How can children and young people have a voice in urban treescapes?

open access: yesPeople and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Scientific understanding of climate change has, to date, failed to result in sufficient action. This paper proposes that a deficit model of top‐down learning and dissemination in relation to public engagement with science may be part of the problem, particularly when considering the attitudes, values and empowerment of children and young ...

Plant biostimulants and their potential role in achieving the United Nations sustainable development goals

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Plant biostimulants are substances that are obtained from a variety of sources and are applied in minute quantities to enhance plant growth and vigor. In this review we detail how the use of plant biostimulants may contribute to efforts to achieving a number of the UN Sustainable Development Goals.

Reliability of solid rocket propellant grain under simultaneous action of multiple types of loads [PDF]

open access: yesScientific Technical Review, 2016
A case-bonded solid propellant rocket grain is subjected to many stress-inducing loads during the service life, due to temperature, extended polymerization, transportation, vibration, acceleration, aerodynamic heating etc.

Characterization of Structure, Properties, and Energetic Performance of a 1:1 Ammonium Dinitramide‐3,4‐Diaminofurazan Cocrystal

open access: yesPropellants, Explosives, Pyrotechnics, EarlyView.
Ammonium dinitramide (ADN) and 3,4‐Diaminofurazan (DAF) form a 1:1 energetic cocrystal. We report its crystal structure and spectroscopic signature and evaluate thermal stability, decomposition behavior, hygroscopicity, and combustion properties. Propellant performance calculations benchmark the material against guanylurea dinitramide (GuDN) and ...

Hydroxyl‐Terminated Polybutadiene‐Based Molding Powders as an Alternative Route for Manufacturing Pressed Polymer‐Bonded Explosives

open access: yesPropellants, Explosives, Pyrotechnics, EarlyView.
This study presents an alternative method to manufacture polymer‐bonded explosives by partially curing an HTPB‐based molding powder prior to compaction. The study shows that the length of partial cure time before compaction directly influenced the geometric fidelity, homogeneity, compressive strength, density, and internal microstructure.

Development of NMP‐001, A Nitromethane‐Based Green Propellant

open access: yesPropellants, Explosives, Pyrotechnics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper discusses the development of a model monopropellant that is aimed at exploring the applicability of nitromethane‐based propellants as an alternative to hydrazine. This approach addresses the challenges faced by HAN‐, ADN‐based propulsion by being more cost‐effective while providing similar performance figures.
