Method to Determine the Electrical Energy for Ignition of Electro-Explosive Devices
Journal of Aerospace Technology and Management, 2015 During field trials, it was observed that the delay of ignition of electro-explosive devices (EED) depends on ratings of power supplies or dynamo and also on the firing cable lengths.

With a Great Story Comes Great Responsibility: Role of Narrative in Leadership Development
New Directions for Student Leadership, Volume 2025, Issue 185, Page 81-87, Spring 2025.ABSTRACT Comic books reside uniquely within American culture. Historians have contended comics are more than just sequential artwork mixed with engaging stories, but rather, a framework by which the generations make sense of who they are. These stories are a reflection of cultural conscience; a lens through which we can view the world and a mirror ...

High Voltage, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This study explores the breakdown characteristics and discharge modes in a parallel plate air dielectric barrier discharge system using repetitive nanosecond pulses, with pulse repetition frequencies (PRFs) from 0.1 to 100 kHz. It examines how pulse parameters—PRF, pulse number and gas pressure—affect the memory effect, leveraging current and ...

Threshold Currents of Vacuum Arcs With Tungsten and Copper Cathodes
High Voltage, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This paper presents the results of an experimental study aimed at determining the threshold current for triggering a vacuum arc discharge, the probability of arc ignition and the average arc operation time depending on the current for tungsten and copper electrodes.

Australian Journal of Public Administration, EarlyView.Abstract Remarkably little is known about what factors drive success or failure in foreign policy. In part, this is because there is little fundamental agreement on what constitutes success or failure in this domain in the first place. This article engages with these shortcomings by comparing two similar regional order‐building initiatives overseen by ...

The Milbank Quarterly, EarlyView.Policy Points Ultraprocessed foods (UPFs) are engineered to heighten reward and accelerate delivery of reinforcing ingredients, driving compulsive consumption and disrupting appetite regulation. This is a growing challenge for health policy. UPFs share key engineering strategies adopted from the tobacco industry, such as dose optimization and hedonic ...

The Gender of Fossil Fuels: Oil and Domestic Perils in Mandate Palestine
Gender &History, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This article explores the gender dynamics behind the rise of kerosene – an oil derivative – as the main domestic fuel in Mandate Palestine. It argues that these dynamics were constitutive in determining who began to use oil, where and for what purposes, in turn demonstrating that women in Palestine were the promoters and targets of a campaign ...

WASTELAND ACTIVISM: Political Weeds and Ecological Imaginaries in Montreal
International Journal of Urban and Regional Research, EarlyView.Abstract Drawing on ethnographic fieldwork in Montreal, this article examines the ways in which urban dwellers and activists engage with the living materialities of wastelands to illuminate evolving ecological imaginaries and their political potentials.

Autoignition characteristics of no. 2 diesel fuel [PDF]
Parametric tests to map the ignition delay characteristics were conducted at pressures of 3, 4, and 5 atm, inlet air temperatures up to 1150 K and fuel air equivalence ratios ranging from 0.2 to 1.0. Ignition delay times in the range of 6 msec to 60 msec
