High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! In subterranean civil engineering, ventilation shafts, also known as airshafts or vent shafts, are vertical passages used in mines and tunnels to move fresh air underground, and to remove stale air. In architecture, an airshaft is a small, vertical space within a tall building which permits ventilation of the building's interior spaces to the outside. The floorplan of a building with an airshaft is often described as a "square donut" shape. Alternatively, an airshaft may be formed between two adjacent buildings. Windows on the interior side of the donut allow air from the building to be exhausted into the shaft, and, depending on the height and width of the shaft, may also allow extra sunlight...

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Ventimiglia railway station is the main station of the Italian city of Ventimiglia. It is at the end of three rail routes: the Genoa–Ventimiglia line, the Cuneo–Ventimiglia line and the Marseille–Ventimiglia line. It plays an important role not only in rail transport in Liguria, but also in Italy. Despite being an important statiion, it is in some disrepair.The station was opened at the end of 1871 and renamed Ventimiglia International station in 1882, with the construction of a new building passenger, featuring a glass roof over the tracks. This roof was later superseded by the current building, designed by the architect Roberto Narducci (who also designed 40 other Italian stations),...

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! In firefighting, ventilation refers to the tactic of creating a draft with an opening above or opposite the entry point so that heat and smoke will be released, permitting the firefighters to find and attack the fire. If a large fire is not properly ventilated, not only will it be much harder to fight, but it could also build up enough poorly burned smoke to create a smoke explosion, or enough heat to create a flashover. Contrarily, poorly placed or timed ventilation may increase the fire's air supply, causing it to grow and spread rapidly. Данное издание не является оригинальным. Книга печатается по технологии...

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Ventilating (the V in HVAC) is the process of "changing" or replacing air in any space to provide high Indoor air quality. i.e. to control temperature or remove moisture, odors, smoke, heat, dust, airborne bacteria, carbon dioxide, and to replenish oxygen. Ventilation is used to remove unpleasant smells and excessive moisture, introduce outside air, to keep interior building air circulating, and to prevent stagnation of the interior air.

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Ventile is a high-quality woven cotton fabric first developed during the Second World War for use in pilots' immersion suits by scientists at the Shirley Institute in Manchester U.K.. Ventile has developed a reputation as both waterproof and windproof. It is hardly found in the United States, but in Europe, especially in the UK, has seen a revival with the bushcraft movement. It is popular with birdwatchers and naturalists because ventile, unlike synthetic fabrics such as Gore-Tex, produces almost no noise when in use. It is very popular among survivalist and bushcrafters in the European forests because of its strong resistance to tearing and fire. Данное издание не...

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Ventnor railway station was the terminus of the Isle of Wight Railway line from Ryde. The station lay on a ledge 294 feet above sea level which had to be quarried into the hill side. The station was immediately outside a 1312 yard long tunnel through St. Boniface Down. A lack of space meant that a turntable was used to allow steam engines to runaround their trains. In later years this was replaced by a three way switch. The various tracks merged just before the tunnel and the locomotives had to enter the tunnel during their runround manoeuvres. Данное издание не является оригинальным.

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Ventnor West station was opened on 1 June 1900 as the final addition to the railway network on the Isle of Wight. It was originally opened as Ventnor Town but the station was renamed in 1923 by the Southern Railway.The station built on the former stables of the Steephill Castle estate, was inconveniently situated for the town, being some distance west of the town centre and 168 feet above sea level. Consequently it never lived up to the expectations of the operators and was an early casualty of the pruning of the railway network. The station closed along with the others on the line on 15 September 1952. Today the main station building is still standing, surrounded by modern housing in Castle...

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! A venturi flume is a critical-flow open flume with a constricted flow which causes a drop in the hydraulic grade line, creating a critical depth. It is used in flow measurement of very large flow rates, usually given in millions of cubic units. A venturi meter would normally measure in millimetres, whereas a venturi flume measures in metres. For measurement of discharge with venturi flumes two measurements, one upstream and one at the throat (narrowest cross-section), are required, if the flow passes in a subcritical state through the flume.

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The venturi mask, also known as an air-entrainment mask, is a medical device to deliver a known oxygen concentration to patients on controlled oxygen therapy. Venturi masks are considered high-flow oxygen therapy devices. This is because venturi masks are able to provide total inspiratory flow at a specified FIO2 to patients therapy. The kits usually include multiple jets in order to set the desired FIO2 which are usually color coded. The color of the device reflects the delivered oxygen concentration, for example: blue = 24%; yellow = 28%; white = 31%; green = 35%; pink = 40%; orange = 50%. The color however varies with different brands and the user must check the instructions to determine the...

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! A venturi scrubber is designed to effectively use the energy from the inlet gas stream to atomize the liquid being used to scrub the gas stream. This type of technology is a part of the group of air pollution controls collectively referred to as wet scrubbers. Venturi devices have also been used for over 100 years to measure fluid flow (Venturi tubes derived their name from Giovanni Battista Venturi, an Italian physicist). About 35 years ago, Johnstone (1949) and other researchers found that they could effectively use the venturi configuration to remove particles from gas streams. Figure 1 illustrates the classic venturi configuration. Данное издание не является...

It was good for a top speed of 167 miles per hour (269 km/h) and accelerated from 0-60 miles per hour (97 km/h) in 5.2 seconds.Scotsman Hubert O'Neill purchased Venturi in 1994 and conceived of the Venturi 400GT as well as a revised Atlantique. After a rushed design time of six months, the new Atlantique 300 was unveiled at the Paris Motor Show. Its new 3.0 24V V6 engine was lifted...

The Venus processing engine for digital cameras is an image processing engine developed by Panasonic, and almost all of their Lumix cameras use a version of it. Image processors operate in four steps: receive data from the CCD sensor, create the Y-color difference signal (image processing), perform JPEG compression, and save the image data. Panasonic claims that its VENUS II processing engine performs all of these simultaneously.With the Venus engine, Panasonic claims "super fast" shutter speeds and less energy consumption.

They were designed in 1756 by Sir Thomas Slade, and were enlarged from his design for the 32-gun Southampton class frigates, which had been approved four months earlier. The 36-gun frigates, of which this was the only British design in the era of the 12-pounder frigate, carried the same battery of twenty-six 12-pounders as the 32-gun predecessors; the only difference lay in the secondary armament on the quarter deck, which was here doubled to eight 6-pounders.

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Veraison is a viticulture (wine-making) term meaning "the onset of ripening". It is originally French, but has been adopted into English use. The official definition of veraison is "change of color of the grape berries." Veraison represents the transition from berry growth to berry ripening, and many changes in berry development occur at veraison.Grape berries follow a double sigmoid growth curve. The initial phase of berry growth is a result of cell division and cell expansion. As berry growth of phase I slows this is termed the lag phase. The lag phase is not a physiological growth stage, but an artificial designation between the two growth periods of grape berry development. Данное...
