A daunting mine disaster took place in 13 May 2014 at Soma and 301 men lost their lives. Brief information about the Eynez coal mine and some of the inherent characteristics of the field in terms of their effects on mining are presented. This paper basically concentrates on the factors that played an important role in the occurrence of this disaster. Progress of mine fire, firefighting, and res...

Epoxy resins possess poor flame retardancy and have difficulty in both recycling reprocess ability which largely limit their application. Herein, two vanillin-based epoxy monomers, shorted as VAD-EP VDP-EP, containing imine bonds inherently fire retarding phosphorus elements, were synthesized via situ condensation reaction with DDM addition DOPO, followed by the epoxidation epichlorohydrin. vit...

In recent decades, tremendous success has been achieved in the advancement of chemical admixtures for Portland cement concrete. Most efforts have concentrated on improving properties concrete and studying factors that influence these properties. Since compressive strength is considered a valuable property invariably vital element structural design, especially high early development which can be...

Wildfires affecting forest ecosystems and post-fire silvicultural treatments may cause considerable changes in soil properties. The capacity of different microbial groups to recolonise soil after disturbances is crucial for proper soil functioning. The aim of this work was to investigate some microbial soil properties and enzyme activities in semiarid and dry Aleppo pine (Pinus halepensis M.) f...

dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) and DHEA sulfate (DHEASS) (adrenopause). Hence, there have been several reports of hormone replacement therapy (HRT) to delay or prevent some of the consequences of aging. However, HRT is not without sideeffects. We should use “aging” synonymously with “senescence” rather than merely to describe the actual age of the person.2 The desire for ageless bodies covers th...

Accurate, spatially explicit information about forest canopy fuel properties is essential for ecosystem management strategies for reducing the severity of forest fires. Airborne LiDAR technology has demonstrated its ability to accurately map canopy fuels. However, its geographical and temporal coverage is limited, thus making it difficult to characterize fuel properties over large regions befor...

We study the problem of allocating multiple resources to agents with heterogeneous demands. Technological advances such as cloud computing and data centers provide a new impetus for investigating this problem under the assumption that agents demand the resources in fixed proportions, known in economics as Leontief preferences. In a recent paper, Ghodsi et al. [2011] introduced the dominant reso...

Fire and rescue service is one of the fundamental public services provided by government in order to protect people, properties and environment from fires and other disasters, and thus promote a safer living environment. Well understanding spatial-temporal dynamics of fire incidents can offer insights for potential determinants of various fire events and enable better fire risk estimation, assi...

This paper investigates the behavior of reinforced concrete continuous flat slabs after exposure to fire through experimental and theoretical analysis investigations were made. In the experimental part a series of tests carried out, to evaluate the effect of fire on the mechanical properties of concrete including a number of cubs and cylinders. Indirect fire exposure experiments are performed i...
