Preparation and Sound Insulation Performance of Polystyrene Building Flame Retardant and Thermal Insulation Building Materials by Qiulan Guo

“…The experimental results show that MMH is well dispersed in PS matrix, PS-MMH-3 has the best tensile strength and elongation at break, the limit oxygen index (LOI) is 44.3% higher than that of pure PS, and the combustion rate is slow, indicating that PS-MMH-3 has good flame retardant properties.…”

Using ODD for HTML by Martin Holmes

“…This paper will discuss the use of ODD to define a highly constrained schema for HTML5 that will enforce stylistic rules and encoding practices, define custom attributes and value lists, and enable easier editing and validation of project content in the Oxygen XML Editor environment. I will provide a brief history of the project, whose first incarnation, created with the Dreamweaver HTML editor, was somewhat chaotically coded, and show how the implementation of an ODD-based schema provides huge advantages for authors, editors, and encoders, as well as substantially simplifying the code itself.…”
