From One Strand Dyed/Undyed Hair With/Without Root to Fast and Successful STR Profiling and Evaluation With Principle Component Analysis

open access: yesELECTROPHORESIS, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Fallen/shed single hair shafts with/without roots can be encountered as evidence in crime scenes. Identification from hair exhibits serious difficulties, due to the low amount of DNA, PCR inhibitors, and the existence of DNA mostly in degraded forms. Exposure of hair to chemical oxidation, sunlight, etc.

A fire safety engineering approach to improving community resilience to the impacts of wildfire

open access: yesFire and Materials, EarlyView.
Abstract Each year severe wildfires continue to cause significant destruction resulting in the loss of life, property, critical infrastructure, and the environment. In an effort to increase community preparedness and resilience to wildfire, international jurisdictions have adopted both guiding principles and prescriptive codes that apply to both urban ...

The emission of pollutants from ornamental shrubs during forest fires

open access: yesFire and Materials, EarlyView.
Abstract This study investigates the combustion behavior, emissions, and aerosol production of four plant species: Laurus nobilis, Cistus monspeliensis, Photinia fraseri, and Cupressus sempervirens. The Heat Release Rate (HRR) and Smoke Production Rate (SPR) were measured, revealing that Cupressus sempervirens had the highest HRR and longest flame ...

Comprehensive laboratory study on smoke gases during the thermal oxidative decomposition of forest and vegetation fuels

open access: yesFire and Materials, EarlyView.
Abstract This study investigates the composition of smoke gases in forest and vegetation samples to draw conclusions about the actual smoke gas composition during wildfires. The focus is particularly on regions with extensive pine forests, like in Eastern Germany.

Progress to Develop Globally Harmonized International Testing Standards for Large Outdoor Fires, Including Wildland‐Urban Interface Fires

open access: yesFire and Materials, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The wildland‐urban interface (WUI) fire problem continues to perplex governments around the world. The WUI fire situation is not becoming better across the earth and globally harmonized test standards are required to help lessen the destruction in the event of WUI fire disasters. In this brief overview, a review of activities undertaken in ISO
