FIRE PROPAGATION VISUALIZATION IN REAL TIME

Fire propagation visualization in real time

Our motivation comes from the need of a tailored computational tool for simulation and prediction of forest fire propagation, to be used by firefighters in Patagonia, Argentina.Based on previous works on Graphic Processing Units (GPU) for fitting and simulating fires in our region, we developed a visualization interface for real time computing, sim

Climate change, pollution, and mental health: concerns on rising temperatures and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon risks

Abstract The rising global temperatures due to climate change have a profound impact on global health.Heat is associated with many physical and mental health conditions.The impact of heat on health could be exacerbated in polluted areas due to the combined impact of pollutants and heat stress.Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are among enviro

Synovial Fibroblast Sialylation Regulates Cell Migration and Activation of Inflammatory Pathways in Arthritogenesis

Synovial fibroblasts have emerged as critical underlying factors to perpetuate chronic joint inflammation in Rheumatoid Arthritis.Like any other cell, synovial fibroblasts are covered with a complex layer of glycans that can change in response to extracellular signals, such as inflammation.We have previously shown that inflammatory synovial fibrobl
