The fire before the flames: State omissions, deregulation and the limits of the Grenfell Tower public inquiry

open access: yesJournal of Law and Society, EarlyView.
Abstract The Grenfell Tower Public Inquiry investigated the causes of a West London residential fire that killed 72 people. Its Final Report makes some headline‐grabbing criticisms about how post‐2010 deregulation contributed to regulatory failures preceding the fire.

The Diremption of Meaning

open access: yesModern Theology, EarlyView.
Abstract Examining work by Rowan Williams, this essay explores what he often refers to as the ‘difficulty’ of writing theology. The difficulty of theology lies in engaging the ruse of having ultimate answers to ultimate questions. The stakes are high: ‘God‐talk’ must concern itself with truth, with reality.

A Relational Perspective on Land in Armed Conflict: Analysing the Village Guard Mobilisation in Turkey

open access: yesStudies in Ethnicity and Nationalism, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article examines the Turkish state's Village Guard system, revived in the 1980s as part of its counterinsurgency strategy against the Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK). While often framed as a defensive militia, the Village Guards became central to the state's exceptional governance in Kurdistan, both facilitating military control and ...

Perovskite‐based time‐domain signal‐balancing LiDAR sensor with centimeter depth resolution

open access: yesInfoMat, Volume 8, Issue 4, April 2026.
In this study, we present a monolithic high‐speed perovskite‐based photodetector capable of directly sensing the time delay between two light pulses with a temporal resolution of at least 170 ps. This outstanding time resolution is achieved through a signal‐balancing detection scheme that effectively overcomes the limitations of conventional ...

Lifting Phenomena due to Vortex-Flame Interactions of Jet Diffusion Flames.

open access: yesTRANSACTIONS OF THE JAPAN SOCIETY OF MECHANICAL ENGINEERS Series B, 2000
Lifting phenomena caused by vortex-flame interactions have been investigated about diluted-propane jet diffusion flames forced by a speaker installed at the bottom of a fuel tube. Open jet diffusion flames were formed on a co-flow burner composed of the inner fuel tube and an outer air tube. Two type nozzles of rim thickness of 1 mm and 0.2 mm were set

Plume‐Coupled Long‐Range Spotting Drove the Explosive Spread of the 2018 Camp Fire

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 6, 28 March 2026.
Abstract Extreme fire spread during the 2018 Camp Fire in northern California was driven by organized long‐range spotting tightly coupled to plume dynamics. Doppler radar and satellite observations reveal distinct regions of ember lofting and downwind fallout within the convective column, forming direct pathways for firebrand transport several (up to ...

Annular Air Gap Area Impact on Flame Regime Transition and Combustion in Low-chamber-pressure Air Heater [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Applied Fluid Mechanics
This study combines high-speed shadowgraph imaging with numerical simulations to systematically examine the effect of the annular air gap area on the spray combustion characteristics of an alcohol-liquid-oxygen-air tripropellant coaxial direct-flow ...
