Published: December 2019

This study was conducted to determine the host stage preference of the parasitoid, Aenasius arizonensis Girault (Hymenoptera: Encyrtidae), on Phenacoccus solenopsis Tinsley (Hemiptera: Pseudococcidae). No-choice and choice experiments were carried out. There was approximately 30% parasitism of the third nymphal stage and more than 70% parasitism of female adults. This parasitoid does not parasite the first and second nymphal stage of P. solenopsis because these stages are smaller and more mobile than the third nymphal stage and adult females.

The vegetation map of Inner Mongolia, 1 : 1 500 000, China
Authors: Shipeng Yong
Published: December 2019

Vegetation of the region can be divided according to five basic principles: 1) genesis (natural or artificial vegetation); 2) belonging to a global vegetation ecoregion (Eurasia coniferous ecoregion, Eastern Asia summer green broad-leaf ecoregion, etc.); 3) belonging to a climatic zone (Cool temperate light coniferous forest zone, Mezo-temperate summer green forest zone, etc.); 4) belonging to a geomorphic landscape (mountainous vegetation, plateau vegetation, etc.); 5) division into formations or subformations with the help of edificators, dominants and ecological groups. In Inner Mongolia 99 formations have been distinguished. Using the above approaches the vegetation map legend has been constructed.

The map has been completed on the base of remote sensing data and the field studies. Its legend has been worked out following the principles of landscape ecology and fully exploiting the satellite images informations. The map quite clearly reflects the dynamic aspects of vegetation, it is supplemented by special legends to show the degree of vegetation destruction under human activities.

In the very conclusion the different aspects of application of the map are given as the basis for resource inventoring, phytomass assessment, the compiling of rangeland map, estimating of carrying capacity, etc. The map provides a sound foundation for planning of sustainable use and protection of vegetation cover in Inner Mongolia.
Problems of cartographic study of vegetation structure in Siberia
Authors: Вelоv A. V.
Published: December 2019

The works by V. B. Sochava have laid the foundation of the system geographical-historical approach to vegetation study, determined the features of vegetation cartography in Siberia. The profound intensification of cartographic works in Siberia began in seventies. At that period, ahead of the others, V. B. Sochava raised the problem of ecologyzation of geographic investigations and among them vegetation cartography. Thus he stimulated the development of ecological-geobotanical (phytoecological) mapping. In the eighties the estimation-prognosis mapping started to develope that enhanced the demands to the universal geobotanical map. At the present time in Siberia the cartographical-geobotanical investigations are conducting in the frame of numerous regional and local ecological problems and first of all those related to the concept of stable development of the Baikal region adopted at the UNO conference in 1992. The vegetation map published in Baikal Atlas is an example of such new survey-inquiry mapping, the same are the vegetation map and the estimation map of vegetation disturbances of the Irkutsk District. In the above map, in contrast to previous ones, more attention have been paid to the destructive dynamic processes, therefore the typification of the secondary communities has been carried out not through the restoration series but through the stages of anthropogenic transformation series. Natural and derivative units (numbers) are united into unified dynamic series (epitaxons). Two dynamic processes – destruction and demutation – can be traced on the vegetation map of Irkutsk District. At the base of the universal geobotanical map the block of phytoecological maps has been created. At present days the interest to the middle-scale and the large-scale mapping in Siberia is increasing sharply. Perspectives of its development are connected with forming the regional and local GIS and with developing the operative computer-mapping.

Published: December 2019

Dalam benak pemikiran orang-orang non-Muslim yang hidup di Eropa dan Amerika Utara, Kata Syari’ah hampir selalu dikaitkan dengan image yang menakutkan dan mengerikan, misalnya hukum rajam, potong tangan atau deraan. Akan tetapi semestinya sekarang-sekarang sudah jelas bahwa hal tersebut hanya merupakan salah tafsir saja. Karena syaria’ah sebenarnya mencakup semua sistem yang mengatur segala tatanan kehidupan ini, mulai dari tingkah laku kehidupan manusia atau cara-cara menjalankan ritual peribadatan sampai hubungan internasional. Namun demikian, karena model hukum dalam Islam nampaknya terlalu keras menurut anggapan orang-orang barat, maka hal tersebut sangat tepat bila dibicarakan lebih lanjut disini

Zero Anxiety Disorder
Intelligence, consistency, and Emerson's dilemma
Authors: Sorjonen Kimmo , Hemmingsson Tomas , Melin Bo
Published: December 2019

In a large representative sample of Swedish male conscripts (N = 49,246), we demonstrate a positive association between intelligence and response consistency on items measuring endorsement of a strong military defense. This association is accentuated, to some degree, by an apparent difficulty to handle reversed items among those with low intelligence. Consequently, due to regression toward the mean, reversed items in measurement instruments would tend to have a negative effect on statistical power when analyzing the association between whatever the instrument is measuring and intelligence. On the other hand, the presence of reversed items could mitigate bias in the measurement due to an acquiescent response style among those with low intelligence. Lack of motivation/carelessness and inadequate reading ability among some subjects are two possible confounders for the found association in the present study.
There is an 'Eye' in Team: Exploring the Interplay Between Emotion, Gaze Behavior and Collective Efficacy in Team Sport Settings
Authors: Shearer David , Leeworthy Shona , Rickards Emma , Blake Mason , Heirene Robert , Gross Mike , Bruton Adam Mark
Published: December 2019

Little is understood about the attentional mechanisms that lead to perceptions of collective efficacy. This paper presents two studies that address this lack of understanding. Study 1 examined participants (N = 59) attentional processes relating to positive, neutral or negative emotional facial photographs, when instructed to select their ‘most confident’ or ‘least confident’ team. Eye gaze metrics of first fixation duration (FFD), fixation duration (FD) and fixation count (FC) were measured alongside individual perceptions of collective efficacy and emotional valence of the teams selected. Participants had shorter FFD, longer FD, and more FC on positive faces when instructed to select their most confident team (p < .05). Collective efficacy and emotional valence were significantly greater when participants selected their most confident team (p < .05). Study 2 explored the influence of video content familiarity of team-based observation interventions on attentional processes and collective efficacy in interdependent team-sport athletes (N = 34). When participants were exposed to familiar (own team/sport) and unfamiliar (unknown team/sport) team-based performance video, eye tracking data revealed similar gaze behaviours for the two conditions in terms of areas of interest. However, collective efficacy increased most for the familiar condition. Study 1 results indicate that the emotional expressions of team members influence both where and for how long we look at potential team members, and that conspecifics’ emotional expression impacts on our perceptions of collective efficacy. For Study 2, given the apparent greater increase in collective efficacy for the familiar condition, the similar attentional processes evident for familiar and unfamiliar team footage suggests that differences in meaning of the observed content dictates collective efficacy perceptions. Across both studies, the findings indicate the importance of positive emotional vicarious experiences when using team-based observation interventions to improve collective efficacy in teams.
Tracking momentary experience in the evaluation of arts on prescription services: Using mood changes during art workshops to predict global wellbeing change
Authors: Holt Nicola Jane
Published: December 2019

Aims: To measure the immediate impact of participating in arts on prescription workshops on multiple dimensions of mood and to evaluate whether improvement in mood is a mechanism for change, predicting improvements in global wellbeing before and after participation in arts on prescription programmes.Methods: The evaluation drew upon the experience sampling method, asking participants to complete a six-item mood questionnaire at the beginning and end of each workshop in a twelve-week-long arts on prescription programme. Participants also completed a measure of global wellbeing at the beginning and end of the programme. Results: Multi-level modelling was used to test hypotheses since the data was hierarchical (with 1491 mood reports nested within 66 participants). There was a significant increase in global wellbeing across participation in the arts on prescription programme. After each art workshop there was a significant increase on all dimensions of mood: hedonic tone (contentment); tense arousal (calmness); and energetic arousal (alertness). There was also a significant increase in these dimensions of mood, over time, upon arrival at the art workshops each week. Further, reduction in anxiety after art workshops significantly predicted changes in global wellbeing.Conclusions: The findings suggest that anxiety reduction is a crucial component of arts on prescription services and make a direct link between experiences during art workshops and changes in global wellbeing for the first time. This strengthens the evidence base for arts on prescription and suggests that tracking experience across interventions is a useful evaluation tool, with much potential.

Published: December 2019

The leaves of Carpobrotus edulis are used in folk medicine to treat several ailments. This study therefore seeks to do a phytochemical screening of the aqueous leaf extract of Carpobrotus edulis which grows in Zimbabwe as well as determine the effect of these aqueous extracts on hematological parameters of Sprague Dawley rats. Aqueous extraction of Carpobrotus edulis leaves was performed by using routine methods and standard phytochemical screening methods. Thirty-two (32) Sprague Dawley rats of both sexes equally represented, were grouped into three treatment groups (A-C) and one negative control group D of eight animals each. Group A received 100mg/kg of the extract; Group B received 300mg/kg while Group C received 1000mg/kg of the extract for 28 days. After 28 days of daily oral gavage of the extract, hematological parameters were measured. Phytochemical screening revealed the presence of flavonoids, anthraquinones, alkaloids, terpenoids, saponins, tannins and glycosides. Aqueous leaf extracts of Carpobrotus edulis did not have any significant effects (P>0.05) on the hematological parameters on any of the treatment groups of Sprague Dawley rats after oral exposure for 28 days. Carpobrotus edulis have no deleterious effects on the hematological parameters however further studies are recommended to completely evaluate the safety profile of the plant.

Published: December 2019

Plumbago zeylanica, Linn. is an important plant with numerous medicinal values. This study was aimed to evaluate the biochemical and toxicological effects of the administration of the ethylacetate fraction of the methanolic extract of Plumbago zeylnica root (EAME). In sub-chronic study, extract doses of 100, 200 and 400 mg/kg body weight were administered orally in rats for 28 days. Biochemical and histological evaluations were carried out on the rats. At the highest dose of EAME, organ-body weight ratio increased by 170% in the liver, spleen by 85%, but reduced in kidney by 62%, lung 17% and heart 7%. In the plasma, administration of EAME at the highest dose increased the concentrations of protein by 11%, albumin 32%, glucose 153%, direct bilirubin 151%, total bilirubin 656%, creatinine 35% and uric acid 29%. Activities of aspartate aminotransferase, alanine aminotransferase, alkaline phosphatase and gammaglutamyltansferase were also increased by 6%, 39%, 76% and 46% respectively. The concentrations of total cholesterol, triglycerides, HDL-cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol and VLDL-cholesterol were not significantly different (p>0.05) compared with the control. EAME induced histopathological alterations in the cellular architecture of the liver and lungs. Mild congestion in sinusoids and bile duct proliferation were observed in the liver, while the lung showed necrosis, oedema and haemorrhage. The alterations were more prominent in the lung of rats treated with 200 and 400 mg/kg b.wt. doses. No histopathological alteration was observed in the kidney. These findings indicate that EAME of P. zeylanica root contains bioactive compounds which are toxic to the organism but the action was organ specific.
Study of aqueous leaf extracts of Spondias mombin Linn. (Anacardiaceae) in gastric ulcer models and the possible mechanisms of action
Authors: Oluwatoyin Agbaje Esther , Deborah Ogunsanya Wuraola
Published: December 2019

Spondias mombin L. (Anacardiaceae) commonly known as ̒yellow mombin̕ is a multipurpose herb cultivated in parts of the Brazilian Northeast for its edible fruits, oil and leaves. The bark is used to carve figures and the leaves and roots used as medicine. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of aqueous leaf extract of Spondias mombin Linn. on gastric ulcers. The effect was evaluated in ibuprofen, alcohol and pylorus ligation-induced gastric ulcer models. The extract was administered orally at three different doses of 50, 100 and 200 mg/kg. The antiulcer activity was accessed in rats by comparing the ulcer index in the test group with that of the control (distilled water) and standard (omeprazole, misoprostol) groups. The involvements of endogenous nitric oxide, prostaglandins and non-protein sulfhydryl groups in the cytoprotective action of Spondias mombin L. were also investigated. The extract showed a significant (p<0.05, p<0.01, p< 0.001) antisecretory and gastric cytoprotective effects in pylorus ligation, alcohol and ibuprofen-induced ulcer model respectively. Antioxidant analysis showed significant scavenging of free radical using nitric oxide, reducing power activity and DPPH assay. Spondias mombin L. showed presence of flavonoids, tannins, reducing sugar, cardiac glycosides and terpenes. The experiment suggests a possible participation of NO synthase and NP-SH pathways in the gastroprotective effect of Spondias mombin.

Published: December 2019

Stabilnost traktora osim uzdužnog i poprečnog kuta stabilnosti podrazumijeva i sigurnost sidrenja traktora pri privitlavanju drva. Privitlavanje predstavlja vuču drvnih sortimenta po tlu od mjesta izrade u sječini do šumskog vozila za privlačenje drva opremljenog sa šumskim vitlom. Kod određenog graničnog tovara i nagiba terena dolazi do narušavanja uzdužne stabilnosti šumskog vozila s vitlom. Pri tome je faktor prijanjanja skidera i traktora sa podlogom važan pokazatelj mogućnosti sigurnog i pravilnog privitlavanja drva.
Na osnovi općeg izraza za faktor prijanjaja skidera na ravnom terenu određen je faktor prijanjanja pri privitlavanju drva na nagibu te prikazan dinamički model opterećenja šumskog vozila pri privitlavanju drva.
U rezultatima su prikazane granične horizontalne komponente sile u užetu i granične mase tovara u slučaju privitlavanja drva skiderom Ecotrac 120 V. Prema dobivenim vrijednostima graničnih horizontalnih komponenti sila u užetu može se zaključiti da je upravo stabilnost vozila definirana pomakom vozila u nazad granični uvjet privitlavanja drva.
Prikazani model privitlavanja drva na nagibu prikazuje temeljni princip za određivanje graničnih tovara i nagiba terena, a koji se može lako prilagoditi ostalim uvjetima privitlavanja drva pri različitim položajima vozila i pravcima privitlavanja drva s obzirom na stvarne eksploatacijske uvjete.

Published: December 2019

Potkornjaci su jedna od najvažnijih skupina šumskih štetnika, a u posljednjih nekoliko godina zabilježene su štete od istih u dvije biogeografske regije Hrvatske. Smrekov pisar (Ips typographus) na području alpinske i mediteranski potkornjak (Orthotomicus erosus) na području mediteranske regije ukazali su na njihovu važnost. Brezov potkornjak bjelikar (Scolytus ratzeburgi) je jedina vrsta iz roda Scolytus kojoj su domaćini vrste iz roda Betula spp. te kao takva može predstavljati potencijalnu opasnost u Hrvatskoj. Prisutnost ove vrste je vidljiva po rupicama na kori, ispod kojih se nalazi materinski hodnik (Slika 2), a mužjak i ženka se razlikuju po količini dlaka na prednjem dijelu glave te po izbočini na zadku (Slika 1). Kako bi utvrdili prisutnost brezovog potkornjaka bjelikara na području Hrvatske, u ovom radu je napravljen pregled povijesnih zapisa (entomološke zbirke i literatura) i sastojina obične breze (B. pendula). Na terenu su sakupljeni uzorci (trupčići) na kojima je uočena prisutnost brezovog potkornjaka bjelikara te je napravljena laboratorijska analiza. Pregledom literature utvrđen je posljednji zabilježeni pronalazak brezovog potkornjaka bjelikara od prije više od 100 godina (1913. godina), a primjerci u entomološkim zbirkama potječu iz susjednih zemalja. Terenski pregled sastojina obične breze utvrdio je pet novih lokacija na kojima je vidljiva prisutnost brezovog potkornjaka bjelikara (Slika 3; Tablica 1). Gustoća populacije ove vrste u šumskim i urbanim područjima Hrvatske je niska, ali bez obzira na tu činjenicu brezov potkornjak bjelikar predstavlja važan dio entomofaune Hrvatske. Nastavak istraživanja trebao bi razjasniti povezanost brezovog potkornjaka bjelikara s patogenim gljivičnim bolestima i foretičkim grinjama s obzirom na moguće promjene na južnom rubu područja rasprostranjenja obične breze.

Za razumijevanje genetske strukture populacija šumskog drveća potrebno je poznavati genetsku varijabilnost. Razvoj izoenzimske tehnike olakšao je određivanje genetske strukture populacija u području rasprostranjenja vrsta. Određivanjem genetske strukture i varijabilnosti Picea orientalis (L.) Link, koja je u svijetu ograničena na manje područje, transfer trenutne genetske strukture na buduće generacije putem održivog gospodarenja šumama važan je za osiguravanje kontinuiteta vrste. U ovom istraživanju određene su genetske različitosti i sličnosti za populacije P. orientalis u odabranim populacijama (Artvin, Torul-Örümcek, Tirebolu-Akılbaba, Ordu-Çambaşı, Artvin-Şavşat, Ardanuç-Ovacık, Şavşat-Sahara, Artvin-Saçinka, Ardahan-Posof an Maçka-Hamsiköy) Turske. Korišteno je 10 genskih lokusa u različitim enzimskim sustavima, a određena je genetska varijabilnost, vrijednost heterozigotnost (Ho), broj alela po lokusu (AL), genetski diverzitet (v), intrapopulacijska diferencijacija (dT), multilokusna raznolikost (Vgam) te diferencijacija među populacijama (Dj). Za promatranu heterozigotnost, broj alela po lokusu i genetski diverzitet dobivena je središnja vrijednost od 0.154, 1.74 i 1.719. Nadalje, kod razmatranja genetskog diverziteta, pojavile su se tri različite skupine u smislu odabranih populacija. S obzirom da je populacija Torul-Örümcek pokazala relativno više vrijednosti u odnosu na ostale populacije, ova populacija je vrlo važna za održivost genetskih izvora kavkaske smreke .
Izbor kvalitetne šumske sadnice poljskog jasena (Fraxinus angustifolia Vahl) za umjetnu obnovu i pošumljavanje
Authors: Drvodelić Damir , Oršanić Milan
Published: December 2019

U ovom stručnom članku detaljno su opisani svi čimbenici koji utječu na uzgoj kvalitetne šumske sadnice poljskog jasena za umjetnu obnovu i pošumljavanje. Do sada se pozornost nije poklanjala kvaliteti sadnica s obzirom na nove i potpuno promijenjene nepovoljne ekološke i biološke čimbenike koji se događaju sa sastojinama poljskog jasena u Hrvatskoj. Kvaliteta sadnica poljskog jasena određivala se isključivo jednim morfološkim čimbenikom, a to je najčešće visina izbojka što nije dobro. U radu su definirani pojmovi morfološke i fiziološke kvalitete sadnica. Opisane su metodologije za mjerenje morfoloških i fizioloških svojstava šumskih sadnica i njihov značaj na preživljenje, rast i prirast nakon sadnje na terenu. Morfološka svojstva su: visina izbojka, promjer stabljike, odnos visine izbojka i promjera stabljike, duljina pupa, volumen korijena i stabljike, težina sadnica, odnos volumena izbojka i korijena te boja, forma i oštećenja. Fiziološka svojstva su: otpornost na hladnoću, potencijal rasta korijena (PRK), dormantnost pupa i koncentracija hranjiva u lišću. Opisana su tri stresna čimbenika koja utječu na smanjenje kvalitete šumskih sadnica, preživljenje, rast i prirast na terenu, a to su: stres zbog vlage u biljci (PMS), stres zbog temperature i fizički stres (padanje, gnječenje, vibracije, površinsko oštećivanje i trganje korijena). Definirani su i svi ostali stresni čimbenici koji utječu na pad kvalitete šumske sadnice koji se događa u razdoblju od vađenja u rasadniku do sadnje na terenu. Razjašnjena je uloga pojedinog stresnog čimbenika na sadnice, kao i kumulativan utjecaj više stresnih čimbenika. U članku se govori o ispravnom rukovanju sadnicama od vađenja u rasadniku do pošumljavanja. Prikazane su novije patentirane mogućnosti zaštite sadnica od trenutka vađenja iz rasadnika ili kamiona-hladnjače do sadnje na terenu.

Lessons learned in setting up an open access journal: the case of JEHC
Authors: Hogenstijn Maarten , Wolfensberger Marca , Pilot Albert
Published: December 2019

This paper details the lessons learned in the process of setting up a new open access (OA) journal from scratch. The Journal of the European Honors Council (JEHC) was started in 2016, published its first issue in 2017, and is currently publishing its fifth issue. The development of JEHC is described in four phases: lead-up to the first idea (2015-2016), from first idea to first issue (2016-2017), professionalization (2017-2018), and increasing impact (2018-). Ten lessons learnt are detailed: (1) do a realistic needs assessment; (2) involve committed people with skills, passion, and time; (3) provide a low-barrier publication option; (4) identify and pick ‘low-hanging fruit’; (5) get your basics organized; (6) invest time in technical knowledge; (7) professionalize in phases; (8) be transparent, open, and personal; (9) try to avoid monetary transactions as much as possible; and (10) printing can help. The main piece of advice to others wishing to start an OA journal is: inform yourself well before you start, but do not be afraid to learn along the way.
The Young Medium: Regulating Television in the Name of Canadian Childhood
Authors: Rollwagen Katharine
Published: December 2019

In the 1950s, many Canadians purchased television sets and contemplated the broader meaning of this new technology for their country, their families, and particularly their children. This article examines the opinions presented to the Royal Commission on Broadcasting in 1956 and demonstrates that many adults called for continued and/or strengthened state regulation of broadcasting in order to protect and shape an imagined vulnerable and malleable child viewer. Dozens of civic and social organizations, educational institutions, labour groups, and private individuals argued that the medium’s reorganization of space in the home, its potential as a tool to shape young lives, and its commercially sponsored programs and advertisements justified continued or heightened government control of television broadcasting. The context of the Cold War and postwar welfare state priorities shaped adults’ statements and beliefs about children’s television consumption.
« Ma chicane avec l’impôt » : une critique traditionaliste de l’État-providence canadien, 1945–57
Authors: Carlos Jean-Philippe
Published: December 2019

Cet article analyse les stratégies de résistance mises en place par les intellectuels traditionalistes canadiens-français à l’endroit du projet d’édification de l’État-providence canadien, de la fin des années 1940 à la fin des années 1950. Pour ce faire, nous avons analysé les stratégies politiques, juridiques et médiatiques mises de l’avant par François-Albert Angers (1909–2003) dans sa lutte contre le gouvernement fédéral canadien. Économiste de formation, universitaire et animateur influent des réseaux nationalistes du Québec, Angers a notamment mené une lutte judiciaire contre le ministère du Revenu national durant près d’une décennie (1947–57). À travers cette saga reposant sur la constitutionnalité des allocations familiales, nous analysons également certains thèmes centraux du discours traditionaliste, en lien avec les questions du fédéralisme, du respect des droits civils et de la conception catholique de la vie en société. Cet étude vise ainsi à lever le voile sur la manière dont les penseurs conservateurs du Québec ont réagi à l’avènement d’un État canadien moderne et interventionniste au lendemain de la Seconde Guerre mondiale.

Authors: Norfleet D.M. , Beavers J.A.
Published: December 2019

This chapter addresses the issue of stress-corrosion cracking (SCC) in carbon and low-alloy steels. It discusses crack initiation, propagation, and fracture in aqueous chloride, hydrogen sulfide, sulfuric acid, hydroxide, ammonia, nitrate, ethanol, methanol, and hydrogen gas environments. It explains how composition and microstructure influence SCC, as do mechanical properties such as strength and fracture toughness and processes such as welding and cold work. It also discusses the role of materials selection and best practices for welding.
Stress-Corrosion Cracking of High-Strength Steels (Yield Strengths Greater Than 1240 MPa)
Authors: Jones R.H.
Published: December 2019

High-strength steels are susceptible to stress-corrosion cracking (SCC) even in moist air. This chapter identifies such steels and the applications where they are typically found. It provides information on crack growth kinetics and crack propagation models in which hydrogen embrittlement is the predominant mechanism. It explains how different application variables affect SCC, including loading mode, state of stress, type of steel, temperature, electrochemical potential, heat treatment, and deformation processes. It also compares SCC characteristics in different high-strength steels and discusses the influence of composition, steelmaking practice, and application environment.
Stress-Corrosion Cracking of Copper Alloys
Authors: Norfleet D.M. , Beavers J.A.
Published: December 2019

This chapter describes the conditions under which copper-base alloys are susceptible to stress-corrosion cracking (SCC) and some of the environmental factors, such as temperature, pH, and corrosion potential, that influence crack growth and time to failure. It explains that, although most of the literature has been concerned with copper zinc alloys in ammoniacal solutions, there are a number of alloy-environment combinations where SCC has been observed. The chapter discusses several of these cases and the effect of various application parameters, including composition, microstructure, heat treatment, cold working, and stress intensity. It also provides information on stress-corrosion testing, mitigation techniques, and basic cracking mechanisms.
Stress-Corrosion Cracking of Zirconium Alloys
Authors: Yau Te-Lin
Published: December 2019

Although zirconium resists stress-corrosion cracking (SCC) where many alloys fail, it is susceptible in Fe3+- and Cu2+-containing solutions, concentrated HNO3, halogen vapors, mercury, cesium, and CH3OH + halides. This chapter explains how composition, texture, stress levels, and strain rate affect the SCC behavior of zirconium and its alloys. It describes environments known to induce SCC, including aqueous solutions, organic liquids, hot and fused salts, and liquid metals. It also discusses cracking mechanisms and SCC prevention and control techniques.
