Stop Using Limiting Stimuli as a Measure of Sensitivities of Energetic Materials

open access: yesPropellants, Explosives, Pyrotechnics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Accurately estimating the sensitivity of explosive materials is a potentially life‐saving task that requires standardised protocols across nations. One of the most widely applied procedures worldwide is the so‐called ‘1‐In‐6’ test from the United Nations (UN) Manual of Tests in Criteria, which estimates a ‘limiting stimulus’ for a material. In

Engaging the Complexities of Energy Transitions: Sociotechnical and Dualistic Insights From Crossdisciplinary Undergraduates

open access: yesScience Education, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Discourses of energy and energy transition have become increasingly prevalent in informal and formal learning spaces. Energy transitions differ across regions, contexts, and technologies. The contextual nature of energy is an opportunity for a sociotechnical approach to its study.

Characterization of carbonaceous nanoparticle size distributions (1-10 nm) emitted from laboratory flames, diesel engines and gas appliances [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Commercially available SMPS and a differential mobility analyser (DMA) designed to enable detection of particles as small as 1 nm were used to provide further information about nanoparticles emitted from premixed flames, engines and common burners, with ...

Reframing FDI Motivations Through OLIP: Explaining Private Engagement for Sustainable Development in PPPs

open access: yesSustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The drivers of firms' participation in fragile markets have become increasingly complex. Under such conditions, the conventional explanation focusing on incentives within the OLI framework—ownership, location, and internalization advantages—proves insufficient.
