Jet Fires: a “Minor” Fire Hazard?

open access: yesChemical Engineering Transactions, 2012
Jet fires have received only a rather reduced attention as compared to other types of fires; this is probably due to the fact that they are usually much smaller that fireballs, pool fires or tank fires. However, jet fires often occur in areas where there

Bright fireballs associated with the potentially hazardous asteroid 2007LQ19 [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
We analyse here two very bright fireballs produced by the ablation in the atmosphere of two large meteoroids in 2009 and 2010. These slow-moving and deep-penetrating events were observed over Spain in the framework of our Spanish Fireball Network ...

The Continuity and Rupture of the ‘New Washington Consensus’: From Biden to Trump 2.0

open access: yesGlobal Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The ‘New Washington Consensus’ (NWC) represents a major intellectual shift in the US approach to global economic governance. However, the NWC has never been subject to systematic academic critique. With Trump's return to the White House ushering in a new era of US trade policy, the NWC is widely considered to be politically irrelevant in the ...

Fireballs’ Whispers of Their Central Engine: Relativistic Filtering of Afterglow Quasiperiodic Oscillations

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Letters
Quasiperiodic oscillations in gamma-ray burst afterglows have been suggested as probes of the central engine. Such interpretations generally assume that the observed modulation frequency directly corresponds to an intrinsic oscillation frequency of the ...

Disruption of satellite-to-ground station communication links by nuclear fireballs [PDF]

open access: yes, 1977
Diffraction around nuclear fireballs near the line of sight for satellite-to-ground communication links is calculated numerically. The geometry allows assumption of geometric optics and plane-wave signals. The fireball is modeled as an opaque disk normal

Rise of the south: How Arab‐led maritime trade transformed China, 671–1371 CE

open access: yesAsia‐Pacific Economic History Review, Volume 65, Issue 1, Page 3-38, March 2025.
Abstract China's center of socioeconomic activities was in the North prior to the Tang dynasty but is in the South today. We demonstrate that Arab and Persian Muslim traders triggered that transition when they came to China in the late seventh century, by lifting maritime trade along the South Coast and re‐creating the South.

The Royal Commission on the Constitution, 1927–1929

open access: yesAustralian Journal of Politics &History, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Royal Commission on the Constitution (1927–1929) is a little‐remembered event in Australian political, policy and legal history, which produced—in the words of the constitutional law scholar Geoffrey Sawer—‘a useful student's textbook and a minor alteration in the Judiciary Act’.

Monitoring Mitochondrial Function With High‐Resolution Respirometry During Ex‐Situ Heart Perfusion

open access: yesArtificial Organs, EarlyView.
Normothermic ESHP preserves mitochondrial respiratory function over 6 h in a porcine model (n = 6): OXPHOS capacities across NADH‐, fatty‐acid‐, and succinate‐linked pathways remain stable, with reduced cytochrome‐c control efficiency indicating improved outer‐membrane integrity. HRR provides a rapid, actionable readout for organ assessment.
