چکیده
We refute Elaine Scarry’s contentions, published in the New York Review of Books in September and October 2000, that external electromagnetic fields can have been major contributors to the accidents to TWA Flight 800 and Swissair Flight 111. The refutation for TWA 800 cites NASA research done in support of the investigation. The refutation for Swissair 111 is new here.

Simulating the Swissair Flight 111 In-Flight Fire Using the CFD Fire Simulation Software SMARTFIRE
AT 8.18pm on 2 September 1998, Swissair Flight 111 (SR 111), took off from New York’s JFK airport bound for Geneva, Switzerland. Tragically, the MD-11 aircraft never arrived. According to the crash investigation report, published on 27 March 2003, electrical arcing in the ceiling void cabling was the most likely cause of the fire that brought down the aircraft. No one on board was aware of the ...

This report summarizes modeling studies supporting the second phase of quarter-scale testing for the NTSB investigation of the TWA Flight 800 accident. In this study, fuel-air tests were conducted to replicate earlier tests to assure repeatability of results. The quarter-scale test tank was redesigned to use heated Jet-A fuel/air mixtures at reduced ambient pressures. Although violent combustio...

Abstract Background and aims: Chloroform, diethyl ether and ammonia are toxic solvents wildly used in forensic labs for preparation and extraction of samples. The staffs of forensic labs experience high levels of exposure to these solvents. Serious health effects have been reported due to exposure to these solvents including hepatotoxicity, neurotoxicity, carcinogenicity and mutagenicity. Ma...
متن کاملارزیابی و کاهش تداخل الکترومغناطیسی هدایتی در مبدل سوئیچینگ نوع فوروارد
در مبدل‌های سوئیچینگ قدرت به خاطر تغییرات سریع ولتاژ و جریان، تداخل الکترومغناطیسی (EMI) ایجاد می‌شود. از جمله توپولوژیهای پرکاربرد سوئیچینگ در منابع تغذیه توان پایین و متوسط، مبدل سوئیچینگ فوروارد است که در آن نیاز به بازنشانی ترانسفورمر است. در این مقاله، برای پیش‌بینی سطح EMI هدایتی، ابتدا یک مبدل فوروارد با سیم‌پیچ بازنشاننده مدل‌سازی می‌شود. جهت ارزیابی نتایج مدل‌سازی، نتایج عملی اندازه‌گی...
