Wildfire Emissions From European Boreal Fuels: Effects of Fuel Type and Moisture Content

Fire and Materials, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The increasing severity of wildfires poses significant challenges through the release of greenhouse gases and other harmful gases and particles. Although field measurements exist, there is a lack of systematic data collection to understand the influence of moisture content on the particle and gas emissions of boreal fuels, particularly for ...

Investigation of Systematic Discrepancies Between MCC and TGA Measurements Affecting the Determination of Heat of Combustion

Fire and Materials, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The determination of step‐resolved effective heats of combustion is essential for detailed pyrolysis modelling in fire growth and flame spread predictions, especially in multi‐step processes where the heat of combustion can differ between reaction steps.

Combustion Properties of Timber in Historic Structures: Case Study of the São Pedro de Alcântara Chapel Fire

Fire and Materials, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Timber plays a fundamental role in the fire performance of historic building components, where ageing and environmental exposure can markedly influence its physical and chemical properties. This study presents an experimental investigation of the fire behaviour of Ocotea sp.

Vehicle Fires: Significant Fire Hazard in Transportation Infrastructure

Fire and Materials, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Vehicle flammability poses a critical threat to transportation infrastructure, with recent fires in depots, tunnels, and car parks highlighting systemic vulnerabilities. These incidents often result in the total loss of vehicles and buildings, revealing the inadequacy of current fire safety standards for vehicle materials.

Study of Damage to Shutters Exposed to a Vegetation Fire: Definition of Vulnerability Thresholds

Fire and Materials, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study examines the fire behavior of wooden, PVC, and aluminum shutters through laboratory and large‐scale experiments. Laboratory tests were conducted using a cone calorimeter to assess the ignitability of the PVC and wooden shutters, focusing on the critical heat flux of ignition, ignition time and critical Flux Time Product (FTP ...

Association Rule Mining for Accidental Dwelling Fire Incidence Data Analysis in Greater Manchester, UK

Fire and Materials, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Association rule mining was used to identify patterns in accidental dwelling fire incidents attended by Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service over the period 2013/14 to 2023/24. The association rule mining process identified relationships between cooking fire incidence, distraction, living alone, deprivation, and fire injury.

Structural Covariance Analysis of Altered Brain Development in Neonates With Congenital Heart Disease After Surgery

Journal of Magnetic Resonance Imaging, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Brain development is altered in neonates with congenital heart disease (CHD), with well‐characterised reductions in regional brain volumes and enlargement of CSF spaces. However, perioperative morphological changes remain incompletely understood. Purpose To identify brain regions showing spatial patterns of coordinated expansion and
