This study investigates the latency of lightning-caused fires in the boreal coniferous forests of the Greater Khingan Mountains, employing advanced machine learning techniques to analyze the relationship between meteorological factors, lightning char...

The demand for renewable and environmentally friendly fuels has prompted the exploration of alternative energy sources to replace conventional fossil fuels. This work investigates the optimization of a ternary blend comprising cottonseed oil (CSO), n...

Brominated flame retardants (BFRs), including tetrabromobisphenol A (TBBPA) and dibromoneopentyl glycol (DBNPG), are present in both saturated and unsaturated polyester resins (UPRs). Given their toxicity, it is imperative to assess the content of th...

A demand to replace an easily combustible wood with wood–plastic–rubber composite with better thermal performance than wood is at its peak globally. Wood-based composite materials in the form of wood–polymer composite (WPC) have eme...

This study systematically reviews the application of virtual reality (VR) in building evacuation scenarios in disaster contexts, highlighting its transformative potential to enhance preparedness, evacuation strategies, and safety training. Disasters...

Electric power transmission lines both cause and are impacted by wildfires and fuel breaks are crucial to mitigate wildfire hazard along and in conjunction with these infrastructures. Information about fuel dynamics is crucial for planning and mainta...

In crude oil storage tank fires, large amounts of firefighting water are used, which may trigger boilover. Variations in oil level affect ullage height, while firefighting water injection alters the water layer thickness, with both processes influenc...

This study analyzes the implementation of firefighting procedures and evacuation methods in a hospital environment, with a focus on ensuring rapid rescue operations and evacuation methods in a real fire in 2024. This research emphasizes the integrati...

The microwave chemical looping synergistic gasification characteristics of municipal solid waste polypropylene plastic and the organic solid waste water hyacinth are experimentally investigated in this study. In addition, the characterizations of oxy...

This study presents an experimental investigation into the effects of fire size on burning characteristics within well-confined military vehicle engine compartments. The research evaluates burning duration, self-extinguishing phenomena, heat release...
