Fire pictures

Lance-work is so popular that it readily comes to mind when we think of exhibition fireworks. The technique creates lines of fire by the linear arrangement of lances at short intervals. The technique is used to produce a portrait, a scene, letters etc. as it comes under the heading of illuminations. 

Once assembled, the lance-frame is ignited at one end of the quick match, when the fire will run through the tube igniting all the lances instantaneously. The burning time of the lances is about one minute, and the picture appears only for this time. The end of the fire picture is generally ragged due to deviations in the burning time of each lance. 

To avoid this effect, a star-mine of many small flowers can be fired at the same time, to attract the attention of the crowd from the fire picture. In Japan we often see a large background display which contains 12 inch shells and in these circumstances the lance-work looks like a sub-display.

In 1974 survivors submitted drawings and sketches ot their memory ot the atomic bombing in unexpected response to a request from nhk, Japan s national broadcasting corporation. Many of these drawings, done three decades after the event, were published in Unforgettable Fire Pictures Drawn by the Atomic Bomb Survivors, ed. Japan Broadcasting Corporation (nhk), trans. World Friendship Center in Hiroshima (New York Pantheon Books, 1977). All are reproduced courtesy of the Hiroshima Peace Culture Foundation.

An electron microscope picture of dislocation lines in stainless steel. The picture was taken by firing electrons through a very thin slice of steel about lOOnm thick. The dislocation lines here ore only about 1000 atom diameters long because they have been chopped off where they meet the top and bottom surfaces of the thin slice. But a sugar-cube-sized piece of ony engineering alloy contains about 10 km of dislocation line. (Courtesy of Dr. Peter Southwick.)... 

A number of studies have shown that adenosine inhibits neuronal firing both in vitro and in vivo and is itself released during intense neuronal activity. It can protect against PTZ seizures in rodents while the antagonist theophylline is proconvulsant. No clear picture of its role in human epilepsy has emerged. 

Knowing the impact of smoke toxic potency on escape from a fire is of sufficient importance that it has been the subject of research for over twenty years. As a result, we now have a realistic picture of proper contexts for the use of toxic potency data and a series of first-generation tools for measuring it. We also have a vision of the key technical issues to be resolved developing a proper small-scale fire simulator, relating rodent results to people, and validating the small-scale data.

A common picture in any book describing our Stone Age forebears shows short, hairy people crouched, warming themselves round a flickering fire. In fact, fire was one of the first chemical reactions discovered by our prehistoric ancestors. Primeval fire was needed for warmth. Cooking and warding off dangerous animals with fire was a later discovery . 

A fire risk assessment should be documented to provide a clear overall picture of the possible fire hazards and the role safety systems play in hazard control and mitigation. Also, a fire risk assessment should be maintained evergreen during the lifecycle of the facility to ensure ongoing management of fire hazards. 

CCTV technology is used to analyze digital images and identify the characteristics of a fire. CCTV can provide both a control action and display the picture in a staffed control room. The latter has a particular benefit as it allows very rapid incident assessment and also reduces the need for personnel to enter the area to investigate the fire conditions. In general terms, the CCTV flame detection system is comprised of three basic components the camera/detection element, the control panel, and the display computers.
