Evaluation of carotid wave intensity in firefighters following firefighting
European Journal of Applied Physiology, 2011Sudden cardiac events are the leading cause of line-of-duty firefighter deaths, but little information exists elucidating the physiologic responses. Wave intensity (WI) is a new hemodynamic index that provides information about the dynamic behavior of the heart and the vascular system and their interaction. The larger first peak wave (W1) occurs during

The article discusses the fire shelter developed by the scientists at U.S. National Aeronautics & Space Administration (NASA) Langley Research Center. It states that scientists used inflatable heat-shield technology that can withstand scorching temperatures that spacecraft endures when passing through the atmosphere. It mentions that the U.S.

SAFT: Firefighting Environment Recognition Improvement for Firefighters
2015This study is to develop a device that enables to protect life of firefighters and facilitate firefighting activities. In many cases, the existing studies focus on the development of firefighting suites with many sensors and entire network system. In contrast, there are not many studies related to simple device easily used for protecting one’s life in ...

Firefighting is a combinatorial optimization problem on graphs that models the problem of determining the optimal strategy to contain a fire and save as much from the fire as possible. We introduce and study a new version of firefighting, Politician's Firefighting, which exhibits more locality than the classical one-firefighter version.

Human beings have been telling stories about heroes for thousands of years. Although there have been different adventures and changes in the heroe´s looks and personalities, the stories have always followed the same structure. This structure was discovered by the mythologist Joseph Campbell, who called it the monomyth.
