Beam

Your high beams can blind oncoming traffic, leading to a crash. If oncoming traffic has not turned down their high beams, you can flash your lights as a reminder. If the person still does not turn down their high beams, move your focus to the right side of your lane, and try to not focus directly on the oncoming headlights. Make Sure Your Vehicle is ready for Night…

weight of upper stories, roofs and eaves. The Dougong is composed of overlapping wooden brackets; the ‘Dou’: a block placed on a column, creating space for multiple bow-shaped arms; ‘gong’, to be interlocked, which are then used to support a structural beam for other ‘Dou’ and ‘gong’s to be placed above it. This construction is repeated in an alternate manner, some by using mortise-tenon joints, in layering horizontal members above to the vertical members until…

Heartland Cancer Center is an outpatient health care facility located in a convenient community setting. We offer external beam radiation therapy services using the most advanced equipment and techniques for both cancerous and benign conditions. External beam (NCI, 2015) radiation therapy involves delivering a high-energy x-ray beam produced by a linear accelerator. The beam is a patient specific customized treatment field that takes into account the size and shape of the tumor. By…

materials to produce radioisotopes. Modern cyclotrons accelerate negative ions towards the outer edge of the chamber stripping the excess electrons off the ions to form positive particles such as a proton which can then be extracted from the cyclotron as a beam. The energy attained by the particle is determined by the size of the vacuum…

dividing uncontrollably due to the mutation in the DNA. In the fight to eradicate this worldwide issue, one of the leading forms of treatment uses radiation to target the genetic material within those cancerous cells. Radiation therapy uses high energy beams, such as x-rays, gamma rays and charged particles, to damage the DNA to the extent where the cell will either die or stop dividing (“Radiation…

charismatic. Torn between labour and love, founder and choreographer Dein Perry uses dance to reflect his journey of becoming a professional tap dancer as a young boy. Getting down and dirty to the soul of this performance, there is no doubt that Tap Dogs Beams is far from the more traditional style of tap dancing. With a contemporary influence, Tap Dogs is known for transforming their stages into garage style, industrial themed dance spaces like nothing you have seen before. This inspiration…

was about to compete. As she visualized herself flipping four feet off the floor on a four inch beam, her body trembled and her palms perspired. Over the past 16 years of her life, she has spent four and a half hours, five days a week, 52 weeks of the year, training in the gym, for this moment. As she concluded her mental routine, the athlete smiled gently at her coach and made her way over to the beam. While she waited for a signal from the judges, she whispered her verbal choreography and…

1. Introduction to the case 1.1. The construction of the bridge Yangmingtan Bridge was a major construction project of the Heilongjiang province. It is the longest river suspension bridge in the north of the Changjiang River in China, so the government gave it great attention. It breaking ground on 2009 December 5th and completed at a marvelous speed and opened to traffic on November 6th, 2011, with an estimated investment of 1.882 billion Yuan (about 300 million dollars) . Considering the…

1. Introduction 1.1 – What Is a Crane? The Oxford Dictionary defines a crane as “A large, tall machine used for moving heavy objects by suspending them from a projecting arm or beam” (Oxford Dictionaries, n.d.). Today they are a common sight on building sites around New Zealand. They come in many different forms that have been adapted to suit different applications. 1.2 – What are the main (common) parts of a crane? Cranes vary in size, shape & specialty but they are all based on the same…

wavelength ~790nm, and τFWHM pulse duration is ~ 22 fs (in intensity) at 1mJ., in a gas filled hollow core fiber (HCF). Hence, these pulses are focused by a bi-convex lens (f=1.8 m) into the hollow core fiber entrance. The beam size at the focus is ~ 200 µm. The converging beam enters the HCF apparatus chamber, which is schematically illustrated in Figure 3a, through a ~0.5mm fused silica (anti-reflection coated) entrance window mounted in far distance (~80 cm) to reduce the self-phase…
