The emission of pollutants from ornamental shrubs during forest fires

open access: yesFire and Materials, EarlyView.
Abstract This study investigates the combustion behavior, emissions, and aerosol production of four plant species: Laurus nobilis, Cistus monspeliensis, Photinia fraseri, and Cupressus sempervirens. The Heat Release Rate (HRR) and Smoke Production Rate (SPR) were measured, revealing that Cupressus sempervirens had the highest HRR and longest flame ...

Dynamics of liquid plugs in prewetted capillary tubes: from acceleration and rupture to deceleration and airway obstruction [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2016
The dynamics of individual liquid plugs pushed at constant pressure head inside prewetted cylindrical capillary tubes is investigated experimentally and theoretically. It is shown that, depending on the thickness of the prewetting film and the magnitude of the pressure head, the plugs can either experience a continuous acceleration leading to a ...

Factors Increasing the Likelihood of Postoperative Hematomas Following Thyroid Surgery

open access: yesHead &Neck, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Neck hematoma following thyroid surgery is a potentially life‐threatening complication. Methods This retrospective case–control study reviewed neck hematoma reoperations following thyroid surgery (2009–2024), using 3:1 matching. Univariable analysis identified hematoma and delayed onset (≥ 6 h) risk factors, with odds ratios (ORs ...
