The effects of sand stabilization and revegetation on cryptogam species...
AbstractCryptogamic crusts have long been regarded as important components of desert ecosystems. In order to reduce and combat the hazards of sandstorm and desertification, it is critical to conserve...
View ArticleThermal hazard evaluation of complex reactive substance using calorimeters...
AbstractIn this paper, several small-scale screening test methods were discussed on evaluating the thermal hazard of reactive substances. Generally the sensitivities of DSC and ARC are not high enough...
View ArticleThermal decomposition kinetic of reactive solids based on isothermal...
AbstractAn isothermal method was applied to measure the thermal decomposition of reactive solids in a sensitive heat flux reaction calorimeter, C80. This technique experimentally clarified the...
