ARE FOREST FIRES PREDICTABLE? [PDF]
International Journal of Modern Physics C, 2002 Dynamic mean field theory is applied to the problem of forest fires. The starting point is the Monte Carlo simulation in a lattice of a million cells. The statistics of the clusters is obtained by means of the Hoshen–Kopelman algorithm. We get the map pn → pn + 1, where pn is the probability of finding a tree in a cell, and n is the discrete time.

Improving the Accuracy of a Hygrothermal Model for Wood-Frame Walls: A Cold-Climate Study
Buildings, 2020 A one-dimensional transient hygrothermal model was used to simulate eight different wood-frame wall assemblies. Simulations were compared with measured results from a two-year field study exploring the effects of exterior insulation on wall moisture ...

Preparation and Characterization of Biobased Lignin-Co-Polyester/Amide Thermoplastics
Molecules, 2021 More than 23 million tonnes of lignin are produced annually in the US from wood pulping and 98% of this lignin is burnt. Therefore, creating products from lignin, such as plastics, offers an approach for obtaining sustainable materials in a circular ...

Kastamonu Üniversitesi Orman Fakültesi Dergisi, 2017 Yanginlar, orman ekosistemlerinde canli ve cansiz cevre uzerinde bircok etkiye sebep olmaktadir. Kuslar, yanginlardan dogrudan ya da habitatlarinda meydana gelen degisimler sebebiyle dolayli olarak etkilenen onemli canli gruplarindandir. Bununla birlikte, kuslar yanginlarin ve diger etkenlerin ekosistemlerde neden oldugu degisimlerin kisa sureler ...

Effects of ownership patterns on cross-boundary wildfires
Scientific Reports, 2021 Understanding ownership effects on large wildfires is a precursor to the development of risk governance strategies that better protect people and property and restore fire-adapted ecosystems. We analyzed wildfire events in the Pacific Northwest from 1984
