We study the adsorption behaviors of dodecahydroxylated-fullerene C60(OH)12 at the air-water interface. With the hydrophilicity imposed by the 12 hydroxy groups
I want to express some reservations concerning the revision to NFPA 72 Appendix B that is being considered based on an article by Christopher E. Marrion in Fire
Computer fire models for simulating compartment fire environments typically require a mathematical formulation that couples the thermal response of the gases
Results from computations of low strain rate, partially premixed methane/air counterflow flames are reported. The Oppdif computer code was used with GRI-Mech 2
This paper is one of a series on brand lofting and propagation. Here, spherical brand propagation in a constant ambient wind is addressed. Maximum propagation
This experimental study was performed to determine the effects of wood pyrolyzing in a high-temperature, vitiated compartment upper layer on the environment
Within the framework of HAZARD I, fire egress analysis is performed using the EXITT program. Yet another way to analyze fire egress employs newly developed
The "Refrigerants for the 21st Century" conferece was the third refrigerants conference jointly organized by the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and
An analytical approach is described for performing seismic evaluation of welded steel moment frame buildings constructed prior to the 1994 Northridge earthquake
Well-known experiments have established two basic features of auditory nerve fiber dynamics. First, harmonic excitation with constant amplitude produces mean
Identifying environmentally and economically balanced building products is no easy task. The National Institute of Standards and Technology Green Buildings

Additives that increase the amount of charcoal-like residue of carbonaceous char that forms during polymer combustion are very effective fire retardants
We study the issue of whether the wind load factors specified in the ASCE 7-95 Standard for hurricane-prone regions on the one hand and extratropical storm
A three-dimensional, large eddy simulation (LES) model developed for studying the transport of smoke and hot gases during afire in an enclosure is described

An analysis of the single-fiber fragmentation test was investigated. An approximate solution for the stress fields of a fiber embedded in a polymer matrix of
"Building on Sinkholes" is written for engineers and geologists, in addition to other professionals who work together to solve sinkhole problems. The book
This paper reports recent progress in the development of a generic molecular dynamics model that accounts for the major chemical reactions involved in the
Intelligent buildings require integration of a variety of computer-based automation and control system products that are usually made by different manufacturers
Two analytical results are presented that are of use to concrete material technologists. Using a model of concrete in which the aggregates are spherical, but
