Testing the Dynamics of Flight for the Products of Explosion for a Warhead with a Weight of 250 kg by Andrzej M. FARYŃSKI, Andrzej DŁUGOŁĘCKI, Jarosław DĘBIŃSKI, Rafał KOŃKA, Tomasz KWAŚNIAK, Łukasz SŁONKIEWICZ, Zbigniew ZIÓŁKOWSKI

“…The FU trajectory was also taken from the video recording the velocities measured varied from approx. 2,650 m/s at a distance of 0.3 m to approx. 670 m/s at a distance of 6 m from the epicentre, which corresponds to the CzP data. The fragments flying next to the CzP, generally with the highest mass to effective transverse surface ratio, left traces of their conical FU on the CzP overpressure records, which allowed the determination of average velocities for some of them across the access path to the CzP, whereas these velocities ranged from approx. 1700 m/s at a distance of approx. 8 m and (1500 m/s to 1600 m/s) at a distance of 16 m to approx. 1300 to 1400 m/s at a distance of 26 m from the epicentre. …”

Andean Plants Essential Oils: A Scented Alternative to Synthetic Insecticides for the Control of Blowflies by Priscilla Farina, Francesca Venturi, Roberta Ascrizzi, Guido Flamini, Rodrigo Daniel Chiriboga Ortega, Maria Cristina Echeverría, Sania Ortega, Angela Zinnai, Stefano Bedini, Barbara Conti

“…In terms of ovicidal activity, there were no significant differences among the effects of the three tested EOs. On the adult flies, the toxicity of the two EOs of the Andean plants was much lower than that of <i>A. sativum</i> (LC₅₀ fumigation = 1.86 μL EO L⁻¹ air; LC₅₀ ingestion = 8.10 μL EO mL⁻¹ gel) both by fumigation (LC₅₀ = 23.66 and 25.30 μL EO L⁻¹ air for <i>A. citrodora</i> and <i>B. graveolens,</i> respectively) and ingestion (LC₅₀ = 36.65 and 44.97 μL EO mL⁻¹ gel for <i>A. citrodora</i> and <i>B. graveolens,</i> respectively), while, by contact, the <i>A. citrodora</i> EO (LD₅₀ = 0.27 μL EO insect⁻¹) was more toxic than the <i>A. sativum</i> EO (LD₅₀ = 0.46 μL EO insect⁻¹).…”
