Experimental study on smoke temperature distribution characteristics in corridors of crew cabins
ObjectiveWhen a fire occurs in the multi-storey dwelling section of a ship, the temperature distribution pattern during the spread of smoke along corridors and ladder openings is significantly different from that of a building fire.

Effect of aerobic and resistance training on secreted protein acidic rich in cysteine, decorin, and myonectin muscle genes expression in rats fed with a high-fat diet [PDF]
Background and aims: Fatty diet can affect the expression of myokines. Thus, the aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of aerobic and resistance training secreted protein acidic rich in cysteine (SPARC), decorin (DCN), and myonectin muscle gene ...

Effect of the Aerobic and Resistance Training on Follistatin-Like 1 and Leukemia Inhibitory Factor Muscle Gene Expression in Rats Fed With a High-Fat Diet [PDF]
Background: Follistatin-like 1 (FSTL-1) and leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF) are two myokines that are affected by overweight and have inflammatory and damaging effects.

Delineating and Reconstructing 3D Forest Fuel Components and Volumes with Terrestrial Laser Scanning
Predictive accuracy in wildland fire behavior is contingent on a thorough understanding of the 3D fuel distribution. However, this task is complicated by the complex nature of fuel forms and the associated constraints in sampling and quantification.

Features of fracture height propagation in cross-layer fracturing of shale oil reservoirs
Triaxial fracturing modeling experiments were carried out on whole diameter shale cores from different layers of Shahejie Formation in the Dongpu sag, Bohai Bay Basin to find out the vertical propagation shapes of hydraulic fractures in different ...
