The cross-sectional association between each exposure and FEV1, defined as the best of three satisfactory measurements, was analysed using multiple linear regression controlling for sex, age, age squared, smoking status, pack-years of cigarettes smoked, height, Carstairs deprivation score and age-height interaction.
This agreement indicates that fv,max and smoke height are equivalent measures of sooting tendency and that YSI is largely apparatus-independent.
aAdjusted for age, height, ever smoked, diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, heart disease, and asthma.
BMI, WHR, total fat ratio, and trunk-fat ratio were each significantly associated with leptin (all P < 0.001) after adjustment for age, sex, height, ever smoked, diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, cardiovascular disease, and asthma (data not shown), whereas only total fat and trunk-fat ratios were also associated with IL-6 (both P < 0.05).
From the results, a correlation is presented for adhered spill plumes in atria without downstand, relating the smoke extraction rate to the smoke free height in the atrium.
Height appeared to have the greatest single impact, with a multivariate model, including height, pack-years smoked, and TCpO2 substantially attenuating the ethnic difference in nerve function, losing statistical significance (P = 0.2).
When both the maternal grandmother and the mother had smoked (MGM+M+) girls had reduced height, weight, and fat/lean/bone mass when compared with girls born to smoking mothers whose own mothers had not smoked (MGM−M+).
The volumetric fuel flow at the smoke point is observed to scale as a power law with pressure, while the smoke point height is best described by a log law with pressure.
An important design criterion is the smoke free height in the atrium.
Application to any fuel is made by accounting only for the sooting tendency employing the laminar smoke point height of the fuel.
The feasibility of using the N-percentage rule to determine the fire smoke layer height in a naturally ventilated space was also investigated.
