For this paper, the authors studied behavior of castor oil, when it accidentally reaches a hot surface. Thus, lowest temperature at which oil ignited least once in three tests and highest did not ignite were determined. To determine as accurately possible these two temperatures, total 29 performed. The procedure complies with ISO 20823:2018 Petroleum related products -Determination flammability...

Wildfire risks for California under four climatic change scenarios were statistically modeled as functions of climate, hydrology, and topography. Wildfire risks for the GFDL and PCM global climate models and the A2 and B1 emissions scenarios were compared for 2005–2034, 2035–2064, and 2070–2099 against a modeled 1961–1990 reference period in California and neighboring states. Outcomes for the G...
