From One Strand Dyed/Undyed Hair With/Without Root to Fast and Successful STR Profiling and Evaluation With Principle Component Analysis

ELECTROPHORESIS, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Fallen/shed single hair shafts with/without roots can be encountered as evidence in crime scenes. Identification from hair exhibits serious difficulties, due to the low amount of DNA, PCR inhibitors, and the existence of DNA mostly in degraded forms. Exposure of hair to chemical oxidation, sunlight, etc.

Influence of Sidewall Effects on Ejected Flame During Facade Calibration Tests: Experimental Analysis and Findings

Fire and Materials, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The inclusion of sidewalls is a typical architectural feature in building façades, which has raised significant concerns about their potential to accelerate flame spread, particularly with the increasing prevalence of high‐rise buildings. This paper presents an experimental investigation and analysis of façade flame with a single sidewall ...

Performance‐Based Approach for Classifying the Degree of Combustibility of Building Products

Fire and Materials, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Managing fire behaviour of building products is crucial to provide fire safety. In North America, the classification of building products according to their fire risk is based on a binary system, with products designated as either noncombustible or combustible through a vertical tube furnace test.

Fire Testing as a Tool in Fire Safety Engineering: A Norwegian Perspective

Fire and Materials, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Fire testing has long been used to assess the performance of building products and construction materials under fire exposure. In addition to the widespread use of standard tests for fire safety certification, the application of non‐standard and customized fire tests has received attention.

Physical Changes and Performance at High Temperatures of Cement‐Slag Blended Concretes

Fire and Materials, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study investigates the physical transformations and assesses the performance of blended‐cement concretes exposed to temperatures ranging from ambient to 800°C. Three different grades of cement: 32.5, 42.5, and 52.5, with various contents of ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBFS), were employed in this research.

Altitude Effects on Ejected Flames in Façade Calibration Tests: Experimental and Numerical Investigation

Fire and Materials, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Ejected flames from a compartment opening pose a significant fire hazard to building fire safety, serving as a trigger of rapid façade flame spread. Although extensively studied under standard altitude conditions, their fire behavior under subatmospheric pressure remains to be further explored.
