What is the most relevant soil structure parameter to describe field-measured N2O emissions? by Emile Maillet, Agnès Grossel, Isabelle Cousin, Laurent Arbaret, Lionel Cottenot, Marine Lacoste

“…Nevertheless, the gas transfer parameters can be easily measured over a short period of time, whereas the soil structure indicators determined from 3D images require an acquisition and a processing phase that can be time consuming. A good compromise to evaluate the field N2O flux potential from an easy measure would be to evaluate the relative gas diffusivity, which directly controls the diffusion of oxygen in soil and thereby the microbial processes of N2O production.…”

Evaluation of the possibility of detecting cracks during the control of luminescence on turbine blades after application of complex heat-resistant coatings by Konstantin Balushok, Oleksandr Seliverstov, Oleksandr Prokopenko, Sergii Sakhno

“…Despite their high properties in terms of corrosion resistance and heat resistance, the service life of GTD blades and their protection against oxidation and corrosion damage is ensured by applying coatings using various technologies both to the flowing surface of the blade blades (heat-resistant and heat-protective) and to the inner surfaces of the cooled channels (diffusion coatings). Failure of turbine blades is one of the most severe types of damage to turbine blades, so at different stages of serial production, including after applying heat-resistant coatings, LUM1-OV inspection of blades is performed to detect cracks that can form during processing and lead to their failure during engine operation. …”
