In most theories of laminar flame spread over solid combustibles, radiation is neglected. However, when gas motion is completely absent, which may occur in the quiescent, microgravity environment of a spacecraft, the importance of radiation compared to convection is enhanced. We develop a theoretica

The paper describes experiments in which high frequency electric fields were applied across flames generated by the action of laser-induced sparks. The objective of the study was to establish whether such fields affect the rates of flame propagation in mixtures at one atmosphere pressure of methane/
## Abstract The catalytic combustion of carbon black (CB) used as a model of diesel soot in tight contact with a commercial ceria (CeO~2~) was investigated. Oxygen mole fractions of 10, 5, and 1 % in the gas phase were tested in order to gain a better understanding of the redox properties of ceria
## Abstract Metallic implants of titanium are used therapeutically in biomedicine because of its excellent biocompatibility. However, no metal or alloy is completely inert. We have previously shown that titanium oxide (TiO~2~) is transported in blood by phagocytic monocytes and deposited in organs
