Distribution of Functional Traits Along Climatic Gradients in the Subtropical Atlantic Forest
We assessed the correlation between climatic factors and altitude with the spatial distribution of tree functional traits in the Subtropical Atlantic Forest. Deciduousness, symbiotic fixation of nitrogen (SNF), toothed leaf, spinescence and leaf area were more significantly associated with climatic drivers.

Combustion synthesis of ultra‐high temperature ceramics: Review
Abstract Novel and future‐oriented aerospace, energy, transportation, and other industrial technologies require materials capable of operating at temperatures above 2000°C. Ultra‐high temperature ceramic materials (UHTCs), based on carbides, borides, carbonitrides, and nitrides of transition metals—many with melting points exceeding 3000°C—possess the ...

Quantifying Energy Transfer From a Reacting Thermite to a Target Using Infrared Diagnostics
A study was conducted to examine the energy transfer from a reacted thermite placed on a steel target substrate. A high speed infrared camera captured a temporally evolving thermal distribution on the substrate, while the thermite, which was placed in a ...

Pyrotechnic heater setup as a calorimeter: Micro- vs. nano- Mg/Fe2O3 thermites
Combustion of thermite composition Mg/Fe2O3 with micron- and nano-sized components was studied in pyrotechnic heater setup. Pressed charges were burned out in hermetic steel tubes with simultaneous pressure and temperature registration.

Microwave Ignition of Thermites
AbstractThis study investigates the microwave ignition behavior of a range of thermites of aluminum, boron, titanium, and tantalum fuels with oxides of Bi2O3, CuO, and Fe2O3. In order to gain insight into the modes of energy transfer leading to ignition, thermites are heated in either a purely electric or magnetic field environment within a single‐mode
