ANALYTICAL EVALUATION OF THE EFFECTIVENESS OF EXTINGUISHING FIRES OF SOLID COMBUSTIBLE SUBSTANCES AND MATERIALS WITH SPECIAL GAS EXTINGUISHING AGENTS

Background.The work is devoted to the problem of evaluating the effectiveness of extinguishing open fires of solid combustible substances and materials, as well as internal (closed) fires (if it is impossible to ensure the sealing of the protected volume) by gas fire extinguishing installations when using gas extinguishing agents with special physi

Jumping in planthopper and froghopper insects is propelled by a catapult-like mechanism requiring mechanical storage of energy and its quick release to accelerate the hind legs rapidly.To understand the functional biomechanics involved in these challenging movements, the internal pH Test Strips/Labels skeleton, tendons and muscles involved were rec

Abstract Purpose: To assess the autofluorescence size and properties of pterygium and pinguecula by anterior segment autofluorescence (AS-AF) imaging and demonstrate the difference of autofluorescence size presented in AS-AF imaging compared to the extend size of the conjunctival lesion measured by anterior segment slit-lamp photography (AS-SLE).Me

Abstract Background Italian ryegrass is a temperate climate crop, which is widely cultivated in the winter fallow paddy fields of subtropical China.The utilization efficiency of Italian ryegrass depends greatly on its growth stage at harvest.Previous studies have reported the optimum stage for harvesting various forage to balance their quality and

Scotland has thus far proved immune to the appeal of right-wing populism present in many European neoliberal democracies.This paper argues that changing tension balances in the crises facing the UK as a union state Table Clock (Set of 2) cannot be reduced to an understanding of the supposedly internal challenge of Scottish sub-state nationalism.Ins
