A global behavioural model of human fire use and management: WHAM! v1.0 [PDF]
Geoscientific Model DevelopmentFire is an integral ecosystem process and a major natural source of vegetation disturbance globally. Yet at the same time, humans use and manage fire in diverse ways and for a huge range of purposes.

Strong Lead‐Free Bioinspired Piezoceramics for Durable Energy Transducers
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.We fabricated brick‐and‐mortar lead‐free piezoceramics with Bi0.5Na0.5TiO3 monocrystal platelets as bricks and amorphous silica as mortar. The alignment of the bricks and the presence of the amorphous silica led to anisotropic residual stresses. These residual stresses increase the samples toughness, strength and durability while the brick alignment ...

Extension of Large Fire Emissions From Summer to Autumn and Its Drivers in the Western US
Earth's Future, 2023 Burned areas in the western US have increased ten‐fold since 1980s, which are attributable to multiple factors, including increasing heat, changing precipitation patterns, and extended drought.

Effect of Socioeconomic Variables in Predicting Global Fire Ignition Occurrence
Fire, 2023 Fires are a pervasive feature of the terrestrial biosphere and contribute large carbon emissions within the earth system. Humans are responsible for the majority of fire ignitions.

Engineered Nanotopography to Modulate Growth and Signaling of Neuronal Networks
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.This study examines the interaction between neurons and nanoscale topographies on engineered substrates. Neurons cultured on nanowires, nanopillars and nanoneedles exhibit enhanced neurite outgrowth, form more organized neuronal circuits, and display improved synaptic connectivity, compared to flat substrates.

Recent Changes in Fire activity in Africa and their Potential Drivers
Biodiversidade Brasileira, 2019 Several studies report a decline in global burned area in recent years, primarily due reduced fire activity in Africa. In this study, we used the most recent 2002-2016 record of the Collection 6 MODIS MCD64 Burned Area Product to analyze changes in burned area in Africa, and to investigate the potential drivers of these changes. In the study period the

Understanding fire regimes: A biogeographical perspective
JàmbáFire regimes are often considered to be either driven by climate, fuel load or human activities. A significant proportion of fires across various ecosystems occur via large fire events.

Bio‐Inspired Artificial Ionic Mechanoreceptor
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.A skin‐inspired artificial mechanoreceptor based on ionic interactions is presented for biomimetic tactile sensing. Pressure‐driven ionic redistribution within microfluidic channels generates a self‐powered electrical signal without external bias. The generated waveform exhibits mechanoreceptor‐like temporal features, including overshoot and undershoot,
