Numerical simulation of surface forest fire in Brazilian Amazon
(2016-01-01)
This paper investigates fire spread through surface fuels of the Brazilian Amazon by using a three-dimensional, fully transient, physics-based computer simulation approach. Computer simulations are obtained through the ...
Development of a potentially functional chocolate spread containing probiotics and structured triglycerides
(2022-01-15)
New functional hazelnut and chocolate spreads, containing the probiotic strain Enterococcus faecium CRL 183 and different concentrations of medium-long-medium (MLM)-type structured triacylglycerols (TAGs) were developed. ...
A stochastic fire spread model for north Patagonia based on fire occurrence maps
(Elsevier Science, 2015-03)
Understanding fire spread in different ecosystems is of fundamental importance for conservation, management and anticipating the effects of environmental changes. Tailoring existing fire spread models to particular landscapes ...
Morphology and mechanical properties of junctions: Implications on the success of clonal spread of cacti
(Academic Press Ltd - Elsevier Science Ltd, 2016-04)
Opuntioid cacti reproduce asexually through separation and subsequent rooting of stems (cladodes in platyopuntias; joints in cylindropuntias). Consequently, the force that keeps them together must be overcome. This work ...
Using efficient parallelization in Graphic Processing Units to parameterize stochastic fire propagation models
(Elsevier, 2018-03)
Wildfires are a major concern in Argentinian northwestern Patagonia and in many ecosystems and human societies around the world. We developed an efficient cellular automata model in Graphic Processing Units (GPUs) to ...
Estimation of the surface area-to-volume ratios of litter components of the Brazilian rainforest and their impact on litter fire rate of spread and flammability
(2020-05-01)
The surface-area-to-volume ratio (SAV) is a significant parameter in vegetation description, although different researchers have presented diverging estimates for forest litter. However, considering litter as a unique ...
