This work addresses the effect of wildland fuel moisture content on flame radiation. A wildland fuel layer composed of Pinus radiata needles was experimentally studied using a specially designed burner, which produced small ...

Fire has played an important role in the plant dynamics and diversity of the Cerrado for millions of years. We evaluated fire behaviour in different fire seasons in areas of an open savanna, providing information for fire ...

A photothermal chamber with a transparent transducer and a 1450 nm laser were used to measure the water content of hydrated ethanol biofuel. The values of water content in the fuel samples assessed using the photothermal ...

Aim: An emerging framework for tropical ecosystems states that fire activity is either “fuel build-up limited” or “fuel moisture limited”, that is, as you move up along rainfall gradients, the major control on fire occurrence ...

In this paper we describe the electrosynthesis of poly[(2-bromo-5-hexyloxy- 1,4-phenylenevinylene)-co-(1,4-phenylenevinylene)] (BHPPV-co-PPV), a novel conducting copolymer, and its application as active layer of a ...
