Remedies to Thermal Radiation in Fused Silica Optical Fibers
Journal of Telecommunications and Information Technology, 2023 During fire incidents, optical fibers located with-in a fire-resistant cable are usually exposed to temperatures of 800◦C to 1000◦C. Hot fibers generate narrowband thermal (incandescent) radiation and collect broadband thermal radiation originating from

'Fire hardening' spear wood does slightly harden it, but makes it much weaker and more brittle [PDF]
, 2016 It is usually assumed that 'fire hardening' the tips of spears, as practised by hunter-gatherers and early Homo spp., makes them harder and better suited for hunting.

Functional consistency across two behavioural modalities:Fire-setting and self-harm in female special hospital patients [PDF]
, 2007 Background: Fire-setting and self-harm behaviours among women in high security special hospitals may be understood using Shye's Action System Theory (AST) in which four functional modes are recognized: 'adaptive', 'expressive', 'integrative', and ...

TEMPERATURE HETEROGENEITY OF TRAVELLING FIRE AND ITS INFLUENCE ON COMPOSITE STEEL-CONCRETE FLOOR [PDF]
Civil Engineering Journal, 2016 In order to follow modern trends in contemporary building architecture, which is moving off the limits of current fire design models, assumption of homogeneous temperature conditions used for structural fire analysis needs to be revised. In this
