Chronically underestimated: a reassessment of US heat waves using the extended heat index
Environmental Research Letters, 2022 The heat index, or apparent temperature, was never defined for extreme heat and humidity, leading to the widespread adoption of a polynomial extrapolation designed by the United States National Weather Service.

Mathematical and Computer Modelling, 2007 In certain combustion models, an initial temperature profile will develop into a combustion wave that will travel at a specific wave speed. Other initial profiles do not develop into such waves, but die out to the ambient temperature. There exists a clear demarcation between those initial conditions that evolve into combustion waves and those that do ...
