Forest fires: Evaluation of government intervention measures [PDF]
The purpose of this paper is to examine the relation between government measures, volunteer participation, climate variables and forest fires. A number of studies have related forest fires to causes of ignition, to fire history in one area, to the type ...

Experimental methods for wind tunnel studies of seed dispersal by wind
Applications in Plant Sciences, EarlyView.Abstract The complexity and variability of natural environments make quantitative studies of seed wind dispersal challenging. Wind tunnel experiments offer a controlled alternative to investigate the mechanisms of seed wind dispersal. This review focuses on wind tunnels and the associated technologies used for studying seed wind dispersal, including ...

Archaeology in Oceania, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Shell middens in Gippsland along the eastern half of Victoria's coastline have usually been characterised as small, short‐duration camp sites with relatively low shell densities and low taxonomic diversity. Here we present new excavation results from a dense, high‐diversity site at Red Bluff near the eastern end of GunaiKurnai Country, a ...

Modeling Firebrand Spotting in WRF-Fire for Coupled Fire–Weather Prediction
FireThis study develops, implements, and evaluates the Firebrand Spotting parameterization within the WRF-Fire coupled fire–atmosphere modeling system. Fire spotting is an important mechanism characterizing fire spread in wind-driven events. It can accelerate the rate of spread and enable the fire to spread over streams and barriers such as highways ...

Forest Fires Prediction: A Proposal for a new hybrid index [PDF]
, 2013 All over the world, statistics show that forest fires rate has been increasing in the recent decades although many studies and various indices were proposed to predict fire occurrence and then take in advance the necessary actions. These indices use only

Activism as a long durée journey: Teachers against the Chilean neoliberal education model
British Educational Research Journal, EarlyView.Abstract In this paper, I use the idea of purposes of education, particularly subjectification, and the concept of love to explore long‐term teacher activism in Chile. ‘Long‐term activism’ is used to describe an ongoing struggle rather than activism confined to specific moments.

Fiber‐type soft bioelectronics for wearable and implantable sensing and therapy
BMEMat, EarlyView.Fiber‐type soft bioelectronics are emerging as versatile platforms for wearable and implantable health monitoring and therapeutic applications. These bioelectronics use organic and inorganic matrices combined with advanced fillers, which feature high conductivity, electrochemical sensitivity, softness, and biocompatibility.

The spread of non‐native species
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The global redistribution of species through human agency is one of the defining ecological signatures of the Anthropocene, with biological invasions reshaping biodiversity patterns, ecosystem processes and services, and species interactions globally.
