by James G. Quintiere (Author)
Understanding fire dynamics and combustion is essential in fire safety engineering and in fire science curricula. Engineers and students involved in fire protection, safety and investigation need to know and predict how fire behaves to be able to implement adequate safety measures and hazard analyses. Fire phenomena encompass everything about the scientific principles behind fire behavior. Combining the principles of chemistry, physics, heat and mass transfer, and fluid dynamics necessary to understand the fundamentals of fire phenomena, this book integrates the subject into a clear discipline:
- Covers thermochemistry including mixtures and chemical reactions;
- Introduces combustion to the fire protection student;
- Discusses premixed flames and spontaneous ignition;
- Presents conservation laws for control volumes, including the effects of fire;
- Describes the theoretical bases for empirical aspects of the subject of fire;
- Analyses ignition of liquids and the importance of evaporation including heat and mass transfer;
- Features the stages of fire in compartments, and the role of scale modeling in fire.

Cells, Molecules and Temperature: Conformational Flexibility of Macromolecules and Ecological Adaptation
Rated 0 out of 5
0 Reviewsby Vladimir Ya. Alexandrov (Author), V.A. Bernstam (Translator)
(Ecological Studies, 21) Softcover reprint of the original 1st ed. 1977 EditionAfter the great achievements in the field of molecular foundations of genetics and protein synthesis, molecular biology undertook the successful deciphering of a number of other important biological problems. By this time ecology in its various branches was far enough advanced to tackle the problems arising at the level of molecular biology. The monograph of Professor Alexandrov, which takes as an example the adaptation of organisms to habitat temperatures, presents a vivid picture of this major ecological problem as viewed at the cellular and molecular levels. As main theme of the book the author advances a hypothesis on a correlation between the level of conformational flexibility of protein molecules and the temperature ecology of a species, as a result of which the protein molecules are maintained in a semilabile state. This principle may also be applied to other factors of the environment which affect the level of flexibility of protein macro molecules. The principle of semistability is shown to be applicable also to the nucleic and fatty acids.
