In science, all hypotheses must withstand the trial-by-fire of experiment; its methodology is self-correcting and objective, unconcerned with petty prejudices or personal conviction.
Which mercifully takes us, Mr. Palomar and Italo Calvino beyond the impasse of solipsism, the distrust of language and the frigid fires of "experiment". There may be a problem of knowledge, but the consciousness only comes alive to this problem by suffering those constant irrepressible appetites for experience which want to rampage beyond the prison of the self.
As Hippocrates observed, "quacks wickedly hate help," and they don't like to have their feet held to the fire of systematic experiments either.
A fire simulation experiment of a full-scale room unit model was carried out to study the fire safety of lightweight glue-laminated bamboo (glubam) frame buildings.
This paper reports a series of fire spread experiments conducted across a porous bed of excelsior in a large-scale facility, under both no-slope and 30° up-slope conditions.
The percentage reduction in the content of the pollutants during firing was assessed in a representative number of ternary mixes (of clay, FSD and WS) selected using mixture design of experiments, fired simulating the industrial firing cycles used to obtain the products, and correlated to the acid gas emissions.
This test forms part of the Dalmarnock Fire Tests, a series of experiments conducted in 2006 in a high-rise building.
To understand the effects of these factors on the fire performance, Taguchi design of experiments (DoE) method is employed and preferred combinations of factors are determined using a one-step and a proposed two-step GLM ANOVA.
In 1737 Du Châtelet entered a competition to explain the nature of fire, conducting her experiments in secret while Voltaire also conducted experiments for his entry to the competition.
The thermal models were further validated through the simulation of previous fire resistance experiments on multicellular slab panels.
A series of firing experiments have been conducted on lab-scale hybrid rocket motors with 98% hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) oxidizer and hydroxyl terminated polybutadiene (HTPB) based fuels in this paper.
