What is SOP?? A standard operating procedure, or SOP, is a set of step-by-step instructions compiled by an organization to help workers carry out complex routine operations. SOPs aim to achieve efficiency, quality output and uniformity of performance, while reducing miscommunication and failure to comply with industry regulations. 1.SCOPE This Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) applies to staff and students using the Bench-Top pH Meter in the laboratories. 2.OBJECTIVE To describe the…

Abstract: The study investigated the workability, and compressive strength properties of the concrete produced by replac-ing 5%, 10% and 15% by weight of ordinary Portland cement with Sawdust Ash (SDA). Slump test was carried out on the fresh concrete and compressive strength test on hardened concrete. The concrete cubes were tested at the ages of 3, 7, 14 & 28 days. The results showed that Sawdust Ash is good with use in cement. The slump decreased as the Sawdust Ash content increased…

INTRODUCTION The purpose of this paper is to examine why the use of Dust masks in many dusty workplace environments is considered poor occupational hygiene practice, and to identify more suitable dust control regimes, including when dust masks would be an appropriate control measure. Occupational hygiene deals with the reduction or elimination of health effects from the work environment on individuals (Boyle 2005:147). As such, the use of dust masks in many dusty workplace environments is…

“The machine does not isolate us from the great problems of nature but plunges us more deeply into them.” - Antoine de Saint-Exupery I relate to this thought in my quest to find sustainable technologies because the work of an engineer is to “enable the future” not merely to “foresee” it. As a mechanical engineer and a founder & head for a sustainable technology based start-up I realized the importance of technology enabled sustainability for a healthier…

Key: Triathlon Wetsuit Review Meta: Standing among a variety of triathlon wetsuits must confuse and overwhelm you. Hence, to select the suitable swimming wetsuit, the Triathlon wetsuit review presents 6 attributes to consider thoroughly. Also, a review of 5 wetsuits may help you narrow down options. Intro: You may think borrowing a surf wetsuit from your friend would be fine, but actually having a suitable wetsuit would impact strongly your triathlon performance. No matter you are the…

Marijuana In today’s world one of the biggest talked about topics is the legalization of marijuana. “Marijuana, also know as cannabis, is the most widely used illicit drug in the world” (brucealanblock.com). “Each year, billions of dollars are spent by governments around the world in the “war on drugs” to combat this so called scourge” (brucealanblock.com). “Marijuana become illegal in 1937 because of racism, fear, protection of corporate profits, yellow journalism, ignorant, incompetent,…

sets up an uncomfortable and possibly unhealthy sleep environment depending on the temperature. 12. A Thick Ground Mat Helps Insulate Against the Cold Ground For winter camping, replace your thin ground mat with a thick one to provide additional insulation from the cold ground temperature. Either a thick foam pad or an inflatable mattress will be efficiently warm under your body. The cold could travel through a ground mat that is thin such as the one you enjoy sleeping on in the summer when…

Literature Review: In this part, a survey of existing work and literature relating to the project is covered. The differences between PM machine and conventional AC machines Induction machine is also called “asynchronies machine”. The rotor is placed in a rotating magnetic field and thus a rotating force can be attained. The rotor is a rotating conductor and is mainly produced in cage shape. The stator generates the rotating magnetic field. The rotating of the magnetic field is not achieved…

tested positive for asbestos. On the other hand, a company cannot presume that asbestos is not present in the construction materials even if the facility owner does not notify them. Since it was established in 1970 that companies must treat thermal system insulation, vinyl flooring, and…

energy increases the amount of vibration, increasing the amount of energy. When the “energized molecules” collide with other molecules, the amount of thermal energy is increased, raising the temperature. The opposite occurs, also. The molecules lose their vibrational energy, decreasing the number of molecular collisions. This decreases the amount of thermal energy, lowering the temperature (American, 2016; The University, 2012). Combustion, on the other hand, is more indirect. It involves…
