The recent World Health Organisation re-classification of formaldehyde’s carcinogenic status is reviewed and discussed together with the carcinogenesis mechanism. Information on health effects associated with exposure levels is presented and placed in the context of sampled concentrations in different types of buildings. The treatment of human health within LCA is described with the example of ...

This paper presents experimental research findings regarding the characteristics of fire safety equipment activation before and after a water-based suppression system is triggered. A group typical indoor combustible materials (wood, linoleum, cardboard, paper) were used to construct Class model fires in experiments. The three most frequent causes reproduced: careless handling (open flame), unsa...

This paper presents experimental research findings for those involved in the early phase of fire office buildings. Class A model fires with a reaction area from 5 cm2 to 300 were chosen investigation. To mock up fire, following combustible materials typical offices used: wood pieces, heat-insulated linoleum, and cardboard. The main characteristics recorded: temperature combustion zone, heat rel...

Oilseeds and products of their processing, both for the individual entire economy country, are great importance. This is also due to fact that in recent years there has been an increase interest production oilseeds high demand processing on world Russian markets. Oil flax provides a high-quality technical oil used paint varnish leather footwear industries paints, varnishes, putties, soaps, oilc...

Airtight energy-efficient buildings of today need efficient ventilation to secure high indoor air quality. There is a for affordable and reliable sensors make demand control available in broad range systems. Low-cost metal oxide semiconductor (MOS) volatile organic compound (VOC) offer such possibility, but they are usually non-selective react compounds. The objective the present paper was use ...

According to the research and observations, pest damage of peanut varieties planted in experimental field institute was different. Peanut oil is used all areas national economy for preparation food, canning, varnish, soap, linoleum, perfumery, printing ink, medicine, vegetable or animal fat. Oilseeds are not limited obtaining oil, their pulp a nutritious feed livestock raw material processing i...

A previously healthy 6-week-old boy was accidentally dropped on his head on a linoleum floor. He cried immediately, with no loss of consciousness, vomiting, seizure, or obvious neurologic abnormality , and fell asleep spontaneously within 10 min after the accident without his normal feeding . Physical examination by the pediatrician about 30 min later was normal except for a hematoma in the rig...

BACKGROUND Neonatal in-hospital falls occur relatively frequently, although they are likely underreported. Significant intracranial head trauma from a fall or birth injury is not common in the immediate newborn period. Furthermore, intracranial bleeding requiring surgical intervention is exceedingly rare. We present an unusual case of an in-hospital fall in the delivery room requiring neurosurg...

Material classification is becoming more important in computer vision and digital photography applications, which require accurate classification of objects present in the imaged scene. This is a very challenging task because the sheer diversity of scene content and lighting conditions decreases the usefulness of many colorand texture-based features used in image classification. In this work, w...
