True Titan: Its Development and Progression The R.M.S. Titanic is perhaps considered to be the most illustrious shipwreck that had a huge influence in our popular culture, since its occurrence on 15thApril of 1912. This can be illustrated via numerous books, articles and movies; it has become a cultural icon while maintaining its national and international significance. Though, what innovations have influenced its invention and to what extent has it contributed to its significance? In order to…

exposing the timbers on the NE side, potentially increasing the action of biological and mechanical agents which were confirmed on the exposed surfaces in the area towards the bow. Probe depths and pylodin measurements were also taken together with corrosion information from copper fastening (Richards 2014:5-6). Although the time for exploration was very short, it was discovered that the wreck as a whole had not changed significantly since 2002, though it was noted the displacement of pieces of…

details some of their specific technologies in use stating, “we use phased array ultrasonic testing to confirm the safety and soundness of piping systems and pressure vessels”. The site goes on to explain, “This allows BP to explore for interior corrosion and other damages, while also assuring weld quality”. BP has also begun to make use of drones, which are useful for detecting the “warning signs” of a “safety risk” (BP U.S.). The company now has employees that, “remotely monitor 14 BP-operated…

ABSTRACT: Terpolymer / kaolinite microcomposites were synthesized by 2:2:1 molar ratio of aniline, anthranilic acid and o-phenylenediamine monomers, respectively using various percentages of kaolinite clay via modified in situ oxidative ter-polymerization. The results were confirmed by FT-IR and UV-Vis absorption spectra of terpolymers / kaolinite composites. The thermal behaviour of the terpolymer and composites was studied. Terpolymers / kaolinite composites were thermally more stable than…

archaeology will not have access to public funding. The Titanic a ship that most people would recognize by name, is one of many fascinating ships that were discovered and studied by Maritime Archaeologists. However, not even the Titanic will survive the corrosion that occurs 3.8 kilometres below the Atlantic Ocean and unless preserved accordingly, the Titanic will fall apart (National Geographic, 2010). More funding needs to be raised to prevent these events from occurring and forever preserving…

Unions have existed throughout United States history, specifically coming into the public view in the mid-nineteenth century. At first, they were viewed as dangerous and anti-American; as the fear of communism attracted panics such as the Red Scare, the thought of equality in the workplace seemed too extreme. When the Great Depression hit, more attention was shown to workers and their effect on the American economy. President Roosevelt called for increased spending to rev up the currency system;…

Are Vaccines Toxic? The subject on vaccine being dangerous raises many sensitive conflicts/arguments between doctors, families and the U.S regulators ever sense the FDA approved the vaccine. Vaccines became one of the biggest accomplishments to society. Vaccines are made to prepare the immune system by arousing the antibodies and encouraging them to fight and defend the body from infectious diseases; it provides a boost for the defense system. They were created to protect many against the…

Did you know, that smoking can increase lung cancer in men by twenty-five times? Smoking became popular in the 1900’s, but in 1965 smoking took a peak in the United States. Fifty percent of men and thirty-three percent of women started smoking (“Health Effects…”). With any kind of smoking there are major effects to the people smoking and the people around. You might hear from your parents all the time that smoking is bad and you should never start smoking. But do they try to stop? Probably not,…

residents were poisoned. It was no coincidence that more than half of the population is black (Environmental Racism). In the article A Question of Environmental Racism in Flint, author John Eligon mentions, ¨the Government officials failed to apply corrosion inhibitors to water which resulted lead from aging pipes to leach into the water supply.¨ The thought of drinking and bathing in corrosive water for over three years while your cries for help are ignored is grappling. Citizens affected…

Water is an important resource needed for our subsistence & is required on a global level. The various hydrologic cycles are necessary in order to preserve the balance of our ecosystem. Thus, good quality water is necessary for our survival. Chemical & biological composition are two criteria for evaluating water quality. Water hardness can be defined by the presence of divalent cations dissolved in a water sample. The divalent cations usually present are Ca2+ & Mg2+ and these cations bestow…
