Bees feeling the burn

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 1, Page 279-296, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Fire is a major form of environmental disturbance, and in recent years, due to anthropogenic climate change and anthropogenic land management, we are seeing increases in the frequency and intensity of fires. With bees being an important, diverse group of pollinators that is facing declines globally, understanding how they respond to fires is ...

Effects of Postinjection Application with Late Partially Premixed Combustion on Power Production and Diesel Exhaust Gas Conditioning

Journal of Combustion, 2011
The effects of postinjection with late partially premixed charge compression ignition (PCCI) were investigated with respect to diesel exhaust gas conditioning and potential power production. Initial tests comparing postinjection application with PCCI to

Experimental study of the effect of cycle pressure on lean combustion emissions [PDF]

Experiments were conducted in which a stream of premixed propane and air was burned under conditions representative of gas turbine operation. Emissions of NOx, CO, and unburned hydrocarbons (UHC) were measured over a range of combustor inlet temperature,

An Investigation of the Influence of Gas Injection Rate Shape on High-Pressure Direct-Injection Natural Gas Marine Engines

Energies, 2019
High-pressure direct-injection (HPDI) natural gas marine engines are widely used because of their higher thermal efficiency and lower emissions. The effects of different injection rate shapes on the combustion and emission characteristics were studied to

Off-center ignition in type Ia supernova: I. Initial evolution and implications for delayed detonation [PDF]

, 2006
The explosion of a carbon-oxygen white dwarf as a Type Ia supernova is known to be sensitive to the manner in which the burning is ignited. Studies of the pre-supernova evolution suggest asymmetric, off-center ignition, and here we explore its ...
