Perfluorohexanone for Clean Fire Suppression: Mechanisms, System Design, Applications, and Future Directions

Safety Science and Technology, EarlyView.
Driven by halon and high GWP agent phase out, perfluorohexanone is increasingly deployed in enclosures such as data centers, marine machinery spaces, and industrial process lines. This review summarizes application performance, discharge and distribution design, material compatibility, and byproduct control and maps practical gaps for large volume and ...

Flexural behavior of precast prestressed slabs with embedded building service systems

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract Dry‐assembled precast concrete construction is rapidly spreading in many parts of the world due to the several advantages offered by industrialized construction. In order to speed up not only the assemblage of the structure, but also the full integrated building process, engineering systems (mechanical–electrical–plumbing) may be prefabricated

Nonthermal plasma approaches for combating implant‐associated infections: A compendious review

VIEW, EarlyView.
Implant‐associated infections pose serious clinical challenges. Non‐thermal plasma (NTP) modifications overcome this bottleneck in distinct ways relative to traditional sterilization methods. Gas‐phase plasmas generate highly energetic species, UV radiation and reactive oxygen/nitrogen species (RONS), which alter the implant surface properties.

Diffusion of Characteristic Gases in Oil‐Immersed Transformer by Computational Fluid Dynamics Simulation and Experimental Verification

High Voltage, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The complex diffusion of characteristic gases within oil‐immersed transformers significantly influences the timeliness between the fault occurrence and gas detection. So far, the gas transport processes and spatio‐temporal distributions remain inadequately understood.

The First World War at Sea: Death, Commemoration and Cultural Remembrance

History, EarlyView.
Abstract Despite the ever‐increasing body of work devoted to war memorials, national days of remembrance and the commemoration of the First World War in Britain, academic focus remains firmly on the commemoration of the First World War on land. Yet, while the number of people who died at sea paled in comparison to their counterparts on the battlefield ...

The Influence of Inclination Angle and Cooling Water Temperature on the Heat Transfer Performance of a Novel Closed Gravity Heat Pipe Exchanger

Zhileng xuebao, 2017
The heat transfer performance of a heat pipe using acetone as working fluid is experimentally studied and discussed in this paper. A novel heat pipe array was designed and expected to be utilized in integrated waste heat recovery equipment with higher ...

“Nowhere else to go”: Slow abandonment and (en)closures of long‐term care in Los Angeles

Medical Anthropology Quarterly, EarlyView.
Abstract Residential long‐term care facilities, known in California as “board and care” homes, have been closing rapidly in the last decade. Proponents assert these provide vital forms of housing and care to the poor and must be saved, while critics contend they perpetuate the institutionalization of people with disabilities and should be abolished ...

Evidence for regulation of transpiration in nonstomatal plants: insights from bryophyte gametophytes

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Kinetics of cell wall water vapor potential (Ψcw) and resistance of cell wall and plasmatic membrane to water flux in response to cytoplasmic water potential (Ψcyt) during dehydration. Ψcyt was calculated from the WC at any moment of the dehydration curve by using the relationship between −1/Ψw and WC of pressure volume curves and assuming Ψw = Ψcyt ...
