FIRE SUPPRESSION SYSTEMS Robert Strickland Running h ea d: FIRE DETECTION FINAL RESEARCH PAPER 6 Columbia Southern University There are many different types of fire suppression systems that are used not only throughout the U.S. but also the world. It is important as firefighters we understand how these systems work, not only so we understand the fire flow path but also how we may use these systems to our benefit. The implementation of fire suppression systems began many years ago around…

10 Observations/Questions 10 Generalized: 1. Observation – Some trees around campus have tags on them stating the species of tree. Question – Why does Manchester tag the trees? Does the tagging of trees affect the trees at all? 2. Observation – One of the trees between Oakwood and the Administration building has had its branches cut/trimmed for aesthetic purposes, I assume. Question – How does the tree respond to this? Can those branches grow back? Or will it remain a nub? 3. Observation –…

The river Frome has been the focus of interest for its importance as a SSSI (Sites of Special Scientific Interest) in the section between Dorchester and Wareham, for the presence of nationally rare invertebrate. It is protected under the Nitrates Directive and the Freshwater Fish Directive. The Upper Frome is also a Drinking Water Protected Area (Environment Agency,2011). The catchment area extend for 454 Km2. Its chalk geology, especially in the upper Frome, has a excellent capacity of absorb…

also cause immediate spending in order to expeditiously repair water systems. The reason for potentially dangerous water supply is that saltwater from oceans (because of the rising levels) and tropical storms can penetrate into nearby soil and groundwater wells, thus salinization of said water occurs. In addition, bacteria and algae find warm waters to be favorable to act as a breeding ground. The combination of salinization (which can manifest a “laxative effect”) along with pathogens can make…

This transportation of water and exchanged energy converts from one state to another driving the climate and weather system. This is the largest chemical flux on the planet It does not look like there is a starting point for this cycle. Water stores in lakes and the ocean, transpires into the air creating condensation, precipitation back onto the planet's surface creating runoff, running into the ground creating ground water, and eventually making its way back to lakes and the ocean.…

Land surveying is the technique of determining position of points on the earth and using them to define boundaries and draw maps. It divides the land into parcels by providing correct descriptions, which is then assigned for ownership and other purposes. The original charter group from England brought the “Metes and Bounds” system of describing land or real estate to U.S. where it had been used for many centuries. It was used in the original thirteen colonies that became the United States…

Title of the research proposal: Estimation of Annual Average Soil Loss, Based on RUSLE Model in Mula Watershed, Godavari Basin, Maharashtra, India 2. Summary of the proposed research: The Mula watershed is located in the southern part of the Godavari river basin. It is major tributary of river Pravara. Most of the upper Mula watershed is forested and lower part is under agriculture. Upper part of the watershed is under paddy and cereals crops while lower part is under sugarcane, orchard and…

Discussion: Mudboils cause structural failures since they are suspensions of gravel, clay, silt and fine sand creating an unstable surface. Since the beginning of persistent mudboil activity in the 1970’s, natural landscapes and engineered features have become subject to land-subsidence as mudoils continually deteriorate the areas in their path (Tresohlavy 2003, pp. 27). Petroleum pipeline rerouting, telephone cable burials, and the collapse of bridges have demonstrated the true capabilities of…

Yet, out of 30,000 wastewater disposal wells only a small fraction appear to be problematic (Ellsworth 2013). This could be due to the amount of water (volume) injected into the wells at the time or whether the pressure is directly communicated into basement faults (Ellsworth 2013). Injection induced earthquakes are clearly a reason for concern as they present a seismic hazard. Industrial activity has for a long period of time been a known cause for earthquakes, impoundment of reservoirs,…

Key Design Drivers The following were the key design drivers for the lower and middle completion string: • Desire not rotate SAS completion string if possible, configuration was set-up with the ability to rotate to bottom (swivel system utilized as contingency) but not as primary method of installation. Note: all previous Husky wells have been installed without rotation • Offset well friction data and the as-drilled 216mm open hole friction factors used to provide accurate T&D analysis prior to…
