    Migan Tech Case Summary

    Before we found the desirable solution, we did many research about how did other university to solve the similar problems and tried to get some ideas from the information. By doing research and analyze the situation in Michigan Tech, we figured out three solutions for the parking problem. First of all, we think Michigan Tech could build a parking garage in campus to provide more parking space. Then we think Michigan Tech could limit parking to students by the age and need, just like forbidding first-year students to park in campus. Thirdly, we think Michigan Tech could install an off-campus parking lot for students and provide shuttles to bring them to campus.…

    UNLV Parking Report

    Indeed the parking at UNLV ranges from bad to terrible; I was over 30 minutes to a math midterm due to some sporting event at the Thomas and Mack. I did not know there was an event going on and ended up having to park at the 7-11 on Naples and Swenson and then walk all the way to the east side of campus. I have 8 and 8:30 am classes this semester so when I get to UNLV there is plenty of parking but that is quite a bit earlier than I would like to go to class and getting out of the parking lots in the afternoon is always a pain. Perhaps it is the cynic in my…

    Water-Based Paint History

    Before automobiles became something more than a novel toy for the wealthy, America's roads were primarily narrow dirt thoroughfares. In 1900, most experts estimate that there were only 150 miles of paved roads in the country, and most of those were adjacent to large cities. In 1904, Americans owned approximately 50,000 automobiles; by 1910, that number had grown to more than 450,000. Automobile owners clamored for paved roads, and state officials complied. However, more cars meant more accidents, so state and local officials began looking for ways to make the roads safer.…

    Sealcoating Procedures

    When sealcoating professionals plan a job, they must consider the weather. Unfavorable weather conditions can cause a sealcoating project to fail; depending on the specific condition, the sealant may not dry properly, bond to the pavement or harden as it should. There are four particular weather conditions that are of concern to sealcoating professionals. Some of these conditions are sufficient to spoil a job on their own, but at times, a single unfavorable condition might not cause a problem unless it is exacerbated by a second unfavorable condition. High Humidity Level Sealants contain water, which means that for them to dry and cure, the excess water must be able to evaporate.…

    If you were to ask a group of sealcoating contractors what they consider perfect sealcoating weather, they would likely tell you that it would be a day on which the temperature was 70 degrees, the relative humidity was less than 60 percent, the overnight low would remain above 50 degrees and there was not a cloud in the sky. In North Georgia, however, a sealcoating contractor quickly learns that perfect days for sealcoating are few and far between. Instead, sealcoating professionals must acquire the skills needed to compensate for the lack of ideal conditions. (-- removed HTML --) When Is It Too Hot for Sealcoating?…
