Combustion Properties of Timber in Historic Structures: Case Study of the São Pedro de Alcântara Chapel Fire

open access: yesFire and Materials, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Timber plays a fundamental role in the fire performance of historic building components, where ageing and environmental exposure can markedly influence its physical and chemical properties. This study presents an experimental investigation of the fire behaviour of Ocotea sp.

Study of Damage to Shutters Exposed to a Vegetation Fire: Definition of Vulnerability Thresholds

open access: yesFire and Materials, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study examines the fire behavior of wooden, PVC, and aluminum shutters through laboratory and large‐scale experiments. Laboratory tests were conducted using a cone calorimeter to assess the ignitability of the PVC and wooden shutters, focusing on the critical heat flux of ignition, ignition time and critical Flux Time Product (FTP ...

Fire Spread Characteristics of Cavities in Modular Constructions and Ventilated Facades

open access: yesFire and Materials, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Modular buildings have gained popularity as a sustainable building solution. However, the uncertainty of fire spread through vertical cavity spaces in such buildings has become a concern. Therefore, this study aims to fill the gap in fire behaviour within vertical cavity spaces.

Design Approaches for Oxygen Reduction Systems for Warehouse Storage Applications

open access: yesFire and Materials, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Oxygen reduction systems (ORS) are protection systems, with a design protection objective to limit fire spread beyond the point of ignition. Research has shown that the prescriptive design methods, in VdS 3527, EN 16750, and ISO 20338, are not appropriate as prescriptive design methods as they result in insufficient protection levels.

Nutraceutical Benefits of Anchomanes difformis Rhizome and Its Effects on Blood Glucose and Hepatorenal Function in Normoglycemic Rats

open access: yesFood Chemistry International, EarlyView.
Scientific analysis of Anchomanes difformis roots confirms significant nutraceutical potential, containing high levels of carbohydrates, proteins, and essential minerals. Phytochemical screening revealed antioxidants such as phenols and flavonoids, and although the extracts effectively lowered plasma glucose, safety testing showed dose‐dependent risks.

The matrilineal Turn: Wiradjuri matrilineal leadership, colonial disruption, and the work of cultural return

open access: yesFeminist Anthropology, EarlyView.
Abstract This article advances three claims regarding the matrilineal organization of Wiradjuri society in central New South Wales. Drawing on the late nineteenth and early twentieth century ethnographic record, it demonstrates that Wiradjuri descent, totem, moiety identity, and ceremonial authority were and are matrilineally organized, despite ...
