Minnesota roads are known to become increasingly dangerous once temperatures reach below 0°C. To make the roads less of a hazard in the winters, the State of Minnesota Department of Transportation has adapted to coat the roads with salts to deice the roads. Deicers are used to eliminate or reduce…
The two types of ice that are encountered during flight are clear and rime. Clear ice is formed when the remaining liquid fragments of the water drop flows over the aircraft surface, constantly freezing as a smooth layer of solid ice. Forming occurs when droplets are bigger, such as in heavy rain or in thunderstorm clouds. Clear ice is solid, hard, heavy, and cohesive. Removing it by deicing equipment is very challenging.…
Deicers are a major need during wintertime to minimize accidents on the roads and highways. In Minnesota, where the winters are often in negative…
To make ice cream with an old-fashioned hand-crank machine, you need ice and rock salt to make the cream mixture cold enough to freeze. If you live in a cold climate, you've seen the trucks that salt and sand the streets after a snowfall to prevent ice from building up on the roads. In both of these instances, salt is acting to lower the freezing point of water.…
It's tied 3-3 with seconds to go and the USA hockey team shoot and score! Winning the game 4-3 the USA are celebrating beating the Soviets. The Soviet hockey team was the more dominant team of the amateur international hockey league. On the other hand the American hockey team was made up almost entirely of college players. The hockey game also known as the miracle of ice was played on Feb.22,1980.…
The life and death of the Iceman is one of histories greatest and perhaps most interesting mysteries. The area the body was found in, the items he was carrying and the position the corpse was found in is the subject of much speculation surrounding the cause of his death.…
The Iceman was discovered on the 19th September 1991 by a German couple, Helmut and Erika Simons, who were hiking near the Austrian and Italian border in the Alps. They both had wandered slightly off trail when Erika spotted a head and shoulders sticking out of the ice, she first thought it was a discarded doll, but it was later found out to be an ancient traveler now known as the Iceman. The Iceman was quickly named Otzi, after the valley Otzhal that was north of his death site. At one glance, there really wasn't anything that special about Otzi, the significance of him was that he had become the oldest, most prehistoric and well preserved mummy in the world, not since Tutankhamen had anything stunned the world this much. After the discovery of Otzi, many questions started arising, the main focus question was- Why else was the Iceman such a significant discovery? Many issues also came up; some issues to be discussed include the ethical issues, scientific issues, and heritage issues. The discovery was overwhelming to the scientific world and the people in the world, there were many theories and speculations to what might have happened to ice man in the last few moments of his life, theories on how old he was and who he was.…
Stay safe. This is promoted by safeguarding. All staff are trained to notice things that might not be quite right and then will do everything they can to make it right.…
Identify the hazards. Decide who might be harmed and how. Evaluate the risks and decide on precaution. Record your findings and implement them. Review your assessment and update if necessary.…
My first article is the "UNESCO World Heritage site film on Los Glaciares National Park in Argentina". This clip tell you Los Glaciares is the third largest ice field in the world and how the snow falls and become a part of the ice fields. Both were very interesting and provided me with a better understanding of glaciers and how they can support and sustain many communities around the world and the connection to global warming.…
To determine whether or not NaCl is the best deicer we administered three days of separate experiments. These experiments helped us to find our deicer’s maximum freezing point depression, its H, and its overall efficiency as a deicer. The information obtained through these experiments is crucial to public safety during the winter as the ability to melt ice on roads can be the difference in saving someone’s life. Also, to have an efficient deicer that is proficient in the conditions needed, and is economically savvy for whoever is supplying the salt for these roads is essential when testing for deicing quality.…
Climate changes occur naturally over long periods of time on Earth, and it has been this way throughout Earth’s history. Currently, anthropological influences on earth have triggered a quickening rise in global temperatures and this in turn is causing a rapid change in earth’s climate. One of the major changes currently happening on earth is the melting of the polar ice caps. Major impacts relating to the melting of the polar ice caps include changes in ocean temperature, changes in ocean salinity, sea level rise/ flooding, changes in ocean circulations, loss of biodiversity, and loss of ecosystems as well as their services. All of these impacts could lead to devastating consequences for many…
The scientific community is in agreement that climate change is taking place, and the impacts are significant. Different groups have made attempts to highlight some of these effects through various media. The series Ice Age, produced by the Blue Sky Studios, highlights many issues related to climate change and the effects climate change has on our environment. After watching the series Ice Age (2002), Ice Age: The Meltdown (2006) and Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs (2009), there are several things related to climate change that are brought out.…
The other factor that could have been considered is interaction between higher level manager with its co-worker or subordinate. This help to eliminate minor even major misconception in a unit. For instance, a meeting should be held more frequent. Other than that, maintenance on software, hardware or any form of appliances should be done regularly so any form of break down won’t occur.…
