximum rate of pressure rise and the combustion duration), sensitivity ...
