Tsunami Awareness Kit General Tsunami Resources Tsunami Mitigation Strategies Introduction While tsunamis can not be prevented‚ or their destructive effects entirely avoided‚ actions can be taken to mitigate the risks of this hazard‚ thereby reducing the impacts on life‚ physical structures and livelihoods. The first step in mitigating the tsunami hazard and reducing vulnerability is to gain an understanding of the threat and potential effects should a tsunami occur. Some of the more direct

regularly. His method of using pi was used up until about the 15th century‚ in India‚ where it evolved into a more modern form(Toomer). Archimedes was the first mathematician to find the buoyancy of an object using its actual weight(Archimedes; Hirshfeld;Archimedes‚Encyclopedia). His method of determining buoyancy is still used by many scientist today to build vessels such as boats‚ submarines‚ and aircraft carriers. In common math‚ multiplying a number using exponents is used to measure the size

Butterfly cod What is a butterfly cod? Butterfly cods are spectacular fish with brilliant colouring and long defensive spiny fins. It is part of the scorpionfish family‚ but unlike other members of this family which often rely on camouflage for protection‚ they swim freely around coral reefs‚ leaving their venomous fins to give them 360 degree protection. They include the firefish (Pterois species) and lionfish (Dendrochirus species). What do they look like? Butterfly cod are characterised by

parametric study of weld simulation was performed to demonstrate and understand the effectiveness of individual simulation parameters on heat and fluid flow in the molten weld pool and the final configuration of stationary welds. Constricted current density drastically increased the weld penetration and decreased the weld radius‚ primarily by reducing the convexity of the weld deposit and promoting heat transfer to the bottom of the weld pool. Conversely‚ decreased arc force and increased arc pressure

abovementioned quote by author Robert Byrne which has intrigued me since I first read it many years ago. Overall I have found throughout my life that there are at least nine vital reasons for leading a life of purpose‚ which are: maturity‚ tranquility‚ buoyancy‚ confidence. Initially I believe the ultimate gift of leaving a purposeful life is overall maturity. Great American film director John McNaughton “Maturity begins to grow when you can sense your concern for others outweighing your concern

these formulations showed a floating lag time of less than 5 mins and floating time of 24 h with a prolonged release but failed to show desired lag phase (fig.1). The decrease in floating lag time can be attributed to use of Compritol ATO 888 (low density polymer) in the core. The absence of lag phase during drug release can be attributed to presence of less amount of coat than core and effect of pressure generated by sodium bicarbonate on coat of the tablet. Hence‚ to achieve complete lag phase and

recorded the rate of oxygen diffusion into the environment by observing the time it takes photoautotrophic specimens to reach buoyancy. The results produced from 40 mL of H2O‚ 1%‚ 0.6% and 0.3% NaHCO3 were within 25 minutes of initial submersion. The plurality of submerged photoautotrophic specimens resulted in release rates greater than 10 minutes for initial and final buoyancies in the solutions.
