Standards Administration 2 of 371 National Fire Protection Association Report https://submittals.nfpa.org/TerraViewWeb/ContentFetcher?commentPar... Public Input No. 41-NFPA 2001-2018 [ Global Input ] Type your content here ...Annex F Pure N2 Nitrogen Performance and Applications How a cloud of cohesive, pure, inert, cryogenically cold to start, N2 Nitrogen ends fires Evaporated from liquid Nitrogen which is a liquid clear as water but flows like Mercury, the Nitrogen gas cloud has the same affinity for its own molecules as the liquid allowing it to form a transparent space in a smoke-filled environment by displacing Oxygen, water, Carbon dioxide, toxins, and smoke particles thus staying pure and transparent. This cloud ends the flames because there is no Oxygen where the cloud exists. And starting at cryogenic temperature, -195.8oC., it cools the fuels. The original size of the cloud is 230 times the volume of the evaporated liquid. As it cools the fuel, it expands to 250 times the liquid volume at ambient temperatures and heating to inferno temperatures it becomes 600 to 700 times the volume. The volume increase causes the cloud to be lighter weight so it rises in the air. As the winds in the fire exist, it is wind driven. The winds move it cross-wise and the cooling causes it to rise upward. As the cloud of evaporated Nitrogen moves, it stays together, not losing volume and not being dissipated because of its inertness as N2, double Nitrogen molecules. Where the cloud has been, no flames exist unless or until the cooled fuels which, still within re-ignition temperature, start to flicker little flames. In outdoor fires including wildland fires and structure fires having escaping burning embers extinguished halts fire expansion. With the flames out, smoke production ends. With re-ignition, there is but a trickle of smoke until its expansion speeds up. Another Nitrogen application ends this fire. The area where the fire occurred, if controlled with evaporated Nitrogen clouds, has no residual material left by the fire suppressant since Nitrogen leaves the fire moving into the air where it mixes with the atmosphere which has 78% (N2)Nitrogen content. Recovery is limited to replacing what burned away, melted, warped or charred. One finds no water damage, no electrical arcing leaving electrical and electronics equipment functional unless it was in the fire. Food, paper and fabrics not in the fire are in usable condition and can be eaten, worn, walked on, sat upon and used. The smell of smoke is removed using Febreze ™ (Proctor and Gamble). Stored liquid Nitrogen does dissipate in large cryogenic containers at 1% per day and in smaller units as much as 10% per day. This going cost of replenishment assures less loss were a fire event to occur, less recovery time, and possibly lower insurance rates. Nitrogen use also can handle crises events as spills, overheating, and flooding. This evaporated Nitrogen as a fire suppressant differs from all other means of fire control because it is the only cohesive cloud. Helium, Neon, Argon, and even compressed Nitrogen gas also are inert, but they form no cohesive clouds, but rather lower the Oxygen percentage in the air by mixing with the air when released in the pure state. Other molecules as carbon dioxide dissipate by photosynthesis or, in the case of water, condensing making clouds and wetting things down and dissolving salts. In fire fighting as water puddles it is useless in fire control. Also, below 0oC. water is ice which must be melted to be useful. Water is a fire suppressant as a liquid or extremely o hot steam. Nitrogen (N2), a gas from -195.8 C through inferno temperatures, always displaces Oxygen and other atoms and molecules which ends flames, and cools fuels that are hotter than the Nitrogen gas encountered. As it cools, Nitrogen gas warms expanding its volume and making the cloud ride higher and higher in the air space. When it escapes the fire and cools to match the air, it mixes into the atmosphere sustaining the 78% Nitrogen level. The Nitrogen had been removed from the atmosphere in the liquefaction process. After fire use, it is returned. Evaporated Nitrogen does not reduce air Oxygen ratio as other gas fire suppressants do. It displaces Oxygen and stays pure pushing Oxygen aside, ending flames. Finally, the term rain was defined in the patent process for the Liquid Nitrogen Enabled, patent USP 7,631,506 as releasing liquid Nitrogen through perforated pan, cap or trough, as falling by gravity. My patent attorneys, the late, brilliant Christopher J. Kukowski and Jim Boyle of Boyle Fredrickson 3 of 371 1 of 176 3/15/2019, 10:45 AM National Fire Protection Association Report https://submittals.nfpa.org/TerraViewWeb/ContentFetcher?commentPar... SC of Milwaukee and examiner William C. Doerrler worked out the necessities for issuance. Falling by gravity, water falls as rain, snow, sleet, hail, compared to dew and frost which condense from water vapor onto solid items in the air. Liquid Nitrogen, as the patent states, falls as drops through a matrix of small holes by gravity creating the evaporated Nitrogen gas cloud as here described. We call this cryorain since the original cloud starts at liquid Nitrogen temperature as these drops fall and evaporate forming the evaporated pure Nitrogen N2 molecule, cohesive, inert, cryogenically cold cloud which retains purity by displacing all other gases and airborne particles and ending the flames as it moves in the fire rising as it warms when cooling the fuel. And use of Nitrogen here described saves the portion of fresh water normally expended in water fire control for community and agricultural applications. Patent USP7,631,506 covers all uses of evaporated Nitrogen and rights are in place until December 15, 2029. It is assigned to AirWars Defense lp and will be licensed to CryoRain Inc. where the short term transport and dispersing tools will be made. This evaporated Nitrogen adds both the thermal factor and its cohesive purity to handling crises ending fires instantly, stopping floods, solidifying spills to be skimmed up, preventing ordnance from exploding, and handling criminal situations saving all, restraining criminals and freeing innocents, preserving their homes and communities. This changes fire control, law enforcement and defense department practices. It reduces the migration levels as they flee the ruins in the Middle East. Ending coal mine fires in-situ does not disturb surface features and can halt sea level rise by year 2021. The fires ended no longer perpetually heat the earth's crust which cradles now cooled oceans so less snow mass melts, and tops the mountains allowing glaciers to grow. Freeze fracking oil shale and hot Nitrogen extracting fuel stops man made earthquakes, ends ground water contamination, and yields cleaner fuel and separating the fuel types at well locations. Our fresh water is preserved when Nitrogen is used in fighting fires.

At general level we can observe a weak social virtual responsibility among young people. Behind an avatar, they feel free to experiment, without any awareness of the real life impact. The general need of socialization of the young people, in the context of modern technology and social networks development, facilitated also the development of the virtual threats, at social, personal and professional level. Thus, in the last years, the number of cyber bulling cases increased dramatically, especially those cases where the young people were the victims. safelink 4 Activities and methodology y During the youth exchange, the young participant will get involved in activities special designed to contribute to their self development, most of them based on non formal education methods with a big impact on their intercultural learning process and many other active and creative methods, games or exercises meant to facilitate the transfer of knowledge and the exchange between participants. 5 08:30 - 09:30 Breakfast 17:00 - 17:30 Coffee break 10:00 - 11:30 1st working session 17:30 - 19:00 4th working session timetable / 11:30 - 12:00 Coffee break 19:00 - 19:30 Reflection groups 12:00 - 13:30 2nd working session 19:30 - 20:30 Dinner 13:30 - 15:30 Lunch break 21:00 - 22:00 Evening activities working session 15:30 - 17:00 3rd session Arriving day (10/11/2019): We will start after dinner with [GET TO KNOW EACH OTHER GAMES] and continue with an [welcome party] Day 1 (11/11/2019): AM: [Project’s presentation, Get to know each other games] [Teambuilding games] PM: [Expectations, Contributions, Fears.

  • Presencing the Slovenian-Hungarian Border in Goričko and the Rába Valley
    Acta Ethnographica Hungarica 65(2), 355–378 (2020) DOI: 10.1556/022.2020.00015 “Eyes Have No Border”. Presencing the Slovenian-Hungarian Border in Goričko and the Rába Valley Received: April 16, 2020 • Accepted: June 23, 2020 Ingrid Slavec Gradišnik – Katalin Munda Hirnök ZRC SAZU Institute of Slovenian Ethnology, Ljubljana – Institute for Ethnic Studies, Ljubljana Abstract: The article draws on the written and oral memories of people living along the border between Slovenia (Goričko in Prekmurje) and Hungary (the Rába Valley). They are presented as comments on a century-long process of political changes in this borderland and demonstrate a plethora of ways in which border shifts intrude on people’s everyday lives. People’s concern with the border is reflected in the fact that it is a topic that emerges in any conversation with individuals living next to it, whether in the context of work, family, daily errands or stories of the past and present. In this article, informed by two concepts–border and memory– we present memories and perceptions of the border as they are expressed in casual comments or observations and semi-structured conversations with interviewees in the field. Life in borderlands is always localized, and there are visible divergences in the experience of the border on the Slovenian and Hungarian side. In Prekmurje, historical events along the border, especially the post-Trianon one, and the memory of these events are perpetuated through anniversaries of the annexation of Prekmurje to the Kingdom of SCS, whereas in the Rába Valley, memories especially relate to the Iron Curtain period.

  • Legal Rules Applicable to the Equitable Maritime Boundaries Delimitation in the Eastern Mediterranean Sea: an Egyptian Perspective
    Legal Rules Applicable to the Equitable Maritime Boundaries Delimitation in the Eastern Mediterranean Sea: An Egyptian Perspective Ibrahim Ahmed EL Diwany United Nations – The Nippon Foundation of Japan Fellowship Programme 2018 Disclaimer The views expressed herein are those of the author and do not necessarily reflect the views of the United Nations, The Nippon Foundation of Japan, The Government of the Arab Republic of Egypt or Utrecht University. Abstract The Eastern Mediterranean Sea Basin is a semi-enclosed Sea bordered by ten States. The growing economic interests in the basin natural resources have motivated the basin States to claim jurisdiction over its exclusive economic zones and continental shelves. The absence of defined maritime boundaries, in this confined basin with numerous islands, have generated contesting claims between basin States on the overlapping undelimited maritime areas. The majority of maritime boundaries in the Eastern Mediterranean Sea are not delimited yet. Only four maritime boundaries, out of seventeen potential boundaries, were delimited by agreements. The delimitation of maritime boundaries in the basin is vital. It establishes legal certainty to maritime boundaries that enables basin States to exercise safely their sovereignty rights for exploring and exploiting their natural resources in their maritime areas. The research paper aims to identify the legal rules and principles governing maritime boundaries delimitation in the Eastern Mediterranean Sea Basin and its application on the delimitation of Egypt’s maritime boundaries with opposite and adjacent States. It explores in the first part the “equidistance/special circumstances” rule applicable for the delimitation of the territorial sea, the “agreement/equitable result” rule applicable for the delimitation of the extended maritime zones and the “equidistance/relevant circumstances” rule considered in recent jurisprudence.

  • Maritime Boundaries Delimitation, Management and Dispute Resolution
    MARITIME BOUNDARIES DELIMITATION, MANAGEMENT AND DISPUTE RESOLUTION DELIMITATION OF THE MOZAMBIQUE MARITIME BOUNDARIES WITH NEIGHBOURING STATES (INCLUDING THE EXTENDED CONTINENTAL SHELF) AND THE MANAGEMENT OF OCEAN ISSUES ELÍSIO BENEDITO JAMINE The United Nations and Nippon Fellowship Programme 2006-2007 Division for Ocean Affairs and the Law of the Sea Office of Legal Affairs United Nations, NY, USA ABSTRACT The Law of the Sea Convention (LOSC) establishes the jurisdictional regimes under which a coastal State can claim, manage, and utilize its ocean resources. With an increasing recognition of the need to administer competing resource use interests in the ocean and seabed, and the requirement to ensure sustainable exploitation of these resources, Mozambique has an ambitious program for the establishment of its maritime boundaries, including the outer limits of its extended Continental Shelf (CS). Mozambique faces the problem of lack of delimitation and negotiation of the maritime boundaries, connected to the lack of a comprehensive framework for management of maritime issues, lack of appropriate technology to quantify, qualify, and exploit the resources that lie in the sea, and lack of means by which to exercise and guarantee its sovereign rights. These problems obstruct the Mozambican State, as a sovereign subject of international law of the sea (LOS), from being able to take independent initiatives in pursuit of her internal and external policy objectives. The lack of delimitation of the maritime boundaries appears as a constraint for the State. Mozambique is not in a position to exercising all her rights and duties in accordance with LOSC with respect to jurisdiction and the exercise of sovereignty in these spaces.

  • Use of Gaseous Suppression Systems in High Air Flow Environments – Phase 1 FINAL REPORT
    Use of Gaseous Suppression Systems in High Air Flow Environments – Phase 1 FINAL REPORT PREPARED BY: Eric Forssell Jensen Hughes Baltimore, MD, USA © September 2015 Fire Protection Research Foundation FIRE PROTECTION RESEARCH FOUNDATION ONE BATTERMARCH PARK | QUINCY, MASSACHUSETTS, USA 02169-7471 E-MAIL: [email protected] | WEB: WWW.NFPA.ORG/FOUNDATION — — Page ii — — FOREWORD Information-technology and telecommunications (IT/telecom) facilities provide critical services in today’s world. From a risk standpoint, the indirect impact of fire loss due to business interruption and loss of critical operations, sometimes geographically very distant from the IT/telecom facility itself, can far outweigh the direct property loss. In the past few years, there have been dramatic changes in the equipment housed in these facilities, which have placed increased demands on HVAC systems. As a result, engineered-airflow containment solutions are being introduced to enhance heat extraction and increase energy efficiency. From the perspective of fire-suppression system design, the use of airflow containment systems creates areas of high-air velocities within an increasingly obstructed equipment space, which could affect the effectiveness of transport of suppression agents throughout the protected volume. Requirements related to use of gaseous-agent fire extinguishing systems in IT/telecom facilities are directly addressed by NFPA 75, Standard for the Fire Protection of Information Technology Equipment, and NFPA 76, Standard for the Fire Protection of Telecommunications Facilities. NFPA 75, 2013 edition, addresses these issues related to gaseous agent systems in several places. 5.6.7 Where aisle containment systems are installed, the existing suppression and detection systems shall be evaluated, modified, and tested as necessary to maintain compliance with the applicable codes and standards.
