Domestic accommodation

Polyurethane foams do, however, suffer from one serious disadvantage. Unless modified they bum with copious evolution of smoke and toxic by-products, which has led to a number of fatal fires, particularly in domestic accommodation. To some extent the problem may be reduced by suitable upholstery covering, but as mentioned on p. 775 a number of countries have now made mandatory the use of fire retardent additives. At the time of writing there is considerable activity in the development of new safer systems, particularly in the use of amino materials such as melamine as additives. Further developments may also be expected in the near future. 

The scheme can be simplified for small installations, such as most domestic accommodation, small shops and offices with only a few circuits for a cooker, water heater, lighting and socket outlets fed from a consumer unit. For instance, if a circuit diagram is not available, a circuit schedule may be used and the inspections and tests carried out as recommended by BS 7671 at intervals of five years and ten years for domestic installations. Portable and transportable equipment should be routinely inspected, with hand-held portable items being tested at a suitable frequency. 

Extensive available level sites have sometimes previously accommodated gas works, chemical works, munitions factories, or industrial or domestic refuse tips. These sites require special consideration as regards protection of the stmcture to be built, the constmction workforce and the building occupants. 

Aluminium pipes Aluminium might become an important material for carrying water if its liability to pitting corrosion could be overcome. Very soft waters are difficult to accommodate when normal pipe materials are used, and it is for these that aluminium offers most promise ". The possibility of using it for domestic water pipes, however, appears at present to depend upon finding a cheap and effective inhibitor that could be added to the water, or upon the use of internally clad tube, e.g. Al-1 25 Mn alloy clad with a more anodic alloy, such as Al-lZn. Such pipes are at present mainly used for irrigation purposes. ...

All of the a-lactalbumins have the structurally important cystine bridges in the same positions 6—120, 28-111, 61-77, and 73-91. This is also the case for the equivalent positions in all c-type lysozymes— human numbering 6—128, 30—116, 65—81, and 77—95 domestic hen egg-white numbering 6—127, 30—115, 64—80, and 76—94. However, when the sequence of echidna lysozyme I was determined, this was no longer true (Teahan et ai, 1986, 1990). There is no Cys at position 6 it occurs at position 9. The accommodation of this Cys in the structure is discussed elsewhere (Acharya et al., 1989). 

One of the considerations in selecting a site is whether or not the site is in a free trade zone (FTZ) and whether or not the FIZ meets the company s needs. FTZs are secured areas within the United States but they are legally considered outside the company s territory. The purpose is to attract and promote international trade and commerce. Foreign and domestic goods may be stored, manufactured, and processed duty-free in the FTZ, which is typically a fenced-in area with warehouse facilities and industrial park space and access to aU modes of transportation. Subzones, which fall beyond the perimeter of the public zone, are set up to accommodate industries that satisfy spedflc government criteria (e.g. abihty to generate public benefit through employment). 

The simplest applicator is a rectangular metal box that can accommodate the target load. When microwaves are launched into such a box via a waveguide launcher, the waves undergo multiple reflections from the walls. The reflected waves interfere and establish a distribution of electrical held within the internal space (including the load) which, within the band of frequencies, correspond to many different stable modes of oscillations. And for this reason it is called a multi-mode applicator. The most common example of such a device is a cavity in domestic microwave oven. 

If it is thought that there might be some deiay in fire being detected, automatic fire detection should be considered, linked into an electrical fire alarm system. Where a workplace provides sleeping accommodation or where fires may develop undetected, automatic detection must be provided. If a workplace provides sleeping accommodation for fewer than six people, interlinked domestic smoke alarms (wired to the mains electricity supply) can be used provided that they are audible throughout the workplace while people are present. 

In addition to all places of work the Regulations apply to common parts of shared buildings, industrial estates and business parks to temporary works sites including construction to home working (but not to domestic work in a private household) to hotels, hostels and sheltered accommodation. 

In summary, to accommodate both domestic and international demand for fresh produce, cold chain infrastructure, transport facilities and its management must be improved in China. Moreover, the need and demand for tightly-focused, efficient logistics services will escalate, given the expected rises in the volume of external trade and domestic distribution induced by China s WTO accession. 

In the foreword there is a useful reminder that an operational manual has to be prepared and supplied to the customer so that he is aware of any use limitations and is instructed in the safe operation and maintenance of the installation. This is a requirement of section 6 of the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act for the protection of all workers except domestic servants in private accommodation. Anyone, however, may seek redress if they are injured or their property is damaged by a faulty installation under the Consumer Protection Act 1987, where the provision of safety instructions is a factor taken into consideration. So the manual should be provided for installations in all premises. 

What we see in the history of Birsay is an uneasy accommodation between defence and domesticity. Coriolanus too is steeped in language which brings together the familiar (and indeed the familial) and the warlike in tense juxtaposition. A striking early instance of this comes in First Citizen s riposte to Menenius attempt to mystify political distinctions and spin a tale of civic harmony by his fable of the body ...
