A modified Hartmann tube apparatus was used to study the explosivity properties of parcel protection dusts from torrefied biomass pellets.The sensitivity of the dusts to explode was assessed by determining the minimum ignition energies (MIE) and the minimum explosible concentrations (MEC).The severity of the explosion was evaluated by flame front v
Evolving Earth observation and change detection techniques enable the automatic identification of Land Use and Land Cover Change (LULCC) over a large extent from massive amounts of remote sensing data.It at the same time poses a major challenge in effective organization, representation and modeling of such information.This study proposes and implem
Jawed vertebrates possess two distinct groups of muscles in the trunk (epaxial and hypaxial muscles) primarily defined by the pattern of motor innervation from the spinal cord.Of these, the hypaxial group includes muscles with highly differentiated morphology and function, such as the muscles associated with paired limbs, shoulder girdles and tongu
Much confusion has surrounded the taxonomy of the Collared Scops Owl (Otus bakkamoena) complex, distributed widely across tropical and subtropical Asia.Often divided into three species, modern taxonomies disagree on its treatment, as a lack of deep mitochondrial DNA divergence is seemingly in contrast with patterns of vocal differentiation.Analysin
The present study explored potential factors that may mediate the relationship between narcissism and conspicuous consumption, as the underlying reasons for this connection remain uncertain.Specifically, we investigated the following variables as potential mediators of the links between narcissistic personality traits and conspicuous consumption: c
