Strategies for Assessing Post‐Wildfire Geomorphic Resilience in Semiarid Rivers
River Research and Applications, EarlyView.ABSTRACT We review and summarize diverse components of a catchment that can be monitored after wildfire to assess the geomorphic resilience of the river corridor in semiarid regions. We distinguish upland portions of river catchments from river corridors.

Hydrogen peroxide - from bridesmaid to bride
, 2006 The criticisms raised by John Clark concerning the use of hydrogen peroxide as a future rocket propellant are revisited. These criticisms focus on five important issues associated with detonation hazards, consequences of contamination, stability in ...

Measurement of Spray Chamber Ignition Delay and Cetane Numbers for Aviation Turbine Fuels
Experiments using pure compounds, National Jet Fuels Combustion Program (NJFCP) test fuels, and commercial jet fuels were conducted to demonstrate the equivalence of the indicated cetane number (ICN) and derived cetane number (DCN) for jet fuels.

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The dynamic nature of small islands being geographically isolated and their perceived connectedness with global networks complicates research attempts to draw general conclusions on whether insularity leads to marginalization or strengthens their resilience for sustainable development.

From Proxies to System State: Defining Sustainability Management Against Symbolic Progress
Sustainable Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Sustainability in management is often measured through scores, ratings, and disclosure narratives that can reward symbolic progress while leaving underlying social‐ecological conditions unchanged. This perspective paper offers a definition of Sustainability Management as how organizations plan, organize, lead, and control (four management ...

Ignition delay of bio-fuels in a common-rail compression ignition engine
, 2013 The utility of a novel technique for determining the ignition delay in a compression ignition engine has been shown. This method utilises statistical modelling in the Bayesian paradigm to accurately resolve the start of combustion from a band-pass in ...

Small, EarlyView.This review examines four factors that drive interfacial instability in sulfide‐based anode‐free all‐solid‐state batteries and thoroughly reviews corresponding performance‐enhancing strategies. The strategies are organized as follows: (1) interlayer engineering, (2) pressure‐regulating buffer layers, (3) other methods, including sacrificial cathodes ...

The Spontaneous-Ignition of Liquid Fuels.
, 1966 The spontaneous-ignition and ignition delays of liquid fuel droplets falling (i) on a heated surface and (ii) through heated air are investigated. The effects of fuel properties, droplet size, initial temperature, material of the surface and additives in the fuel on the ignition delays of liquid fuel droplets falling on a heated surface are studied. It
