Firefighter Safety We are the most technically advanced nation in the free world but yet we have not been able to reduce the number of firefighter fatalities over the years. Its one of the great mysteries of the world today. Our gear is better than what they wore thirty years ago‚ its better than what they wore ten years ago and we still lose an average of one hundred firefighters every year. I know that not all are dying in structure fires but just one is one too many. Today we have many

Diaphragms are thus an essential part of the seismic force-resisting system and require design attention by the structural engineer to ensure the structural system performs adequately during earthquake shaking. The horizontal elements can consist of truss elements or horizontal diagonal bracing and diaphragms are constructed as essentially solid‚ planar elements made of wood‚ steel‚ concrete or combinations of these. Fig.1.1 Isometric view of a basic building structural system comprising diaphragms

practices to business strategy. SHRM can also be defined as the linkage of HR functions with strategic goals and organisational objectives to improve business performance and cultivate an organisational culture that fosters innovation and flexibility (Truss & Gratton‚ 1994). As the term remains unclear‚ it could be said that scholars agree on a central element of SHRM which is that SHRM involves designing and implementing a set of internally consistent policies and practices so as to ensure that the firm’s

SCREWS Anjori Grover Vasesi ------------------------------------------------- SCREWS ------------------------------------------------- Introduction A screw‚ or bolt‚ is a type of fastener characterized by a helical ridge‚ known as an external thread or just thread‚ wrapped around a cylinder. Some screw threads are designed to mate with a complementary thread‚ known as an internal thread‚ often in the form of a nut or an object that has the internal thread formed into it. Other screw threads are
