Conceptualising quality early childhood education: Learning from young children in Brazil and South Africa through creative and play‐based methods

open access: yesBritish Educational Research Journal, EarlyView., 2023
Abstract Early childhood has increasingly been acknowledged as a vital time for all children. Inclusive and quality education is part of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, with the further specification that all children have access to quality pre‐primary education.

A Case Study for an Assessment of Fire Station Selection in the Central Urban Area

open access: yesSafety, 2023
With the continual acceleration of urbanization, the amount of urban infrastructure and the quality of public services are increasing in many cities. A pressing concern in this context is the growing problem of incompatible fire protection construction ...

Fire risk assessment in fire hazardous zones of gasoline stations [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Occupational Health, 2020
Abstract Objective This cross-sectional study aimed to assess fire risk in fire hazardous zones (FHZ) at the dispenser areas of gasoline stations. Methods There were 47 stations chosen for fire risk assessment and two zones around the

High-resolution observations of the near-surface wind field over an isolated mountain and in a steep river canyon [PDF]

open access: yesAtmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2015
A number of numerical wind flow models have been developed for simulating wind flow at relatively fine spatial resolutions (e.g., ~ 100 m); however, there are very limited observational data available for evaluating these high-resolution models.

Terrestrial Laser Scan Metrics Predict Surface Vegetation Biomass and Consumption in a Frequently Burned Southeastern U.S. Ecosystem

open access: yesFire, 2023
Fire-prone landscapes found throughout the world are increasingly managed with prescribed fire for a variety of objectives. These frequent low-intensity fires directly impact lower forest strata, and thus estimating surface fuels or understory vegetation

Daily black carbon emissions from fires in northern Eurasia for 2002–2015 [PDF]

open access: yesGeoscientific Model Development, 2016
Black carbon (BC) emitted from fires in northern Eurasia is transported and deposited on ice and snow in the Arctic and can accelerate its melting during certain times of the year. Thus, we developed a high spatial resolution (500 m  ×  500 m) dataset to

Non-Destructive Fuel Volume Measurements Can Estimate Fine-Scale Biomass across Surface Fuel Types in a Frequently Burned Ecosystem

open access: yesFire, 2021
Measuring wildland fuels is at the core of fire science, but many established field methods are not useful for ecosystems characterized by complex surface vegetation. A recently developed sub-meter 3D method applied to southeastern U.S.

Risk analysis of gas leakage in gas pressure reduction station and its consequences: A case study for Zahedan

open access: yesHeliyon, 2021
Industrial accidents have increased the importance of dealing with the risks of toxic exposure, fire and explosion. Despite the measures taken in the chemical industry to prevent accidents, the accidents occur often due to human error or process faults ...

Development and Evaluation of a Reynolds-Averaged Navier–Stokes Solver in WindNinja for Operational Wildland Fire Applications

open access: yesAtmosphere, 2019
An open source computational fluid dynamics (CFD) solver has been incorporated into the WindNinja modeling framework. WindNinja is widely used by wildland fire managers, as well as researchers and practitioners in other fields, such as wind energy, wind ...

Severe Fire Danger Index: A Forecastable Metric to Inform Firefighter and Community Wildfire Risk Management

open access: yesFire, 2019
Despite major advances in numerical weather prediction, few resources exist to forecast wildland fire danger conditions to support operational fire management decisions and community early-warning systems.
