million gallons per day via it's 17 mile stretch.

Navy Veterans at High Risk for Mesothelioma Cancer By Katie Kelley Jun 22, 2009 Between the early 1930s through the 1970s, hundreds of thousands of men and women served on U.S. Navy vessels, according to the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. Many, if not all of these vessels were contaminated with asbestos. Navy used a staggering number of asbestos-tainted products in all of its vessels, leading to high rates of asbestos exposure for the men and women serving on the contaminated ships. The…

The Dakota Access Pipeline (DAPL) remains the most recent pipeline controversy covered in the media. Though the protests inspired government intervention of construction of the pipeline, the concerns regarding pipeline use remains relevant. One of the main concerns of the construction of the DAPL is that if a burst or leak were to occur, it would result in the pollution of the Missouri River, a main water source for hundreds of thousands of people (Kirby). This concern is not unwarranted: The…

used to account for leakage between the mass and the pipe wall, as well as the friction between the two surfaces. The angle at which the pipe is positioned from the vertical is ψ. 2.3.2 Microphone Method of Measuring Flow Resistance The alternative method of measuring flow resistance is using an impedance tube [10]. The sound source used is a pure tone and is adjusted so the distance between each microphone is exactly an odd number of quarter wavelengths. A frequency of less that 100Hz should be…

environment. In the U.S there are up to 3,000 annual deaths due to lung cancer. Radon gas is a naturally-occurring gas that is formed and dispersed due to the decay of uranium. This gas can travel up through the dirt and into the gaps of foundations, pipes, and drains. It is estimated that 1 in every 15 homes in the United States may contain levels of this colorless and odorless but fatal gas. There are approximately 15,000 to 22,000 smokers and non-smokers that die of lung cancer…

roaring hearth fire that threw our quivering shadows against the wall. Tattered tales were piled high in corners. There was a clock hanging over the mantel, boxes of knickknacks stacked on shelves, and several faded family photos sat next to a meerschaum pipe on a carved nesting table. “Are you hungry?” Seth asked us. “I can fix you something to eat.” I sniffed the air. His home smelled like freshly picked strawberries. “I . . . um . . . uh,” Mason started…

magma around this area. Evidence of volcanoes can be found in many parts of Australia, especially extensive volcanism following the east coast, around 60 million years ago. This may have been caused by the flow of lava that is triggered by dykes and pipes that are spread over a large area. (Geoscience,…

thought into their design, and I also spent only about a quarter as much time making it compared to the glasses. As I finished up the crown I had a lot of thoughts about what I should have done to make the crown better, including more measurements and calculations about the hight and width of the crown spikes, and a design where the spikes were woven into the ring of the crown, instead of attached separately. But I was running out of pipe cleaners, and it was getting late, so I just stuck with…
