While it is recognised that knitted fabrics may have their place in firefighting PPC, especially for undergarments, from the point of view of fire performance, strength and presentation, woven fabric constructions appear to be more suitable for work wear applications. Hence, this study is concerned with developing and testing a range of functional, woven Station Wear fabrics designed to enhance flame protection, durability and thermo-physiological comfort properties. In trying to improve all three aspects, a compromise in the properties of fabrics developed would be very likely.

This effect from climate makes it nearly impossible to segregate ignition points from locations, which were burnt several hours or even several days earlier. An increase in secondary burnt locations makes it difficult for machine learning algorithms to establish causality links with anthropogenic and other groups of variables.

The favorable localization features of discrete wavelet provide a new method for detecting the mutational points of electric spark signal. In this paper, by means of discrete wavelet function called db5, using the way of 6 scales wavelet, analyzing the gathered electric spark signal and by extracting the modulus maxima of the 6 layers detailed signal coefficient, the signal’s mutational points were located exactly and successfully.

Across the disciplines and levels of education, team projects are becoming an increasingly important tool for assessment. However, it is often difficult to make sure that work is fairly distributed, that a reasonable schedule is formed which does not leave everything for the last minute, and that individual students are fairly rewarded/penalized for their respective contributions. To solve these problems, we can model a project using events, rules, and workflows.

A high energy arcing fault event occurred in the medium-voltage (13.8 kV and 4.16 kV) metalclad switchgears in a nuclear power plant not only affecting switchgear but also connected equipment due to the arc energy. The high energy arcing fault also causes a fire that influences the safety function of the unit. Therefore, from the safety point of view, it is necessary to evaluate the influences of high energy arcing fault events on the safety functions of nuclear power plants.

A total of 28 line and 24 point-source fires were ignited under varying weather and fuel loading conditions in Anatolian black pine (Pinus nigra J.F.Arnold subsp. nigra var. caramanica (Loudon) Rehder) stands. Relationships between the rate of fire spread and fuel and weather conditions were determined with correlation and regression analyses.

As Carlo (2001) comments in a recent review, “research on cross-language transfer has made some progress with regard to the issue of identifying particular skills that appear susceptible to transfer from first- to second-language reading. However, questions remain concerning the specification of the cognitive mechanisms responsible for transfer as well as the developmental parameters that constrain transfer effects.

The discovery and utilization of fire, a simple energy source with many profound uses, was a turning point in the technological evolution of humankind.[26] The exact date of its discovery is not known; evidence of burnt animal bones at the Cradle of Humankind suggests that the domestication of fire occurred before 1,000,000 BC;[27] scholarly consensus indicates that Homo erectus had controlled fire by between 500,000 BC and 400,000 BC.

The Apple Finder Window reveals content, while leaving a clear visual path, or “breadcrumbs,” back to the original starting point. The ability to clearly see a travelled path through an interface is a vital component for a successful user experience. Designed as a single interface, and not as multiple Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) pages as with a conventional website, the timeline makes it easy for the user to see the path travelled.

In recent history, H5N1 first appeared in 1997 in Hong Kong’s wet markets (live bird markets) and chicken farms. Its spread was contained in Hong Kong at that point following the culling of all poultry in the region. In 2003 the same virus resurfaced - suggesting it had never been eradicated - and spread relentlessly across East Asia, decimating the poultry population. In 2005, an outbreak in migratory wild birds in Qinghai Lake, China killed 6000 birds (Normile 2006b).

"The fire smouldering in the forest of Europe was beginning to burst into flames. In vain did they try to put it out in one place; it only broke out in another. With gusts of smoke and a shower of sparks it swept from one point to another, burning the dry brushwood. Already in the East there were skirmishes as the prelude to the great war of the nations. All Europe, Europe that only yesterday was sceptical and apathetic, like a dead wood, was swept by the flames. All men were possessed by the desire for battle. War was ever on the point of breaking...

A Philadelphian had been talking with my mother of North and South, and had alluded to the engagement between the Essex and the Arkansas, on the Mississippi, as a brilliant victory for the Federal navy. My mother protested, at once; said that she and her sister Miriam, and several friends, had been witnesses, from the levee, to the fact that the Confederates had fired and abandoned their own ship when the machinery broke down, after two shots had been exchanged: the Federals, cautiously turning the point, had then captured but a smoking hulk.

Contracts tend to use a single earnings number that is either the reported earnings or a transformation of reported earnings. For example, private debt contracts use reported earnings with some GAAP measurement rules "undone" (e.g., equity accounting for subsidiaries -see Leftwich, 1983, p. 25). And, CEO bonus plans use earnings (or transformations of earnings such as returns on invested capital) to determine 80% of CEO bonuses (Hay, 1991; Holthausen, Larcker and Sloan, 1995).

mazon’s Kindle Fire tablet has quickly established itself as the number two player in the tablet market dominated by Apple’s iPad. Analysts and reviewers have credited the Kindle Fire for broadening the market with its low price of $199 and the portability that comes with the 7-inch size of its display -- versus the iPad’s larger 9.7-inches. But critics have also pointed to usability and performance issues that are among the topics author Peter Meyers addresses in the just-released Kindle Fire...

Using the gradient method, element concentrations within the lichen are usually observed to increase as the distance to the suspected source decreases. Gough and Erdman (1977) used linear regression to evaluate the relationship between distance from a coal fired power plant and metal levels in Xanthoparmelia chlorochroa. However, as Puckett (1988) points out, concentrations of many elements will not reach zero at large distances from pollution sources because they have essential nutritional roles or are normal components of the lichen when growing in its natural environment.

I At sunset hour the forest was still, lonely, sweet with tang of fir and spruce, blazing in gold and red and green; and the man who glided on under the great trees seemed to blend with the colors and, disappearing, to have become a part of the wild woodland. Old Baldy, highest of the White Mountains, stood up round and bare, rimmed bright gold in the last glow of the setting sun. Then, as the fire dropped behind the domed .peak, a change, a cold and darkening blight, passed down the black spear-pointed slopes over all that mountain world....

This committee is made up of building control industry vendors, BCS users, academics and government representatives. The BACnet standard has been designed specifically to meet the com- munication needs of building automation and control systems for applications such as heating, ventilation, air conditioning control, lighting control, access control, and fire detection systems.

In practice, the number of passive assets must be limited in some fashion. Our empirical design includes p passive assets, consisting of k benchmarks and m nonbenchmark assets, and the benchmarks are associated with popular asset pricing models. Suppose one admits the possibility that the benchmarks do not price the nonbenchmark assets exactly, that is ®N 6 =0.Then ±A, the intercept in (2), is a better measure of skill, in that it is de¯ned with respect to the more inclusive set of passive assets.
