7.1 THE DETRIMENTAL EFFECTS OF LIVE FIREFIGHTING ON ARTERIAL FUNCTION IN FIREFIGHTERS
Artery Research, 2016 Background: Aging is associated with increased arterial stiffness and wave reflection, which is predictive of all-cause cardiovascular (CV) mortality (1–3). Firefighters have the highest cardiovascular mortality of any occupational group (4). High levels

Online Firefighting on Grids [PDF]
CoRR, 2019 The Firefighter Problem (FP) is a graph problem originally introduced in 1995 to model the spread of a fire in a graph, which has attracted considerable attention in the literature. The goal is to devise a strategy to employ a given sequence of firefighters on strategic points in the graph in order to contain efficiently the fire (which spreads from ...

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.This review synthesizes advances in predicting miners' vital signs by integrating environmental monitoring (dust, temperature, and gas) with physiological data. It highlights multi‐source data fusion techniques and early‐warning models for enhanced occupational safety in underground coal mines.

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 ...

The firefighter problem with more than one firefighter on trees
Discrete Applied Mathematics, 2013 In this paper we study the complexity of the firefighter problem and related problems on trees when more than one firefighter is available at each time step, and answer several open questions of Finbow and MacGillivray 2009. More precisely, when $b \geq 2$ firefighters are allowed at each time step, the problem is NP-complete for trees of maximum ...

ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.Nonfluorinated polymer networks for PFAS adsorption are synthesized using active ester click chemistry. Incorporating Lewis base ligands along with hydrophilic and hydrophobic co‐monomers leads to high PFOA binding efficiency. Ligand basicity and pH are found to play an important role in PFOA sorption.
