Spinifex, fire, and fate

open access: yesGeographical Research, EarlyView.
Abstract Bushfires occur regularly in inland Australia because of the flammability of spinifex (Triodia species). Spinifex and fire are tied together by infertility: the plant is of limited palatability to consumers and accumulates into fuel. Spinifex regrows with cumulative rainfall, and fires recur every couple of decades.

Bushfire management, prescribed burning, and a right to fire?

open access: yesGeographical Research, EarlyView.
Bushfire control is a public policy priority in an era of climate change. Prescribed burning is one management solution. Prescribed burning policies prioritise human lives and avoidance of property losses. However, some species require fire to survive. We find the ‘right to fire’ is not prioritised in prescribed burning policy.

Effect of indirect lightning strike to 66kV transmission line in Java-Bali system

open access: yesMATEC Web of Conferences, 2018
Based on Java-Bali grid disturbance data, the 66kV transmission lines that is close to or intersect with 150kV or 500kV transmission line is often experienced earth fault due to insulator flashover.

Lightning current tests on radars and similar structures [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
A lightning stroke presents a real challenge due to its potential to cause irreversible damage on electronics. Future systems are packaged in composite shielding materials, which give little or no protection with respect to the electromagnetic fields ...

“I Was Known to be a G**k Lover”: Histories of Asian–Australian War Bride Marriages During the Vietnam War

open access: yesAustralian Journal of Politics &History, EarlyView.
Marriage has long been a legacy of overseas deployment for Australian servicemen. In the case of the war in Vietnam, Australian men often interacted with local women on base, in civilian spaces, or in passing. Occasionally, couples would form private relationships and, in some cases, marry and return to Australia at the end of deployment.

Lightning Location Method Using Orthogonal Coded Polarization Optical Time-Domain Reflectometer in Optical Fiber Transmission

open access: yesPhotonics
Lightning strike is one of the main factors affecting power transmission lines and may lead to broken strands and damage of transmission lines, resulting in abnormal power supply.

Bracket Diffusion: HDR Image Generation by Consistent LDR Denoising

open access: yesComputer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
Abstract We demonstrate generating HDR images using the concerted action of multiple black‐box, pre‐trained LDR image diffusion models. Common diffusion models are not HDR as, first, there is no sufficiently large HDR image dataset available to re‐train them, and, second, even if it was, re‐training such models is impossible for most compute budgets ...

Evaluating lightning hazards to building environments using explicit numerical solutions of Maxwell's equations [PDF]

open access: yes
The objective here is to describe the lightning hazards to buildings and their internal environments using advanced formulations of Maxwell's Equations. The method described is the Three Dimensional Finite Difference Time Domain Solution.
