Char Layer Thickness Evolution During Structural Timber Fire Experiment and Final Density Profile

Fire and Materials, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper evaluates several non‐destructive experimental methods for determining the char layer thickness and its density profile in structural timber samples exposed to standard ISO 834 fire curve experiments. Microwave echo pulse, ultrasonic echo pulse, X‐ray computed tomography, and resistance drilling were evaluated.

Experimental and Numerical Investigation on Ignition and Horizontal Flame Spread for Recycled Plastic Pellets

Fire and Materials, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Fires in recycling facilities are known for producing noxious fumes, having high heat release rates (HRRs), being difficult to extinguish and causing significant devastation to business operations. This research aims to provide experimental data and numerical models from which performance‐based designs can be developed for recycling facilities.

Derivation and Validation of a Predictive Model for Advanced Colorectal Neoplasia Among Average‐Risk Adults in China

International Journal of Cancer, EarlyView.
Efficient pre‐colonoscopy risk stratification tools are needed, especially in China. Using multicenter colorectal cancer screening data from Shandong Province, the authors developed and validated a risk prediction model for advanced colorectal neoplasia in asymptomatic individuals using sociodemographic characteristics, lifestyle factors, and medical ...

Can the Parallel or Tandem Combination of Questionnaire‐Based Risk Assessment and Fecal Immunochemical Test Improve the Efficiency of Colorectal Cancer Screening?

International Journal of Cancer, EarlyView.
Colorectal cancer screening reduces disease burden, but the comparative performance of screening strategies remains unclear. This population‐based study shows that the tandem strategy (positive results from both questionnaire‐based risk assessment and fecal immunochemical testing) substantially improved the detection rates of colorectal cancer and ...

Architecting nano‐Al/HMX/CuO energetic micro‐units unlocks superior interface and highly efficient combustion

InfoMat, EarlyView.
Improving the dispersion of nano‐aluminum is of great importance in explosives and propellants. The spherical Al/HMX/CuO energetic micro‐units were prepared using microchannel technology, which significantly improved the uniformity and dispersion of nano‐Al. It also enhanced the mass and heat transfer efficiency between the fuel and oxidizer components,
