Quantifying surface deterioration: Exemplified on fired clay bricks
For durability examinations of new materials, various resistance tests exist. The present work examines the resistance towards two accelerated salt crystallization methods (European Standard EN 12370 and RILEM test MS-A.2) on four types of fired clay bricks.

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