The Department for Communities and Local Government’s publication [79] also refers to five Single Burning Item tests (SBI) [80] on green wall systems. The tests were carried out with living walls. However, no plants were installed in these systems. All tests had to be stopped before reachi...
fire research are critical for supporting pathways towards coexistence with fire. Over the last several decades, fire researchers have proposed new research frameworks that transcend disciplinary boundaries to help enable transformative change (Carmenta et al.2011; Bowman et al.2013; Roos et al.2016;...
Article metricsAbstract Frequent building electrical fire accidents have brought great harm to life and property. In order to prevent the occurrence of accidents and reduce the losses to the greatest extent, it is necessary to take effective measures for building electrical fires. Based on the Intern...
September 2006 a workshop was organized in Atlanta by CIB W14:Fire and TG50:Tall Buildings, with one of the discussion topics devoted to this issue. This paper is intended to continue that discussion. PERFORMANCE METRICS FOR EGRESS In performance design, the usual performance metric for egress ...
performance. In the field, 100% of rat carcasses were rapidly colonized by fire ants at high abundances. In our laboratory experiment, the performance of mice-fed fire ant colonies was poor when compared to colonies that were fed mice and insects or insects only. Our results suggest that ...
Fire department personnel inspect structures to ensure conformance to codes. To strengthen compliance by owners of buildings, penalties are meted out for violations so that fire hazards are reduced. Penalties usually are in the form of fines. Codes can be in the form of fire codes and building...
3847 Accesses Metrics details Abstract Background Clinimetric data for the fire fighting simulation test (FFST), a new test proposed for the Workers' Health Surveillance (WHS) of Dutch fire fighters, were evaluated. Methods Twenty-one fire fighters took the FFST three times with one and three ...
Clustering quality metrics suggest robust performance in discovering new cell types in the testing data (Supplementary Figs. 8 and 9). Fig. 5: Benchmarking Forest Fire Clustering on PBMC data. a Ground-truth cell-surface antibody labels. b Leiden cluster labels. c Forest Fire clusters with ...

For uncommon buildings, adequate safety cannot be based on precedent and an explicit evaluation of the adequacy of proposed safety fe...
The study was conducted in the mixedEucalyptusforest landscape of East Gippsland, Victoria, Australia (Department of Agriculture and Water Resources2018). These forests occupy ~1.2 million hectares and range from dry open lowland forest along the coast into the mid-hills (5–400 m a.s.l) to...
