An Experimental and Numerical Investigation on the Initiation and Interaction of Double Cracks in Rocks under Hydromechanical Coupling by Jie Mei, Wanzhi Zhang

“…The results indicate that the increase in water pressure leads to the crack initiation being inclined to the original surfaces and the growth length along the crack fronts tending to be uniform; the small tensile stress zones are formed close to the crack tips, and significant compressive stress zones are formed at both sides of the crack surfaces; stress superposition and interaction occur when crack spacing is less than 2.5a; the interactive weakening effect is mainly present in the inner side (rock bridge zone) of cracks, while a certain degree of interactive enhancement effect exhibits in the outer sides; the cracks are much easier to initiate at the outer wing cracks when the spacing is less than the critical length (0.5a); and cracks with a dip angle of 45° are much easier to initiate at the endpoints of long axis. …”

Formaldehyde in Alcoholic Beverages: Large Chemical Survey Using Purpald Screening Followed by Chromotropic Acid Spectrophotometry with Multivariate Curve Resolution by Julien A. Jendral, Yulia B. Monakhova, Dirk W. Lachenmeier

“…A strategy for analyzing formaldehyde in beer, wine, spirits, and unrecorded alcohol was developed, and 508 samples from worldwide origin were analyzed. In the first step, samples are qualitatively screened using a simple colorimetric test with the purpald reagent, which is extremely sensitive for formaldehyde (detection limit 0.1 mg/L). 210 samples (41%) gave a positive purpald reaction. …”
