River Flows Are a Reliable Index of Forest Fire Risk in the Temperate Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area, Australia

open access: yesFire, 2021
Fire risk can be defined as the probability that a fire will spread across a landscape, that therefore determines the likely area burnt by a wildfire. Reliable monitoring of fire risk is essential for effective landscape management.

Multiple-Scale Relationships between Vegetation, the Wildland–Urban Interface, and Structure Loss to Wildfire in California

open access: yesFire, 2021
Recent increases in destructive wildfires are driving a need for empirical research documenting factors that contribute to structure loss. Existing studies show that fire risk is complex and varies geographically, and the role of vegetation has been ...

Chronobiology of Cancer: How Aging Fuels Oncogenesis at the Molecular Level

open access: yesAging and Cancer, EarlyView.
This graphical abstract illustrates the key biological pathways linking aging with cancer development and progression. In the upper left, cumulative exposure to ultraviolet radiation, toxins, and reactive oxygen species (ROS) causes DNA damage and genomic instability, whereas age‐related decline in repair mechanisms, such as ATM/ATR, BER, and NER ...

Increasing intensity and frequency of cold fronts contributed to Australia’s 2019–2020 Black Summer fire disaster

open access: yesEnvironmental Research Letters, 2022
Human-caused climate changes are increasing the risk of dangerous wildfires in many regions of the world. There are multiple, compounding aspects of climate change that are increasing fire risk, including large-scale climate changes driving hotter and ...

Forest Fuel Loads Estimation from Landsat ETM+ and ALOS PALSAR Data

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2021
Fuel load is the key factor driving fire ignition, spread and intensity. The current literature reports the light detection and ranging (LiDAR), optical and airborne synthetic aperture radar (SAR) data for fuel load estimation, but the optical and SAR ...

Forest Fire Risk Analysis

open access: yesHuman and Ecological Risk Assessment: An International Journal, 2005
ABSTRACT Southern Europe suffers from forest fires. The management of these disasters is of importance to both government authorities and the public. This article presents the results of a research project aimed at modeling forest fire events and producing fire risk maps.

Complementing Engel Classification: Postoperative Scalp EEG as an Objective Indicator in SEEG‐Guided Radiofrequency Thermocoagulation—A Seizure‐Onset Pattern‐Based Stratified Analysis—

open access: yesAnnals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Stereoelectroencephalography‐guided radiofrequency thermocoagulation (SEEG‐RFTC) is a minimally invasive therapy for drug‐resistant focal epilepsy. However, the relationship between specific seizure‐onset patterns (SOPs), particularly low‐voltage fast activity (LVFA), and postoperative scalp EEG normalization remains inadequately ...

Fire Risk of Polyethylene (PE)-Based Foam Blocks Used as Interior Building Materials and Fire Suppression through a Simple Surface Coating: Analysis of Vulnerability, Propagation, and Flame Retardancy

open access: yesFire, 2023
Building fires can spread through surface combustion of both combustible and interior finishing materials. Recently, the use of foam blocks as interior materials for high-rise residential buildings has increased.
