Particle mass and number measurements in a church indicate significant increases of indoor particle concentrations during the burning of incense. Generally, varying concentration regimes can be attributed to different "modes of indoor activity" and emission sources. While periods of candle burning are negligible concerning particle concentrations, increases by a factor of 6.9 and 9.1 during inc...

Experimental investigations of burning characteristics a tested specimen consisting polyethylene foam soaked in 100 wt% hydrogen peroxide are made. All experiments carried out large volume chamber, which newly introduced our previous work at an initial pressure range from p = 0.1 to 0.35 MPa absolute with various fuel porosity ε 0.6 0.9, corresponds global equivalence ratios φ 0.51 3.8. Tempera...

In thermonuclear supernovae, intermediate mass elements are mostly produced by distributed burning provided that a deflagration to detonation transition does not set in. Apart from the two-dimensional study by Röpke & Hillebrandt (2005), very little attention has been payed so far to the correct treatment of this burning regime in numerical simulations. In this article, the physics of distribut...

A paucity of literature exists on risk factors for mortality in charcoal burning suicide. In this observational study, we analyzed the data of 126 patients with charcoal burning suicide that seen between 2002 and 2013. Patients were grouped according to status of renal damage as acute kidney injury (N = 49) or non-acute kidney injury (N = 77). It was found that patients with acute kidney injury...

The nature of carbon burning flames in Type Ia supernovae is explored as they interact with Kolmogorov turbulence. One-dimensional calculations using the Linear Eddy Model of Kerstein (1991) elucidate three regimes of turbulent burning. In the simplest case, large scale turbulence folds and deforms thin laminar flamelets to produce a flame brush with a total burning rate given approximately by ...

Traditional perception of how tallgrass prairie responds to fire at times other than late spring is either anecdotal or extrapolated from studies that lack spatial or temporal variability. Therefore, we evaluated patterns of change in vegetation cover, species richness, diversity, and aboveground biomass production on 2 different topographic positions from ungrazed watersheds that were burned a...

[1] During the past 15 years the annual growth rate of tropospheric methane (CH4) has shown striking changes over 2–3 year periods, varying from +1% yr 1 to slightly negative values ( 0.2% yr ). These fluctuations are superimposed on an overall slowdown of the CH4 growth rate since the 1980s. Here we use our complementary measurement of other compounds (ethane, tetrachloroethene) to confirm the...

Sir, The burning mouth syndrome (BMS) is a rather frequent chronic disorder mainly affecting post-menopausal women. It is defined as a burning pain of the oral cavity in the absence of mucosal lesions (1). Based on the daily variation of the pain, three clinical subtypes can be identified. Type 1 BMS is characterized by pain-free awakening with symptoms developing during the day. In type 2, pai...

We analysed Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer observations of the accretion-powered 401 Hz pulsar SAX J1808.4−3658, in order to precisely determine the source distance. While the fluences for the five transient outbursts observed from 1996 were constant to within the uncertainties, the outburst interval varied signficantly, so that the time-averaged flux (and accretion rate) decreased by around 40%. ...

The primary objective of this study was to examine the relationship of the "fat burning" and aerobic zones. Subjects consisted of 36 relatively fit runners (20 male, 16 female) who completed a maximal exercise test to exhaustion on a motor-driven treadmill. The lower and upper limit of the "fat burning" zone was visually assessed by examining each individual graph. Maximal fat oxidation (MFO) w...
