Stairs

At the end of the banquet, we ascended the stairs to the Gold Room, where there was dancing till the early hours of the next day. Judy and 1 were, however, too exhausted after the long day, and after some private time with our Royal hosts we returned (or shall 1 say floated back) to our hotel. 

The majority of particleboard is used in furniture and cabinetry. A significant amount is used as floor decking in manufactured homes and as undedayment in conventional homes. Particleboard is used as shelving in homes and industrial businesses, as door cores in soHd core doors, in stair stepping, door frames, and a host of uses requiring small flat parts as a starting point. 

The layout should ensure that exhausts are not placed close to fresh air intakes and that fire sprinkler protection for present and future requirements, eg, under stairs, storage racks, overhangs, covered walks, etc, is available. AH facility equipment must be stmcturaHy secured as well as freeze protected. 

Lethal Arrhythmias. Arrhythmias are a second significant source of cardiovascular problems. An arrhythmia is an abnormal or irregular heart rhythm. Bradyarrhythmias result in heart rates that are too slow tachyarrhythmias cause abnormally fast rates. A bradyarrhythmia can be debiUtating, causing a person to be short of breath, unable to climb stairs, black out, or even to go into cardiac arrest. Tachyarrhythmias can be un settling and painful at best, life-threatening at worst. 

Designation of restricted areas, e.g. containing flammable materials, eye protection zones, hearing protection zones, radiological hazards, microbiological hazards Ensuring freedom from obstruction of roads, stairs, gangways, escape routes Control of vehicles... 

Designs should be based on knowledge of what the human body (and human nature) will do. Include educated operators in design reviews. The HAZOP methodology for process hazard analysis offers an excellent opportunity to identify design and procedural opportunities for inherently safer systems. After all, the OP in HAZOP stands for operability (COPS, 1992). For example, a safe start-up procedure that requires the operator to walk up and down the stairs three times to manipulate valves in the correct sequence can be made inherently safer by locating the valves so that operator has to walk up the stairs only once during the start-up.

Inclined bounding faces can cause modeling failures in orthogonal meshes, as the face is modeled as a "stair instead of a plane face. The wall friction of such a stair is sometimes not accounted for. 

Keep stairs clear of debris. The same applies at a plant. Tliis is a safety and accident concern...

Few people do manual labor anymore. Technology has modified behavior so that most people burn 2,500 to 3,000 calories a day, not 4,000 or more calories as was common up until the 1960s. The washboard was replaced by the washing machine the manual push mower was replaced by the power mower the snow shovel was replaced by the snow blower the stairs were replaced by the elevator. Technology has made it easy to be inactive, yet few individuals will blame technology for their obesity. 

Figure 13.12 The 1H NMR spectrum of methyl 2,2-dimethylpropanoate. Integrating the peaks in a "stair-step" manner shows that they have a 1 3 ratio, corresponding to the ratio of the numbers of protons (3.91 responsible for each peak.

Integration (Section 13.10) A technique for measuring the area under an NMR peak to determine the relative number of each kind of proton in a molecule. Integrated peak areas are superimposed over the spectrum as a "stair-step" line, with the height of each step proportional to the area underneath the peak.
