Combustion Properties of Timber in Historic Structures: Case Study of the São Pedro de Alcântara Chapel Fire

Fire and Materials, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Timber plays a fundamental role in the fire performance of historic building components, where ageing and environmental exposure can markedly influence its physical and chemical properties. This study presents an experimental investigation of the fire behaviour of Ocotea sp.

Study of Damage to Shutters Exposed to a Vegetation Fire: Definition of Vulnerability Thresholds

Fire and Materials, EarlyView.
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 ...

Meniscus‐guided organic semiconductor single crystals: From fluid dynamics to morphology control and multifunctional applications

FlexMat, EarlyView.
Centered on the multiscale meniscus, this review dissects mass transport in meniscus‐guided coating into parallel and lateral components. By analyzing the balance of multiple factors during crystallization, it establishes a clear morphology‐performance relationship.

Chemistry Underlying the Behavior of Food and Agricultural Components During Industrial Manufacturing Processes and Its Implications in Quality Assurance, Food Quality, and Food Safety Management: A Systematic Review

Food Safety and Health, EarlyView.
Industrial manufacturing processes have transformative effects on the components of food matrix. These transformations in food matrix and components have direct implications for quality assurance (QA), food quality (e.g., nutritional profile and texture), and food safety management (e.g., pathogen control and toxin mitigation). ABSTRACT This systematic

From Physiology to Bioheat Simulation: A Data‐Driven Framework for Core Temperature Initialization

Heat Transfer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Accurate initialization of core body temperature is a critical yet often overlooked component of bioheat transfer models, particularly when such models are applied to heterogeneous populations and real‐world environmental conditions. Conventional bioheat simulations typically rely on fixed or idealized core body temperature values derived from

A Coupled AquaCrop–Richards Model for Improved Crop Yield Prediction Through Physically Based Soil Water Dynamics

Irrigation and Drainage, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Crop modelling is essential for agricultural water management but often relies on simplified water balance routines that limit representation of soil moisture dynamics. To address this limitation, we developed a coupled model that integrates the 1‐D Richards equation, solved using a finite difference method into the FAO AquaCrop.

Bias Correction of ERA5 Temperature Across Five Topoclimatic Clusters: A Comparative Evaluation of Four Methods

International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
ERA5 near‐surface temperature over South America exhibits systematic cold biases in daily maximum temperature and warm biases in daily minimum temperature. To address the continent's strong climatic and topographic heterogeneity, South America was partitioned into five topoclimatic clusters, and four bias‐correction approaches were evaluated. The Multi‐

Characterising Vento Norte Downslope Windstorms and Their Thermal Impacts in Southern Brazil

International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
Using 20 years of hourly INMET observations in Santa Maria (southern Brazil), we identify 189 Vento Norte (VNOR) downslope windstorms, ~72% in winter, marked by abrupt warming, drying and strong northerly gusts. Across five biometeorological indices (TEFW, TDI, THI, HDI, Humidex), VNOR hours consistently show significantly higher thermal discomfort ...
