Fire Detection Design Based on Gas Leakage Accompanied by fire Location Point Using ESP32 Based on IoT by Nanda Wibowo, Hilman Zarory, Dian Mursyitah, Aulia Ullah

“…Type B fires are fires that occur due to the burning of fuel in the form of gas, this type of fire occurs quite often where in DKI Jakarta this type of fire occurs in up to 180 cases and one of the causes of this fire is due to LPG gas leaks then at this time the fire extinguisher fire only has 1 method to find the location of the fire, therefore in this research a tool was created that can detect gas leaks and fires which can send danger warning messages to users, namely building owners and firefighters via the telegram application, from research carried out by the tool created to successfully detect the presence of gas leaks when the PPM value of LPG gas exceeds 100 PPM as well as fires when the presence of fire is detected, the carbon dioxide value in smoke exceeds 100 PPM, and also high temperatures, the tool will identify dangerous conditions and send a danger warning message to the user along with the coordinates and Google Maps link for the location of the equipment when a fire occurs.…”

A Comparison of Physical Soil Organic Matter Fractionation Methods for Amended Soils by Sarah Duddigan, Liz J. Shaw, Paul D. Alexander, Chris D. Collins

“…Using five different physical fractionation methods, on soils either nontreated or with a history of amendment with a range of exogenous organic matter inputs (Irish moss peat; composted horse manure; garden compost) and a resulting range of carbon contents (6.8 to 22.2%), we show that method selection had a significant impact on both the total C recovered and the distribution of the recovered C between unprotected, physically protected, or chemically protected conceptual pools. …”
