In this paper, the effect of nanocatalytic metal-organic framework based on copper metal and bis-tetrazolamine (CuBTA) ligand functionalized with cobalt (II) oxide nanoparticles on the thermal decomposition behavior of ammonium perchlorate (AP), using differential survey calorimetry (DSC) has been reviewed. First, the metal-organic framework (CuBTA) was synthesized from the raw materials of cop...

Soil microbial communities may be able to rapidly respond to changing environments in ways that change community structure and functioning, which could affect climate-carbon feedbacks. However, detecting microbial feedbacks to elevated CO(2) (eCO(2) ) or warming is hampered by concurrent changes in substrate availability and plant responses. Whether microbial communities can persistently feed ...

This paper at first reports an experimental work to test the thermal conductivity of formulated sandy soil specimens of different porosities and water contents. Both needle probe and hot-plate methods were conducted and compared. It has been confirmed that the needle probe method has a better accuracy for the measurement of unsaturated soil thermal conductivity, and that the pore size distribut...

abstract soil microbial activity and biochemical processes are often limited by carbon availability in arid- and semi-arid regions, probably due to the low organic matter content. consequently, return of plant residues to soil is a convenient and effortless practice for increasing microbial activities and biochemical reactions. the primary objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of v...

Thermal decomposition behavior of Poly(L-lactic acid) (PLLA) and PLLA composites after different heat treatment were investigated using thermogravimetric analysis. Firstly, the thermal decomposition results of neat PLLA showed that the decomposition of PLLA was a first-order kinetic reaction, and thermal decomposition kinetics indicated that the heat treatment significantly affected activation ...

Thermal adaptations of soil microorganisms could mitigate or facilitate global warming effects on soil organic matter (SOM) decomposition and soil CO2 efflux. We incubated soil from warmed and control subplots of a forest soil warming experiment to assess whether 9 years of soil warming affected the rates and the temperature sensitivity of the soil CO2 efflux, extracellular enzyme activities, m...
