Clouds and hazes in Saturn's troposphere and stratosphere by Merlet, CTC

“…Near-infared VIMS data between 4.5 and 5.1 <em>μ</em>m are mainly sensitive to deeper tropospheric levels down to approximately 5 bar. At such pressure levels, thermochemical models predict the formation of condensed clouds made of ammonia and ammonium hydrosulphide ices, although none of these species has been spectrally detected so far. …”

Experimental investigation of glass fibre-reinforced polymer (GFRP) when subjected to low and high velocity impact events by Razali, Noorshazlin

“…The high velocity impact test is performed on three specimens for each thickness using an instrumented Single Stage Gas Gun (SSGG) and the pressure of the gas gun is set to range from 5 bar to 60 bar. Each of the tests is performed using three types of bullet which are blunt, hemispherical and conical. …”
