Modelling the generation of toxic combustion products and its transport in enclosure fires
Combustion products generated in enclosure fires can be transported throughout the enclosure causing death and injury to occupants and a great deal of damage to property and the environment. The ability to estimate the generation and transport of toxic combustion products in real fire scenarios …

Towards a comprehensive understanding of human behaviour in dwelling fires
… looks at human behaviour in accidental dwelling fires (ADFs), specifically the behaviours and motivations of those who survive fires in low-rise dwellings. Human behaviour in fire is a well-established subject area, but the primary research focus has been on behaviour in public, commercial and …

Mattress fires and their effect on the destruction and distribution of remains in a house-fire setting
… owing their presence to both the relatively high fire death rate in the United States, and the continued (and mistaken) belief that human remains can be rendered unidentifiable or completely destroyed through burning. In many cases it is necessary to recover and identify remains from residential …

Predicting toxic gas concentrations resulting from enclosure fires using the local equivalence ratio concept linked to fire field models
Fire field modelling is based on the techniques of computational fluid dynamics (CFD), which provide detailed variable solutions throughout the computational domain quickly, repeatedly and cheaply compared with fire experiments. A main component of fire effluent are toxic gases and one of the main …

Expression von Hitzeschockprotein 70 (Hsp70) in den Atemwegen und Lungen von Brandtodesfällen
Es wurden 63 Brandfälle aus dem Sektionsgut des Rechtsmedizinischen Instituts der Universität Freiburg und der Freien Universität Berlin bezüglich histomorphologischer Veränderungen im Respirationstrakt untersucht. Diese Methode wurde um immunhistochemische Verfahren erweitert. Ziel war es, eine …

Expressionsmuster der Adhäsionsmoleküle P-Selektin, von Willebrand-Faktor und PECAM-1 in der Lunge von Todesfällen durch Verbrennungsschock versus Verblutungsschock
Für eine Differenzierung der Todesursache "Verbrennungsschock" und "Verblutungsschock" wurden die Lungenpräparate von jeweils 30 Fällen aus dem Sektionsgut des Rechtsmedizinischen Instituts der Universität Freiburg anhand immunhistochemischer Färbungen mit P-Selektin, von-Willebrand-Faktor (vWF) …
