TL;DR: It is found that as the particle size decreases, minimum ignition temperature (MIT) and minimum ignition energy (MIE) decrease, indicating higher potential inflammation and explosion risks for the use of nanopowders.

TL;DR: It is found that circulating cells function as a surveillance system that monitors larval tissues for damage, and that adhesive capture, an important mechanism of recruitment of circulating cells to inflammatory sites in vertebrates, is shared by insects and vertebrates despite the vastly different architectures of their circulatory systems.

TL;DR: In vivo time-lapse analysis shows that the adult fruit fly cardiac tube is formed during metamorphosis by the reprogramming of differentiated and already functional larval cardiomyocytes, without cell proliferation, shedding light on the genetic control of one in vivo occurring remodelling process, which involves a steroid-dependent modification of Hox expression and function.

TL;DR: In this article, an experimental investigation was carried out on the influences of dust concentration, particle size distribution and humidity on aluminum dust explosion, and the results stressed the predominance of the specific surface area on the mass median particle diameter.

TL;DR: In this article, the explosion ability of wood dust was characterized by a 20 L explosion sphere (Kuhner) and the overpressure inside the sphere was recorded during the explosion.
