The Buoys

high safety requirements and strict tolerances. Historical buoy data shows that significant wave heights of 10 to 11 m occur every few years in Delaware (Service 2005). Additionally, the accumulation of microorganisms, plants, algae, or animals on wetted surfaces (biofouling) poses risks to underwater construction, structural stability, and efficiency of power absorption. There is a recommended 3-month maintenance period for the OPT buoy technology (Ocean Power Technologies 2016). Although there

Man in the Water Man creates the simplicity in which he lives, until faced with a choice; a choice that can change the perception of life, love, and selflessness. The man in the water is perceived as a hero, however, that man may have never quite known what it meant to be truly selfless. He is known for his anonymity, and his heroism, but what a person may not realize, is that he is known for making a choice, an amazing factor in this, is he made his choice many more times than one. Also, he is

Subj: LEADERSHIP PHILOSOPHY Ref: (a) Leadership Practices Inventory: LPI, Kouzes & Posner 1. My Leadership definition – Guiding and inspiring individuals and groups to efficiently complete a common goal while fostering an environment of mentorship, personal growth, team work, and empowerment while utilizing an individual’s strengths and addressing their weaknesses. Leadership is situational and has to be adapted to a certain point to play to those individual strengths and weaknesses to find the

satellite-tracked surface drifters - are also known as SVP (surface velocity programme) drifters (Figure 1) - of the Global Drifter Program (GDP) that maintains a global array of these buoys (Figure 2) and provides a data processing system for scientific use of these data (http://www.aoml.noaa.gov/phod/dac/index.php). These buoys are not only able to provide near-surface currents information, but also measure temperature, salinity, atmospheric pressure, wind direction, etc.; and can be deployed from a small

Among many natural disasters in this world, there are three natural things that are responsible for natural disasters. These three are earthquakes, tsunamis, and volcanos. We humans call them Natural “Disasters” because they could destroy all of us or all our homes and important things we need to survive. Without humans, they would only be called natural events because they would not have anything to destroy. Starting with the earthquakes, they have the potential to cause harm and injury, cost loved

My arms fully extended outward in confidence- not afraid of the world and trials that lie ahead. My face basking in the freedom of the warm sun. I run without boundaries in the fields making up my farm. A flashback of my childhood where I grew up for 10 years of my life on a pecan orchard in Georgia. I think a lot about childhood and what it means to grow up. I have always grown up an adventurous spirit, pushing barriers yearning to find new routes never traveled before. I have always loved freedom

1. As per ref (a) the United States Coast Guard defines leadership as “You influencing others to achieve a goal.” Ref (b) defines leadership as “the ability to work through others to accomplish a task.” My definition of leadership is “Things you do to get people to do things”. My definition covers both “good” and “bad” leadership. I feel that I have been influenced equally as much by “bad” leadership as “good” leadership. I have observed as much of what not to do, as what to do. I occasionally

 What is a tsunami? A tsunami is described as a sequence of ocean or any large body of water waves caused by a natural disaster such as an earthquake, volcanic eruption, landslide or meteorite. Tsunamis bring waves that are different from waves you at the coast or lake since their generated by powerful winds and are minute when compared to a tsunami. These waves can span over 100km wide and travel at approximately 700 kilometres an hour. As a tsunami wave travels across the ocean it grows in height

The samples were collected from four different sites: buoy 21, buoy 56, Moody Gardens, and a nearby sulfur dock (Pictured below.). The sites were chosen to demonstrate the effects an environment can have on the composition of nearby water. The site near the sulfur dock, for instance, would be expected to have a higher concentration of sulfur, due to the relative closeness to the dock and the semi-stagnant water found there, than buoy 56, which is further into the bay and is well-mixed due to

you will see a buoy that is appended to a metal pole. In the event that you flush and the water starts to quickly rise, you basically need to lift up on that metal bar and the upstream will stop. This can spare you from a conceivable toilet bowl flood. - Flush: If the dilute goes, you have prevailing with regards to unclogging the toilet. In the event that the water rises then despite everything you have an obstruct and you have to stop the ascent in water by lifting up on the buoy in the tank of
