Chile 2017 fires: fire-prone forest plantations

, 2017
During the 2016/17 fire season in central Chile, wildfires burned about 600,000 ha, a record for the region (most of the area burned between 18-Jan and 5-Feb, 2017). Two factors are considered the main responsible of such a large area burned: (1) an intense drought with strong head waves (January was the hottest month in […]

Exploiting Ferroelectric and Spintronic Dynamics for Neural Network Computation

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Ferroelectric and spintronic devices, relying on the control of polarization and magnetization, offer intrinsically fast, durable, energy‐efficient, and low‐latency building blocks for analog in‐memory computing. The hysteretic dynamics of an order parameter are leveraged to provide nonvolatile, multistate memory and nonlinear switching. Brain‐inspired

Will fire-smart landscape management buffer the effects of climate and land-use changes on fire regimes?

Ecological Processes
Background Long-term farmland abandonment has increased fuel build-up in many Euro-Mediterranean mountainous regions. The high fuel hazard in these landscapes, combined with ongoing climate change, is increasing the frequency of extreme wildfires, thus ...

Relationship between forest fires and air quality: a study of particulate matter in localities distant from the main emission source [PDF]

Brazilian Journal of Biology
Wildfires represent a growing threat to air quality in fire-prone regions; however, the spatiotemporal dynamics of pollutant dispersion to distant localities remain inadequately characterized.

Using photovoice to understand community perceptions of firearm risks and protective factors among Asian Americans

American Journal of Community Psychology, EarlyView.
Abstract This study used photovoice methodology to explore Asian Americans' perspectives on the root causes and protective factors of firearm violence in their communities. Photovoice provided a participatory platform for community members to document lived experiences and identify priorities for change.

Fire and climatic extremes shape mammal distributions in a fire‐prone landscape

Diversity and Distributions, 2016
AbstractAimExtreme climatic events and large wildfires are predicted to increase as the world's climate warms. Understanding how they shape species’ distributions will be critical for conserving biodiversity. We used a 7‐year dataset of mammals collected during and after south‐east Australia's Millennium Drought to assess the roles of fire history ...

Freedom dreaming of migrant justice: Critical reflections on counterspaces and institutional violence in the university

American Journal of Community Psychology, EarlyView.
Abstract US universities are built on stolen land and sustained through hierarchies of power that produce what migrant justice scholars name as b/order regimes. As institutions that claim to be sites of learning and inclusion, universities are fraught with contradictions as simultaneously sites of dispossession, exclusion, and control.

The Politics of Framing the Student Problem: Inquiries Into Australian Civics Education, 2006–2024

Australian Journal of Social Issues, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Recurring debates about civics, the kinds of history that should, and should not, be taught in school, and ‘standards debates’ about the ‘basics’ typically follow on the heels of recurring moral panics about the ‘declining’ state of ‘our’ education system.

Fine Particulate Matter Constituents, Ozone, and Systemic Lupus Erythematosus: A Large General‐Population Cohort Analysis With Extended Quantile g‐Computation

Arthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Objective The aim of this study was to investigate whether exposure to mixture of individual fine particulate matter (PM2.5) chemical constituents is associated with incident systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and if ozone modifies this association and/or is associated with SLE onset.

Phantom citations: An empirical study of non‐existent and unverifiable references in scholarly literature

Journal of the Association for Information Science and Technology, EarlyView.
Abstract The integrity of scholarly communication depends critically on the accuracy and verifiability of cited references. Citations enable readers to trace prior work, assess evidence, and situate new contributions within the existing literature. However, concerns have emerged regarding the presence of references in published papers that cannot be ...
