Article Abstract
This study investigates the maximum temperature in tunnel fires under forced ventilation conditions by constructing a 1:10 scale experimental model and using numerical simulations. A dimensionless derivation of the maximum temperature is provided for the case where the fire source is at the end of the excavation tunnel. A correction factor for the maximum temperature prediction coefficient is suggested in situations when the fire source is situated in the center of the excavation tunnel. The results of the highest temperature in the experimental and FDS simulation results under different fire source conditions have a good fitting performance, and the correlation is 0.899 and 0.913. The effect of the forced ventilation outlet distance on maximum temperature was analyzed through wind flow and temperature field distributions. The study concludes that an optimal layout for the ventilation system is important, particularly by considering both the maximum temperature and the ventilation volume. This research addresses the gap in understanding maximum temperatures in excavation tunnel fires and offers valuable insights for fire suppression strategies, rescue operations, and the prevention of secondary disasters in such environments.

The Citrus Under Protective Screen is a novel production system implemented to grow citrus free of huanglongbing disease vectored by Asian citrus psyllid, Diaphorina citri. Other significant pests such as mites, scales, thrips, mealybugs, and leafminers, as well as parasitoids and small predators, have been identified from Citrus Under Protective Screen and require management.

Developing low-temperature gas sensors for parts per billion-level acetone detection in breath analysis remains challenging for non-invasive diabetes monitoring. We implement dual-defect engineering via one-pot synthesis of Al-doped WO nanorod arrays, establishing a W-O-Al catalytic mechanism. Al doping induces lattice strain to boost oxygen vacancy density by 31.

We have developed a new true triaxial apparatus for rock deformation, featuring six servo-controlled loading rams capable of applying maximum stresses of 220 MPa along the two horizontal axes and 400 MPa along the vertical axis to cubic rock samples of 50 mm side. Samples are introduced into a steel vessel, allowing rock specimens to be subjected to confining pressures of up to 60 MPa. Pore fluid lines connected to two pump intensifiers enable high-precision permeability measurements along all three principal stress directions.

Background: Understanding starch behavior under various processing conditions is important for the development of novel food products with tailored nutritional profiles. This study investigated changes to the structure and properties of native corn starch (NCS) and biomimetic starch-entrapped microspheres following thermal and enzymatic treatments.
Results: Heat-treated microspheres showed more birefringence and structural order than native starch, indicating incomplete gelatinization due to the alginate matrix.
