His mother’s death and his father’s grief leave Charlie feeling isolated at school, at home, and even at the junior-lifesaving training class he attends, where he practices his lifesaving skills on seventh-graders, otherwise known as sevies. In the excerpt below, Charlie has returned home after class and has walked to the creek to go fishing. from Emory’s Gift by W. Bruce Cameron 1 During the spring the waters of the creek were dark and cold, a sharp contrast from the milky pool water from which I’d been saving sevies all morning. From bank to bank the stream was more than thirty feet. In the summer, though, with the runoff down to a trickle, the creek bed was mainly dry, littered with rocks and mud and tree branches. The creek itself shrank back until it was only six feet wide, hugging the far bank and deep enough to swim in. That’s where the fish liked to lurk, up under the tree root overhang. From the base of our hill the creek had only another couple hundred yards of independence before it joined the river, adding...

...during October 2012. The Multiclient program was conducted in conjunction with pre-funded surveys. This is a significant milestone that marks the arrival of an effective, commercially viable and highly efficient new method for acquiring resistivity data to the market. See further details Electromagnetic Streamer development has been a major R&D focus within PGS since 2004, complemented by the acquisition of MTEM Ltd. in 2007. Successful field trials with prototype systems were completed over the Peon and Troll fields (North Sea) during 2009 and 2010. A further validation trial was conducted in 2011.The principle objective of this new approach to Controlled Source Electromagnetics (CSEM) is to provide: Resistivity Surveys to enhance subsurface understanding, discoveries are becoming less obvious and fewer large fields are being found. Adding electromagnetic data to seismic can highlight prospective areas that may have been overlooked. Information – Intelligence having an additional attribute to use in the delineation and characterization of potential reservoirs can reduce risk and improve drilling success. How it operates The new Electromagnetic Streamer can be deployed from a seismic vessel and can acquire data at similar speeds to seismic operations. Already proven to be effective in water depths between 50m and 400m, the future development program will aim for deeper water and deeper targets. The possibility of simultaneous acquisition of resistivity data with seismic...

...University of Phoenix Dehydration Water is a major component of blood, helps to lubricate joints, and allows electrolytes to power nerve responses. Grosvenor and Smolin wrote in Nutrition: Everyday choices (2006) that the average person’s body is 60% water weight, and keeping enough water in the body is a continuing task for everyone. The loss of one to two, up to four or more liters of water each day in sweat alone is an indicator of how important consuming enough water is. (Grosvenor & Smolin, 2006). By examining the functions of water and what can happen when the body does not receive enough of it, this essay will outline the important role water plays in keeping humans alive and healthy. Of the many essential nutrients humans consume to sustain their healthy lives water is by far consumed in larger quantities and with more urgency. (Grosvenor & Smolin, 2006). So much water is needed to power the body that even though 90% of water is reabsorbed during digestion Grosvenor and Smolin (2006) cite the Institute of Medicine, Food and Nutrition Board’s recommendation for water intake: 2.7 liters for females and 3.7 liters for males, every day. Grosvenor & Smolin go on to inform that one of the main ways the body loses much of this water is through the elimination of excess vitamins, minerals and waste products. The more of these particles one’s body has to expel, the more water it needs to eliminate them. This elimination happens with help from the kidneys...

...Prepaid Energy Meter (AT89S52) A scheme of Electricity billing system called "PREPAID ENERGY METER WITH TARIFF INDICATOR" can facilitate in improved cash flow management in energy utilities and can reduces problem associated with billing consumer living in isolated area and reduces deployment of manpower for taking meter readings. Every consumer can buy a memory card (is nothing but an EEPROM IC) with a password stored inside it using a MC program. The memory card is available at various ranges (ie. Rs 50, Rs 100, Rs 200 etc).In our project we have given the name for memory card as smart card. When the consumer insert a smart card into the card reader which is connected kit.Then the card reader will read the stored information and delete the information from the EEPROM IC(smart card) using the MC program. So that the smart card cannot be reused by others. Suppose if a consumer buy a card for Rs.50/- he / she can insert this amount through the card reader so that prepaid energy meter with tariff indicator kit will be activated. According to the power consumption the amount will be reduced. When the amount is over, the relay will automatically shutdown the whole system. In our project we also have a provision to give an alarm sound to consumer before the whole amount is reduced. You can also find the Card programmer circuit and program from the download. So that you can easily create your own cards. Here's the procedure to create the cards. How to program a new card. For making...

...Assignment # 2 Summary of #39 The world’s water challenge: Erik R. Peterson and Rachel A. Posner Deborah Phillpotts Professor Beth Stewart SOC300: Sociology of Developing Countries June 12, 2011 Article 39: The World’s Water Challenge: Erik R. Patterson & Rachel Posner Summary of Article This article was about The world’s water challenge. It addressed the dimensions and features that contribute to the world’s water crisis. According to the article “These factors suggest that even at current levels of global population, resource consumption, and economic activity, we may have already passed the threshold of water sustainability” (Griffiths, 2011) . So basically globally we are running out of water. Also the demand for water is so high and there is an insufficient amount of water supply to meet this. The dimensions of that the water challenges will affect include: healthcare, politics, our social lives, the economy, because the water supply is not sufficient and not easily sustained. This article also discussed the changes that are necessary to handle the challenge of shrinking water assets, the changes that I found very useful to implement are first and foremost educating the public about the water crisis, the government investing money into finding means to preserve the water supply we have today. There has to be more precautions taken when it comes to the ecosystems, even though it is inconceivable to maintain the water supply a stand has to be taken. There...

Reason for the major chaos and despair is because as I just explained a dirty bomb uses dynamite, and other explosives to scatter radioactive dust, smoke, and other materials in order to inflict bodily harm, destroy property, and finally cause overwhelming mayhem with a dose of radioactive contamination. Most of the danger of a dirty bomb would come from the blast of the explosion itself; this in metropolitan populated areas would have the ability to cause serious injuries to people, mass panic, and terror included...

...Temperature and Response time measurement Abstract In this experiment, a Resistive Thermal Device (RTD) and thermocouple were calibrated for first order measurement. Then, the response times of the RTD and thermocouple sensors were calculated. After performing this experiment, it was found that the time constants for the RTD were found to be -78.7 for cold to hot and 17.39 for hot to cold. The time constants for the thermocouple were found to be 3.519 for cold to hot and 2.64 for hot to cold. The rise times for the RTD were found to be 7.39 for cold to hot, and 7.9 for hot to cold. The rise times for the thermocouple were found to be 1.14 for cold to hot, and 1.27 for hot to cold. The error band for the RTD was found to be ±.0075, and the error band for the thermocouple was found to be ±.3887. Nomenclature T Time τ Time Constant E Error Band INTRODUCTION A Resistive Thermal Devices is a sensor used to measure the temperature by correlating the resistance of the RTD element with temperature. An RTD most commonly consists of a length of fine coiled wire wrapped around a glass or ceramic center. The element of the RTD is made of a pure material so its resistance can be calculated at various temperatures [1]. A thermocouple is that consists of two conductors which produce a voltage proportional to a temperature difference between either end of the pair of conductors. This allows for the measurement of the temperature at broad ranges...
