Meredith was built in 1851 and entered service with the Coast Survey the same year. She operated along the United States East Coast during her career. On the morning of 12 October 1856, Meredith was at anchor in Portland Harbor at Portland, Maine, when her crew spotted fishermen who were in danger of drowning when their boat was swamped while they were attempting to reach their fishing vessel. Meredith's sailing master, Mr. John T. Hopes, with one of the crew, promptly pulled out and rescued the fishermen. Meredith was retired from Coast Survey service in 1872. Данное...

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! USCS Belle was a schooner that served as a survey ship in the United States Coast Survey from 1848 to 1857. The Coast Survey acquired Belle from the United States Army Quartermaster Department in 1848 and placed her in service along the United States Gulf Coast, where she spent her entire Coast Survey career. Belle sank in a gale at the end of the 1853 surveying season, but she was raised in 1854 and returned to service. She was lost on uncharted shoal off St. Andrews Bay, Florida, in 1857.

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! USCS Bancroft was a schooner that served as a survey ship in the United States Coast Survey, a predecessor of the United States Coast and Geodetic Survey, from 1846 to 1862. The Coast Survey purchased Bancroft in 1846 for $2,098.42 and placed her in service the same year. She operated along the United States East Coast during her career. Bancroft was at Beaufort, South Carolina, on the night of 22 December 1855 when a fire broke out which threatened to destroy the town. The officers and crew of Bancroft promptly joined others in fighting and containing the fire, and her officers received the thanks of the citizens of Beaufort for Bancroft's quick response to the emergency.

USCS Varina was a schooner that served as a survey ship in the United States Coast Survey, a predecessor of the United States Coast and Geodetic Survey, from 1854 to 1875. Varina was built in 1854 by Fardy Brothers at Baltimore, Maryland. She entered Coast Survey service that year. On more than one occasion, Varina assisted mariners in distress. In December 1856, at the request of the American consul in Havana, Cuba, Varina called at Nassau on New Providence in the Bahama Islands to take on board the crew and steerage passengers of the American ship Julia Howard, which a short time earlier had wrecked on the Bahama Banks, leaving her crew and passengers destitute at New Providence.

Lignin, along with cellulose and hemicelluloses, is a structural component of vascular plants. The material properties of lignin make plants to withstand mechanical stress, biological attacks and even fire. In order to obtain cellulose, wood chips are freed from lignin and this material is then burned to recover pulping chemicals. There is a surplus of lignin that cannot be burned anymore and this material can be used as an ingredient in biocomposite materials. It is interesting to incorporate lignin in composites owing to the properties it displays in plants. In this book the modification of lignin and polypropylene with cold plasmas is presented as a strategy for compatibilzation of polar lignin with the non-polar character of...

In today’s industry, there is a demand for a continuously increasing productivity and very short payoff times on investments, with no room for redundant production capacity. Because of this, processes with hard to control parameters can become more unstable when the productivity demand increases. One such process is the production of forged, case hardened camshafts for heavy truck diesel engines. To insure quality, some sort of quality control tool must be used. The purpose of this work has been to verify if the Barkhausen Noise method can be used as a production control method for the grinding operation. However, actual production camshafts have been used to include the normal production variations of preceding operations in the...

The research was undertaken to investigate the use of lifts as an emergency exit in apartment buildings. Lift evacuation is a controversial issue because the safe operation of lift is not ensured under the existing design and operating conditions. The factors of human psychological and physiological responses such as decision uncertainty, panic, nonfatal and fatal injuries were considered. An integrated approach of risk assessment for the issues of human behavioural response, fire hazards and lift operational mechanism was developed. The research showed that the partial evacuation, up to a quarter of the building population including the aged and disabled persons, using lifts with a door protected lobby is possible. The entire building...

Financing road network life-cycle costs on sustainable basis is one of the most crucial challenges facing many developing countries, as it requires a thorough awareness of road network costs and available sector funds. This thesis has developed a pragmatic cost-revenue model for estimating road network life-cycle costs and expected road revenues. The model calculates performance indicators for measuring the extent to which road users are contributing to the financing of network costs.The findings indicate that road user contributions in Ghana are sufficient to cover only the expected maintenance costs and three-quarters of estimated network life cycle costs. User contribution covers only one-half of the total costs when the costs of...

The objective of this work is to develop an adequate procedure to determine mechanical properties of nuclear reactor components by means of small specimen test technique. Atomic reactor power plant is a huge structure that the safety factor due to its special function is momentous. The irradiation can change the mechanical properties of the steel used in nuclear power plant structure. The radioactive effect on the vessel of nuclear power reactor causes radiation damage by altering the material properties of nuclear pressure vessel. The effects of the irradiation are mainly important on the toughness parameters (DBTT, KIC). In this work, instrumented Charpy tests was used to study and analyze the effect of specimen size and geometry on...

The growing popularity and demand for scientific visualization is due to the explosion in generating data as simulations and measurements using supercomputers. Scientific visualization facilitates visual interpretation of massive data sets. The dissertation focuses on the following: (a) visualization of two-dimensional tensor fields using topology, (b) a new algorithm to generate isosurfaces for visualizing volume data, (c) different schemes of interactive visualization of water-resource data. This article particularly brings out the use of duality of key aspects in three different areas for effective visualization. Данное издание не является оригинальным. Книга печатается по...

This book describes the application of simulation techniques to the operational test and evaluation (OT&E) of command support systems (CSS). OT&E is essential for ensuring that systems are effective, suitable for service and meet the end users' needs. Simulation can be used in OT&E to simulate entities that cannot be obtained for real-world OT&E and to evaluate the effectiveness of systems in controlled environments. This book defines the relationships between command and control (C2), CSS, systems engineering, verification and validation, OT&E and modelling and simulation. This book describes how simulation techniques have been used to improve OT&E of CSS and how simulation models are verified, validated and...

Currently large numbers of transport trucks idle during times when they are not actively transporting a load. The amount of fuel used and emissions produced during this time of inactivity is not insignificant. Due to the amounts of harmful emissions created by idling diesel trucks, interest has been growing in using fuel cell powered auxiliary power units (APUs) to reduce idling in line-haul trucks resulting in a handful of states instituting idling bans, with many more considering anti-idling legislation. Another example of a diesel transport diesel emission source is the Transport Refrigeration Unit, or TRU. The TRU is used to provide refrigerated space during the transport of a many important commercial products. TRUs are used in all...
