Answer: Temperature rise doors are used in stairwells. In the case of fire on one side of the door, the unexposed side of the door must remain below 450 degrees F for 30 minutes. This type of door is required on all fire rated stairwell doors (SBC 705.1.3.4). The reason for this requirement is to protect escaping occupants. A standard metal door exposed to fire can reach 1200 degrees F on the unexposed side, and this amount of heat could cause clothes on an exiting occupant to catch on fire.

A fire door that by code, meets a maximum unexposed surface temperature requirement at a specified time interval during the fire test. (i.e. 250 deg @ 30 minutes) See similar questions...

Answer: It is the industry's highest rating for this type of space heating equipment and allows us to deliver the maximum amount of heat with the minimum amount of outside air. The maximum 160°F temperature rise/discharge temperature rating is crucial because it translates into lower horsepower motors, less outside air and reduced energy costs. See similar questions...

Answer: From May to October it's usually around 30?C (88?F) at any depth. November to April it's a bit cooler, somewhere around 22?C to 25?C (72?F-77?F). It's more variable in the wintertime and there can be thermoclines. See similar questions...

Acoustic foams, which are thermally insulating - may act to insulate components so that heat is not so easily transmitted to the case sides and top and bottom for dissipation to the outside. This may cause slight increases in temperature. The configuration of the materials around the case interior and components may also be such that airflow pathways become more tortuous. This is only likely where materials have been fitted incorrectly so that they obstruct airflow - which is NOT recommended. See similar questions...

A transformer’s rated temperature rise (degrees Celsius) is the average temperature of the transformer’s windings over an ambient temperature of 40°C. In other words, the average winding temperature = ambient temperature rise. See similar questions...

Touch is a poor indicator of proper transformer operating temperature. Properly designed transformers can reach 50°C (122°F) above ambient temperature. In an ambient temperature of 20°C (60°F), the total temperature can reach 70°C (190°F), which is too hot to touch. Thermometers are the best way to determine the temperature.

None that could be identified. While it is possible that some organizations have such a list, the existence of any official or unofficial list has not been publicized. No comprehensive list or database of NSS exists. However, it is recommended that individual organizations maintain a list or database of their own NSS. See similar questions...

ANSWER: For one, because the cost of the raw product has gone up. Crude oil accounts for about 50% of the wholesale cost of a gallon of heating oil. When crude prices rise, this affects everything from heating oil, gasoline, propane and even natural gas prices. As of this writing, crude oil is up 77% over last year. In addition, world demand is higher. Rapid industrial development in China, India and other developing countries, combined with the economic recovery in the U.S. See similar questions...

Here's how this works, so you can understand how things are for me. When you came to my site, you probably clicked on something you saw on Google or MSN or where-ever. Whenever you clicked, Google, MSN, etc charged me something like 30 cents. Now if you take that 30 cents and multiply it times 100 people per day or so, that's $30 per day. There are 30 days in a month, so 30 x 30 is around $900 bucks per month that I'm spending to get people just to see my website. See similar questions...

ANSWER: Columbia University has a history of providing academic leadership in many evolving disciplines. Nurse practitioners in some places have already been expanding their practice to include multiple types of care (e.g., primary care for adults in ambulatory, acute care [hospitals], and long-term care). This has been done without any formalized training or standards. Part of the reason why this program is being proposed is to formalize and strengthen that process. See similar questions...

Answer: Compared with raw scores, percentiles provide additional information about the distribution of values. For example, if you are told that a boy is 27 inches tall and weighs 30 pounds, information such as the average height and weight for his age group, or the number of boys who score above or below this boy in his group would be very helpful.

Answer: Efforts to control reproductive functions in pets non-surgically began around 1960, when oral contraceptives (“the pill”) became widely available for women. Since then, scientists in numerous countries have taken varying approaches to develop effective, permanent contraceptives for cats and dogs. A summary of past research efforts can be found in the attached document. See similar questions...

In New Zealand the usual bedding is several thick layers of newspaper topped off with a thick layer of hay or straw. sometimes UNTREATED wood shavings or sawdust are used. Shredded paper can be used but need to be changed daily as it becomes dirty very quickly. If bedding other than hay is used remember it will still be necessary to FEED hay to your guinea pigs.
