British researchers have shown already that tobacco plants engineered to express more SBPASE grew 10%larger in a glasshouse.
#Student in Kenya Invents Solar Powered Forest fire Detector Kenya Forest Services workers use branches to put out a fire at Karura forest in Nairobi.
A Kenyan student has invented a device to automatically detect forest fire outbreaks. The technology, produced by Pascal Katana, a 24-year-old University of Nairobi engineering student,
which suffered widespread forest fires last year as a result of prolonged drought. oe2009 was the worst period for us in terms of fire outbreaks
what we in terms of technology and equipment to fight forest fires, he said. Fires in Kenya last year destroyed 11,370 hectares of bush and forest land.
Noor called the new fire reporting device a potentially useful part of Kenyas effort to keep forest fires in check. oethis is an interesting invention
which the government should support given the damage forest fires do to our ecosystems, he said.
#Proposal to Eliminate Forest fires Completely Futurist Thomas Frey: Over the past few days I ve been listening to news reports about the devastating fires burning in Colorado.
Drones specifically designed for extinguishing forest fires have the potential to eliminate virtually 100%of the devastating fires that blanket newspaper headlines every summer.
Naturally there s a downside to eliminating forest fires altogether so how should we proceed? The True Cost of Forest fires In 2012 the U s. Forest Service had a budget of $948 million for fire suppression, a decrease of nearly $500 million from 2011.
In the U s.,wildfires burned an average of 6. 9 million acres per year from 2002-2011,
A 2010 report titled#oethe True Cost of Wildfire in the Western U s.#published by the Western Forestry Leadership Coalition challenged traditional methods for calculating the cost of forest fires.
I can only assume today s technology is hundreds of times more precise than anything we were working with back then. 2007 NASA image of forest fires in California The above photo was infrared taken with thermal imaging sensors on NASA s Ikhana unmanned research
That same technology could be adjusted to detect forest fires at a very early stage. Thermal image of Boston Bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev hiding in a boat Massachusetts State Police released video taken of Boston bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev s
which have established proof of principal of the technology in the laboratory growth rooms and glasshouses.
students in the MAE department to do the kind of basic forest fire combustion research that can move our predictive ability from the experiential realm to scientific mathematical models and longer-range computational predictions.
