Burning Behavior of Liquid Fuel and Burn Damage to Floorboards in Arson Cases with Liquid Fuel

International Journal of Fire Science and Engineering
In Japan, an arson crime against a building is considered to have been committed when a part of the building is burned irrespective of the arson medium. Since no evaluation method has been established for burn damage to building materials by liquid fuels, there is a lack of evidence for arson crimes to buildings with liquid fuels.

Impact of nuclear data uncertainty on safety calculations for spent nuclear fuel geological disposal

EPJ Web of Conferences, 2017
In the design of a spent nuclear fuel disposal system, one necessary condition is to show that the configuration remains subcritical at time of emplacement but also during long periods covering up to 1,000,000 years.

High Power Density, Low Temperature, Solid Oxide Fuel Cells at Elevated Oxygen Partial Pressure

Advanced Energy Materials, EarlyView.
Elevated pO2${{p}_{{{{\mathrm{O}}}_2}}}$ improves oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) kinetics, thus reducing electrode area specific resistance (ASR). The effect of pO2${{p}_{{{{\mathrm{O}}}_2}}}$ in open circuit potential (OCP) and ASR is demonstrated on both Sr0.5Sm0.5CoO3‐δ‐Gd0.1Ce0.9O2‐δ (SSC‐GDC) composite cathodes and our recently developed nano‐PSC

Simultaneous Electronic and Crystallographic Modulation of Cs3Bi2Br9 by Single‐Element Sn Substitution for Enhanced CO2 Photoreduction

Advanced Energy Materials, EarlyView.
Aliovalent B‐site substitution with Sn2+ in lead‐free perovskite, Cs3Bi2Br9, is employed to simultaneously induce lattice contraction and bromine vacancy through charge imbalance and ionic radius mismatch. The resulting structural distortion modulates the electronic structure and improves charge separation, leading to enhanced visible‐light‐driven CO2 ...

Farmers’ Protests in Germany: Media Coverage and Types of Bias

Agribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The German farmers’ protests of 2024 sparked widespread media coverage and public debate. Yet, media coverage was not always positive, reflecting the media's attention‐seeking and selective focus. Occurrences of farmers blocking media outlets reflected distrust in how their concerns were portrayed.

The Geography of Success: A Spatial Analysis of Export Intensity in the Italian Wine Industry

Agribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper investigates the paradox of how Italy's fragmented, SME‐dominated wine industry achieves global export success. Moving beyond purely firm‐centric explanations, we test whether export intensity is spatially dependent, clustering geographically in regional ecosystems.
