    Air resistance is an opposing force often known as drag force. Air resistance acts in the opposite direction to snow skier’s velocity and can either harm or enhance performance of the athlete. The flow of air around an object causes the unavoidable effect of drag and is influenced by the size, shape, surface, and overall speed of an object (John Polson, 2013). Air resistance is present in snow skiers and can inhibit their performance in a race greatly if the proper precautions and positions are not met. Three of the main aspects of snow skiing are posture, clothing and location; all of which are affected by air resistance.…

    Table 3 shows the flow value of the mixtures containing BA. It shows that flow value for the BA blended cement mortars were decreased with increase in the percentage of BA. The control mix (BAM 0) has a flow value of 147 mm [30]. The flow value of mixes BAM 5, BAM 10, BAM 15, BAM 20, BAM 25, and BAM 30 shows decrease of 146, 146, 145, 144, 143, and 142 mm respectively. BA requires more water for proper consistency when compared to that of ordinary Portland cement due to irregular shape with rough surfaces, high porous texture and absorptive in nature [5]. Increase in water demand of BA, decreases the flow value and resulted in poor workability. W/C ratio was kept same as 0.5 for all mixes. The flow value of BAM 30 reduced to 3.4 % due to…

    In the early 1800’s, the seamstress, was common figure in American cities. The seamstress was a skilled mender of clothing, a much needed but under valued member of American society. There was the seamstress and there was the dressmaker. Although the seamstress and the dressmaker had comparable skill in those days, they did not have comparable in incomes (Leibhold, 1998). Dressmakers were often hired to make entire outfits and wardrobes for the wealthy, and thus made a very good living for themselves. The seamstress earned their living by piece work. Sewing precut fabrics into garments for Southern slaves, Western miners, and New England Gentlemen (Leibhold, 1998). The wages were not enough to take care of themselves or their families. By 1880, the garment industry was rapidly expanding and immigrants began to converting small apartments into contracted sewing shops (Leibhold, 1998). These contractor shops doubled as sewing shops and living quarters for the employees. Employees were expected to work for 16 hours a day being paid pennies by the piece (Leibhold, 1998). The apartments housed 8 to 10 employees in family units, who worked, slept, and ate in the same space. Conditions were unsanitary and unsafe. Workers became sleep deprived, hungry, and dehydrated. There was no standard for personal hygiene and workers often became ill from disease under those circumstances. Contract shops were coined as sweatshops because of the conditions immigrants were expected to work in (Leibhold, 1998). By the 1940’s sweatshops were very common in America.…

    Abstract --- Reutilization of waste materials in the building industry helps to prevent environmental pollution whilst contributing to the design of more economical buildings. Over the years, there has been increase in the accumulation of tyre rubber due to the increase in the production of vehicles. Sometimes this waste tyre rubber is burned which leads to environmental pollution. So the use of this type waste tyre rubber for the replacement of aggregates in concrete leads to the decrease in the accumulation of waste tyre rubber and also reduces pollution. Another problem that we are facing is the durability of concrete structures. In order to get durable structures adequate compaction by skilled workers is required. Now a day there is a reduction in skilled workers. This leads…
