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.

Heterogeneous Exhumation Mechanisms in Neoproterozoic Collisional Metamorphism: P–T Constraints From Pelotas and Punta del Este Terranes, Southern Brazil and Uruguay

Geological Journal, EarlyView.
Petrography, thermobarometry, and pseudosection modelling reveal peak metamorphic conditions of 3–7.5 kbar and 520°C–800°C in Tonian‐Cryogenian orthogneisses of the Dom Feliciano Belt. Metamorphic field gradients of 27°C/km–39°C/km and variable exhumation mechanisms support correlation of these units as remnants of a Himalayan‐type Piratini Orogeny ...

Testing a Relational Model of Workplace Spirituality Across Three Levels: Linking Employee Attitudes and Turnover in a Healthcare Setting

Human Resource Development Quarterly, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT A growing body of research demonstrates that purpose and meaning are significant to employee well‐being and organizational performance. Yet, increasing challenges in the workplace, including downsizing, layoffs, and job insecurity, can erode employees' sense of purpose and meaning.

Built it, but did they come? Monitoring winter feeding station use by endangered long‐tailed gorals

The Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.
Emergency feeding stations successfully supported endangered long‐tailed gorals during severe winter weather, with high utilization driven by snow depth. Because localized feed depletion triggered intraspecific conflict, managers should implement spatially dispersed feeding networks to optimize survival interventions for vulnerable populations ...

Linear Mechatronic Modeling of Rectangular Tank Sloshing Dynamics

International Journal of Mechanical System Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sloshing dynamics in partially filled tanks can strongly influence system‐level behavior when fluid motion couples with rigid‐body dynamics. This paper presents a linear and acausal two‐dimensional sloshing model for rectangular tanks, based on the reformulation of established sloshing theory within a modular, multi‐domain modeling framework ...
