Having studied the drawings and systematically worked out the essential services required I have compiled the following information and background information. Water services should be designed and installed in accordance with the recommendations of BS 6700, the Water Byelaws, relevant statutory regulations, byelaws, other relevant British Standards and manufacturers' recommendations. For the purpose of this coursework I will not be specifying which preferred manufacturers in which I would use. The system I
End of Unit Assignment - Site Surveying
Lecturer's Name: Tony Lomas Submission Date: 06/06/05 Candidate Number: 0478764 End of Unit Assignment - Site Surveying .) Explain the procedures for setting out and levelling of foundations for steel framed and pre-cast concrete buildings. Setting out involves the transfer of positions and levels of buildings and associated features from those dimensions and co-ordinates marked on a drawing or plan or computer printout to the ground by a variety of methods and instruments designed for that purpose. Precision is required in ensuring that the building and placement level match the position shown on the drawings relative to Ordnance survey references expressed by reference to longitude and latitude, plus established boundary points for the site; also ordnance bench marks (OBM) that indicate levels relative to ordnance datum i.e. mean sea level at Newlyn Cornwall. OBM's are frequently found chiselled into buildings and can be transferred to site with temporary benchmarks (TBM) suitably marked and protected from damage or disturbance. The purpose of setting out is to ensure correct positioning and dimensional control during construction. A good reference guide to the degree of accuracy required in setting out buildings is covered by BS5606: 1990 Accuracy in Building. Levelling is the establishment of a level height plane for the site from which measurements can be

Although the founders stayed on~ they soon became dissatisfied with their positions.

In 1961. Hoerni and three other founders resigned and established Ameleo (later Teledyne Semiconductor). Other. lowerlevel executives followed suit. and IC firms began to crop up all over Silicon Valley. bearing such high-tech neologisms as Signetics. Intersil, Advanced Micro Devices, and Qualidyne.

Computer Program and Program Development Cycle
Computer Program and Program Development Cycle University of Phoenix Mayada Set PRG/210 Fundamental of Programming with Algorithm and Logics Instructor Name: Guillermo A. Hernandez Date: January 26, 2009 Computer Program A programming language is like a natural language in many ways. It has words, symbols, and rules of grammar. The grammatical rules are called the syntax of the language. A programmer forms an instruction by combining the words and symbols according to the syntax rules. The instruction formed by the programmer has some meaning; that is, it tells the computer to do something. Unlike in a natural language, if a programmer makes an error in writing an instruction in a programming language, the instruction does not mean anything; the computer is not able to understand it. To write a program, a programmer must know the syntax rules of the language he or she is using. If the programmer does not abide by those rules, the program has errors and the computer is not being able to execute it. Three fundamental types of programming languages are: - Machine languages - Assembly languages High-level languages The first generation programming languages is machine language, which consist of a set of commands, represented as a series of 1s and 0s, corresponding to the instruction set that is hard-wired into the circuit of a microprocessor.

Environmental Impacts Case Study: Production of Iron and Steel
HANI BULGASIM STUDENT NO. 200476217 ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS CASE STUDY ASSIGNMENT Environmental Impacts Case Study: Production of Iron and Steel Sources Steel is manufactured by the chemical reduction of iron ore, using an integrated steel manufacturing process or a direct reduction process (IFC). Steel is produced by the conversion of iron into the steel in a Basic Oxygen Furnace. Another method of steel making is in electric arc furnace from scrap steel and sometimes reduced iron is used as well. The three basic steps of steel making are: Cokemaking Coke is the substance used to reduce iron ore; it is a solid carbon fuel. Coke production begins with pulverized, bituminous coal. The coal is placed into a sealed coke oven which is then heated to extremely high temperatures for approximately 20 hours. Coke will usually be produced in large batches, with many ovens operating at the same time. In order to operate more efficiently heat is often transferred from one oven to another (ISTC). Ironmaking To make iron- coke, iron ore, limestone and heated air are fed into a blast furnace. The coke combusts when it comes into contact with the hot air, this combusted coke provides the heat and carbon sources for the iron making process. The limestone reacts with the acidic impurities (slag) causing them to float to the top which allows them to be skimmed off easily (ISTC). Steel

A comparison Of The Education System In Saudi Arabia And Australia Prepared by: Badria Ziadi Prepared for: Michael Submission date: 9\12\2009 Education is very important in a person's life. It is the best way to success and opening a child's mind to new ideas. Children need education to understand the system of earth, their bodies, communities and to train their mind to think. Education is vital for children in order to achieve success in their future. Therefore, it helps children to get a good job, more confident, knowledge and get people's respect. It affects children's whole mind, soul, their creation and how to deal with their society. The education system differs from country to another country. Each country has a unique education system to achieve development and progress for their children. Although the education systems are different in most countries around the world, the aim of this education is similar. The purpose of this report is to outline the similarities and differences between Saudi Arabia and Australia in the education system. There are some similarities in the education system between Saudi Arabia and Australia. In both countries, the early childhood education is not compulsory such as: kindergarten which starts from age 3 to 5 years old in order to develop their skills and knowledge. Also, children wear a school uniform, which varies from one state
The technology used in blu-ray discs and players. The Blu-ray Disc enables the recording, rewriting and play back of up to 25 gigabytes (GB) of data on a single sided single layer 12cm CD/DVD size disc using a 405nm blue-violet laser.
FINAL YEAR SEMINAR THE REPORT on BLU-RAY DISCS Made By - Samarth Saxena 6EE - 067 Sec - 'B' ABSTRACT Blu-ray, also known as Blu-ray Disc (BD) is the name of a next-generation optical disc format jointly developed by the Blu-ray Disc Association (BDA), a group of leading consumer electronics and PC companies (including Apple, Dell, Hitachi, HP, JVC, LG, Mitsubishi, Panasonic, Pioneer, Philips, Samsung, Sharp, Sony, TDK and Thomson). The format was developed to enable recording, rewriting and playback of high-definition video (HD), as well as storing large amounts of data. The Blu-ray Disc using blue-violet laser achieves over 2-hour digital high definition video recording on a 12cm diameter CD/DVD size phase change optical disc. The Blu-ray Disc enables the recording, rewriting and play back of up to 25 gigabytes (GB) of data on a single sided single layer 12cm CD/DVD size disc using a 405nm blue-violet laser. By employing a short wavelength blue violet laser, the Blu-ray Disc successfully minimizes its beam spot size by making the numerical aperture (NA) on a field lens that converges the laser 0.85. This also allows for disc better readout and an increased recording density. The Blu-ray Disc's tracking pitch is reduced to 0.32um, almost half of that of a regular DVD, achieving up to 25 GB high-density recording on a single sided disc. As the Blu-ray Disc utilizes
