Modeling the Probability of Tsunami Fire Ignition Based on Data From the 2011 Tohoku and 2024 Noto Peninsula Earthquakes, With Recommendations to Reduce Emerging Fire Risk in Tsunami Vertical Evacuation Structures

open access: yesEarthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Recent tsunamigenic earthquakes in Japan have highlighted the emerging fire hazard triggered by tsunami inundation and its impact on tsunami vertical evacuation (TVE) structures. This new type of fire following earthquake, referred to as “tsunami fires,” may be a potential universal hazard that tsunami‐prone countries face; however, it has not

Decentralized Wind Energy Systems as Catalysts for Urban Resilience: A Design Framework

open access: yesEnergy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Confronting the escalating extreme weather events (EWEs) and intensifying winds, this study proposes an active response to these issues by exploring decentralized wind energy production for Peng Chau Island, Hong Kong. It integrates theoretical perspectives on energy democracy—empowering local communities through energy autonomy—and urban ...

Simulations of Photovoltaic Systems on Different Types of Ships in Sweden: Solar Energy Generation, Comparison to Energy Consumption, and Reduction of CO2 Emission

open access: yesEnergy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.
Investigation of the potential of using solar cells on different types of ships, to see how it reduces energy consumption and emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2). From the reduction in fuel consumption, the fuel cost reduction was estimated, and an approximate payback time for the solar cell system was calculated.

Analysis of Energy Consumption, Economic Efficiency and Carbon Emissions of Ice Slurry Direct Supply System: A Case Study of China

open access: yesEnergy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Traditional air conditioners suffer from low energy efficiency and exacerbate grid peak loads. While ice storage offers energy‐saving potential, the systematic regulation of ice packing fraction (IPF) on cooling consumption and its synergy with dynamic carbon emissions remains unexplored.

Skin Reaction Induced by Aldehydes for Food Flavoring Agents

open access: yesSkin Reaction Induced by Aldehydes for Food Flavoring Agents
Guinea pigs were sensitized intracutaneously for 7 days (0.1 ml of 1% aldehyde solution/day) with nine aldehydes (p-anisaldehyde, benzaldehyde, citral, ethylvanillin, furfural, n-octanal, l-perillaldehyde, piperonal and vanillin) which are used as the food flavoring agents. Three weeks later, each aldehyde was injected by different concentrations (0.25-
