By comparison, a 20% increase in perennials caused a 3% decrease in the expected burned area, which reflects increases in predicted wildfire probability in areas that currently have few perennials and decreases where they are currently more abundant. Warmer temperatures caused consistent, but fairly ...
An automated validation system validates whether a property of a policyholder receiving at least one insurance benefit is currently receiving remote monitoring services, as represen
(SBI test) was chosen in comparison to the investigations in Sect.1.4. The question of whether there are clear tendencies for different fire behaviour of the plants in a façade fire with corresponding high fire exposure (compartment, balcony or waste container fires) is the focus here. The ...
Over the last decades, an increasing trend in larger and more severe wildfires has been generally observed over many fire-prone regions, namely in the Mediterranean basin [1,2,3], California [4,5,6], and Australia [7,8]. More frequent hot and dry summer conditions, combined with climate...
Comparison of Hausdorff distance between simulated and actual results of the two models. 5.3. Discussion In the normal LSTM model, the wind speed and the ROS are simultaneously input to the input gate, output gate, and forget gate of the LSTM unit. The interaction between wind and fire is...
There's nothing like a mini-rant to get my blood flowing after 24 hours in transit in cramped quarters on a jumbo jet. I will admit that I am cranky-er when jetlagged and have low blood sugar, and worse, that I have had nothing but bad vibes whenever I
Washing machines greatly simplify the task of washing clothes in comparison to previous generations where people relied on a bucket of warm, soapy water. However, this luxury can quickly come to a halt when one goes to wash their laundry only to discover that the machine will not start, or ...
which has substantial implications in Mediterranean regions where shrublands are the dominant land cover. The extent of the difference in wildfire severity between treated and untreated areas was higher than anticipated considering the less complex structure of shrublands in comparison to other vegetation...
