The maximum temperatures of thermocouples, temperature-sensitive paints, and calorimeters
exposed to flames in wildland fires are often called “fire temperatures” but are determined …

Current operational methods for predicting tree mortality from fire injury are regression-based
models that only indirectly consider underlying causes and, thus, have limited generality. A …

Simulating an advancing fire front may be achieved within a Lagrangian or Eulerian framework.
In the former, independently moving markers are connected to form a fire front, whereas …

A cutting-edge look at the endowment model of investing Many larger endowments and
foundations have adopted a broadly diversified asset allocation strategy with only a small …

A model for fire-induced heating in tree stems is linked to a recently reported model for tissue
necrosis. The combined model produces cambial tissue necrosis predictions in a tree stem …

In earlier research, the authors found that, on both a theoretical and historical basis, the typical
diversified fund exhibits volatility characteristics that are strikingly similar to a traditional 60…

The only documentation on the building downwash algorithm in AERMOD (American
Meteorological Society/US Environmental Protection Agency Regulatory Model), referred to as …

The complexities of standard optimization can obscure the intuitive decision process that
should play a major role in asset allocation. The use of allocation alphas and betas—with US …

FireStem2D, a software tool for predicting tree stem heating and injury in forest fires, is a
physically-based, two-dimensional model of stem thermodynamics that results from heating at …

Although most bond portfolios maintain a relatively stable duration over time and are thus
implicitly or explicitly “duration targeted,” the distinctive nature of duration targeting (DT) is …
