DYNAMIC CHARACTERISTIC ANALYSIS AND DESIGN IMPROVEMENTS OF FIRE TRUCKS LUFFING SYSTEM by WU XiaoQiang, ZHANG ChunYou

“…Luffing system is an important part of fire ladder trucks,and plays a decisive role on the working stability.Aiming at the existing problems of fire ladder trucks in luffing conditions,researched on the dynamic characteristics of the main balancing valve,and drew the conclusion that balancing valve is the main cause of hydraulic fluctuations in luffing process,based on this,used AMESim to optimize the design of the structure of the balancing valve,selected the appropriate size of the orifice diameter. …”

Prescribed Fire as a Tool for Controlling Tick Populations in the Southeastern United States by Jennifer M. Fill, Hope M. Miller, Raelene Crandall

“… There is an increase in reported tick-borne illnesses as the tick geographic range expands past historical boundaries. Prescribed fires, ignited intentionally for specific management goals, can indirectly affect tick abundance by disrupting tick predator and prey interactions and altering suitable tick habitat. …”

Two-Dimensional Modeling of Thermomechanical Responses of Rectangular GFRP Profiles Exposed to Fire by Lingfeng Zhang, Weiqing Liu, Guoqing Sun, Lu Wang, Lingzhi Li

“…To address this issue, a two-dimensional (2D) thermomechanical model was developed to predict the thermal and mechanical responses of rectangular GFRP tubes subjected to one-side ISO-834 fire exposure in this paper. The 2D governing heat transfer equations with thermal boundary conditions, discretized by alternating direction implicit (ADI) method, were solved by Gauss-Seidel iterative approach. …”

Investigation of factors that affect post-fire recovery of photosynthetic activity at global scale by Yicheng Shen, I. Colin Prentice, Sandy P. Harrison

“…There is an additional impact of vegetation type (biome), which may reflect differences in plant adaptations to fire between biomes. We show that there is a clear relationship between the proportion of plants that resprout after fire in a biome and recovery time, with ecosystems characterised by higher abundance recovering faster.…”
