Lubrication is an important function that sustains the life of an engine. Lubricants help in reducing friction and wear of the parts of the engine. Lack of lubrication can lead to corrosion and formation of rust on the engine of an airplane. All engines require lubrication regardless of the frequency of their use. Airplanes that are frequently used can have issues of rust formation and corrosion (EAI, 2015). The idle airplanes have a higher risk of rust formation and corrosion compared to the airplanes that are frequently used. It is easier to lubricate and maintain airplanes that are on ...

Abstract

I believe that the integration of digital technology in designs is very necessary and cannot be avoided. This is because of its extensive effects on architecture and its general ambiguity. This paper, I believe, will make it possible for individuals and institutions to analyze and decide appropriately on the use of digital prefabrication, as a new technology in the design systems. Although many opinions have been presented with different position statements, the immediacy of proactive consideration on the digital systems is of utmost importance. In this paper, I have explored the relationship between CAD and CAM, computer and production.

- Explain what is a transform plate boundary A transform boundary are places where tectonic plates slide past each other. From a geological point of view transform boundaries are meant as a half-movement. Tectonic displacements do not affect the whole plate but a certain length, sometimes only certain segments cross mid-ocean ridges. Another feature of transform plates is that they join or separate the most heterogeneous patterns in the ocean and in the transition to it from the continental zone.

- Give some facts about plate boundary The largest offset segments of the mid-ocean ridges, as it turns out, has ...

Abstract

In the pre-colonial era and shortly after the colonial period, border crossing by communities was a common phenomenon and occurrence. The realization of indigenous communities of the presence of an immigrant community amongst them did not come as a shocker to the natives. These immigrant communities moved from one place to another for different reasons. There were those who crossed these borders in search of better lifestyles. There were those who had also been displaced by war activities and, therefore, had to cross these boundaries in search of peaceful settlements. Still, there were those who moved from one boundary to the ...

Despite the fact that the United States history has serious experience gained from the American Civil War till the famous speech of Martin Luther King, our society is still harmed by presence of destructive ideas of social inequality and division not by the social position or character, but by ethnicity and therefore skin color. This problem is one of the most painful for the contemporary American nation as it is the boundary on the way to social progress and development. It divides our society and creates imaginary warfare and the set of senseless conflicts.

Abstract

Gary S. Becker was an American economist. He was one of the first individual economists to become interested in and formulate theories on issues surrounding crime, punishment, discrimination, and altruism; his theories often crossed the boundary between economics and sociology (Clement 2002). Although this is a common practice today, when Becker began his work as an economist, the two fields were vastly different; this paper will investigate the overlap between Becker’s work and sociological fields, as well as the major contributions he made to the field of economics.

Gary S. Becker was born in 1930 in Pennsylvania. He worked ...

It is true that many people do not have service mindedness. As a result, we can say that service mindedness is not natural but it develops by nurturing. In most cases, the marketing department plays an important role in training its employees on how to handle customers. Ideally, this is because customer service plays a great role to enhance customer service satisfaction. For instance, it is not obvious an employee to attend a customer who enter in a hotel. Some of the employees may think that the customer should call them in order to communicate whatever they want to consume from the hotel. ...

Introduction

Wind engineering is a significant component in civil engineering. This is because winds can have devastating effects on different manmade and natural structures. Windstorms produce large amounts of damage every year (Holmes, 2007). Weather conditions such as thunderstorms generate local winds, whereas hurricanes and typhoons may generate very strong winds. Designing of buildings and structure takes into account the dead load of the structure plus the imposed load. However, in including a factor of safety for the structures the engineers have to factor in the wind load.

While much has been hypothesized regard a sill in the context of geology, it is of the essence to note that it mainly refers to an intrusion that is tabular in nature that often intrudes on older deposits of sedimentary rocks. In metamorphic rocks, sills often intrude on along the directions of foliation. Many at times, the term sill and concordant intrusive sheet have been used interchangeably. This is a significant indicators that sill does not apply across all pre-existing rocks. On the contrary, dikes, which is often used interchangeably with discordant intrusive sheets applies across all older rocks. For this ...

Ethical considerations hold the key to effective and meaningful recovery of a patient from all his/her illness with dignity. Failure to adhere to these ethical practices by the medical practitioners and therapists will not only throw away peoples trust on them, but also create a legal tussle between the two groups, further worsening the situation. In light of the two professional settings (Psychiatric Hospital and Children Psychotherapy), ethical boundary considerations resonates around two crucial parameters; informed consent and Confidentiality (Pope, & Vasquez, 2011). In deed, these are the key to mutual respect and understanding between the doctor and the patient.

Lewis Mumford understands of Greek cities and roman cities as being quite different. He starts by narrating the history of the roman structure of a city. In his explanation, he says that the city has a rectangular wall around it. The buildings in the city were not up to the wall since the outline and structure of the city was organized more like a military camp. The city was also served by two main streets; one running from north to south of the city and the other from west to east. The two streets met at right angles and the meeting point ...

Nurses are often confronted by various ethical challenges or dilemma situations during their professional practice. It is therefore important that they be familiar with the ethical codes of conduct and decision-making. As one of the most trusted professions, the nursing ethical codes of conduct were first adopted by the International Council of Nurses in 1953. The codes guide nurses in decision-making whenever they face barriers in executing their professional obligations. One of the difficult situations in which these codes help nurses to navigate through is in maintaining patients’ privacy and confidentiality. This is particularly true for student nurses who ...

It is, however, not intended for controlling only the hazard. Process control systems are rather provided for controlling the hazards. This essay takes a brief look at what safety in the industry is and also its correlation to public health. Virtually every industry has its ...

Introduction

In 1852, Francis Guthrie was discussing with his brother Frederick the coloring of a map. He discovered the fact that he could color the map of England counties with the use of only four colors. He used the colors in such a way that each division had a single color and two segments sharing a common boundary had different colors. Thus, the four color problem was born and the question arose whether in a plane map, four colors were sufficient to denote the divisions of adjacent regions sharing the same boundary, without using the same colors.

Mending Wall by Robert Frost is a simple poem which airs the views and opinions of two farmers. One farmer is rather conventional and wants to repair and rebuild the boundary wall between the two houses during spring. The only reason behind this decision is that of tradition. The tradition of rebuilding the wall in spring has been followed by his grandfathers and father, and hence, he wants to keep up with the tradition. He further maintains and believes in the age old adage, “Good Fences Make Good Neighbours”. The other farmer is unconventional and reflects before taking an ...

In the Supreme Court of US two states, Rhode Island and Massachusetts had disputes over boundaries. The latter claimed ownership for more than two decades, but later, the former challenged the ownership in the Court of Law. In 1962, the State of Massachusetts was supposed to own the territory, which stretched three miles along Charles River in the south. One year later, Rhode Island received a grant bounded by the same river, but to the southern line of Massachusetts boundary. Failure to issue an express order of the crown was because no one expected the boundary to lead to disputes ...

Introduction

During the American Revolution, many women took active part in both the American and British armies. Apart from direct participation, many women also contributed to the revolution indirectly. In the 18th century America, women’s role in the society was limited to the boundary of home as child bearer and home maker. Politics, military activities and even social activities were almost 100% an all-male affair (Brooks 2013). Therefore, it was not easy for women in that era to directly participate in the American Revolution. Still, thousands of women participated. The American Revolution started when England put in place ...

Religion and spirituality continue to be unrecognized as effective strategies for coping against tragedies and life pressures and as essential factors in self-protection and psycho-emotional resiliency (Bryan-Davis, Austria, Kawahara & Willis, 2014). Despite that, these concepts constitute key pathways towards the holistic health and well-being of women (Bryant-Davis, Gray & Bhang, 2014). This paper explores the influences of religion and spirituality on women’s wellbeing, the few specific forms of nontraditional spirituality (such as Astrology, Hinduism, Gnosticism, Yoga, and Meditation), the seven markers of spiritual wellness according to Pazzino (2014), my personal definition of spirituality, my personal spiritual wellness self-assessment, and ...

Terrestrial Ecosystems Dynamic

Ecological systems are dynamic by nature and constantly feel the influence of climate variability. Since the structure and functioning of forest ecosystems are controlled by climatic factors through metabolic function, it may change in the future dynamics of forest restoration, growth, progress and growth of tree mortality, as well as the relationship of rocks. It is expected that climate change will be faster than the rate at which ecosystems can adapt and repair itself. Ecosystems of the North must first of all respond to possible global warming because of climate-driven ecosystem response reveals itself most clearly. At high ...
