Shelter multiple

A fire-resistant building is located in the facility, 75 ft (23 m) from the nearest tank, and 25 ft (7.5 m) from the nearest edge of the dike wall. The building contains tank field monitoring and control equipment, provides shelter to the operators, and also houses administrative support activities. The building is equipped with multiple means of egress. [Pg.22]

Although not as effective as a thick layer of concrete, multiple layers of other materials (e.g., a roof and several floors) may also be effective shields. For example, fallout will land on the roof of a multiple-story building. The roof and floors will keep the fallout away from individuals seeking shelter in inner rooms or a basement. Additionally, the multiple layers of wood, steel, and concrete help reduce dose levels in the shelter. [Pg.141]

Where physical stream switching is acceptable, this arrangement allows for multiple sampling fast loops to feed a single near-infrared analyzer, with stream switching controlled by the analyzer. The analyzer will most likely need to be hazardous area comphant, but may be either located in a dedicated analyzer shelter, or may be field-mounted. [Pg.139]

Direct access to the air raid shelters, which evolved from the multiple division of the morgue/ gas chamber , was possible through a newly added entrance with sluice, which today is represented as the entryway taken by the victims, although the gas chamber had no entrance in that location—as a matter of fact, it had no direct entrance from the outside at all.163 Toilets were likewise built into the former washroom at this time. [Pg.83]

Staffing. What staffing will be necessary to maintain health professionals in shelter for multiple shifts and settings ... [Pg.73]

Just like fractions, ratios can be reduced to smaller terms. Someone may count that the shelter has 32 dogs and 16 cats. They would be correct to say that there is a 32 to 16 ratio of dogs to cats. Mathematically, U) = y. Notice that when dealing with a 2 1 ratio, the total must be a multiple of 2 + 1, or 3. Let s check this. The shelter has 32 dogs + 16 cats = 48 dogs and cats. 48 is indeed a multiple of 3. [Pg.185]

How crustaceans respond to chemical cues of elevated predation risk can be influenced by a variety of factors (see Fig. 18.2). Animals are always detecting multiple stimuli in a number of sensory modalities and those inputs can clearly alter responses to chemical danger cues. When the crayfish Pacifastacus leniusculus was exposed to both visual and chemical cues associated with predation risk, the reduction in locomotion and increase in shelter use was greater than when either stimulus was presented alone (Blake and Hart 1993). Detection of multiple cues related to increased predation risk clearly can be an indication of greater probability of predatory activity. [Pg.361]

July 6, 2013, Lac-Megantic, Quebec. An unattended 74-car freight train carrying Bakken crude oil ran away and derailed in the downtown area of Lac-Magantic. The incident was one of the worst railroad disasters in Canadian history. A huge fire and multiple explosions resulted. Officials evacuated about 2,000 people to shelters. The incident left 42 people confirmed dead and 5 others missing. The event destroyed more than 30 buildings in the town center. [Pg.187]

Shelterbelt Systems. When planted upwind from croplands, windbreaks provide linear shelter that reduces soil erosion. These windbreaks may include mixtures of trees and shrubs. A single row of trees does not provide a solid wall of protection, so it is necessary for multiple rows to be planted in order to create a stratified, continuous canopy to block wind. To reduce excess runoff and soil erosion related to water flow, contour hedgerows are planted along contours of moderate to steep slopes and can slow water movement. Contour hedgerows can be a less... [Pg.26]

Harbors are bnilt to provide a sheltered environment for the mooring of shipe and vessels. For some wave periods the semi-enclosed harbor basin acts as a resonator to amplify the wave motions in the harbor due to the combined effects of wave diffractions, refractions, and multiple reflections from the boundaries. This undesirable wave motion could induce significant ship motions, damage ship and dock facihties, and delay loading and imloading activities if the resonant wave periods are close to that of the ship mooring system. Harbor plaimers and engineers need to model the wave induced oscillations as new harbor layouts are contemplated. [Pg.695]

Re-crystallization and deposition processes most likely formed the calcite portion of the accretion when water containing soluble calcium carbonate coated the shelter wall. Formation of individual calcite layers would have occurred with multiple events throughout the entire history of the painting even up until the present time. ESR and TL measure accumulated electron traps produced as the newly formed calcium carbonate accretion is exposed to ionizing radiation. If the environmental radiation dose rate is known, then the time of crystal formation or when the accretion was deposited can be determined. [Pg.31]

Humanitarian relief supplies typically comprise multiple products such as food, water, blankets, medicine, and shelter. In their review, Torre et al. (2012) discuss models for the delivery of multiple commodities with differing transportation costs and demands. Balcik et al. (2008) explicitly model the difference between single-use perishable items and multi-use non-perishable items, with demand backlogging for non-perishable items and demand lost for perishable items. [Pg.255]

The term sick building syndrome was first used in 1984 by a Danish-born Yale biophysicist in a Swedish publication and quickly proliferated in the English-language medical literature and in media accounts of problem office buildings on both sides of the Atlantic. The name was immediately controversial—how could a building properly be called sick Moreover, the events sbs described were themselves strange in form—imperceptible chemical exposures combined with multiple symptoms. Could such events be proved real. Were offices, homes, schools, and mails—spaces previously understood as shelters from hazard—polluted ... [Pg.83]
