Over the years, industries change in accordance with new regulations that come about after major events. In the maritime industry, this statement is also true. Before conventions like International Convention for the Prevention of Marine Pollution from Ships, ship crews would discard plastics and other trash products that would otherwise be illegal. The industry did not regard the environment as they do now because their focus was on cargo and other aspects of their job. With laws like The Oil Pollution

According to the new Fifth Assessment Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) 2013, in Southeast Asia, temperature has been increasing at a rate of 0.14 to 0.20 degree Celsius per decade since the 1960s while rainfall from extreme rain days has increased by 10 millimeters per decade. Both of these increments are caused by climate change. In addition to increase of temperature and extreme precipitations, climate change also increases landslides, exacerbates soil erosion, causes

ASSIGNMENT - I SAFETY & HAZARD MANAGEMENT Name: Pavithran Gunasekaran Reg. No.: 15BCM0093 Slot: F1 Faculty: Mahesh Ganesh Pillai TASK-1 Case study taken: Sugar Refinery explosion, at Port Wentworth, Georgia. Occurred on: 7th February, 2008 Around 14 people were killed in this incident leaving 40 injured. The explosion is primarily due to the dust accumulation in the sugar conveyor covered with steel panels, which were ignited later due to high temperature bearings. Owned by Imperial sugar, the

CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION Composite materials are the engineering materials made from two or more constituent materials they remain separate and distinct on a macroscopic level but forming a single component or Composites can defined as materials that consist of two more chemically and physically different phases separated by a distinct interface(matrix phase and dispersed phase). The different systems are combined judiciously to achieve a component with more and more useful structural or functional

PHASE BEHAVIOR:- Melting Point:- The temperature at which polymer transmit into crystalline form to determine the melting point. The polymer of low-molecular substance exist very low melting point and this happened when polymer chain is dispersed. In physical state melting point is very difficult to calculate. Polymer will decompose at high temperature rather than melts. It is also known as crystalline melting temperature. Glass Transition

Literature Review Source 1 Species of special concern program By Len du Plessis August 2010 Summary: Fynbos and forest biomes are the main contributors to vegetation diversity in the Garden Route. Indigenous forests in the Garden Route cover 35 765.4 ha. The biome of the Garden Route contains 69% of South Africa’s sub-continent plant species. Approximately 30% of the Garden Route is covered in fynbos. Mountain and lowland fynbos have been converted into pine plantations, having huge effects on

endocrine-disrupting potentials (Bonefeld-Jorgensen 2014). Perfluoroalkyl Chemicals (PFCs) is one such family, chemically characterised by a fluorinated linear carbon chain with a hydrophilic head (Volkel 2008). Due to its stability, amphiphilicity, and non-flammability (Lau 2007, Kotthoff 2015), PFCs are commonly used to aid the industrial production of textiles, food packages, and cookware (Kotthoff 2015, Humblet 2014). PFCs can remain in the environment and bioconcentrate in animals (Lau 2007). PFCs are metabolic

Introduction In order to identify new materials, scientists use a variety of chemical and physical methods to determine molecular masses. One of these methods includes the Dumas method for determining the molecular weight of a volatile liquid. This method, which was proposed by John Dumas in 1826, makes use of a volatile liquid (vaporizes at a relatively low temperature) and allows this liquid to be heated in a water bath to a known temperature and escape from a flask through a tiny opening (Giunta

Suitable propellant considerations are benign toxicology, boiling point, solvency, non-flammability, and density [8]. Also, to ensure consistent dosing, the vapor pressure must be constant throughout the product’s life [6]. Metering Valve The development of MDI was a result of the development of the metered-dose valve. The metered valve consists

In recent years, the subject of hydraulic fracturing, better known as fracking has been a constant subject of interest in the news media. The pros and cons of fracking are passionately debated. However, the public should become educated on the subject of fracking prior to choosing a side of the argument. In the scholarly article, “Super Fracking,” published in 2014, by Donald L. Trucotte, Eldridge M. Moores, and John B. Rundle, a detailed description of fracking is provided, followed by their analysis
