Influence of TiN inclusions and segregation bands on the mechanical properties and ballistic performance during ballistic impact tests in low-alloy high-strength steel by Keke Tong, Haoran Sun, Luxing Duan, Xiurong Zuo

“…The segregation bands and TiN inclusions in steel plate originated from central segregation in continuous casting slabs. The Adiabatic shear bands (ASBs) with total length of 14,848 μm around crater B was more serious than that with total length of 6,239 μm around crater A, attributed to the low n value and strain hardening rate in completely penetrated crater region. …”

FTIR and Raman Spectroscopy Study of Soot Deposits Produced in the Infrared Multiphoton Dissociation of Vinyl Bromide by B. Samoudi, O. Bendaou, I. Hanafi, A. Asselman, K. Haboubi

“…Significant fullerene-type carbonaceous soot particles are also found, which could correspond to C60 and C70 or other carbonaceous agglomerates of a higher order; however, the disappearance of this fullerene on Raman spectra cast doubt on this explanation. Our samples’ Raman spectroscopy has been compared to Tamor and Vassell’s research, which may indicate that they have a lesser degree of hardness and density than these authors’ results, indicating a larger hydrogen content in our samples. …”

Images of War in Late Victorian War and Adventure Novels for Children by Dorothea Flothow

“…Although the most prominent of these strategies, the “war-games metaphor,” which trivialized war by comparing it to a football or a cricket match, has been examined by a number of studies, little attention has so far been paid to other conventions of the genre which also serve to familiarize war and suggest its basically harmless nature: the characterization of the novels’ prototypical English boy-hero; their formulaic plot and conventionalized cast; the way the novels remember Britain’s glorious military past to predict her equally victorious future; or the ways by which military defeats and difficulties are glossed over. …”
