Smallpox is a highly infectious disease caused by the variola virus‚ an orthopoxvirus. Humans are the only known reservoir of this virus‚ thus no known animal or insect reservoirs have been identified. As routine vaccination is no longer undertaken‚ exposure to variola virus has the potential to cause high rates of morbidity and mortality in human population. Following an incubation period‚ infected individuals manifest with prodromal symptoms that include high fever‚ malaise‚ back pain and prostration

`A 20cm diameter pipe of length 100m with z = 60m with f = 0.02 and loss of head due to entrance coefficient k = 0.5. What is the flow rate? Solution: Find the width in m of the channel at the back of a suppressed weir using the following data: H = 28.5cm; d = 2.485m; Q = 0.84 cu.m/sec. Consider the velocity of approach and use the Francis formula. Solution: Water flows in a 2m. wide rectangular flume at the rate of 2.75 cu.m./sec

In Tennessee Valley Auth. v. Hill‚ 437 U.S. 153 (1978) (“Tennessee Valley Auth v Hill”)‚ it was discussed whether a small endangered fish called the “snail darter” could stop the “intended transformation of the river into a 30 mile long reservoir by building the Tellico Dam. Congress had authorised funding for the project in 1967 to generate hydroelectricity‚ create recreational opportunities and flood control‚ and promote shoreline developments.” The question remains‚ what was the case about?

Water is one of the most important resources that we as a species need in order to survive. Although it is abundant on earth‚ only a few bodies of this precious resource are considered drinkable. According to the World Wildlife Fund‚ about 1.1 billion people lack access to water (2015). Everyday we use water‚ whether it’s for drinking purposes‚ going to the bathroom‚ and many other daily tasks. However‚ people have abused this privilege in having access to water. Water is unknowingly squandered by

Many people think of pollution as the air that we breathe outdoors. Not everyone realizes that the air we breathe indoors is much more polluted. There are pollutants in the atmosphere that have reached a level that is causing a threat to the health of individuals. Pollution began in the early times from the gases of molten volcanic activity being released into the atmosphere. Additional pollutants were caused by the combustion of biomass‚ volatilization of organic compounds‚ and the release of
