n-methylol dimethyl phosphonopropionamide (mdpa) is one of the most utilized fire resistant (fr) finishes for cotton fabrics, utilized as part of a formulation with trimethylol melamine (tmm) to acquire better crosslinking and enhanced fr properties. the system parameters of the finishing treatment were upgraded for better fr properties and low mechanical loss to the fabric by the response surf...

The worldwide movement toward performance-based building codes is prompting the need for new computational methods to predict fire endurance of wood assemblies. Progress in the past twenty years in understanding fire endurance of individual solid wood components has been achieved in many different countries. The greatest opportunity for major advance in fire research is the development of compu...

The structural behavior fire-resistant steel is essential; fire-resistant steel is proven to have higher strength at elevated temperature than that of conventional steel. Also, the requirement of fire protection in the fire-resisting steel can be relaxed as compared with conventional steel structures. However, the design criteria for the application of the fire-resisting steel in steel columns ...

fire blight disease caused by erwinia amylovora is a destructive disease of pome fruits including apple worldwide. use of resistant cultivars is the most efficient method of disease control. in the present research, we investigated genetic resistance of 89 local and imported commercial apple cultivars in natural contaminated conditions to the bacterial disease using beltsville scoring system (u...
