Book Synopsis Studies on the Fire Behaviour of Some Pillows by : G. Caird Ramsay
Download or read book Studies on the Fire Behaviour of Some Pillows written by G. Caird Ramsay and published by . This book was released on 1986 with total page 15 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A representative range of pillows has been examined to assess their fire behaviour when subjected to small smouldering and flaming ignition sources. The sources were placed both on top of and below pillows in combination with pillow cases, sheets and a simulated mattress. Only one pillow (feather filled) was not ignited under any of the conditions used and the other pillows showed a range of ignition and burning behaviours. The report discusses the data obtained and concludes that pillows deserve special attention in assessment of the fire performance of bedding assemblies.

Book Synopsis Studies on the Fire Behaviour of Some Mattresses by : G. Caird Ramsay
Download or read book Studies on the Fire Behaviour of Some Mattresses written by G. Caird Ramsay and published by . This book was released on 1986 with total page 19 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A representative range of mattresses was subjected to cigarette and burning paper ignition sources. Ignition by cigarettes was achieved only at the taped edge of the mattresses which had this design feature. Al I mattresses were readily ignited by the paper source but they showed differing f lame propagation, and heat and smoke release rates. Of particular note was the rapid release of large amounts of heat and smoke by the rubber/polyurethane foam and one of the polyurethane mattresses A prototype institutional mattress which incorporated an interliner showed a significant improvement in fire performance in terms of ignitability, flame propagation, and heat and smoke release. It is concluded that it is feasible to use 'mini-mattresses' for the assessment of such mattresses.

Book Synopsis Toxicity of Plastics and Rubber in Fire by : P. J. Fardell
Download or read book Toxicity of Plastics and Rubber in Fire written by P. J. Fardell and published by iSmithers Rapra Publishing. This book was released on 1993 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report does not seek to single out synthetic polymers as a special case. It aims to provide an overview of the whole subject of combustion toxicity and threat to life, whilst supplying specific information on the most frequently encountered polymeric materials, and combustion products such as dioxins which have received high levels of media attention. An additional indexed section containing several hundred abstracts from the Rapra Polymer Library database provides useful references for further reading.

Download or read book Fire and Cellular Polymers written by J.M. Buist and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 318 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This conference, organised jointly by QMC Wolfson Fire & Materials Centre (Queen Mary College) and the Fire Research Station, held at the Tara Hotel in London, UK, was well attended by a wide range of experts in the production and use of polymer foams. Other experts concerned with research, development, testing, specifying, approving and purchasing products incorporating polymer foams for use in the construction, engineering and furniture industries were also present and contributed to the several valuable discussions on specific topics. The conference was successful and achieved its aim of infonning delegates of the fire characteristics of these materials and how they can be assessed in the light of the latest knowledge and technology. The papers presented a wide-ranging review of the main important cellular polymers and their applications in different environments where fire hazards have been encountered. Delegates accepted that there was a continuing need for major growth in the use of cellular polymers and therefore intensified research into development of improved test procedures, fire retardants and smoke suppressants was required.
Book Synopsis Disruptive Business by : Alexander Manu
Download or read book Disruptive Business written by Alexander Manu and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2016-05-23 with total page 201 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Disruptive Business is a provocative and insightful redefinition of innovation as an outcome of human behaviour, a dynamic in constant change requiring the shaping of new responses in business and the economy. Alexander Manu believes that organizations must treat innovation not as a process to be managed but as an outcome that changes people's lives. In Disruptive Business he explains how innovation is the moment when human behaviour is changed by a particular invention, discovery or event. This position challenges the current understanding of innovation, as well as the current ecology in which innovation operates in organizations: its management, methods, tools, language, focus and metrics. The challenge extends to some of the labels currently applied to innovation typologies, such as 'disruptive innovation', seen today as addressing purely the technological side of an invention, rather than the more complex motivational and behavioural side. Alexander Manu considers that a disruption is not manifest in the moment a new technology is introduced. The disruption is the human being and manifest only when human motivation embraces the technology and uses it to modify and improve everyday life. Our acceptance and appropriation of new technologies creates the business disruption. Manu makes the case that successful innovation outcomes are answers to conscious or subconscious goals residing in human motivation, and motivation starts in desire. This position is consistent with the history of innovations that have changed, improved and reshaped human life, and also consistent with their roots and ethos. Humans are a 'perpetually wanting animal', bound to desire, to seek media for a better self and to need innovation. In this dynamic, innovation is the constant and business is the variable. The role of business is to create the tools, objects and services through which people can manifest what they want and who they are. The book provides a new perspective of current behavioural disruptions which are relevant to the continuity of business, as well as a set of practical methodologies for business design, aimed at creating innovation outcomes of value to users.
