Charring Behaviour of Mass Timber: A Comparison of Thin Intumescent Coatings and Plasterboard
ABSTRACT This study compares the charring behaviour of mass timber under varied heating conditions when protected by either different thin intumescent coating types or fire‐rated plasterboard layers. Bench‐scale fire experiments were conducted using the Heat‐Transfer Rate Inducing System (H‐TRIS).

Study of Damage to Shutters Exposed to a Vegetation Fire: Definition of Vulnerability Thresholds
ABSTRACT This study examines the fire behavior of wooden, PVC, and aluminum shutters through laboratory and large‐scale experiments. Laboratory tests were conducted using a cone calorimeter to assess the ignitability of the PVC and wooden shutters, focusing on the critical heat flux of ignition, ignition time and critical Flux Time Product (FTP ...

Nonparametric Regression for Cost‐Effectiveness Analyses With Observational Data—A Tutorial
ABSTRACT Healthcare decision‐making often requires selecting among multiple treatment options under budget constraints, particularly when one option is more effective but also more costly. Cost‐effectiveness analysis (CEA) provides a framework for evaluating whether the health benefits of a treatment justify its additional costs.
