Influence of volatiles (H$_{2}$O and CO$_{2}$) on shoshonite phase equilibria by Vetere, Francesco, Namur, Olivier, Holtz, Francois, Almeev, Renat, Donato, Paola, Frondini, Francesco, Cassetta, Michele, Pisello, Alessandro, Perugini, Diego

“…Clinopyroxene (Cpx) is the main crystallising phase and is compositionally analogous to Cpx crystals found in the natural rock. Plagioclase (Pl) is stable only for water activity lower than 0.1, whereas Fe–Ti oxides are present in all experimental runs, except for those where log fO$_{2}$ was lower than ${-}$9, (${\Delta }$NNO ${-}$0.11) irrespective of the presence of CO$_{2}$. …”

Research on Characteristics and Influencing Factors of High Temperature Disaster Risk in Wuhan Based on Local Climate Zone by Shujing GUO, Li ZHANG

“…Among the natural environment types, water area (LCZ G) has the lowest average value of high temperature disaster risk, which indicates that water can effectively mitigate the risk of high temperature disaster; while for bare rock (LCZ E), exposed sand (LCZ F), and construction building (LCZ H) exposed outdoor, they typically have higher values of high temperature disaster risk due to solar radiation for a long time. …”
