| Vitrification Vitrification is a process of converting a material into a glass-like amorphous solid that is free from any crystalline structure, either by the quick removal or addition of heat, or by mixing with an additive. Solidification of a vitreous solid occurs at the glass transition temperature (which is lower than melting temperature, Tm, due to supercooling).When the starting material is solid, vitrification usually involves heating the substances to very high temperatures.

| Bradypterus Bradypterus is a genus of small insectivorous songbirds ("warblers") in the newly recognized grass warbler family (Megaluridae).

The range of this genus extends through the warm regions from Africa around the Indian Ocean and far into Asia.The megalurid bush-warblers are related to the grass-warblers of Locustella and Megalurus, but share lifestyle and related adaptations and apomorphies with Cettia, the other genus of bush-warblers.
