Ignition and combustion characteristics of micro/nano-Al and Al@Ni alloy powders at elevated pressures

open access: yesCase Studies in Thermal Engineering
Nanosizing and alloying of aluminum (Al) promisingly improve ignition and combustion performance of Al-based propellants. To aim this, lased-induced ignition and combustion characteristics of micro/nano-Al and aluminum@nickel (Al@Ni) alloy powders at ...

Wild pig habitat use impacted by prescribed fire in the William B. Bankhead National Forest, USA

open access: yesThe Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.
Natural resource management activities like integrated wild pig control programs and 3–5‐year interval prescribed burning can reduce wild pig activity and habitat but can have an unintended side effect of allowing them to thrive in sensitive and protected areas, where access and tools are restricted.

A Shock‐Tube Study of the HCl + M →$\to $ H + Cl + M (M = Ar) Rate Constant Using HCl Laser Absorption Near 3.3 µm

open access: yesInternational Journal of Chemical Kinetics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Hydrogen chlorine (HCl) is an important combustion intermediate during plastic (municipal waste) and composite propellant (aerospace) combustion, but the understanding of its high‐temperature chemistry is still evolving. In this study, the pyrolysis of 0.5% HCl in Ar was investigated behind reflected shock waves in a shock tube at temperatures

Does Palsa Thaw in Northern Finland Contribute to Remobilisation of Metals Accumulated in Peat Into Surface Waters?

open access: yesLand Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Permafrost is rapidly degrading in the sporadic zone, including palsa mires in Scandinavia. Peatlands in the area have likely accumulated heavy metals from atmospheric deposition of industrial contaminants in the wider region. As the palsa mire chemical composition is not well known, and in other permafrost regions the permafrost thaw may ...

Polyglycerol‐Based Lipids: A Next‐Generation Alternative to PEG in Lipid Nanoparticles for Advanced Drug Delivery Systems

open access: yesMacromolecular Rapid Communications, EarlyView.
Linear polyglycerol is proposed as a PEG‐alternative in mRNA‐loaded lipid nanoparticles to limit activation of anti‐PEG antibodies and reduce immunogenicity. Resulting nanoparticles may provide similar gene delivery capabilities, while preventing binding of anti‐PEG antibodies compared to PEGylated counterparts.

The autoignition of cyclopentane and cyclohexane in a shock tube

open access: yes, 2007
Ignition delay times of cyclohexane-oxygen-argon and cyclopentane-oxygen-argon mixtures have been measured in a shock tube, the onset of ignition being detected by OH radical emission.

Nano Delivery Strategy Opens Effective Avenues for the Treatment of Colorectal Cancer

open access: yesMedicine Bulletin, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Colorectal cancer (CRC) presents significant therapeutic challenges because of chemoresistance, systemic toxicity, and the complexity of the tumor microenvironment (TME). Nanodrug delivery systems (NDDS) have emerged as versatile platforms capable of overcoming these limitations by enhancing tumor accumulation, improving pharmacokinetics, and ...

A Question of Trust: Dynamics of the Perceived Uncertainty–Trust Dilemma With Artificial Intelligence in Strategy Process Initiation

open access: yesManagerial and Decision Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Strategists who must identify issues in uncertain environments while being cognitively constrained can increasingly rely on artificial intelligence to manage uncertainty. The potential for AI to be incorporated into strategy processes has led to a debate about the evolving collaborative relationship between strategists and AI.
