The Numerical modeling of burning particles, initiated from a heavily aluminized High Explosive (HE) is being investigated. Reactive multiphase flows must be modeled to properly account for variable-size aluminum particles burning behind the blast wave. The governing equations also include models for solid evaporation and chemical reactions. The final paper will present comparison of experiment...

Burning mouth syndrome is characterised by chronic orofacial burning pain. No dental or medical cause has been found. We present a case of burning mouth syndrome of 6 months duration in a healthy 65-year-old woman, which was associated with high copy numbers of herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) DNA in the saliva. Her pain resolved completely after antiviral treatment with a corresponding abse...

Particle number concentrations and size distributions have been monitored in the kitchen during candle burning and smoking a cigarette with a Scanning Mobility Particle Sizer. Burning a candle produces particles in size range of 6–15 nm, whereas during smoking a cigarette, larger particles are formed in size range of 40–150 nm. Total concentration of particles increased up to 1,341,000 and 423,...

The rotation rates of six weakly-magnetic neutron stars accreting in low-mass X-ray binaries have most likely been measured by Type I X-ray burst observations with the Rossi X-Ray Timing Explorer Proportional Counter Array. The phenomenology of the nearly coherent oscillations detected during the few seconds of thermonuclear burning is most simply understood as rotational modulation of brightne...

In the Kansas Flint Hills, grassland burning is conducted during a relatively narrow window because management recommendations for the past 40 years have been to burn only in late spring. Widespread prescribed burning within this restricted time frame frequently creates smoke management issues downwind. A potential remedy for the concentrated smoke production in late spring is to expand burning...

inhibitory effect of double-base solid propellants is exerted to control and prevent the burning degree of the exposed area which is due to longer burning time. in this research a composite inhibitor based on cotton fibers/epoxy resin was manufactured by filament winding technique. some flame retardant materials such as antimony trioxide and tetrachlorophthalic anhydride were employed as the co...

In dry grasslands, dangerous wildfires are of particular concern during hot, dry seasons in regions encountering high winds. It is possible that such winds can cause power cables to come close enough together to arc or collide with trees, and produce metal sparks or burning embers which can be carried by the wind and land in adjacent areas of dry vegetation. A major issue is whether or not such...

Characterization of biomass burning from space has been the subject of an extensive body of literature published over the last few decades. Given the importance of this topic, we review how satellite observations contribute toward improving the representation of biomass burning quantitatively in climate and air-quality modeling and assessment. Satellite observations related to biomass burning m...
