In this paper, we study a graph parameter that was recently introduced, the burning number, focusing on a few probabilistic aspects of the problem. The original burning number is revisited and analyzed for binomial random graphs G(n, p), random geometric graphs, and the Cartesian product of paths. Moreover, new variants of the burning number are introduced in which a burning sequence of vertice...

This paper is concerned with presenting methods to study transport and lifetime of both gases and particles originating from biomass burning. It is beyond doubt that biomass burning has a detrimental impact on air quality on both the smaller and larger scale, and studying the fate of biomass burning plumes can provide useful insights within this area of research. As pointed out by the authors, ...

A non-invasive technique for quantification of argon laser induced burning second pain (C-fibre) is suggested. Using frequency analysis event related responses to burning pain can be detected in the EEG interval 1-2 seconds after laser stimulation. When the laser stimulus induced a burning pain perception, the power from 0.5-2.5 Hz of the EEG interval 1-2 seconds after stimulation differed sign...

Effect of different additives like wax (polyethylene), stearic acid, calcium stearate, alum, naphthalene and camphor was studied on the burning efficiency of paraffin-candles. It was found that burning efficiency, physical strength and smoke producing capacity of candles were influenced by even adding these additives in very small quantities. Burning rates were calculated while smoke generated ...

The use of cold as a treatment is as old as the practice of medicine, dating back to Hippocrates. Today, methods of applying cold are more advanced than they were in 400 BC, but the principles and the need for precautions are the same. When you apply cold, the skin will initially feel cold, often followed by relief of pain from the injury. As icing progresses, you will feel a burning sensation,...

We have studied the sensitivity of s-process nucleosynthesis in massive stars to ±2σ variations in the rates of the triple-α and C(α, γ)O reactions. We simulated the evolution of massive stars from H-burning through Fe-core collapse, followed by a supernova explosion. We found that: the production factors of s-process nuclides between Fe and Zr change strongly with changes in the He burning rea...

Cowhage, capsaicin and histamine, all applied via spicules, were used to induce itch and pain-related sensations in 15 male and 15 female subjects. Sensory qualities were assessed by questionnaire; intensities and time courses of the "itching" and "burning" sensation were measured alternately, but continuously on a VAS. In addition, axon reflexes were assessed. Only histamine and capsaicin prod...

Agricultural burning has been subject to intense debate in Eastern Washington. Rural communities are concerned about health impacts related to smoke exposure from field burning. However, the short-duration excursions of smoke often do not violate air quality standards at locations where air quality monitors are situated. The purpose of this study was to characterize the air quality in Pullman, ...
