Disaster Research Proposals Samples For Students

Amongst natural disasters, flooding is one of the chief crises that befall our cities and towns. Flooding can occur for a variety of different reasons, including excessive rainfall, melting of snow in mountainous regions or even due to seismic activities such as Tsunamis. The purpose of writing this paper is mainly to acquaint the reader with the consequences of flooding and the steps one could take to save lives as well as protect oneself from harm.
This topic primarily interests me because of the fact that flooding as a natural disaster is widespread geographically. Unlike blizzards, tornadoes and other natural ...

~200 keV Radiation Field
Appropriate research problems and proposal: Could scientists create a radiation detector that can measure all forms radiation energy with the same accuracy over a wide energy range, and if they cannot, what technological progress has taken place today that may improve the radiation detection procedures and equipment is used.
Arguably, radiation detectors and dosimeters are important tools to evaluate radiation exposure and ensure a safe work area. However, no single detector can measure all forms of radiation level with similar accuracy and efficiency yet there are different types of particles that produce radiation. As a result, different ...

The aim of the research is to provide a solution to the problems that arise due to the high doses of radiation. Radiation is used in the treatment of diseases that involves the usage of high radiation therapies such as X-rays, CT scans, ultrasound scan and MRI scan. Major radio therapy techniques have led to adverse effects on patients due to the excess dosage of radiation. The research would help to reduce the harmful effects caused by the exposure to radiation by designing radiation protection programs that protect workers, patients and the environment. The newer X ray and CT scan ...

- Problem Definition
Texting and driving is a behavior that has been adopted by many people today. Technological advancements have made allowed people to have the capacity to communicate at any time (Jacques, 2013). Communicating with people is not a wrong thing to do. It is through communication that people are able to build stronger social ties. However, there is time for everything. Multitasking results in low-quality work (Kiesbye, 2011). This means that texting and driving makes a poor driver. This is because the driver often has to shift concentration from the road to the phone (Kiesbye, 2012, p.44) Statistics have ...

In 2011, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration estimated that 1.3 million traffic accidents in the US, which is approximately 23 percent of all accidents, occur while drivers are using cell phones (Lane, 2011). Around 1.2 million crashes occur because drivers use phones for conversations while the other 100,000 occur because a driver is typing text messages (Lane, 2011).
A survey was conducted on 912 smartphone users by State Farm, and 19 percent of them reported using their cell phone for surfing the internet (Sarno, 2011). Although their online survey did not report the demographics of the participants, ...

Introduction

A person’s alcohol concentration in the body can easily be known. This is achieved by the determination of the blood alcohol concentration taken in by such a person. This involves the measurement of alcohol concentration in grams of alcohol per 100 millimeters of blood. When the women and men are exposed to the same quantities of alcohol at the same time then the concentration of the alcohol in women will be higher. However, even people of the same sex have different concentration of alcohol when tasted despite their drinking levels. A drug therefore is any substance that alters the ...

In today’s competitive world, energy efficiency and productivity gains has helped consumers and businesses to reduce the amount of energy used. In fact until now most countries are focusing on how to increase efficiency of energy and save more. It is important to note that there is no complete efficiency in energy since some energy is lost to the environment during the transformation as heat or radiation. For example, machines such as car, computers and generators.

Technical Applied Science: Using the Scientific Method

Problem Statement

In general commercial and non-commercial flights are the two main categories of aviation. Pilot age became a particularly controversial issue in 1959 when the Age-60 Rule was made by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). The Age Rule has been lifted to 65 years so pilot’s can continue to fly through their early 60s. All factors causing air accidents are seriously investigated. If age is not a factor then time could be better spent resolving the problems that are factors in air accidents. This proposal seeks to evaluate the literature in order to determine whether or not the age ...

The High Cost of College Education

Introduction
Colleges are making the headlines a lot these days, with much of the publicity becoming clearly unfavorable. Despite the negative aspects exhibited in colleges, for instance riots, drinking, various scandals, and remedial courses frequently taught in the institutions, the central topic has been the steady rise in the costs of college education. College education has become unaffordable to most of the students or for those who are planning to join, attributed to the high cost of living and high rates of inflation (Martin, 2005). Similarly, the tuition fee is increasing faster than the rate of inflation, or even ...

Road safety is one of the overriding issues that is to be considered worthwhile and should be given an upfront measure, regarding human safety on the road. According to the available statistics, road carnage has claimed more lives vis-a-vis other tragedies that amount to death and the principal causation have been proclaimed to be reckless driving often taken as a traffic violation. Careless driving attributes to reckless driving, which is an aftermath of driving under the influence of alcohol, use of mobile phones while driving or any other destructions that limit drivers concentration and impair driving with due care.

Abstract

Apparently the multiple dimensions of environmental management concerns for countries with multi-tiered systems of governance were far less understood approximately twenty five years ago. It was thereby important for the government to impose regulations that have the ability to assess and bypass thornier intergovernmental issues with respect to its ability to protect sensitive environments and introduce strategies for growth and expansion.
In this context the term “disaster resistant community” holds good as opposed to “Disaster Resilient Community” and there are very specific issues why Webstar defines ‘Resilience’ as the ability to recover from or adjust easily from a calamity ...

Introduction

Millions of cells are always being removed in the human body in order to regulate biological pathways and keep cells healthy through a particular mechanism called cell death or apoptosis. Through apoptosis, such homeostatic death of cells has been defined as a tolerogenic or a non-immunogenic event for many years [1]. However, during the past few years, scientists have discovered the occurrence of a different concept of cell death – immunogenic cell death (ICD), where the death of a cell stimulates a response from the immune system against antigens of a dead cell, and this mechanism of cell death may ...

SUMMARY

Global warming is a serious issue that threatens the survival of future generations. Various methods are being devised to reverse the effects of global warming such as the use of green energy. Motor vehicles running on fossil fuels produce greenhouse gases which are a major cause of global warming. Therefore, it’s almost impossible to address the issue of global warming without considering emissions from the transport industry. Electric vehicles are a viable and environmentally friendly alternative to internal combustion engine vehicles that combust fossil fuels. The vehicles are powered by a rechargeable battery that drives an electromagnetic motor. ...

Introduction

The country of Bangladesh has historically served as a virtual bulls-eye for cyclonic activity in its corner of the Indian Ocean. Not only is the bay that leads onto shore extremely flat (and shallow), the shoreline is shaped like a horseshoe, which draws the storm activity inward. Also, the Bangladeshi lowlands along the ocean are also flat, and they do not drain well at all. This is good when you want to grow rice, but it is not so good when you want to avoid tragedy when a cyclone blows ashore and brings flooding with it. In the centuries before such ...

Introduction

One of the primary factors that influence the public transportation sector in Saudi Arabia is the low petrol prices. Saudi Arabia is well known for its abundance of oil. Given that it’s one of the global suppliers of oil, petrol in the country is very cheap. The low prices make it more desirable for the public to use private transportation since it is affordable and this may not change anytime soon. Nonetheless, Saudi Arabia still has a public transport network.
It is, therefore, essential to look into the economic and societal impact public transportation has on the Saudi ...

Issue

The current law sets the driving age at sixteen years. The assumption is that at attaining the age of sixteen, persons have the mental capacity to undertake driving. It is assumed that the same persons would conduct themselves diligently and observe the traffic rules.

Rationale

However, this assumption is being challenged given the statistics and cases that occur in the roads on a day to day basis. There are reasons to believe that the age limit should be raised from the statutory sixteen years to eighteen years. It is believed that the two year difference would at least account for a difference ...
