Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleHands-On Fire Extinguisher Training Apparatuses: Expert Evaluations of Two Propane Fire Simulators and Air-Pressurized Water ExtinguishersAwwad Dababneh, Abdul Jaleel Hamad Majeed, Rami H. FouadTwenty-two expert firefighting professionals were used in evaluating four methods for fire extinguisher hands-on training. Two different fire simulators were put into service along with two conditions for the fighting distance; keeping a distance of 2.44 m (8ft.) away from the base of the fire and having no restriction on getting closer to the fire. The fire simulators both utilized … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 3 · 27 Jul 2017 · 7,663 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleFire Design: Direct Comparison Between Fire Curves. The Case Study of a NurseryMara Lombardi, Giuliano Rossi, Nicolò Sciarretta, Nino OrangesAccording to fire safety engineering, the present study analyzes fire design settings for simulation of fire in a nursery and proposes to compare simulations developed with a natural fire curve and nominal fire curve.

Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleModeling Fire Evacuation of a Library Building based on the Numerical SimulationWithayavuth Jirasingha, Supat PatvichaichodProblem statement: This study investigates the fire evacuation problem of the library building by using the Fire Dynamics Simulator with Evacuation (FDS+Evac.) programming. Approach: The assumption is made that the sprinkler system is installed in the building but the system is malfunction, which is considered as the worst case of the situation. The simulations are divided into 4 cases, which … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 5 · 17 May 2011 · 7,582 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleActive Fire Monitoring with Level 1.5 MSG Satellite ImagesAbdelatif Hassini, Farid Benabdelouahed, Noureddine Benabadji, Ahmed Hafid BelbachirThe first of the new generation of Meteosat satellites, known as Meteosat Second Generation (MSG-1), was launched in August 2002. As with the current Meteosat series, MSG is spin-stabilized and capable of greatly enhanced Earth observations. The satellite’s 12-channel imager, known formally as the Spinning Enhanced Visible and Infrared Imager (SEVIRI), observes the full disk of the Earth with an … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2009 · 8,132 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleOptimized Wireless Sensor Network Clustering Using a Hybrid Firefly–Bat Algorithm (HFBA)J. Jegan, Senthil kumar P, S. Saravanakumar et al.Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) are composed of numerous sensor nodes that collaborate to observe and evaluate various environmental parameters, transmitting the data to a central base station. Each node is equipped with a unique transmitter, receiver, and processor to facilitate sensing, processing, and communication. These networks are often installed in extremely remote and inaccessible areas. A significant challenge arises from … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 22, Issue 5 · 19 May 2026 · 1,441 accessesView PDFCite
