    Description: To determine why certain desert plants form nebkhas whereas others do not, we investigated common sand-fixing plants of the Minqin desert region, with 108 plants and nebkha samples set up at the edge of the above region. Measurement and comparative analysis of markers such as silhouette layer width, area, and center height revealed the following trends: (i) The silhouettes of nebkha-forming plants are triangular or cylindrical, i.e., the width of these silhouettes decreases with increasing height, and the silhouette centers are positioned 30 cm above the ground. Thus, these plants are shrubs. Plants that do not accumulate sand to form nebkhas are rhombus-shaped, and their silhouette centers are located more than 30 cm above the ground. (ii) Drifting sand flux and sandstorm particles are mainly concentrated in the region between 0 and 30 cm above the ground, explaining why plants with lower silhouettes can easily accumulate sand to form nebkhas. (iii) After being buried in sand, ...

    Description: High temperature oxidation behavior of alloys is mostly affected by an external loading. The growth of oxide scale, oxide products, interfacial reactions and other characteristics have be affirmed to be affected by the external loading. Here, it provided the oxidation kinetics of several metals under the compressive loading. And the growth of oxide scale was distinguished in the form of thin oxide layer and thick oxide layer. Different compressive effect on the growth of oxide scale was summarized. At the initial oxidation stage, the applied compressive stress induced more defects on the surface of alloy, supplying more oxide neclei, thereby increased the growth of the thin oxide layer. In the case of the growth of the thick oxide layer, it was attrbuted to the short circuit paths of the oxide grain boudary inherited from the initial oxidation stage and the cracks or other defects deduced by the applied compressive stress. Thus the oxide kinetics of alloys was promoted. However,...
