EXPLORATORY FIRECLIMATE SURVEYS ON PRESCRIBED BURNS [PDF]
Monthly Weather Review, 1960 Abstract In the summer of 1957, short-term weather surveys were made in four prescribed burn areas in the central Sierra Nevada foothills and in the central Coast Range in California The local fireclimate patterns were studied, a fire-weather forecast was adapted to the burn area for each fire, and attempts were made to note the effects of the fires on

Extreme Fire as a Management Tool to Combat Regime Shifts in the Range of the Endangered American Burying Beetle [PDF]
, 2020 This study is focused on the population of federally-endangered American burying beetles in south-central Nebraska. It is focused on changes in land cover over time and at several levels of spatial scale, and how management efforts are impacting both the

Numerical Exploration of Thermal Shock Resistance in MgO–C Refractories
Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.A mesostructure‐resolved numerical framework is developed to evaluate the thermal shock resistance of MgO–C refractories. By modeling interface debonding under rapid temperature changes and introducing a modified thermal shock parameter that accounts for mesocracks, the study shows how graphite content and aggregate size influence thermal shock ...

The Response of Zigadenus fremontii to Variation in Fire Regime [PDF]
, 2010 California\u27s chaparral shrub communities are naturally exposed to dry-season fire. It could be reasoned that prescription burns set during the wet season by land managers would have more detrimental effects on plant regeneration than dry season fires

Fatigue Crack Initiation and Growth in Nanocrystalline Ni at Multiple Length‐Scales
Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.Overview of miniaturized in situ SEM fatigue setup and resultant fatigue crack growth data for nanocrystalline Ni. The presented study focuses on the analysis of fatigue crack growth rate (FCGR) in focused ion beam‐notched microcantilevers prepared from nanocrystalline (NC) Ni as a model material.

Putting out the Cerro Grande fire: a case study in government crisis communication [PDF]
, 2003 In 2000, the U.S. National Park Service (NPS) initiated a prescribed burn, which went awry, prompting New Mexico's largest wildfire to date. This paper examines the NPS’s crisis response in an effort to determine its media response, how that response ...

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Butterfly wing scales are intricate cuticular functional nanosctructures. This perspective suggests that spatially varying material properties, cytoskeletal constraints, and growth‐driven mechanical instabilities shape the resulting nanoscale architectures created from single cells.
