The Bamboo Fire Cycle Hypothesis: A Comment

The American Naturalist, 2001
The bamboo fire cycle hypothesis proposed by Keeley and Bond (1999) argues that lightning-ignited wildfire has synchronized flowering and recruitment of bamboos throughout Asia. They argue that mast flowering followed by mass mortality leads to fuel-load accumulation, encouraging ignition by lightning strikes that results in complete consumption of ...

FIRING COSTS AND BUSINESS CYCLE FLUCTUATIONS* [PDF]

International Economic Review, 2003
This article considers a real business cycle model with establishment level dynamics and uses it to analyze the effects of firing taxes. It finds that firing taxes can have significant consequences on business cycle fluctuations, that the largest effects are on aggregate employment, and that even relatively small firing taxes have substantial effects ...

Marginal fit changes during porcelain firing cycles

The Journal of Prosthetic Dentistry, 1995
The marginal fit changes that occur during the procelain firing cycles of palladium-copper and nickel-chromium copings both with shoulder and chamfer finish lines were investigated with scanning electron microscopy. Three copings from each alloy test group were used as nonporcelainized controls.

Indirect Fired Cycles: A Review

Volume 3: Coal, Biomass and Alternative Fuels; Combustion and Fuels; Oil and Gas Applications; Cycle Innovations, 1984
Indirect firing of combined Brayton and Rankine cycles has been considered as a means of utilizing solid fuels such as wood or coal for power generation. Combined cycles utilizing indirect firing offer potentially higher efficiencies than conventional direct fired Rankine cycles.

Carbon cycling after boreal forest fire

Science, 2021
Fire Ecology Wildfire activity has been increasing in the boreal forests of the Northern Hemisphere, releasing carbon into the atmosphere from biomass and soil, with potential feedback to climate warming. In a long-term study, Mack et al. analyzed wildfire impacts on the carbon balance of boreal forest in Alaska, with particular focus on forest ...

Rational firing cycle for converter lining

Refractories, 1971
The firing of linings in converters made from tar-bonded refractories should be done with portion loading of coke in amounts of 200 kg, with careful control of the oxygen consumption. The temperature relationship with the rate of discharge of volatiles from the tar should be taken into account.

The Radovich Cycle: A Novel MSW-Fired Heat Cycle

ASME 2009 Power Conference, 2009
A conceptual study was performed for a novel heat cycle designed to utilize fuel gases produced by a Taylor Biomass Energy (TBE) Gasification System. The system is sized to consume 500 dry tons per day Municipal Solid Waste (MSW). The heat cycle utilizes a Solid Oxide Fuel Cell (SOFC) feeding directly to a Twin-Fluidized Bed Steam Gasification Unit ...

Estimation of fire frequency and fire cycle: a computational perspective

Ecological Modelling, 2002
This paper examines different concepts and methods of estimating fire frequency and fire cycle used in models of forest dynamics, from a computational perspective. Fire frequency and fire cycle can be defined in point-based and area-based ways, and the analytical results indicate that the different definitions are interrelated with each other, except ...

Nataraja: India's Cycle of Fire

Environmental History Review, 1994
In the center dances Shiva, a drum in one hand and a torch in the other, while all around flames inscribe an endless cycle of fire. This-the nataraja, the Lord of the Dance-is more than one of Hinduism's favored icons. It is a near-perfect symbol of Indian fire history.
