Inherent flammability parameters—Room corner test application

Mulch Flammability

Introduction Regardless of how horrible and devastating wildland fires are portrayed by the media, they are a natural disturbance that many native ecosystems depend on for regeneration. As the population of the United States increases, more individuals are building their homes in wildlands rather than urban landscapes. Homes built in undeveloped wildland vegetation create areas often referred t...

Morphological Corner Detection. Application to Camera Calibration

In this paper we study the application of the Affine Morphological Scale Space (AMSS) to corner detection with subpixel precision. Corner detection techniques are in general very sensitive to noise, so some kind of filtering is usually needed to remove noise before estimating the corner location, however, the filtering procedure changes the location of the corner, so the filtering introduce err...

Flammability as a biological concept.

Studies examining plant flammability descriptors as fire-adaptive traits (e.g., Schwilk, 2003; Scarff & Westoby, 2006; Cowan & Ackerly, 2010; Saura-Mas et al., 2010; Pausas et al., 2012) are normally formulated within the framework of inclusive fitness theory. In such framework, flammabilityenhancing traits are considered to favour individuals if the elevated flammability confers fitness benefi...
