Background: Fire and explosion hazards are extremely important in processing units. This study was performed to identify the risk centers, the potential damage caused by fire and explosion, and the days of production cessation in the processing company. Materials and Methods: The present qualitative case study was conducted using Dow’s index in 2015. The fire and explosion hazard index...

moderate resolution imaging spectroradiometer (modis) have been widely used for active fire detection in the world as the specific channels used for the fire detection have made the modis images applicable. the main objective was to explore the capability of modis images for active fire detection in the zagross forests using the modis contextual algorithm. the study was performed in the marivan...

BACKGROUND A study of the impacts on respiratory health of the 2007 wildland fires in and around San Diego County, California is presented. This study helps to address the impact of fire emissions on human health by modeling the exposure potential of proximate populations to atmospheric particulate matter (PM) from vegetation fires. Currently, there is no standard methodology to model and forec...

Abstract There is major fire safety concern about failure propagation of thermal runaway in multicell lithium-ion batteries. This article overviews the passive fire-protection approach based on insulation by intumescent coating materials and blankets for viable resistance. The will expand (up to 100× heating) form a thick, porous char layer act as barrier insulate substrate. It also used seal a...

Across the globe, aircraft that apply water and suppressants during active wildfires play key roles in wildfire suppression, these suppression resources can be highly effective. In United States, US Department of Agriculture Forest Service (USFS) account for a substantial portion firefighting expense higher fatality rates compared to ground resources. Existing risk management practices are fund...

1. introduction extensive fires in the forests are examples of natural crises (hosseinali, 2005) and forest fire events are increasing in the conditions of changing climate and global warming; (azizi and yousefi, 2005). this phenomenon is considered one of the most destructive factors for forest ecosystems, causing irreparable damages (marozas et al, 2007). some of these damages include land us...

I. INTRODUCTION The goal of our work is to explore research in the framework of an end-to-end speech processing system that can automatically process human conversations to create situational awareness during crisis response. Situational awareness refers to knowledge about the unfolding crisis event, the needs, the resources, and the context. Accurate assessment of the situation is vital to ena...

the purpose of this study was to compare symptoms of ptsd among war affected people and employees in the fire station. totally, 60 people affected by war and 60 fire workers were selected using simple random sampling. by completing pcl inventory, samples of ptsd were characterized. data was analysed through spss software by independent t-test. as the results showed, severity of ptsd symptoms am...
