Basement

My active life and work were unexpectedly affected by two serious illnesses that I fought in 1979 and 1982. We spent the first two years in TA in temporary laboratories in the basement of an old science building, where I also had my office on the ground floor above the... 

I still did not have suitable low-temperature instrumentation of my own to carry out the low-temperature NMR studies, but Martin Saunders at Yale did. Thus our samples now traveled the Massachusetts Turnpike from Boston to New Haven, where with Marty we were able to study solutions of the norbornyl cation at increasingly lower temperatures using his home-built variable-temperature NMR instrumentation housed in the basement of the old Yale chemistry building. We... 

Quartz-Pebble Conglomerate Deposits. Known quartz-pebble conglomerate ores are restricted to a specific period of geologic time. These ore types occur in basal Lower Proterozoic beds unconformably situated above Archaean basement rocks composed of granitic and metamorphic strata. A number of commercial deposits are located in Canada and South Africa. Some subeconomic occurrences have been reported in Brazil and India... 

If the density of a vapor is greater than air, as is the case with most gases and vapors encountered in industry, flammable concentrations may collect at low levels, such as at floor level or in basements, and can travel considerable distances to a source of ignition and the flames will then flash back. 

Cylinders within workplaces should be restricted to those gases in use. Specially designed compartments with partitions may be required to protect people in the event of explosion. Take into account emergency exits, steam or hot water systems, the proximity of other processes etc. Consider the possibility of dense gases accumulating in drains, basements, cable ducts, lift shafts etc.

Airway cross-sections have the nominal anatomy shown in Fig. 5.16. Airway surface liquid (AST), primarily composed of mucus gel and water, surrounds the airway lumen with a thickness thought to vary from 5 to 10 mm. AST lies on the apical surface of airway epithelial cells (mostly columnar ciliated epithelium). This layer of cells, roughly two to three cells thick in proximal airways and eventually thinning to a single cell thickness in distal airways, rests along a basement membrane on its basal surface. Connective tissue (collagen fibers, basement membranes, elastin, and water) lies between the basement membrane and airway smooth muscle. Edema occurs when the volume of water within the connective tissue increases considerably. Interspersed within the smooth muscle are respiratory supply vessels (capillaries, arteriovenous anastomoses), nerves, and lymphatic vessels.

The rupture discs on some water compressors were allov/ed to discharge inside a building as the water was clean. However, by the time it had drained down through several floors to the basement of the building, it had dissolved some solid material that had been spilt on one of the intervening floors and became hazardous. Discs had failed on several occasions, for unknown reasons. Possible causes were vibration, hammer pressure, and low-cycle fatigue.
