The portable fire extinguishers play a significant role in putting out the fires that break out within the buildings. In essence, these devices act as a first aid response to the fires and help prevent the destruction of properties as well as loss of lives. The thorough inspection, testing, and servicing of these firefighting devices in buildings is highly recommended under the Australian regulations. The inspection checklists help ensure that the portable fire extinguishers are ready for use if they are ever needed. The following assessment checklist is for the on-site inspection of the portable aerosol fire extinguisher located ...

During the inspection of the thermal envelope (insulation) of my residence, major mechanical equipment were evaluated. The auditing also involved conducting various diagnostic tests on residence. The evaluations are geared towards helping me establish and quantify the energy efficiency levels at my residence. The audit indicates that there are many energy consuming appliances at my home and some of them emit energy while on standby mode. The appliances include toasters, televisions, computers, and televisions. These appliances use varied quantities of electricity in terms of Watts (Turner, 2016). Some of the concerns revealed by the audit include air leaks around ...

The industrialized society we live in today has been completely dependent on natural resources like wood, oil, gas and coal for all its energy requirements, over the past few centuries. Oil powers all vehicular movements, on road, air or sea. It is also the primary choice of fuel in large industries. Nuclear, hydro and coal are primarily used to produce electricity. Natural gas is primarily used for heating as is biomass. According to planetforlife.com, in 2008, 83% of the world’s energy requirements were provided by oil, coal and natural gas together. But these limited resources are diminishing with ...

Introduction:

Kansas State University is one of the strongest universities in the Mid-West. It has a beautiful campus filled with many green trees and breathtaking views. However, when it turns dark the campus’s unique features are changed into dangerously dark corners, and hard to navigate dim sidewalks. The reality is that the lighting infrastructure used on the campus has not been adequately updated to reflect the campus’s growth, the increase in on-campus activity after dark, or the changes in society that demand light in order to ensure safety. I, therefore, propose that the campus needs to double the ...

It can be operated through its software application that is made available on Google Play store for Android users and also on the Apple Store for iPhone ...

Invented and patented by Thomas Edison in 1879, the incandescent bulb comprises of a wired filament placed inside a glass bulb (“The History”). When electricity is provided to the filament, it heats up thereby making the bulb glow and emit light (“Incandescent, LED”). The wired filament of the incandescent bulb was initially made using carbon obtained from a cotton thread that was uncoated. This filament gave the bulb a lifespan of just 14.5 hours. Later, the carbon filament was made using bamboo, which gave the bulb a longer lifespan of up to 1200 hours (“The History”). Much later, in ...

Introduction

The Tulip Mania that took place between 1636 and 1637 is one of the earliest recorded financial bubbles (Veen, 2012). While there is no universally accepted definition of a financial bubble, the term financial bubble is used to refer to a situation where an asset price exceeds the asset intrinsic value, or the value that could be earned by holding the asset to maturity for an extended period of time (The Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago, 2012). The Tulip Mania fits the description of a financial bubble because at its height, the price of some tulip bulbs exceeded the ...

Infrared Cameras

Introduction An infrared camera is a non-contact device that detects infrared energy and converts it into a visible light display. The infrared energy is first translated into electrical impulses that are then converted into data for camera display. The image or video formed on the screen is of different colors depending on the intensity of the infrared emission. Most cameras have built-in visible light digital cameras that allow merging of infrared and visual images. There are two different types of infrared cameras; cooled cameras and uncooled cameras. The cooled infrared cameras produce superior image qualities than uncooled cameras but ...
