Burning structures and propagation mechanisms of nanothermites by Kim, Suyong, Johns, Averitt A, Wen, John Z, Deng, Sili

“…This gap in turn hinders the optimization of nanothermite design with desirable microstructures and controllable burning properties. In this work, a high-speed microscopy imaging system was used to reveal the burning structure of Al/CuO nanothermites and to investigate the propagation mechanism of its flame front at micron and sub-millimeter scales which have not been studied. …”

Drivers of post-fire Nothofagus antarctica forest recovery in Tierra del Fuego, Argentina by Matthew Joseph Ruggirello, Gimena Bustamante, Peter Z. Fulé, Rosina Soler

“…Sapling densities were modulated by slope, time since fire, and distance to mature live trees.DiscussionDespite lower regeneration densities in recently burned plots and less live basal area and canopy cover in older burned plots compared to unburned controls, burned stands may be on a trajectory to recover pre-fire characteristics, although this recovery is spatially variable. …”

Assessment of a reconfiguration of the InterSpread Plus US national FMD model as a potential tool to analyze a foot-and-mouth disease outbreak on a single large cattle feedlot in t... by Sarah R. Mielke, Columb Rigney, Amy D. Hagerman, Timothy C. Boyer, Amy H. Delgado, Jonathan Arzt, Lindsey K. Holmstrom

“…As proof of concept we designed six scenarios: (i) depopulation - the complete depopulation of the feedlot, (ii) burn-through – a managed “burn-through” where the virus is allowed to spread through the feedlot and only movement restriction and biosecurity are implemented, (iii) firebreak-NV – targeted depopulation of infected pens and adjacent pens without vaccination; (iv) firebreak - targeted depopulation of infected pens and adjacent pens with vaccination of remaining pens; (v) harvest-NV - selective harvest of pens where a 100% movement restriction is applied for 28-30 days, then pens are set for selection to be sent to slaughter, while allowing a controlled “burn-through” without vaccination; and (vi) harvest - selective harvest of pens with vaccination.ResultsOverall, the burn-through scenario (ii) had the shortest epidemic duration (31d (30, 33)) median (25th, 75th percentiles), while the firebreak scenario (iv) had the longest (47d (38,55)). …”
