Research analysis indicates that hydraulic jumps may occur in places like rivers and any other fast flowing liquid channels. They occur when liquids with a high rate of kinetic energy are slowed down immediately leading to its format. These hydraulic jumps can happen in in places like waterfalls and also in fast flowing cataracts. According to Bonn 2009, a hydraulic jump occurs in open channel flows which include spillways and rivers. A high velocity of liquid discharges into a lower velocity zone and an immediate rise occurs on the surface of the fluid. An immediate slowdown of the rapidly flowing liquid occurs ...

Abstract

Electronic waste is a growing global problem and as the demand and supply of electronic products grow, so does the–e- waste. Consumerism is on a steady rise, and people want new mobiles and computers every few months. That means more and more landfills and incinerators to take care of discarded and obsoleted electronics and potentially seeping of toxic substances like lead and mercury into groundwater. This can lead to serious health hazards and create toxic footprints. The essay looks at new developing technologies for the recycling of computers and creates a report on the basis of the quadruple ...

Waste generation is a major problem global problem, as the world’s population rises, the quantity of domestic and industrial waste increases. The main strategy employed in waste management is the 3R approach of reduction, reuse and recycling. Environmental experts have suggested the inclusion of recovery to create a 4R strategic approach to waste management (Yearley, 2005a, p 7). The recovery of energy from wastes is a new approach to waste management that maximizes the energy derived from waste and minimizes the final quantity of waste disposed. More needs to be done to find safer approaches to strategic waste management and the improvement ...

Reducing the Negative Outcomes of Risks

Effective and comprehensive project risk management scans the physical, technical and organizational environments and subjects it to a disciplined process that will identify, evaluate and plan the responses for risks.
The risk management process will enforce the analysis and decisions of what is the best that can be done for each risk. The computation for risk value will reveal the severity of the risk that will demand action and decisions. Some of the risks assessed are daunting such as toxic contaminations and catastrophic events such as tsunamis that avoidance responses are the only options and even question the feasibility ...

The recession was caused by unregulated capitalism; Karl Marx once stated that capitalism sowed ...

Despite overwhelming technological progress and advancement in every aspect of human life, technologies fail sometimes. Moreover, it is not even hardware flaws that are the most dangerous. Software failures are far more dangerous and harder to fix. The waste of money on pretty preventable mistakes is huge, and if people were more cautious and attentive to details, much money could have been saved. The issue gets worse, as IT and technologies develop. Software is everywhere, and its failure is unavoidable, but prompt and effective response can help avoiding pitiful consequences. Many of its errors are predictable and avoidable. A ...
