R = the average rate of star formation in our galaxy fs = the fraction of stars that are suitable suns for planetary systems fp = the fraction of suitable suns with planetary systems ne = the mean number of planets that are capable of supporting life fi = the fraction of such planets on which life actually originates fi = the fraction of such planets on which some form of intelligence arises fc = the fraction of such intelligent species that develop the ability and desire to communicate with other civilizations L = the mean lifetime (in years) of a communicative civilization... 

As for radiography it seems that the lack of attention is due to a combination of trends and fashion, coupled to a general unawareness of this technique amongst the civil engineering community.

Each local emergency planning committee was responsible for developing an emergency response phm by October 17, 1987. An LEPC was to be composed of elected stale and local officials police, fire, civil defense, and public health professionals representatives of community groups ...

Although a plan for a city dii ided by a river may not be applicable to a desert city on a seismic fault, duplication can be an enemy of cost efficiency. Thus wherever possible, any emergency plans diat already exist in die community should be used as a starting point. Coinmunity groups diat may have developed such plans include civil defense organizadons, fire departments, die Red Cross, public health agencies, and local industry councils. Existing plans should be studied and their applicability to the proposed community plan evaluated. 

Calls to help the wider community were frequent and, always, he seemed able to find time to assist. For 15 years, he was chief scientific advisor for civil defence in the Midland Region of the United Kingdom. As a member of the...

During the history of the human settlement in the Ebro basin, the river channel has played an important role as a frontier line but also as a communication line. The Ebro River basin was a crucial scenario for hard and bloody battles, such as the Ebro battle which occurred at the lower part of the Ebro basin During the Spanish Civil War (1936-1939). Hydrology played a military role during this battle, with sudden openings of upstream dams in order to interrupt the crossing of the infantry. 

Our duty, as responsible researchers, committed environmentalists and components of the civil community, is to seriously pursue the solutions appearing objectively more sustainable, without yielding to fashions, obtuse philosophies and, even worse, lobbies, be they on the side of industries or on that of the extreme environmentalists. 

Emergency response plans (ERPs) are nothing new to chemical industries, since many have developed ERPs to deal with natural disasters, accidents, violence in the workplace, civil unrest, and so on. Because chemical industries are a vital part and ingredient of our way of life, it has been prudent for chemical industries to develop ERPs in order to help ensure the continuous flow of water to the community. However, many chemical industry ERPs developed prior to 9/11 do not explicitly deal with terrorist threats, such as intentional fire, explosion, or contamination. Recently, the U.S. Congress and federal regulators have required chemical industries to prepare or revise, as necessary, an ERP to reflect the findings of their vulnerability assessment and to address terrorist threats. 

Probably the majority of Americans would prefer to be excused from loading this country with another negro problem. We may swallow a small black morsel like Hawaii but if we must expand largely, our acquisitions should be civilized Caucasian communities, such as can adapt to our democratic system. Barbarian dominions can never be amalgamated with the American republic, and we want no such satrapies.
