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 ...

Spontaneous ecological recovery of vegetation in a red gypsum landfill: Betula pendula dominates after 10 years of inactivity

François Gillet

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 ...

Development of an effective cell seeding technique: simulation, implementation and analysis of contributing factors

Dominique Pioletti, Lee Ann Laurent-Applegate, 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 ...

A review of the fire behaviour of pultruded GFRP structural profiles for civil engineering applications

Thomas Keller, Yu Bai

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 ...

Fire 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 ...

On the Firing Rate Dependency of the Phase Response Curve of Rat Purkinje Neurons In Vitro

Michele Giugliano

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 ...

Exploring potential drivers of European biomass burning over the Holocene: a data-model analysis

Jed Oliver Kaplan

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 ...

A 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 ...

Predictability of biomass burning in response to climate changes

Basil Andrew Stansfield Davis, Yi Zhang, Christopher Michael Long

Climate is an important control on biomass burning, but the sensitivity of fire to changes in temperature and moisture balance has not been quantified. We analyze sedimentary charcoal records to show that the changes in fire regime over the past 21,000 yrs ...

Improved Similarity Measures for Small Sets of Spike Trains

Wulfram Gerstner, Richard Naud, Skander Mensi, Joao Emanuel Felipe Gerhard

Multiple measures have been developed to quantify the similarity between two spike trains. These measures have been used for the quantification of the mismatch between neuron models and experiments as well as for the classification of neuronal responses in ...
