Changes in avian diversity and potential invasive seed dispersal post-wildfire in a Southeastern deciduous forest; Flipper Bend Woods, Signal Mountain, Tennessee
In eastern deciduous forests, fire-disturbance and its ecological implications have not been heavily studied. In Tennessee, a recently burned site (2016) presented a unique opportunity to analyze habitat regrowth two-three years after a major wildfire thought to have been worsened by invasive …

The structural response of steel I-section members subjected to elevated temperature gradients across the section
… temperatures likely to be reached in real fires in buildings or ISO 834 fire resistance tests. Experiments have employed nominally full size models, heated using high powered, ceramic insulated, electrical heating elements at temperatures up to 1000°C. The experiments have been conducted …

Application of computational fluid dynamics techniques to the analysis of building fires
… and recreate the complicated development of fires in buildings of a non-trivial geometry. It also includes comparative studies of different codes in a practical context and an examination of the limitations and adaptability of state of the art general purpose CFD code for fire modelling. This …

Measurement of Window Glass Temperature With a Fluorescence Intensity Ratio Optical Fibre Sensor
… the surface temperature of window glass during a fire. A comparison has been made between the intrinsic optical fibre sensor and thermocouples (the conventional temperature measuring device used in fire research). Neodymium doped fibre was used as the temperature sensing element. Due to the …

Fire dynamics in Amazonia
<p>Fires are major disturbances for ecosystems in Amazonia. Because of their short time scale and strong links to biogeochemical cycles, fires significantly affect fluxes and stocks of carbon and nutrients, change air composition, and modify ecosystems structure and functioning. Fires are strongly …

Effect of lining thermal inertia on small-scale compartment fire
The use of small scale facilities in experimental fire research studies is well estabhshed. This thesis concerns the use of small scale facilities to examine principally the influence of thermal inertia of the lining material on ventilated enclosure fire The radiation error of the thermocouple …

Product Evaluation and Process Improvement Guidelines for the Personal Protective Equipment Manufacturers based on Human Factors, NIOSH Guidelines and System Safety Principles
… which voluntarily agreed to participate in the research were chosen. The complex PPES is an Air-Pak, a self contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) used by first responders for artificial breathing in life-threatening scenarios and the simple PPES is the Fire-Eye device, a thermal sensor that …
