Application of influence diagrams to multi‐objective allocation of firefighting resources in process plants

The Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
Abstract Identification of firefighting strategies (i.e., which endangered units to suppress or cool first) in chemical and process plants falls under the domain of multi‐objective decision‐making (MODM), where not only the safety and integrity of the affected process plant but also the safety of on‐site and off‐site vulnerable targets matter.

Bio‐Inspired Robust Non‐combustible Bioplastic with Superinsulated Energy Harvesting for Intelligent Firefighting

ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
This study develops a novel non‐combustible chitosan‐based bioplastic (NCCB) via ethanol‐induced surface assembly. The material's inherent flame retardancy and thermally insulating, rough surface enable high‐performance TENGs. The NCCB‐TENG maintains stable output even when exposed to fire and exhibits dual sensitivity to temperature (25–200°C) and ...

Exploring the Role of Dysregulated Arousal in the Relationship Between Trauma and Addictive Behaviors Among College Students

Journal of Counseling &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The relationship between trauma and addictive behaviors is well‐established, yet factors mediating this relationship remain understudied. Given the prevalence of addictive behaviors among collegiate populations, we used path analysis to explore the mediating role of arousal dysregulation in the relationship between childhood trauma and a ...

Posttraumatic stress disorder prevalence among former first responders: A systematic review and meta‐analysis

Journal of Traumatic Stress, EarlyView.
Abstract First responders are at high risk of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), yet little research has examined PTSD prevalence within this population after individuals retire or resign from service. The current study is the first systematic review and meta‐analysis aiming to describe the evidence available on point and lifetime PTSD prevalence ...

Exact Solutions for the Moving Firefighter Problem on Trees

Networks, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The moving firefighter problem (MFP) is a more realistic variant of the classic firefighter problem (FP), where firefighters require time for both travel and defense. Unfortunately, the only known exact solution for the MFP does not scale. In this paper, we establish that the MFP is NP‐complete on trees of maximum degree three and present four
