Thermal and Stress Analysis of Glazing Systems under Fire Conditions
The cracking and subsequent fallout of glazing could significantly affect the dynamics of fires in compartments. The sudden venting resulting from the fallout of a window glass may result in backdraft or flashover depending on the development stage of the fire. The need for research on glazing behaviour in fires was first identified by Emmons [1]. There are two main physical processes involved ...
متن کاملWhither Wildlife Without Fire?
Fire is a major ecosystem process that has been pervasive across the southern forest landscape on an evolutionary time scale (Watts and Hansen 1988). Wildlife evolved in response to frequent lightning-ignited bums that shaped the biota of the Southeast. Despite the dominant role that fire has played on an evolutionary scale, the use of prescribed fire as a forest wildlife management tool remain...
متن کاملFight fire with fire
Since our hunter–gatherer ancestors began to develop agriculture more than 10,000 years ago, farmers have been battling with Nature to protect their cultivated plants against pests and diseases. Organisms from all kingdoms of life—from mammals and insects to bacteria, fungi and viruses—are attracted by the easy pickings that large fields of plants represent, and farmers have sought to contain t...
متن کاملDoS: Fighting Fire with Fire
We consider DoS attacks on servers in which attackers’ requests are indistinguishable from legitimate requests. Most current defenses against this class of attack rely on legitimate users in aggregate having more of some resource (CPU cycles, memory cycles, human attention, etc.) than attackers. A server so defended asks prospective clients to prove their legitimacy by spending some of this res...
متن کاملFire resistance of FRP reinforced glulam beams
Thin laminates made of high-strength pultruded fiber reinforced polymers (FRP) are increasingly being used to reinforce glue-laminated timber (glulam) beams, creating a new composite glulam (FRP glulam) significantly stronger in bending than a conventional (unreinforced) glulam of equal size. Large timber members have long been recognized for maintaining structural integrity in fires and this p...
