An Optimized Smoke Segmentation Method for Forest and Grassland Fire Based on the UNet Framework

Fire
Smoke, a byproduct of forest and grassland combustion, holds the key to precise and rapid identification—an essential breakthrough in early wildfire detection, critical for forest and grassland fire monitoring and early warning.

Design Approaches for Oxygen Reduction Systems for Warehouse Storage Applications

Fire and Materials, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Oxygen reduction systems (ORS) are protection systems, with a design protection objective to limit fire spread beyond the point of ignition. Research has shown that the prescriptive design methods, in VdS 3527, EN 16750, and ISO 20338, are not appropriate as prescriptive design methods as they result in insufficient protection levels.

The matrilineal Turn: Wiradjuri matrilineal leadership, colonial disruption, and the work of cultural return

Feminist Anthropology, EarlyView.
Abstract This article advances three claims regarding the matrilineal organization of Wiradjuri society in central New South Wales. Drawing on the late nineteenth and early twentieth century ethnographic record, it demonstrates that Wiradjuri descent, totem, moiety identity, and ceremonial authority were and are matrilineally organized, despite ...

FFYOLO: A Lightweight Forest Fire Detection Model Based on YOLOv8

Fire
Forest is an important resource for human survival, and forest fires are a serious threat to forest protection. Therefore, the early detection of fire and smoke is particularly important. Based on the manually set feature extraction method, the detection

First report on the soil seed bank damage due to fire at the Rohingya refugee camps in Bangladesh

JSFA reports, EarlyView.
Abstract Background The composition, density, and damage of the soil seed bank were studied at Kutupalong Rohingya refugee camp (the world's largest refugee settlement), Ukhiya, Cox's Bazar, Bangladesh, after a major human‐induced fire on March 22, 2021, causing huge damage to human lives, settlements, and the ecosystem.

Cutting through the noise: What can habitat selection modeling teach us about caribou‐fire space use dynamics?

The Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.
We synthesize the current knowledge regarding caribou habitat selection in relation to wildfires. Caribou responses to recent burns were generally weak and highly variable across subspecies or ecotypes, suggesting that post‐fire habitat selection is likely context‐dependent and the need for regionally adapted habitat management strategies.

On-site forest fire smoke detection by low-power autonomous vision sensor [PDF]

, 2010
Early detection plays a crucial role to prevent forest fires from spreading. Wireless vision sensor networks deployed throughout high-risk areas can perform fine-grained surveillance and thereby very early detection and precise location of forest fires.

An Efficient Forest Smoke Detection Approach Using Convolutional Neural Networks and Attention Mechanisms

Journal of Imaging
This study explores a method of detecting smoke plumes effectively as the early sign of a forest fire. Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have been widely used for forest fire detection; however, they have not been customized or optimized for smoke ...
