The Final Report on the collapse of the World Trade Center (WTC) Towers recommended that tall buildings be designed for timely full-building evacuations from...
The human behavior in fire field is founded by and has deep roots within the field of fire protection engineering. Extensive research and efforts have been...
The purpose of this article is to introduce a conceptual model of human behaviour in fire. This model is constructed based upon a theoretical framework of...
Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs) are three-dimensional coordination polymers that are well known for large pore surface area and their ability to adsorb...
The Net Zero Energy Residential Test Facility (NZERTF) was constructed at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) to support the development...
Indoor carbon dioxide (CO2) concentrations have played a role in discussions of ventilation & indoor air quality (IAQ) since the 18th century. Those discussions...

The channel crack and delamination phenomena that occurred during tensile tests were utilized to study surface cracking and delamination properties of a...
Superconducting electronics is an established technological field for sensors, quantum computation and quantum-based standards and is emerging as an important...
The distance over which the resolution of a microscope image changes appreciably, related to the depth of field, is an important parameter. This value...
Here we employ an analytical electron scattering model to show that the decrease in ADF t-SEM contrast of gold nanoparticles on carbon films is consistent with...

Accurate measurement of DNA repair proteins in cancer tissues is becoming more important due to the individual and origin based expression differences in cancer...
Robust geometry and tolerance representations are needed in additive manufacturing for precise part specification and interoperability with downstream...
Random numbers are essential for cryptography. In most real-world systems, these values come from a cryptographic pseudorandom number generator (PRNG), which in...
Design rules in additive manufacturing (AM) can help ensure manufacturability, which can be viewed as compatibility between designs and the fabrication...
