The term ' burnt-out' is used of that stage of leprosy when it is supposed that the causative organism has died out after a longer or shorter period, either naturally or as a result of some effective treatment. Leprosy in this stage leaves as sequelae of its attack marked atrophies, contractures, trophic ulcers and mutilations. Though it is supposed that the causative factor of leprosy, the Mic...

This paper presents the results of the research project BurnCase in the field of realistic and anatomically correct deformations of 3D models of the human body. The project goal is to develop a software system named BurnCase 3D, which supports and enhances the documentation and diagnosis of human burn injuries. The medical treatment of burn victims strongly depends on size, depth, degree and lo...

• The paper provides a northern Australia savanna case study for assessing: first, differences (and similarities) between fire regimes operating under pre-contact traditional Aboriginal custodianship, and today under contemporary patterns of savanna landuse; and second, implications of such change(s) for biodiversity and ecological processes in northern Australia. • Ethnographic, historical and...

Climate change and land use change are two major elements of human-induced global environmental change. In temperate grasslands and woodlands, increasing frequency of extreme weather events like droughts and increasing severity of wildfires has altered the structure and dynamics of vegetation. In this paper, we studied the impact of wildfires and the year-to-year differences in precipitation on...

We study critical points of a one-parameter family functionals arising in combustion models. The problems we consider converge, for infinitesimal values the parameter, to Bernoulli's free boundary problem, also known as one-phase problem. prove C1,α estimates “interfaces” (level sets separating burnt and unburnt regions). As byproduct, obtain one-dimensional symmetry minimizers whole RN, N≤4, a...

The Australian 2019–2020 wildfires impacted the subtropical rainforest with a variety of burn severities, making them vulnerable to another burn. Rainforest post-fire regenerated vegetation could be highly flammable, containing fire-promoting species such as Lantana camara and fire-suppressing Phytolacca octandra. This study investigated whether early regeneration may make rainforests more flam...

Insects found associated with corpse can be used as one of the indicators in estimating postmortem interval (PMI). The objective of this study was to compare the stages of decomposition and faunal succession between a partially burnt pig (Sus scrofa Linnaeus) and natural pig (as control). The burning simulated a real crime whereby the victim was burnt by murderer. Two young pigs weighed approxi...
