Liability and the Use of Prescribed Fire in the Southern Plains, USA: A Survey of District Court Judges

Land, 2020
Suppression of historical fire regimes has changed the composition and structure of many fire-dependent ecosystems, frequently resulting in decreased grazing productivity and biodiversity in grasslands and savannas.

Rupestonic Acid of Artemisia Rupestris L. Extract Treats Pulmonary Fibrosis in COPD by Targeting TGF‐β1

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
RA of EEAR inhibits TGF‐β1 ubiquitination and changes conformation by target binding TGF‐β1, regulating TGF‐β1/Smad2/3 signaling pathway. Thus it down‐regulated downstream protein expression, inhibited EMT and collagen deposition of ECM, in order to EEAR preventing PF in COPD.

Evolution of trace gases and particles emitted by a chaparral fire in California [PDF]

, 2012
Biomass burning (BB) is a major global source of trace gases and particles. Accurately representing the production and evolution of these emissions is an important goal for atmospheric chemical transport models.

Genomics Insights Into High‐Latitude Adaptation of Tibetan Macaques

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Tibetan macaques exhibit unique adaptations to cold, high‐latitude environments, including shortened tails and enhanced fat storage. Genomic analyses reveal a species‐specific TBX6 mutation linked to tail reduction and selection on lipid metabolism genes.

Prescribed burning in Italy: issues, advances and challenges

iForest - Biogeosciences and Forestry, 2013
Prescribed burning has been carried out since the late 1970s in several southern European countries. Italy hosted some pioneer experiences in the early ’80s, but these did not follow up into practical implementation, and few studies and applications were

Heterointerface‐Functionalized Photoelectric Response of Metal‐Oxide Schottky Photodiode for Intelligent Fire Detection

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A heterointerface‐functionalized Schottky photodiode (HF‐SPD) is developed to explore the photoelectric capabilities of low‐temperature oxide semiconductors. Besides the remarkable UV detection capability, the bias‐tunable photo response endows HF‐SPD with the unique wavelength selectivity.
