ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, Volume 9, Issue 1, January 2026.Modification of bamboo cell walls using chemical in‐situ bonding was carried out, while optimizing the arrangement of bamboo fibers. Additionally, an N‐P‐B flame retardant system was formed within the bamboo material to develop an ultra‐strong flame retardant bamboo‐based composite.

Fire and Materials, Volume 50, Issue 1, Page 108-122, January/February 2026.ABSTRACT This study evaluates the effectiveness of fire barrier solutions for upholstered furniture to enhance passive fire protection and reduce chemical exposure risks during regular use. Upholstered furniture ignition accounts for 22% of fatalities in reported home fires, often due to rapid flame spread and high heat conditions.

IET Computer Vision, Volume 20, Issue 1, January/December 2026.With urbanisation increasing, predicting the heat release rate (HRR) of building fires from visual data has become a key research focus. To address challenges, such as limited training data and complex models, we propose a lightweight neural network based on adaptive weight pooling and channel information interaction (APCI) that achieves high accuracy ...

Characteristics of EMI generated by negative metal-positive dielectric voltage stresses due to spacecraft charging [PDF]
, 1985 Charging of spacecraft surfaces by the environmental plasma can result in differential potentials between metallic structure and adjacent dielectric surfaces in which the relative polarity of the voltage stress is either negative dielectric/positive ...

Shielding of Unconventional High Surge Impedance Loading Transmission Lines
IET Generation, Transmission &Distribution, Volume 20, Issue 1, January/December 2026.This paper focuses on determining the optimal location and number of shield wires for a novel‐designed unconventional high surge impedance loading line. This line has a much lower surge impedance than conventional lines, raising key questions on the location of shield wires to meet an acceptable shielding failure rate (SFFOR).

Analysis of a back flashover across insulator strings on a 115 kV transmission line tower by PSCAD
KKU Engineering Journal, 2015 Lightning striking on a transmission tower induces high ground potential rise and high voltage at tower arms in which potential is normally at ground level, and subsequently causes overvoltage across an insulator string.

Sessile water droplets on insulating surfaces subject to high AC stress effect of contact angle [PDF]
, 2002 Surface pollution of outdoor high-voltage insulators is an important cause of flashover. We have undertaken an experimental study of electrical breakdown at the edges of a sessile water droplet on a planar, polymeric, insulating surface when subject to ...

Assessment of Life Safety Risk in Building Fires With an Integrated Fire and Evacuation Model
Discrete Dynamics in Nature and Society, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.This paper presents an integrated simulation methodology that combines fire hazard modeling with pedestrian evacuation analysis to evaluate how tenability conditions affect occupant egress. In the proposed approach, fire scenarios representative of leisure and spa resorts are modeled using the Fire Dynamics Simulator (FDS).
