The effect of immersion time in a benzotriazole solution on anodic behaviour of AgCu50 alloy by Vesna Grekulović, Vujasinović Mirjana Rajčić, Zoran Stević

“…Electrochemical behavior of silver ,copper and AgCu50 alloy after their immersion in 0.01 mol/dm3 benzotriazole solution for 30, 360, 720 i 1440 minutes, was investigated in 0.1 mol/dm3 NaOH using the cyclic voltammetry method. Currents on cyclic voltammograms for both, pure silver, pure copper and AgCu50 alloy recorded after imemersion in the benzotriazole solution are lower than the corresponding currents obtained without the contact of the metals with BTA. …”

What to do when the earth shakes? DCH or door frames: evaluating generalised risk minimisation guidance by Sheena Ramkumar

“…Individuals and their families who tried to follow such guidance found that, as a result, they were faced with increased risks and the loss of more lives. Moreover, a Google Trends search revealed that in at least two major hazard events, people searched for outdated PAMs and advice, asking Google if this is what they should do.DiscussionRisk communication methods, PAMs and risk minimisation guidance require a closer critical examination and evaluation on a context-by-context basis, rather than the generalised messaging currently adopted. …”
