Large-scale fiber release and equipment exposure experiments [PDF]

, 1980
Outdoor tests were conducted to determine the amount of fiber released in a full scale fire and trace its dissemination away from the fire. Equipment vulnerability to fire released fibers was assessed through shock tests.

Conceptualizing the adventure-sports coach [PDF]

, 2011
As a comparatively recent development, the adventure-sports coach struggles for a clear and distinct identity. The generic term ‘instructor’ no longer characterizes the role and function of this subgroup of outdoor professionals.

Char Layer Thickness Evolution During Structural Timber Fire Experiment and Final Density Profile

Fire and Materials, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper evaluates several non‐destructive experimental methods for determining the char layer thickness and its density profile in structural timber samples exposed to standard ISO 834 fire curve experiments. Microwave echo pulse, ultrasonic echo pulse, X‐ray computed tomography, and resistance drilling were evaluated.

Using a miniaturized double-net trap (DN-Mini) to assess relationships between indoor–outdoor biting preferences and physiological ages of two malaria vectors, Anopheles arabiensis and Anopheles funestus

Malaria Journal, 2019
Background Effective malaria surveillance requires detailed assessments of mosquitoes biting indoors, where interventions such as insecticide-treated nets work best, and outdoors, where other interventions may be required.

Initial comparisons of solar collector performance data obtained out-of doors and with a solar simulator [PDF]

A facility was constructed to evaluate solar collector performance outdoors for conditions that would be encountered by collectors if they were incorporated in a solar heating/cooling system.

Monitoring charged particles in indoor air using a neutral cluster and air ion spectrometer [PDF]

, 2012
While there are sources of ions both outdoors and indoors, ventilation systems can introduce as well as remove ions from the air. As a result, indoor ion concentrations are not directly related to air exchange rates in buildings.

Deuteration‐functionalized self‐assembled monolayers for UV‐durable perovskite solar cells

InfoMat, EarlyView.
Modification with deuterophenyl groups has been demonstrated to be an effective strategy for the construction of SAMs. The impressive PCE of 26.34% is by far one of the highest values for PSCs with the carbazole‐based SAMs as HTLs. This UV resistance performance represents the highest level of performance reported to date for PSCs using SAMs as HTLs ...
