Plastic dragged through the water is dangerous, because it represents a serious…

Also, scientists utilize telephone surveys, online surveys, focus groups, and surveys via websites when collecting data for research and need to be aware of the advantages and disadvantages of each of them. Sampling is the process of selecting a small part of a population for inspection and utilizing that smaller part of…

reduce the quantities of solid waste deposited in landfills, which have become increasingly expensive.

Fire Departments across the nation occupy a precarious financial position; their budgets rise and fall as the local tax base expands or contracts. At the same time, local citizens demand, at a minimum, that the fire department provide the same level of service from year to year.

Executive Fire Officers are forced to find creative solutions…
