Handbook on Solar Wind: Effects, Dynamics and Interactions
Nova Science Publishers, New York, 2009.
Book description. The solar wind is a stream of charged particles —a plasma—ejected from the upper atmosphere of the sun. It consists mostly of electrons and protons with energies of about 1 keV. These particles are able to escape the sun's gravity, in part because of the high temperature of the corona, but also because of high kinetic energy that particles gain through a process that is not well-understood at this time. The solar wind creates the Heliosphere, a vast bubble in the interstellar medium surrounding the solar system. Other phenomena include geomagnetic storms that can knock out power grids on Earth, the aurorae such as the Northern Lights, and the plasma tails of comets that always point away from the sun. This new book presents the latest research in the world on this topic.
Chapter 1 On the Relationship between Solar Activity and Forest Fire
(Joao Fernando Pereira Gomes, Chemical Engineering Dept., IBB-IST-Instituto Superior Tecnico, Lisboa, Portugal and Chemical Engineering Dept., ISEL - Instituto Superior de Engenharia de Lisboa, Lisboa, Portugal, Milan Radovanovic, Geographical Institute "Jovan Cvijic", Serbian Academy of Sciences and Arts - SANU, Belgrade, Serbia, Vladan Ducic, Milan Milenkovic and Milan Stevancevic)
Editors: Eduards Gomez, Kristina Alvarez
Forest Fires: Detection, Suppression and Prevention
Nova Science Publishers, New York, 2009.
Book description. A forest fire is any uncontrolled, non-structure fire that occurs in the wilderness. Wildlife behavior is often complex and variably dependent on factors such as fuel type, moisture content in the fuel, humidity, windspeed, topology, geographic location and ambient temperature. Weather patterns, such as heat waves droughts can also have a dramatic impact on the onset and outcome of wildfires. Fire is sometimes essential for forest regeneration, however, it often destroys forests and has dire social and economic consequences. This book looks at the underlying causes of forest fires, their ecological effects and preventive strategies.
Chapter 3 Wildfire in Deliblatska Pescara (Serbia) – Case Analysis on July 24th 2007
(Joao Fernando Pereira Gomes, Milan Radovanovic, Vladan Ducic, Milan Milenkovic, Milan Stevancevic, Centre for Biological and Chemical Engineering/IBB-Institute for Biotechnology and Bioengineering, Chemical Engineering Department, IST- Instituto Superior Técnico, Portugal, and others) (pp. 89-140)
