Alpha Phi Alpha

Abstract Piper Alpha was operated by Occidental Petroleum. The platform began its production in 1976, first as an oil production and then later converted to oil and gas production. In the night of July 6th 1988, the platform was engulfed in a catastrophic fire, which caused the death of 167 men and cost billions of dollars in property damage. There are only 61 survivors who saved their lives by jump off the platform in to the sea. At the time of the disaster, the Piper Alpha disaster was the worst

TASK 1.1 IONISING RADIOTION Type of ionizing radiation Characteristics of each type of ionizing radiation Alpha particles (a) Alpha is strong ionising, and can be stopped by paper or skin tissue. They are positively charged and have 4 times the mass of a photon Beta particles (B) Beta is electrons and can be found in the nucleus of the atom, beta particles strongly ionize for instances one beta particles will cause 100 insertions. However, it is less damaging to humans Gamma rays (y) Gamma rays

Research design The use of survey design was done for the study to be able to adopt a quantitative approach. The fact that this survey method has the capability to make data collection from various responding groups more enhanced made it the favorite. Besides, this method didn’t require a lot of investment for the administering and development purposes, it possesses various variables that could easily be studied, and seemed to be very easy comparatively in order to make generalizations (Glasow, 2005;

Alexander is now director of the Aberdeen Centre for Trauma Research at Robert Gordon University. Ten years after the disaster he managed to find 46 of the survivors; they took the part in the study group on the long term psychological effect of Piper Alpha disaster and PTSD. They agreed to give interviews and completed questionnaires, the study showed that: 97% of the group reported psychological problems (Hull, Alexander, Klein 2002) Some of them needed individual therapy to deal with PTSD and had prescribed

this way it reduces the cost of the energy. For example the Uranium-238,which decays into an alpha particle (Helium nucleus) and a nucleon (Thorium-234). When the Uranium-238 decays it decomposed at the same time, this process can be also called as alpha-decayed. The equation for that is:238U92 -> 234Th90 + 4He2 + Gamma rays. There are three types of radioactive decay; alpha, beta and gamma radiation. The alpha radiation includes a stream of the Helium-4nuclei; beta radiation has higher speed electrons

The Piper Alpha disaster led to the strike action of the offshore oil workers, they wanted better health and safety conditions in the oil industry, and in the 1989 the formation of the Offshore Industry Liaison Committee (OILC) took place. (ref3) After the public inquiry, Peter Fraser, who was the Lord Advocate at the time, decided in July 1991, that “there was insufficient evidence to convict the companies and individuals in a criminal court” (Gavin Cleland). Occidental was never prosecuted. Mr

Based on the similarities of events in both countries, this seminal work laid the foundation for the current study and others which are alike in scope and nature. In this light, the below listed instruments – Peer Pressure Inventory (PPI), Feelings About School Instrument (FAS1), and Rutgers Alcohol Problem Index (RAPI) were used to determine if there was a link between peers’ influence, alcohol consumption and high school students’ attitudes towards school. A pilot study to test the reliability

second lowest compared to the individual securities and the S&P 500. A low standard deviation is a good indicator when examining securities since it means that their returns vary minimally. The Beta of VICEX is about 0.815, while the alpha is about 0.0022. The alpha here

Principle Bedette, fellow teachers, parents, friends and family, and most especially you – the graduating class of 2017. A few of you might read the news from time to time. It's a tough business speaking at graduation. When the Vice President spoke this year at Notre Dame University, students walked out on him. A couple weeks ago in California, students protested the Dalai Lama when he came to speak. These are famous people. The students here at Newfane Senior High decided to play it safe and invite

The problem that the researchers intended to study was clearly stated. In problem that existed is that due to favouritism, nepotism and cronyism the vacancies and job opportunities in Pakistan are not being fulfilled base on the applicant’s qualification, experience and other necessary skills. The problem is of practical importance, because it helps to determine the significant impact that favouritism, nepotism and cronyism within the working environment of the public sector organizations of Pakistan
