Synchronization of motor-unit firings in several human muscles

Journal of Neurophysiology, 1993
1. Synchronization of concurrently active motor-unit firings was studied in six human muscles performing isometric constant-force contractions at 30% of the maximal level. The myoelectric signal was detected with a quadrifilar needle electrode and was decomposed into its constituent motor-unit action-potential trains with the Precision Decomposition ...

The Effect of Furnace Parameters on Fire Severity in Standard Fire Resistance Tests

Fire and Materials, 1996
This paper discusses the predicted results obtained from models developed to determine the effects of furnace depth (2.5 m and 0.5 m), type of furnace lining material type (fireclay brick, insulating firebrick and ceramic fibre insulation) and type of fuel (gas or liquid) on fire severity in fire resistance test furnaces using the CAN/ULC-S101, ASTM ...

Effectiveness of sprinklers in reducing fire severity

Fire Safety Journal, 1993
Abstract The effectiveness of sprinklers is examined by comparing fires they extinguish or control with fires they fail to extinguish or control. It is shown that sprinklers substantially reduce the probability of fire area exceeding 100m2 but that they normally have little effect until the fire area reaches 3 m2.
