Development of a Model for Flaming Combustion of Double-Wall Corrugated Cardboard
Corrugated cardboard is used extensively in a storage capacity in warehouses and frequently acts as the primary fuel for accidental fires that begin in storage facilities. A one-dimensional numerical pyrolysis model for double-wall corrugated cardboard was developed using the Thermakin modeling …

"You're my bitch": women's experiences of gender-based cyber- harassment on the internet in South Africa, flaming and trolling
… It focuses on two forms of cyber-harassment: flaming and trolling. It further discusses how women change their online and offline behaviours due to their experiences and what they recommend to other women and social networking sites to manage and combat it. Using individual interviews and …

Light scattering by smoke and nuisance aerosols
… classes of aerosols, namely those generated by flaming and non-flaming (smouldering and forced pyrolysis) fires as well as nuisance aerosols. This was undertaken using a scattering cross section based on the mass concentration of aerosols as opposed to the traditional arbittary units.

Radiant Auto-Ignition of Wood
… parallel to the incident heat flux. The time for flaming ignition is measured up to 70 kW/m2 and compared to piloted ignition results of Spearpoint and Quintiere [28,29] with little difference above 40 kW/m2. With no visible flame, the surface temperature of the wood can achieve 700 C, while the …

Corncob Grit Application as an Alternative to Control Weeds in Two Crop Production Systems
… biomass up to 31% for cultivation and 51% for flaming. Even though the application of corncob grit as well as cultivation and flaming at the V5 corn growth stage reduced the total weed biomass, an application of these treatment-combinations at early stages of corn development may potentially …

Spontaneous Ignition of Linseed Oil Soaked Cotton Using the Oven Basket and Crossing Point Methods
… ignition, smoldering or constant smoldering and flaming. The activation energies were 42.37 kJ/mol, 27.40 kJ/mol, 16.97 kJ/mol, 15.76 kJ/mol and 11.73 kJ/mol for the 5cm (33.3%), 5cm (50%), 7.5% (77%) and 10cm (80%) basket sizes. It was concluded that as the concentration and the basket size …

Potential Ignition Sources from Residential Electric Cooktops
… heating elements resulted in few instances of flaming combustion of the fuels. Approximately half of the fuels tested on the ceramic-glass cooktop ignited at the medium setting, while it was more difficult to ignite fuels on the electric coil and cast iron plate cooktops. Although only select …

Questions about accountability and illegality of virtual rape
… cyberstalking, sexual harassment, cyberbullying, flaming, etc., contextualizing the distinction between rape and virtual rape, and applying First Amendment dialogues and arguments to determine its current legality in the United States. Since virtual rape is considered speech or expression, this …

Separation of the Heat Transfer Components for Diffusion Flames Impinging onto Ceilings
… Gas temperatures within the continuous flaming region were relatively constant, and measured to be independent of ceiling height and HRR, while velocities increased with elevation and were independent of ceiling height yet weakly dependent on HRR. Within the intermittent region, gas …

Evaluation of Flame Weeding in Southeastern South Dakota
… In both seasons of this study (2013 and 2014), flaming treatments tested showed no significant negative effect on yield across all locations in corn and soybean plots. In terms of weed biomass in corn, of four site years tested, one site showed a significant reduction in weed biomass (p</p>

The development of ‘drama’ in YouTube discourse
… With implications for understanding 'flaming' and transgression of social norms in web 2.0 environments, this thesis concludes that inflammatory language led to 'drama' because: (1) users had diverse expectations about social interaction and organisation, (2) users drew upon the …

Downdraft gasification of biomass
… is achieved when the rate of char production by flaming pyrolysis equals the rate of char gasification over a range of throughputs. A turndown ratio of 2:1 was achieved for the hybrid-throated gasifier, compared to 1.3:1 for the open-core. It is hypothesized that pyrolysis is a surface area …

The relationship between the nutrient status and flammability of forest fuels
… suggested, which may be more appropriate to the flaming combustion of the forest floor. It is concluded that low nutrient concentrations and flammability in eucalypt are related, but possibly in an indirect evolutionary way. The evolutionary response of eucalypts and other species to low nutrient …
