discovery of DNA's double-helix structure, which won them a Nobel Prize in 1962, but they would not have been able to do so without the help of a pioneering female scientist. Rosalind Franklin's expertise in X-ray diffraction techniques allowed her to take clear pictures of DNA's ...
Over half of the studies utilized surveys (N = 6, 54.5%); other common techniques were interviews (N = 5, 45.5%) and experimental trials (N = 3, 27.3%). Nine (81.8%) studies considered indirect effects of wildland fire careers, whereas two (18.2%, both addressing sleep)...
We have developed a methodological approach in order to assess the hazard and vulnerability of WUI which is based on landscape analysis, on the use of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) techniques and remote sensing. Unlike traditional approaches which are based on local scale characterization of ...
particularly when interacting with communities, have been dire and have resulted in substantial socio-economic losses all over the world2,3. In North America, most notably was the 2016 Mcmurray fire in which the fire burned through 1,500,000 acres, causing destruction...
Techniques for predicting fire in structures have already been demonstrated, reducing the incidence of fire and material/human loss [26,27,28]. Unlike structural fires, forest fires have not yet seen significant developments in forest firefighting innovation that would increase firefighters’ occupational...
In addition to planning the resources for firefighting, this introductory survey can be used as a starting point for further research utilizing more advanced statistical methods, including spatial statistical techniques, thus leading to a deep understanding of the mechanisms leading to wildland fires. A...
[60]. Additionally, safe lifting techniques and stabilisation exercises could be introduced to strengthen vulnerable areas such as the back, shoulders, and knees, prone to injuries. This approach could optimise the physical readiness of wildland firefighters and mitigate the risk of injuries during ...
A Feature Paper should be a substantial original Article that involves several techniques or approaches, provides an outlook for future research directions and describes possible research applications. Feature papers are submitted upon individual invitation or recommendation by the scientific editors and ...
Therefore, it is necessary for firefighting commanders to study the following main forest fire behavior changes and practical observation techniques: first, the change of forest fire behavior, which can easily to cause casualties; second, using smoke color to judge forest fire behavior and forest ...
