Fire performance evaluation of GFRP-balsa sandwich bridge decks
Bridges are a critical component of national infrastructures and economies. A significant percentage of bridges built all around the world are made of reinforced concrete which according to building codes have a life span between 80-100 years. However, str ...
EPFL2022Spontaneous ecological recovery of vegetation in a red gypsum landfill: Betula pendula dominates after 10 years of inactivity
Red gypsum is the product of the neutralization of titanium dioxide (TiO2) extraction residue from ilmenite and anatase. The disposal of red gypsum creates heterogeneous plots with layers that may include Fe, Ca, Al, Mg, Mn, S, and other elements and an al ...
ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV2019Development of an effective cell seeding technique: simulation, implementation and analysis of contributing factors
Dominique Pioletti, Naser Nasrollahzadeh Mamaghani
Cell seeding in a biomaterial is an important process for tissue engineering applications. It helps to modulate tissue formation or to control initial conditions for mechanobiological studies. The compression release-induced suction (CRIS) seeding techniqu ...
Mary Ann Liebert, Inc2017A review of the fire behaviour of pultruded GFRP structural profiles for civil engineering applications
Pultruded glass fibre reinforced polymer (GFRP) profiles are finding increasing applications in civil engineering structures, owing to the several advantages they offer over traditional materials. However, due to the combustible nature of their polymer mat ...
Elsevier2015Fire Design of Concrete Structures based on a Levels-of-Approximation Approach
Miguel Fernández Ruiz, Miguel Gomez
Concrete structures, contrary to steel or timber structures, have not been traditionally considered as significantly sensitive to fire conditions. As a consequence, their performance in fire conditions has generally been assessed on the basis of quite simp ...
fib Symposium 20152015On the Firing Rate Dependency of the Phase Response Curve of Rat Purkinje Neurons In Vitro
Synchronous spiking during cerebellar tasks has been observed across Purkinje cells: however, little is known about the intrinsic cellular mechanisms responsible for its initiation, cessation and stability. The Phase Response Curve (PRC), a simple input-ou ...
Public Library Science2015Processing of biomass-burning aerosol in the eastern Mediterranean during summertime
Athanasios Nenes, Spyros Pandis
The aerosol chemical composition in air masses affected by wildfires from the Greek islands of Chios, Euboea and Andros, the Dalmatian Coast and Sicily, during late summer of 2012 was characterized at the remote background site of Finokalia, Crete. Air mas ...
European Geosciences Union2014Exploring potential drivers of European biomass burning over the Holocene: a data-model analysis
AimTo reconstruct spatial and temporal patterns of European fire activity during the Holocene and to explore their potential drivers, by relating biomass burning to simulated biotic and abiotic parameters. LocationEurope. MethodsHolocene fire activity was ...
Wiley-Blackwell2013A model for global biomass burning in preindustrial time: LPJ-LMfire (v1.0)
Jed Oliver Kaplan, Mirjam Pfeiffer
Fire is the primary disturbance factor in many terrestrial ecosystems. Wildfire alters vegetation structure and composition, affects carbon storage and biogeochemical cycling, and results in the release of climatically relevant trace gases including CO2, C ...
Copernicus Gesellschaft Mbh2013The Spatiotemporal RDF Store Strabon
Manolis Karpathiotakis, Panagiotis Smeros, Styliani Asimina Giannakopoulou
Strabon is a very scalable and efficient RDF store for storing and querying geospatial data that changes over time. We present the geospatial and temporal features of Strabon and we demonstrate their utilization in the fire monitoring and the burn scar map ...
