Systematic review of dengue vaccine efficacy

BMC Infectious Diseases, 2019
Background Dengue is an arbovirus that has rapidly spread worldwide, and the incidence of dengue has greatly increased in recent decades. The actual numbers of dengue cases are underreported, and many cases are not classified correctly.

Modeling of fire exposure in facade fire testing

Fire and Materials, 2017
SummaryIn this paper, a comparative simulation study on 3 large‐scale facade testing methods, namely, the SP Fire 105, BS 8414‐1, and the ISO 13785‐2 methods, is presented. Generally good correspondence between simulations and experimental data has been found, provided that thermal properties of the facade material and heat release rates are known ...

Fifty years of progress in wildland fire modelling: from empirical to fully physical CFD models

Comptes Rendus. Mécanique, 2022
The aim of this short review is to present the progress made in wildland fire modelling during the last 50 years and the intellectual track followed by wildland fires models, from fully empirical models in the 60s, to semi-empirical ones in the 70s, to ...

Diversity of intrinsic frequency encoding patterns in rat cortical neurons : mechanisms and possible functions [PDF]

, 2010
Extracellular recordings of single neurons in primary and secondary somatosensory cortices of monkeys in vivo have shown that their firing rate can increase, decrease, or remain constant in different cells, as the external stimulus frequency increases ...

Assessment of heating and evaporation modelling based on single suspended water droplet experiments

, 2019
The work described in this paper is undertaken with the purpose of providing a detailed assessment of the current modelling capabilities of the effects of fire suppression systems (e.g., sprinklers) in fire-driven flows.

HTAP3 Fires: towards a multi-model, multi-pollutant study of fire impacts [PDF]

Geoscientific Model Development
Open biomass burning has major impacts globally and regionally on atmospheric composition. Fire emissions include particulate matter, tropospheric ozone precursors, and greenhouse gases, as well as persistent organic pollutants, mercury, and other metals.
