    Notizen: The potential 48-satellite constellation offered by the combination of observations from both the GPS and GLONASS positioning systems has created considerable interest among existing GPS users. In the published literature, a considerable amount of work has been devoted to the theoretical issue of algorithm design for combined GPS/GLONASS positioning solutions. Little work has been published, however, on the practical conversion of existing GPS software to include GLONASS observations. This paper considers the computation issues pertaining to the GLONASS broadcast ephemeris for inclusion of GLONASS observations into existing GPS software. The format of the GLONASS broadcast ephemeris is discussed and theory of satellite orbits and their stepwise numerical integration is reviewed. Finally, a strategy for GLONASS broadcast ephemeris computation is proposed to facilitate combination of GPS and GLONASS observations. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notizen: The International Association of Geodesy officially established the International GPS Service (IGS) on Janaury 1, 1994. Its prime objective is to provide support and a rerefence system for a wide variety of scientific and practical applications involving GPS. To fulfill its role the IGS also generates, in addition to its fundamental products (orbital/staion positions and consistent Earth orientation parameters), additional reference-system products providing the necessary infrastructure, standards, and means of calibrations for timing and various atmospheric applications of GPS. The generation and efficient application of IGS products and their impact on a number of positioning and atmospheric applications, including low earth orbit satellites, is reviewed and discussed. @ 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notizen: A proper choice of the observation weight matrix is of importance for both adjusting and testing GPS data. Our understanding of the noise characteristic of GPS observations, on which the weight matrix should be based, is, however, still underdeveloped. This makes it difficult to draw up an appropriate weight matrix. The first and foremost purpose of this contribution is therefore to draw attention to the need to improve upon our rudimentary knowledge of the GPS stochastic model. To this end, results will be presented of a relatively simple case study in which the possible presence of cross-correlation between observables is considered. With these results we hope to spur further discussion and research on this important topic. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notizen: An effective method of decreasing multipath errors in GPS or GPS/GLONASS receivers by changing delay lock loop correlator reference signal is discussed. Unlike other approaches, this method does not lead to apparatus complication, power comsumption increase, or augmentation of digital processor load. This method eliminates the multipath error completely if the difference in delays of direct and reflected signal is more than 30 m, and decreases this error for smaller delays. The cost of such decrease is that the noise error is decreased. However, the noise error is much less dangerous than the multipath one because of its smaller value and much shorter correlation interval. Calculated and experimental data for the method are given for multipath and noise errors. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notizen: Abstract Studying the hypothetical case of a trend superimposed on a random stationary variable, we highlight the strong influence of possible non-stationarities on exceedance probability. After a general outline, the subject is analytically developed using the Gumbel distribution, emphasizing the quick increase of the exceedance probability over time in the presence of weak rising trends, and its sensitive underestimation where the non-stationarity goes unnoticed or is considered negligible. Finally the work is applied to hydrological series of rainfall and river flow.

    Notizen: Abstract: Since the introduction into flood risk analysis, the partial duration series method has gained increasing acceptance as an appealing alternative to the annual maximum series method. However, when the base flow is low, there is clustering in the flood peak or flow volume point process. In this case, the general stochastic point process model is not suitable to risk analysis. Therefore, two types of models for flood risk analysis are derived on the basis of clustering stochastic point process theory in this paper. The most remarkable characteristic of these models is that the flood risk is considered directly within the time domain. The acceptability of different models are also discussed with the combination of the flood peak counted process in twenty years at Yichang station on the Yangtze river. The result shows that the two kinds of models are suitable ones for flood risk analysis, which are more flexible compared with the traditional flood risk models derived on the basis of annual maximum series method or the general stochastic point process theory.

    Notizen: Abstract A new approach for streamflow simulation using nonparametric methods was described in a recent publication (Sharma et al. 1997). Use of nonparametric methods has the advantage that they avoid the issue of selecting a probability distribution and can represent nonlinear features, such as asymmetry and bimodality that hitherto were difficult to represent, in the probability structure of hydrologic variables such as streamflow and precipitation. The nonparametric method used was kernel density estimation, which requires the selection of bandwidth (smoothing) parameters. This study documents some of the tests that were conduced to evaluate the performance of bandwidth estimation methods for kernel density estimation. Issues related to selection of optimal smoothing parameters for kernel density estimation with small samples (200 or fewer data points) are examined. Both reference to a Gaussian density and data based specifications are applied to estimate bandwidths for samples from bivariate normal mixture densities. The three data based methods studied are Maximum Likelihood Cross Validation (MLCV), Least Square Cross Validation (LSCV) and Biased Cross Validation (BCV2). Modifications for estimating optimal local bandwidths using MLCV and LSCV are also examined. We found that the use of local bandwidths does not necessarily improve the density estimate with small samples. Of the global bandwidth estimators compared, we found that MLCV and LSCV are better because they show lower variability and higher accuracy while Biased Cross Validation suffers from multiple optimal bandwidths for samples from strongly bimodal densities. These results, of particular interest in stochastic hydrology where small samples are common, may have importance in other applications of nonparametric density estimation methods with similar sample sizes and distribution shapes.

    Notizen: Abstract The popularity of applying filtering theory in the environmental and hydrological sciences passed its first climax in the 1970s. Like so many other new mathematical methods it was simply the fashion at the time. The study of groundwater systems was not immune to this fashion, but neither was it by any means a prominent area of application. The spatial-temporal characteristics of groundwater flow are customarily described by analytical or, more frequently, numerical, physics-based models. Consequently, the state-space representations associated with filtering must be of a high order, with an immediately apparent computational over-burden. And therein lies part of the reason for the but modest interest there has been in applying Kalman filtering to groundwater systems, as reviewed critically in this paper. Filtering theory may be used to address a variety of problems, such as: state estimation and reconstruction, parameter estimation (including the study of uncertainty and its propagation), combined state-parameter estimation, input estimation, estimation of the variance-covariance properties of stochastic disturbances, the design of observation networks, and the analysis of parameter identifiability. A large proportion of previous studies has dealt with the problem of parameter estimation in one form or another. This may well not remain the focus of attention in the future. Instead, filtering theory may find wider application in the context of data assimilation, that is, in reconstructing fields of flow and the migration of sub-surface contaminant plumes from relatively sparse observations.

    Notizen: Abstract This study uses the method of peaks over threshold (P.O.T.) to estimate the flood flow quantiles for a number of hydrometric stations in the province of New Brunswick, Canada. The peak values exceeding the base level (threshold), or `exceedances', are fitted by a generalized Pareto distribution. It is known that under the assumption of Poisson process arrival for flood exceedances, the P.O.T. model leads to a generalized extreme value distribution (GEV) for yearly maximum discharge values. The P.O.T. model can then be applied to calculate the quantiles X T corresponding to different return periods T, in years. A regionalization of floods in New Brunswick, which consists of dividing the province into `homogeneous regions', is performed using the method of the `region of influence'. The 100-year flood is subsequently estimated using a regionally estimated value of the shape parameter of the generalized Pareto distribution and a regression of the 100-year flood on the drainage area. The jackknife sampling method is then used to contrast the regional results with the values estimated at site. The variability of these results is presented in box-plot form.

    Notizen: Abstract : The knowledge of the volume and duration of low-flow events in river channels is essential for water management and the design of hydraulics structures. In this study, both preceding characteristics, X 1 and X 2, are considered simultaneously via two types of bivariate distributions whose marginals are exponential. One of these bivariate distributions has been presented by Nagao and Kadoya (1971) and the other has been used by Singh and Singh (1991) to the study of rainfall intensity and rainfall depth. The results are applied to the low-flow series (“peaks-below-threshold”) of Lepreau River (station 01AQ001) in New Brunswick, Canada. These results show that the model that was successfully employed by Singh and Singh (1991) to study rainfall, presents certain difficulties when a very strong correlation, ρ, between the two random variables X 1 and X 2, exists. The model by Nagao and Kadoya (1971) seems to be more satisfactory for such situations, although this model seems also to be quite sensitive to variations in ρ.

    Notizen: Abstract Many natural porous geological rock formations, as well as engineered porous structures, have fractal properties, i.e., they are self-similar over several length scales. While there have been many experimental and theoretical studies on how to quantify a fractal porous medium and on how to determine its fractal dimension, the numerical generation of a fractal pore structure with predefined statistical and scaling properties is somewhat scarcer. In the present paper a new numerical method for generating a three-dimensional porous medium with any desired probability density function (PDF) and autocorrelation function (ACF) is presented. The well-known Turning Bands Method (TBM) is modified to generate three-dimensional synthetic isotropic and anisotropic porous media with a Gaussian PDF and exponential-decay ACF. Porous media with other PDF's and ACF's are constructed with a nonlinear, iterative PDF and ACF transformation, whereby the arbitrary PDF is converted to an equivalent Gaussian PDF which is then simulated with the classical TBM. Employing a new method for the estimation of the surface area for a given porosity, the fractal dimensions of the surface area of the synthetic porous media generated in this way are then measured by classical fractal perimeter/area relationships. Different 3D porous media are simulated by varying the porosity and the correlation structure of the random field. The performance of the simulations is evaluated by checking the ensemble statistics, the mean, variance and ACF of the simulated random field. For a porous medium with Gaussian PDF, an average fractal dimension of approximately 2.76 is obtained which is in the range of values of actually measured fractal dimensions of molecular surfaces. For a porous medium with a non-Gaussian quadratic PDF the calculated fractal dimension appears to be consistently higher and averages 2.82. The results also show that the fractal dimension is neither strongly dependent of the porosity nor of the degree of anisotropy assumed.

    Notizen: Abstract Transport of non-ergodic solute plumes by steady-state groundwater flow with a uniform mean velocity, μ, were simulated with Monte Carlo approach in a two-dimensional heterogeneous and statistically isotropic aquifer whose transmissivity, T, is log-normally distributed with an exponential covariance. The ensemble averages of the second spatial moments of the plume about its center of mass, 〈S i i (t)〉, and the plume centroid covariance, R i i (t) (i=1,2), were simulated for the variance of Y=log T, σ Y 2=0.1, 0.5 and 1.0 and line sources normal or parallel to μ of three dimensionless lengths, 1, 5, and 10. For σ Y 2=0.1, all simulated 〈S i i (t)〉−S i i (0) and R i i (t) agree well with the first-order theoretical values, where S i i (0) are the initial values of S i i (t). For σ Y 2=0.5 and 1.0 and the line sources normal to μ, the simulated longitudinal moments, 〈S 11(t)〉−S 11(0) and R 11(t), agree well with the first-order theoretical results but the simulated transverse moments 〈S 22(t)〉−S 22(0) and R 22(t) are significantly larger than the first-order values. For the same two larger values of σ Y 2 but the line sources parallel to μ, the simulated 〈S 11(t)〉−S 11(0) are larger than but the simulated R 11 are smaller than the first-order values, and both simulated 〈S 22(t)〉−S 22(0) and R 22(t) stay larger than the first-order values. For a fixed value of σ Y 2, the summations of 〈S i i (t)〉−S i i (0) and R i i , i.e., X i i (i=1,2), remain almost the same no matter what kind of source simulated. The simulated X 11 are in good agreement with the first-order theory but the simulated X 22 are significantly larger than the first-order values. The simulated X 22, however, are in excellent agreement with a previous modeling result and both of them are very close to the values derived using Corrsin's conjecture. It is found that the transverse moments may be significantly underestimated if less accurate hydraulic head solutions are used and that the decreasing of 〈S 22(t)〉−S 22(0) with time or a negative effective dispersivity, defined as , may happen in the case of a line source parallel to μ where σ Y 2 is small.

    Notizen: Abstract Geostatistical techniques are used to quantify the reference mean areal rainfall (ground truth) from sparse raingaugenetworks. Based on the EPSAT-Niger event cumulative rainfall, a linear relationship between the ground truth considered as the mean area rainfall estimated from the densely available raingauge network and the area rainfall estimated from sparse network are derived. Also, a linear relationship between the ground truth and point rainfall is established. As it was reported experimentally by some authors, the slope of these relationships is less than one. Based on the geostatistical framework, the slope and the ordinate at the origin can be estimated as a function of the spatial structure of the rainfall process. It is shown that the slope is smaller than one. For the special case of one gauge inside a fixed area or a Field Of View (FOV), an areal reduction factor is derived. It has a limit value which depends only on the size of the area and the spatial structure of the rainfall process. The relative variance error of estimating the FOV cumulative rainfall from point rainfall is also given.

    Notizen: Abstract: A second order stochastic differential equation is used for modeling of water-table elevation. The data were sampled at the Borden Aquifer as a part of a tracer experiment. The purpose of the water-table data collection was to determine presence of a water flow. We argue that the water-table surface is a simple plane oscillating up and down in time according to an equation for a stochastic oscillator. We derive the model, estimate its parameters and provide arguments for goodness-of-fit of the model.

    Notizen: Abstract: Due to the social and economic implications, flood frequency analysis must be done with the highest precision. For this reason, the most suitable statistical model must be selected, and the maximum amount of information must be used. Floods in Mediterranean rivers can be produced by two different mechanisms, which forces the use of a non-traditional distribution like the TCEV. The information can be increased by using additional non-systematic data, or with a regional analysis, or both. Through the statistical gain concept, it has been shown that in most cases the use of additional non-systematic information can decrease the quantile estimation error in about 50%. In a regional analysis, the␣benefit of additional information in one station, is propagated to the rest of␣the␣stations with only a small decrease with respect to the at-site equivalent analysis.

    Notizen: Abstract We present a geostatistically based inverse model for characterizing heterogeneity in parameters of unsaturated hydraulic conductivity for three-dimensional flow. Pressure and moisture content are related to perturbations in hydraulic parameters through cross-covariances, which are calculated to first-order. Sensitivities needed for covariance calculations are derived using the adjoint state sensitivity method. Approximations of the conditional mean parameter fields are then obtained from the cokriging estimator. Correlation between parameters and pressure – moisture content perturbations is seen to be strongly dependent on mean pressure or moisture content. High correlation between parameters and pressure data was obtained under saturated or near saturated flow conditions, providing accurate estimation of saturated hydraulic conductivity, while moisture content measurements provided accurate estimation of the pore size distribution parameter under unsaturated flow conditions.

    Notizen: Abstract : As with all dynamic programming formulations, differential dynamic programming (DDP) successfully exploits the sequential decision structure of multi-reservoir optimization problems, overcomes difficulties with the nonconvexity of energy production functions for hydropower systems, and provides optimal feedback release policies. DDP is particularly well suited to optimizing large-scale multi-reservoir systems due to its relative insensitivity to state-space dimensionality. This advantage of DDP encourages expansion of the state vector to include additional multi-lag hydrologic information and/or future inflow forecasts in developing optimal reservoir release policies. Unfortunately, attempts at extending DDP to the stochastic case have not been entirely successful. A modified stochastic DDP algorithm is presented which overcomes difficulties in previous formulations. Application of the algorithm to a four-reservoir hydropower system demonstrates its capabilities as an efficient approach to solving stochastic multi-reservoir optimization problems. The algorithm is also applied to a single reservoir problem with inclusion of multi-lag hydrologic information in the state vector. Results provide evidence of significant benefits in direct inclusion of expanded hydrologic state information in optimal feedback release policies.

    Notizen: Abstract This paper presents a geostatistical approach to multi-directional aquifer stimulation in order to better identify the transmissivity field. Hydraulic head measurements, taken at a few locations but under a number of different steady-state flow conditions, are used to estimate the transmissivity. Well installation is generally the most costly aspect of obtaining hydraulic head measurements. Therefore, it is advantageous to obtain as many informative measurements from each sampling location as possible. This can be achieved by hydraulically stimulating the aquifer through pumping, in order to set-up a variety of flow conditions. We illustrate the method by applying it to a synthetic aquifer. The simulations provide evidence that a few sampling locations may provide enough information to estimate the transmissivity field. Furthermore, the innovation of, or new information provided by, each measurement can be examined by looking at the corresponding spline and sensitivity matrix. Estimates from multi-directional stimulation are found to be clearly superior to estimates using data taken under one flow condition. We describe the geostatistical methodology for using data from multi-directional simulations and address computational issues.

Cet article décrit des expériences réalisées sur des anneaux de grès de Penrith de différentes tailles et soumis à cet essai. La distribution et l'ampleur des déformations à la surface des anneaux ont été mesurées en utilisant les techniques du Moiré, à partir desquelles on a déterminé les déformations à la rupture. Ces dernières, qui se sont produites à différents stades en fonction de la hauteur des anneaux, ont été mesurées. Les déformations se révèlent être dépendantes de la porosité totale, mais les résultats obtenus ne peuvent pas s'expliquer par ce seul facteur.
    Notizen: Abstract  The Hoop Tension Test has proved to be a reliable and sensitive test for measuring rock strength in tension. This paper describes experiments using Penrith Sandstone hoops of different sizes, failed under tension by this procedure. The distribution and magnitude of strain over the surface of the hoops was measured using Moiré fringes, from which strains at failure were determined. The variation in strain at failure between the hoops of differing heights, failed at different rates of deformation, was determined. The strains appear to be dependent on total porosity but no single explanation accounts for the results obtained.

Le glissement a provoqué des dégâts considérables et tué 20 personnes. Il a été provoqué par une augmentation de la pression hydrostatique à la base des colluvions, la rupture se produisant à l'interface roche en place/éboulis. Compte tenu de l'importance de tels glissements sur l'habitat et les routes, la mise en place d'un système d'alarme, basé sur un seuil de 170 mm de précipitations en 24 heures, est proposé par les auteurs.
    Notizen: Abstract  On 28 June 1994 when 240 mm of rainfall occurred, a huge debris slide took place at Parmachi village in the Varandh Ghat of the Konkan district on the west coast of India. The debris slide resulted in extensive damage to property and killed 20 people in addition to numerous animals. The slide is considered to have occurred due to the development of hydrostatic pressure at the base of colluvial material, such that slope failure took place at the rock/soil interface. In view of the significance of such slides to settlements and highways, it is proposed that a warning system is developed based on a rainfall threshold of 170 mm in a 24-hour period.

    Beschreibung / Inhaltsverzeichnis: Abstract  More than 514 measure points of water content made by Time Domain Reflectometry method, during a hydrological cycle and evenly distributed among the two studied underground quarries of Gironde (France) show a permanent undersaturated limestone. Two periods of maximum water content correspond to two occurring effective precipitations. The dephasing and decreasing with depth of the amplitude of the wave water content can be explained by the petrophysical properties of porous medium. The maps of the spatial distribution of water content show the heterogeneity of water flow in an unsaturated meteoric zone. The study of the change in water content of a rock mass as rainwater passes through the unsaturated zone is of a scientific interest as it affects (Pauly 1990; Morat et al. 1992a; Morat et al. 1992b; Hammecker 1993; Pisarenko et al. 1996; Cerepi 1997): a) the degradation of the mechanical properties of materials due to variations and amplitude of water content; b) the change in the chemical properties of the material, including dissolution and cementation and c) the retention of pollutants within the pores of the rock mass in the nearsurface zone. The paper reports an experimental study of the change in water content evolution using the Time Domain Reflectometry (TDR) method. The experiment was conducted over an annual hydrological cycle between April 1996 and April 1997 in two underground quarries/mines (Gauriac-Thau and Saint Germain-La Rivière) in the unsaturated Aquitanian oligocene limestone in the North of Dordogne. The effective precipitation was considered to be the source of the water in the pores of the analysed limestone and hence used as the entrance signal of the analysed system (Fig. 1). The signal related to the air content within the voids remains constant during the hydrological cycle and does not affect the water content signal. The water flows from surface to the ground water level through the porous pillars. The porous network is only represented by a matrix pore network because the fracturing network is plugged up with internal sediment. A series of core samples have been removed from the pillars as well as from boreholes drilled from the surface through the rock cover immediately above the mine pillars in order to analyse petrophysical properties. The method of Time Domain Reflectometry was first used by Fellner-Feldegg (1969) to measure the dielectric permitivity of solutions and is now a widely used method of measuring water content (Nicodem 1966; Hipp 1974; Topp et al. 1980; Topp et Davis 1985). The TDR apparatus used is a TRIME-system whose drill contains two electrodes. For the calibration of the TDR apparatus a sampling core is used the dimensions having been choosen in accordance with the volume of the rock measured by the electromagnetic field (Fig. 2). Two kinds of measures are made: the water content calculated by weighing and the apparent water content measured by the TDR, in order to allow the conversion of the apparent values to the real values of water content (Fig. 2). A monthly analysis of water content measurements and effective precipitation indicated that the degree of saturation at the two sites varied between 36% and 73%. Throughout the hydrological period studied, saturation has never reached the value of 100%. When depth increases we observe a dephasing between the wave of water content in both sites. In the Saint Germain-La-Rivière site, there was a time lag of three months before the signal resulting from precipitation in November 1996 was recognised at 5,85 m and a further month before it was recorded at 7,35 m depth (Fig. 3, 4). At Gauriac-Thau there was a two month time lag before the effect of the rainfall was noted at 7,5 m and further month before the signal indicated it has reached 11,5 m (Fig. 3, 5). Throughout the hydrological cycle, the experiment showed the amplitude of the wave of water content decreased with depth, at a rate of 0,5% of the maximum average amplitude per metre depth (Fig. 3, 4, 5). The difference in saturation between the two sites is related to two petrophysical parameters of the rock: the specific surface area and the pore throat size. The relationship of the water/solid surface area is important as it strongly influences water tension. The results have shown that the effect of the specific surface area is more pronounced in the limestone of Gauriac-Thau (Table 1). When the pore throat size decreases the capillary pressure increases. The limestone of Thau has smaller pore throat than the limestone of Saint Germain-La-Rivière. The dephasing phenomenon (period of delay before the effects of precipitation are noted) depends essentially on two factors. As regards the diffusivity of the porous medium, defined as , this is the taken into account by the Schoeller model (1962) used to calculate the dephasing of the wave of the water content. The comparison between tcal (calculated dephasing time) and tm (measured dephasing time) of the wave of water content at different levels indicated that tcal values are slightly lower that tm values (Table 2). This is probably due to an over-estimation of the values of permeability Kz. The difference in amplitude of the water content between the two study sites can be explained by two factors: a) the kinetics of capillary saturation represented by coefficient A′, b) the porosity. The water content was recorded each month at 514 points. As can be seen from Fig. 4, 5, the data indicate the variation in both the measurements and the petrophysical properties of the porous medium. Time Domain Reflectometry, which measures the water content of a rock through the dielectric constant, was used to analyse the change in the water content of a limestone bedrock above the ground water table. After calibration of the TDR apparatus, monthly measurements were taken at 514 points over the hydrological cycle April 1996 to April 1997. In the underground quarries/mines at Saint Germain-La-Rivière and Gauriac-Thau, the dielectric constant was measured at regular intervals within the pillars. The results indicated a permanent undersaturation of the rock material, the degree of which was related to the petrophysical properties of the porous medium: the specific surface area and the pore throat size. The dephasing and decrease in amplitude of water content signal with depth depends on the petrophysical properties of the porous medium: the diffusivity, the hydraulic capacity and the velocity of capilllary saturation. The maps of water content at the two sites indicate the variation of water flow in the unsaturated zone was related to the heterogeneity of the properties of the limestone.
    Notizen: Résumé Les 514 points de mesures de la teneur en eau effectués mensuellement par la méthode de "Time Domain Reflectometry" pendant un cycle hydrologique et répartis dans deux carrières souterraines de calcaire la Gironde (France) ont montré une non saturation permanente du calcaire. Les deux périodes maximales de teneur en eau correspondent à deux événements de précipitations efficaces. Le déphasage et la diminution de l'amplitude de l'onde de teneur en eau avec la profondeur s'expliquent par les propriétés pétrophysiques du milieu poreux matriciel. Les cartes de répartition spatiale de la teneur en eau traduisent l'hétérogénéité de l'écoulement matriciel en zone non saturée.

    Notizen: Abstract  Recent rock cutting laboratory experiments and field studies on the performance of rock cutting trenchers has provided a better understanding of the processes and factors affecting tool consumption and excavation rates of rock excavation machines. On the basis of this, a model has been developed to assist in the prediction of trenching rates and tool wear in various geological situations. The paper provides an overview of the set-up and results of both laboratory and field studies. It describes a basic framework model of the processes and mechanisms involved in assessing excavation rates and tool consumption and discusses how the acquired knowledge can be used to assist with predictions for future excavation works. It then considers how this knowledge could be applied by practitioners who have to work with a scarcity or absence of good quality and reliable data.

Attention is drawn to the presence of both inter- and intra-particle voids within this material and appropriate modifications to the standard solid-water-air phase diagram are suggested to take account of this. The importance of understanding the structure of the pumice and its response to rainfall/ground water conditions is discussed in relation to both landslips and stabilisation works.

La formation concernée est constituée de débris pyroclastiques quaternaires faiblement consolidés et perméables. Les mesures de résistivité effectuées sur une durée de six mois on mis en évidence les variations dans le talus, et en particulier un décalage marqué entre la chute de pluie et la modification de résistivité. Près de la surface, la réponsc est rapide et importante. A des profondeurs plus grandes, elle est plus lente et plus faible, mais les effets peuvent être cumulatifs.
    Notizen: Abstract  Rainfall and its infiltration into a slope is one of the most important factors affecting slope stability in a monsoon region. To understand the infiltration process, changes in the apparent resistivity within a slope in southern Kyushu, Japan, have been measured using automated electric prospecting. The slope studied is underlain by Quaternary weak and permeable pyroclastic flow deposits. Resistivity data obtained over a six month period indicate that the conditions within the slope vary and a distinct time lag is recognised between the rainfall event and the change in resistivity. At near surface depths the response is rapid and large. At lower depths it is slower and smaller, but the effects may be cumulative.

    Beschreibung / Inhaltsverzeichnis: Résumé La Tour penchée de Pise, de 56 m de hauteur, a été construite en trois phases de 1173 à 1370, sur les alluvions de la rivière Arno, dans le Centre-Ouest de l'Italie. Bien que la tour ait commencéà basculer très tôt, la poursuite de l'inclinaison dans le temps a conduit à se poser des problèmes de sécurité. Après avoir examiné les méthodes de constuction de la tour et présenté les terrains de fondation, l'article rappelle l'histoire du basculement de la tour, décrit les mesures conservatoires provisoires et propose des méthodes pour sa stabilisation permanente.
    Notizen: Abstract  The 56-m high "leaning tower" of Pisa was constructed in three phases between 1173 and 1370 on the alluvial sediments of the River Arno, central west Italy. Although the tower deviated from the vertical at an early stage, the continuing tilt has led to concern about its safety. Having reviewed the construction of the tower and the underlying geology, the paper discusses the history of the tilting and describes the temporary remedial measures undertaken and permanent stabilization proposed.

    Beschreibung / Inhaltsverzeichnis: Résumé La sequence sismique de septembre–octobre 1997 qui a affecté l'une des régions historiques les plus importantes d'Italie Centrale a mis en évidence que l'impact économique des tremblements de terre de magnitude modérée peut être considérable. En ce qui concerne la vulnerabilité du patrimoine artistique et architectural, on a constaté que des trésors inestimables pouvaient subir des dégâts importants même lors de secousses modérées. On attire l'attention sur le fait qu'un microzonage sismique ne pourra être efficace que si l'on prend en compte non seulement l'activité sismique passée mais aussi l'historique des développements urbains.
    Notizen: Abstract  The September–October 1997 seismic sequence in one of the most important historic areas of Central Italy showed that the economic impact of earthquakes of only moderate magnitude can be high. In view of the vulnerability of the artistic and architectural heritage, priceless treasures in such towns as Assisi are very susceptible to damage as a consequence of such seismic events. Attention is drawn to the fact that for seismic microzonation to be effective, it is essential that not only the past seismic activity but also the history of the urban developments is taken into account.

    Notizen: Abstract  The escarpment of the Lower Greensand in south and central Kent is extensively landslipped. The paper describes the landslips in general but concentrates on those parts of the escarpment which form the abandoned coastal cliffs, now protected from marine attack by Romney Marsh. In particular it considers the investigation of a set of landslips near Hythe, Kent, which form part of an extensive landslide complex re-activated at the time of the 1988 wet period. The rainfall patterns for the area are discussed and related to the landslide events. New insights into the nature of the historic damage to the third century fort known as Stutfall Castle are considered.

Depuis des millénaires, des tunnels ont été creusés dans cette roche pour différentes utilisations. Cet article porte sur l'applicabilitéà la craie de la classification Q et RMR des roches. Les mesures de terrain effectuées dans sept tunnels différents ont montré que les méthodes de classification Q et RMR étaient trop conservatives.

    Notizen: Abstract  Chalk is widely distributed and well exposed in Israel. For thousands of years tunnels for various purposes have been excavated in this rock mass. This paper focuses on the applicability of the Q and RMR rock mass classification to chalk. From field measurements undertaken in seven different tunnels it has been concluded that the Q and RMR classification methods were too conservative. It is therefore suggested that a modification of the present classification methods, or a new classification, based on the chalk's strength is required.

    Beschreibung / Inhaltsverzeichnis: Résumé Suite aux intenses précipitations du 4/5 mai 1998, plus d'une containe de mouvements de terrain se sont produits dans la région de Sarno-Quindici, à environ 30 km à l'est de Naples, dans le sud de l'Italic. Les mouvements de terrain sont situés dans une zone où des matériaux pyroclastiques recents recouvrent un substratum calcaire du Mésozoïque ayant déjà subi une karstification pendant une longue période. Les coulées de débris issues de ces mouvements de terrain se sont propagés sur 3 à 4 km à l'intérieur des plaines environnantes et ont atteint les villes de Sarno, Quindici, Bracigliano et Siano, en causant de graves destructions. 160 personnes ont péri. Cet article préliminaire examine plusieurs scénarios afin de mettre en lumière les causes et mécanismes possibles des mouvements de terrain. Sont particulièrement importants les scénarios des précipitations antérieures, l'éventualité de nappe d'eau perchée, les propriétés physiques des roches volcaniques métastables récentes et des paléosols sous jacents et l'influence des changements morphologiques d'origine anthropique. Des études plus poussées sont entreprises pour déterminer l'importance relative de ces différents facteurs.
    Notizen: Abstract  Following intense rainfall on 4/5 May 1998, over 100 mass movements occurred in the Sarno-Quindici area, some 30 km east of Naples, southern Italy. The movements took place in an area where recent pyroclastic materials mantle a Mesozoic limestone bedrock massif which had already suffered karstification over a long period. The debris from these movements extended 3–4 km into the surrounding lowlands and reached the towns of Sarno, Quindici, Bracigliano and Siano, causing severe destruction. One hundred and sixty-one people lost their lives. This preliminary paper discusses a number of scenarios to highlight the possible causes and mechanisms of the movements. Of particular importance are preceding rainfall patterns, the possible perched water conditions, the physical properties of the recent metastable volcanoclastics and underlying palaeosols and the influence of man-made changes in the morphology. Further studies are being undertaken to elucidate the relative importance of the different contributory factors.

    Notizen: Abstract We investigated the effect of conditioning transient, two-dimensional groundwater flow simulations, where the transmissivity was a spatial random field, on time dependent head data. The random fields, representing perturbations in log transmissivity, were generated using a known covariance function and then conditioned to match head data by iteratively cokriging and solving the flow model numerically. A new approximation to the cross-covariance of log transmissivity perturbations with time dependent head data and head data at different times, that greatly increased the computational efficiency, was introduced. The most noticeable effect of head data on the estimation of head and log transmissivity perturbations occurred from conditioning only on spatially distributed head measurements during steady flow. The additional improvement in the estimation of the log transmissivity and head perturbations obtained by conditioning on time dependent head data was fairly small. On the other hand, conditioning on temporal head data had a significant effect on particle tracks and reduced the lateral spreading around the center of the paths.

    Notizen: Abstract The Differential System Method (DSM) permits identification of the physical parameters of finite-difference groundwater flow models in a confined aquifer when piezometric head and source terms are known at each point of the finite-difference lattice for at least two independent flow situations for which the hydraulic gradients are not parallel. Since piezometric head data are usually few and sparse, interpolation of the measured data onto a regular grid can be performed with geostatistical techniques. We apply kriging to the sparse data of a synthetic aquifer to evaluate the stability of the DSM with respect to uncorrelated measurement errors and interpolation errors. The numerical results show that the DSM is stable.

    Notizen: Abstract: A common approach for the performance assessment of radionuclide migration from a nuclear waste repository is by means of Monte-Carlo techniques. Multiple realizations of the parameters controlling radionuclide transport are generated and each one of these realizations is used in a numerical model to provide a transport prediction. The statistical analysis of all transport predictions is then used in performance assessment. In order to reduce the uncertainty on the predictions is necessary to incorporate as much information as possible in the generation of the parameter fields. In this regard, this paper focuses in the impact that conditioning the transmissivity fields to geophysical data and/or piezometric head data has on convective transport predictions in a two-dimensional heterogeneous formation. The Walker Lake data based is used to produce a heterogeneous log-transmissivity field with distinct non-Gaussian characteristics and a secondary variable that represents some geophysical attribute. In addition, the piezometric head field resulting from the steady-state solution of the groundwater flow equation is computed. These three reference fields are sampled to mimic a sampling campaign. Then, a series of Monte-Carlo exercises using different combinations of sampled data shows the relative worth of secondary data with respect to piezometric head data for transport predictions. The analysis shows that secondary data allows to reproduce the main spatial patterns of the reference transmissivity field and improves the mass transport predictions with respect to the case in which only transmissivity data is used. However, a few piezometric head measurements could be equally effective for the characterization of transport predictions.

    Notizen: Abstract: Cohen and Sweeter (1975) found the 20 to 22-year Hale (double sunspot) cycle signal in the maximum entropy spectra of sunspot and Atlantic tropical cyclone data. Currie (1996) corroborated and extended their analysis, but he argued that this signal is the 18.6-year luni-solar tidal constituent. Currie maintains that Cohen and Sweeter mistakenly conjectured that this long term periodicity was induced by the 20 to 22-year Hale cycle signal. However, no further investigation of periodicity in the extracted wave forms corresponding to the 18.6-year luni-solar signal was conducted. In this study, we follow Currie's signal processing procedures to extract the wave forms corresponding to the 18.6-year luni-solar signal. In order to investigate the periodicity in the extracted wave forms, multi-taper method (MTM) is used for harmonic analysis. Band pass filters are then designed to extract the wave forms corresponding to the individual components identified in the MTM harmonic analysis. The investigation results of the monthly precipitation and Palmer's drought severity index (PDSI) data in three of the midwestern states – Illinois, Indiana and Ohio – show that two periodic components, the 20 to 22-year Hale cycle signal and the other component with periods between 16.9 and 13.5 years, are identified. The bistability phenomenon, which Currie found in these wave forms, is more likely to result from the superposition of these two periodic components, rather than from a nonlinear mechanism. Besides, a periodic component with an approximate period of 33 years is detected.

    Notizen: Abstract: Part 1 of this study assessed the effectiveness of dispersion models based around random particle tracking (RPT) applied an overbank flow in the Flood Channel Facility at HR Wallingford. Several of the RPT models that were used predicted the mixing behaviour of the tracer in the complex channel flow to within an acceptable accuracy. If there is no uniqueness in the model structure which can be used to represent the true system to within the limitations of the available observations, then this implies an inherent degree of ambiguity in our knowledge of the physically based model structure. This suggests that we should be less forthright in the optimisation of each individual model structure, and perhaps investigate more of the parameter combinations for each model which yield feasible simulations of the system. An alternative fuzzy calibration technique is introduced which avoids the optimisation process and takes account of uncertainties in the model structure, parameter sets and observed data in prediction.

    Notizen: Abstract: In a special opportunity, detailed measurements of the flow in an overbank flow in the Flood Channel Facility at HR Wallingford were used in conjunction with tracer test data to assess the effectiveness of dispersion models based around random particle tracking (RPT). Ten different RPT models based on different assumptions and levels of information about the nature of the Lagrangian velocity field were investigated. Multiple simulations were used to calibrate variable parameters controlling the average magnitude of the perturbations for each model by comparison with observed concentrations at one cross-section. The calibrated models were then used to predict concentration distributions further downstream. Several of the calibrated models showed close agreement between observed and predicted concentration distributions. The most complex models using the most information about the velocity distributions were no better (and in some cases worse) in prediction than the simplest models investigated. It would appear that our knowledge of the system, despite the quality of the experiments, is too uncertain to infer a precise model structure.

    Notizen: Abstract: Higher-order approximation techniques for estimating stochastic parameter of the non-homogeneous Poisson (NHP) model are presented. The NHP model is characterized by a two-parameter cumulative probability distribution function (CDF) of sediment displacement. Those two parameters are the temporal and spatial intensity functions, physically representing the inverse of the average rest period and step length of sediment particles, respectively. Difficulty of estimating the parameters has, however, restricted the applications of the NHP model. The approximation techniques are proposed to address such problem. The basic idea of the method is to approximate a model involving stochastic parameters by Taylor series expansion. The expansion preserves certain higher-order terms of interest. Using the experimental (laboratory or field) data, one can determine the model parameters through a system of equations that are simplified by the approximation technique. The parameters so determined are used to predict the cumulative distribution of sediment displacement. The second-order approximation leads to a significant reduction of the CDF error (of the order of 47%) compared to the first-order approximation. Error analysis is performed to evaluate the accuracy of the first- and second-order approximations with respect to the experimental data. The higher-order approximations provide better estimations of the sediment transport and deposition that are critical factors for such environment as spawning gravel-bed.

    Notizen: Abstract. The similarity between maximum entropy (MaxEnt) and minimum relative entropy (MRE) allows recent advances in probabilistic inversion to obviate some of the shortcomings in the former method. The purpose of this paper is to review and extend the theory and practice of minimum relative entropy. In this regard, we illustrate important philosophies on inversion and the similarly and differences between maximum entropy, minimum relative entropy, classical smallest model (SVD) and Bayesian solutions for inverse problems. MaxEnt is applicable when we are determining a function that can be regarded as a probability distribution. The approach can be extended to the case of the general linear problem and is interpreted as the model which fits all the constraints and is the one model which has the greatest multiplicity or “spreadout” that can be realized in the greatest number of ways. The MRE solution to the inverse problem differs from the maximum entropy viewpoint as noted above. The relative entropy formulation provides the advantage of allowing for non-positive models, a prior bias in the estimated pdf and `hard' bounds if desired. We outline how MRE can be used as a measure of resolution in linear inversion and show that MRE provides us with a method to explore the limits of model space. The Bayesian methodology readily lends itself to the problem of updating prior probabilities based on uncertain field measurements, and whose truth follows from the theorems of total and compound probabilities. In the Bayesian approach information is complete and Bayes' theorem gives a unique posterior pdf. In comparing the results of the classical, MaxEnt, MRE and Bayesian approaches we notice that the approaches produce different results. In␣comparing MaxEnt with MRE for Jayne's die problem we see excellent comparisons between the results. We compare MaxEnt, smallest model and MRE approaches for the density distribution of an equivalent spherically-symmetric earth and for the contaminant plume-source problem. Theoretical comparisons between MRE and Bayesian solutions for the case of the linear model and Gaussian priors may show different results. The Bayesian expected-value solution approaches that of MRE and that of the smallest model as the prior distribution becomes uniform, but the Bayesian maximum aposteriori (MAP) solution may not exist for an underdetermined case with a uniform prior.

These solutions extends the existing deterministic, sharp interface solutions to stochastic ones. The randomness is represented in terms of statistical measures of mean, standard deviation and covariance. The analysis is based on perturbation using Taylor series expansion.

    Notizen: Abstract From a fire protection standpoint, telecommunications equipment facilities present a unique set of conditions. Although life safety hazards are minimal in such facilities, a fire that would be considered small in most other industrial settings can have a devastating impact on the community such facilities serve. This paper describes the development of a method that systematically assesses the fire risk associated with individual, discrete spaces in telecommunications facilities by measuring and reporting fire risk values for life safety and network integrity. The method, called the Central Office Fire Risk Assessment (COFRA) methodology, may be implemented manually or integrated into a computer-based program. It is unique in that it measures business interruption fire risk, uses decision tables extensively, and develops and treats subparameters.

    Notizen: Abstract If a civil engineer designs a bridge, the basic requirement is that the bridge be safe. The designer must guarantee that the bridge will resist the traffic across it and weather conditions it will be exposed to. On the other hand, a fire protection engineer designing the interior of a building is not explicitly required to vouch for the building's fire safety. Though the authority having jurisdiction states that the interior finish materials, for example, must meet some requirements in terms of various fire properties, the authority leaves implicit a critical assumption: the expectation that using these materials will ensure fire safety—in other words, it will ensure that nobody would die should a fire break out in the building. This procedure for designing fire safe buildings has been in place for so long, it gives a significant level of comfort to all involved, and it implies minimum risk: the manufacturer knows exactly what is required and the authority having jurisdiction does not feel responsible for making any additional commitments of either time or money to make changes. Unfortunately, this practice has come to harm us over the years: new materials, products, or systems are being developed continually, some of which offer improvements, while others require compromises. Retaining the existing system can hurt the authority having jurisdiction in two ways: first, it may prevent the use of new designs, with overall better fire performance; and second, it may allow new designs to be assessed with inappropriate tools, so that they appear to be better than they are (examples of this type are too many to enumerate). Alternative designs may be approved today through a fire hazard assessment that may lead to a request for a code variance, called an “equivalency.” Regulations or specifications, including those by the authority having jurisdiction, may also require a fire hazard assessment to ensure fire safety in so-called fire performance-based code. Two other practical reasons why such fire hazard assessments might be undertaken are, first, if a manufacturer wants to develop an improved product and compare its fire performance with that of existing ones, and second, if a lawyer involved in product liability fire litigation requires a more technical basis to justify the use (or condemn the potential misuse) of a product involved in a fire incident where something went unfortunately wrong. There is understandable reluctance to follow the fire hazard assessment route because it may “rock the boat.” Manufacturers fear they may need to retest their materials or products, or that they may end up with increased product liability and, ultimately, lose market share. In addition, such assessments may call on the authorities having jurisdiction to develop technical reasons to accept or reject a design. However, proper fire hazard assessment should back up proven designs that have been shown, through long-term use, to be safe. Proper assessment should also ensure that adequate safety is maintained and business continues as usual. Finally, fire hazard assessment offers opportunities for entrepreneurship, innovation, and ingenuity, characteristics that drive our markets.

    Notizen: Abstract A reduced scale ignition and flame spread technique, RIFT, was implemented in the cone calorimeter system to obtain thermocombustibility properties of enclosure lining materials during flame spread over the sample surface. Previously, a thermal model of ignition and opposed flow flame spread was used to analyze flame spread data obtained using RIFT. Here, a framework is discussed for deducing critical material combustibility parameters from the measured heat release and mass loss rates as the spreading flame proceeds to the point of flame extinction. The nature of the data and analytical framework allows users to deduce spreading flame flux from the heat release rate (HRR) and mass loss rate (MLR) data relatively economically and directly. The anomalies highlighted by comparing flame spread data in the RIFT system compared to data from the BS 476 Part 7 apparatus indicates that the RIFT system is well-suited for developing and refining models describing ignition, flame spread, and mass burning.

    Notizen: Abstract The amount of various pollutants per year emitted into the atmosphere from fires in Sweden is estimated. The pollutants considered in detail are CO2, CO, HCN, NOx, SO2, HCl, unburned hydrocarbons, and particulate matter. The emission of N2O, aromatic hydrocarbons, dioxins, and heavy metals, is discussed qualititavely. The estimate is based on the number of fires in buildings and vehicles in Sweden a typical year. Emissions from wildfires have not been included. The results indicate that the amount of combustible material consumed by fire each year is approximately 12 kton, although it should be noted that during certain years, industrial fires may inflate this number. The emission of particulate matter and unburned hydrocarbons is approximately equivalent to that expected from the combustion of 2 Mton of solid fuel in a combustion plant, corresponding to energy production of approximately 15 TWh, which is of the same order of magnitude as that expected from heavy transport in Sweden each year. The emission of the other species studied is negligible relative to other sources. Measurements of species that have not been studied in detail (such as dioxins) under realistic conditions are necessary for determining the amount of these species emitted per year.

    Notizen: Abstract A novel technique has been developed to accurately monitor levels of hose stream additives by adding a fluorescein tracer. A fluorescent agent system is proposed to control and monitor additives into hose streams. Fluorescent water streams also have the advantage of improved nighttime and low-light visibility. Poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) was shown in the 1960s to be very effective in fire hose streams, providing dramatic increases in hose stream pressure, reach, and volume. As is discussed in this paper, however, PEO fell into disrepute for firefighting operations. A reexamination strongly indicates the inaccuracy of previous misperceptions and indicates that PEO deserves reconsideration as being potentially powerful for greatly enhanced petroleum, ordnance, high-rise and impeded access firefighting, in which increased stand-off distances are desirable.

    Notizen: Abstract A simple laboratory apparatus is described for observing the performance of fire extinguishing agents in total flooding applications. Known compositions of agents mixed with dry air are prepared in a 2 L glass combustion flask, and a flame fed by propane, butane, or other gaseous fuel from a pressure cylinder is inserted into the flask through a standard taper joint. Burning times to extinguishment are measured, both in the absence and presence of added physical or chemical agents. From the known rate of propane burning and initial compositions, the percentages of gas volume in the combustion flask at extinguishment are calculated for each burning time. Agents that are not sufficiently volatile to be investigated with the ordinary cup burner method are readily studied with the new technique. An adiabatic flame temperature model previously used to correlate cup burner test results has been applied to obtain limiting agent percentages required for total flooding extinguishment and to accurately predict the effect on burning time of different concentrations of physical and chemical agents and other gases in the flask.

    Notizen: Abstract A reduced scale ignition and flame spread technique (RIFT) was implemented in the cone calorimeter test system to generate thermal and combustibility material response parameters normally associated with an intermediate scale test, LIFT. The magnitude of the parameters derived using RIFT compare favorably with those obtained using the standard LIFT apparatus. The results of the modified cone calorimetric system or RIFT can be used to generate more specific material combustibility characteristics associated with materials burning over time, helping to create and refine engineering models of solid phase combustion. When validated, such models would help us predict and control flame spread with more certainty.

    Notizen: Abstract This paper describes a new algorithm of the Consolidated Fire Growth and Smoke Transport (CFAST) fire model and compares the results with data from real-scale fire tests conducted aboard the ex-USS Shadwell, the U.S. Navy's Research and Development Damage Control Platform. The new phenomenon modeled in this work is the conduction of heat in the vertical direction. The Shadwell tests chosen for validation purposes were part of the Internal Ship Conflagration Control (ISCC) Program. The work focuses on four compartments of the ship that were vertically aligned. The temperatures of the compartments and the decks between them were compared with model predictions. The predictions were very close to the experimental results for all compartments, although the temperatures rise in the topmost compartment was barely above ambient.

    Notizen: Abstract The effects of a material's ignitor characteristics and burning duration on upward wall flame spread are investigated. The ignitor is represented as an energy line source. Its energy release rate and its duration after ignition are considered. The material is represented as a finite, thick noncharring material with properties representative of polymethylmethracrylate (PMMA). A Volterra integral equation is solved for upward flame speed by numerical methods, and a transient, noncharring burning rate model is included. Results show the influence on propagation of ignitor effects and material thickness. A propagation map is computed showing the domains of flames that spread and flames that stop. Criteria for propagation and how propagation affects fire growth are considered in a standard room-corner test.

The thermophysical properties of No Fire A, such as mass loss, rate of mass loss, specific heat, thermal conductivity, thermochemical expansion, permeability, and porosity, were characterized as a function temperature. Correlation models were obtained from these experimental data.

    Notizen: Abstract People may die from what some think to be “low” levels of carbon monoxide (CO) without implicating other toxic agents. This behavior is only now beginning to be identified and understood. Fire and nonfire CO incidents involve very different subsets of the population. Fire victims are characteristically the old and the young. On the other hand, automotive CO accidents or suicides tend to involve predominantly 20- to 50-year-old men. In both populations, a substantial minority have significant blood alcohol levels, although fire victims with alcohol in their blood tend to have higher levels of it than do nonfire victims. Alcohol at levels less than 0.3% protects against CO poisoning, although being drunk may have gotten the victim into the incident in the first place. However, a 50% threshold of carboxy hemoglobin (COHb) does not exist in lethal levels of CO. CO toxicity is not due simply to the reduced oxygen-carrying capacity of the blood. A victim with 25% COHb may die purely of CO. This paper presents an analysis of the reasons for and the significance of these observations.

    Notizen: Abstract Within the framework of HAZARD I, fire egress analysis is performed using the EXITT program. Yet another way to analyze fire egress employs newly developed multiple objective dynamic programming. This paper compares these two approaches by applying them to a model fire of moderate power in a residential building. The findings demonstrate that multiple objective dynamic programming can compute all the paths EXITT finds, but EXITT can't find all the paths multiple objective programming can. Some trade-offs inherent in choosing among the computed egress paths are discussed, and the features of the two fire egress methods are contrasted.

    Notizen: Abstract In most fire investigations, fire damage patterns provide important clues regarding the origin and cause of the fire. Historically, many fire investigations have relied on intuition to interpret fire patterns, the results of which have often been inconsistent with scientific principles. NFPA 921, Guide for Fire and Explosion Investigations, which advocates the scientific method for forensic investigations, includes a summary of many fire patterns and interprets them based on scientific disciplines such as fire dynamics, heat transfer, and materials science. But NFPA 921 does not address the fire pattern that appears on upholstered furniture when it is first item ignited. In this study, a test program was conducted to determine the nature and extent of fire patterns on upholstered furniture caused by smoldering versus flaming ignition sources. Smoldering fire patterns tended to consist of char zones with a thickness equal to that of the fuel element. Conversely, flaming fire patterns had thin char zones with thicknesses much smaller than the thickness of the fuel element. After a smolder-to-flame transition, the fire patterns created by smoldering were rapidly destroyed by the flames and replaced by flaming fire patterns. In nine tests out of ten, the origin of the fire was coincident with the location of burnthrough (a penetration caused by the consumption of a fuel element) in the upholstered furniture item. However, asymmetric flame spread caused by unusual construction features could lead to burnthroughs in other locations. A burnthrough was observed in all six tests in which a transition from smoldering to flaming fire behavior occurred. Only in earliest stage of the ignition sequence will the physical evidence of the ignition source—smoldering or flaming—be preserved. Thus, to determine the cause of a fire, the investigator may need to rely on a consideration not only of fire pattern observations but also the human and environmental factors which may have contributed to the ignition event. This is an approach often called system safety.

    Notizen: Abstract The term “finish rating” is used in NFPA 70, National Electrical Code (NEC)1 to describe the required performance of finish materials installed as thermal barriers for electrical nonmetallic tubing. Finish rating data is most commonly associated with assemblies containing combustible wood framing, although the definition has also been extended to assemblies with noncombustible metal framing. To date, however, very little finish rating data has been available for common finish materials installed over metal framing. To supplement the available information, finish rating tests were conducted on identical wall sections finished with standard 1/2″ gypsum wallboard from five different manufacturers, constructed with metal and wood stud framing. All 10 assemblies tested demonstrated finish ratings of 15 minutes or more.

    Notizen: Abstract This experimental study was performed to determine the effects of wood pyrolyzing in a high-temperature, vitiated compartment upper layer on the environment inside the compartment and an adjacent hallway. This was done by comparing species concentrations and temperature measurements from tests with and without wood in the compartment upper layer. Experiments were performed with a window-type opening and a door-type opening between the compartment and the hallway. In these tests, the wood in the compartment upper layer caused CO concentrations inside the compartment to increase, on average, to 10.1% dry, which is approximately 3 times higher than levels measured without wood in the upper layer. Down the hallway 3.6 m from the compartment with wood in the upper layer, CO concentrations were measured to be as high as 2.5% dry. The use of the global equivalence ratio concept to predict species formation in a compartment was explored for situations where wood or other fuels pyrolyze in a vitiated upper layer at a high temperature.

    Notizen: Abstract Recrystallization of the anthelmintic drug mebendazole from propionic acid yields a 1:1 molecular complex which crystallizes in the triclinic system space group $${P\bar 1}$$ , a = 5.928(2), b = 11.066(2), c = 14.337(6)Å, α = 94.89(3), β = 101.56(3), γ = 96.18(2)°, and Z = 2 complex units in the unit cell. An x-ray diffraction study revealed an R 2 2 (8) hydrogen bonding system in the complex, involving the unprotonated imidazole N and amide N–H function of the drug and the acid carboxylic group. Complex molecules form centrosymmetric dimers by intermolecular N–H···O hydrogen bonding involving the protonated imidazole N atom and the benzoyl O atom of the drug molecule.

In general, molecules are linked by N–H···S hydrogen bonds with sulfurs accepting two or three hydrogen bonds. Structures 2 and 3, which adopt the syn conformation, form N–H···N intramolecular hydrogen bonds. The solid-state structures are consistent with their infrared and proton nuclear magnetic resonance spectra.

    Notizen: Abstract The structure of the retro-isomer of ferrioxamine E sesqui-hydrate, a ferrioxamine E analog in which the N-hydroxy and carbonyl functions are transposed, was found to be isomorphous with that of ferrioxamine E. The interchange of N and C atoms in the three hydroxamate groups seemed to have caused some noticeable differences in the iron-coordination octahedron. The difference in the average Fe–O(N) and Fe–O(C) distances in the retro-isomer, 0.061Å, is about one-half of that observed in case of ferrioxamine E, 0.102Å. The ligand bite of the two complexes is similar (1.27), the retro-isomer has a smaller (42°) twist angle than that (45°) of ferrioxamine E. Crystal data: C27H45N6O9Fe·1.5H2O, triclinic, $${P\bar 1}$$ , a = 19.816(8), b = 10.567(8), c = 7.973(5)Å, α = 106.54(6), β = 94.99(7), γ = 97.92(6)°, V = 1571.1(12)Å3, Z = 2, D calc = 1.439g/cm3·λ = 0.71073Å.

    Notizen: Abstract The title compound, Cu(glyglygly)Br·1·5H2O, crystallizes in the space group C2/c, with a = 21.468(7), b = 6.716(5), c = 16.166(6) Å, β = 98.39°, and Z = 8. The tripeptide is bonded to one Cu(II) ion through the nitrogen [Cu–N=1.97(1)Å] and oxygen [Cu–O=2.019(8)Å] atoms of the amino end glycine residue and to another Cu(II) through one oxygen atom [Cu–O=1.931(9)Å] of the terminal carboxyl group. This give rise to covalently bonded and infinite ···–Cu–tripeptide–Cu–··· chains. These chains are linked to one another by a network of H-bonds involving the water molecules and bromide ions. The Cu(II) ion is in a distorted tetragonal pyramidal coordination polyhedron. At the corner of the base of the pyramid are the terminal glycine nitrogen and oxygen atoms of one tripeptide, a carboxylic oxygen of another tripeptide and a bromide ion. The fivefold coordination is completed with a water molecule at the top of the pyramid [Cu–Ow=2.286(9)Å]. For all orientations of the applied magnetic field the single crystal EPR spectra display a single anisotropic exchange collapsed resonance without hyperfine structure. Its position was measured in three perpendicular planes and the crystal g-tensor evaluated from the data. This tensor is interpreted in terms of the contributing Cu(II) complexes in the unit cell to deduce the principal values g1 = 2.273, g2 = 2.050 and g3 = 2.131 for the molecular gyromagnetic tensor. We also discuss the magnitude of the exchange interaction between neighboring copper ions in the lattice on the basis of the features in the EPR spectra and the structural information.
