Exploratory study into a safety format for composite columns exposed to fire [PDF]
, 2019 Current performance based structural fire engineering approaches evaluate structural behaviour under prescribed fire scenarios. The mechanical properties of the materials, the load conditions and geometric parameters are all however fraught with ...

Operationalizing BioSSbD: A safe‐and‐sustainable‐by‐design framework for biorefineries
Biofuels, Bioproducts and Biorefining, EarlyView.Abstract Biorefineries are central to the transition toward a circular bioeconomy; however, their increasing scale and technological heterogeneity, and the integration of biological, chemical, and thermochemical processes introduce complex challenges related to safety, sustainability, and operational reliability. Existing Safe‐and‐Sustainable‐by‐Design

First Approximations of Prescribed Fire Risks Relative to Other Management Techniques Used on Private Lands. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Fire is widely recognized as a critical ecological and evolutionary driver that needs to be at the forefront of land management actions if conservation targets are to be met. However, the prevailing view is that prescribed fire is riskier than other land

Investigating the relationship between stakeholder opinion about wildfire management and landscape context using GIS [PDF]
, 2006 Colorado residents living in the wildland urban interface (WUI) were asked about their perception of wildfire risk and their willingness-to-pay (WTP) for three fire management procedures: fuel reduction by thinning, fire suppression and prescribed fires.

‘Where are the adults?’: Troubling child‐activism and children's political participation
British Educational Research Journal, EarlyView.Abstract Children's political participation is a well‐established theme in childhood studies. In this article we offer an original account of child activism that takes into account the entangled and emergent aspect of children as activists. We begin with a historical and a conceptual review, noting the importance of mid‐20th century developments such ...

The Impact of Prescribed Fire on Moth Assemblages in the Boston Mountains and Ozark Highlands, in Arkansas [PDF]
, 2019 In addition to the impacts of prescribed fires on forest vegetation, this ecosystem process also has dramatic impacts on associated insect assemblages. For herbivorous, terrestrial insects, fire predictably results in a cycle of initial insect population

Simulating Grassland Prescribed Fires Using Experimental Approaches [PDF]
Fire Ecology, 2015 AbstractSmall-scale fire approaches, like burn boxes, burn tables, and propane burners, are often used to facilitate experimental control over fire and allow greater replication. We compared characteristics of grassland prescribed fires to three experimental approaches to determine if these approaches simulate prescribed fires.

Activism as a long durée journey: Teachers against the Chilean neoliberal education model
British Educational Research Journal, EarlyView.Abstract In this paper, I use the idea of purposes of education, particularly subjectification, and the concept of love to explore long‐term teacher activism in Chile. ‘Long‐term activism’ is used to describe an ongoing struggle rather than activism confined to specific moments.
