The Problem of Sprinkler Reliability
Mokslas - Lietuvos ateitis, 2011 Sprinkler systems allow a considerable reduction of fire risk in buildings. Unfortunately, sprinklers are not fail-safe technical systems. Relatively high rates of sprinkler failures evoke the problem of reliability. A solution to this problem is considered from several viewpoints.

Delayed rainfall diminishes the positive response of soil respiration to warming
Grassland Research, EarlyView.Warming stimulates soil respiration and its components, while delayed rainfall suppresses them. Crucially, delayed rainfall diminishes or even reverses the positive response of soil respiration to warming by intensifying the drought stress, and autotrophic respiration is more vulnerable than heterotrophic respiration under this interaction.
