Manipulate stock culture environment
This unit covers a broad spectrum of issues related to
manipulating stock culture environments in the aquaculture industry. Activity 1
covers the selecting of equipment, checking that it is functioning, recognising
problems or malfunctions and if necessary repairing equipment. Also covers
calibrating equipment to manufacturer's guidelines. Activity 2 covers
emergency/contingency plans. It guides the student through an emergency and looks at
solutions and crisis management
Harvest stock
This unit covers the correct procedures for harvesting
stock in the aquaculture industry. Activity 1 focuses on what needs to be done to
prepare for harvesting. Includes checking the harvesting schedule, weather
forecasts, pond conditions and conditions that affect harvesting. Also includes
choosing appropriate harvesting equipment and protective clothing for harvesting.
Activity 2 covers monitoring stock behaviour and reporting non-standard behaviour to
the supervisor. U
Handle Stock
This unit covers the correct procedures for handling stock
and other tasks in the aquaculture industry. Activity 1 focuses on the importance of
preparing a plan of action so that tasks are completed correctly and on time. It
also shows how water and weather conditions affect the level of stock distress, and
the need to plan an efficient route so that stock can be transported with only a
minimal risk of stress and damage. Activity 2 covers the processes involved in
checkin
Monitor Stock and Environmental Conditions
This unit covers the knowledge and processes involved in
monitoring stock health in the aquaculture industry. Activity 1 gives an
introduction to water quality factors such as dissolved oxygen levels, pH, hardness,
alkalinity, water temperature and salinity, and how these affect stock and other
water quality factors. Activity 2 covers the location to take a water sample,
methods of taking a water sample, sending it for analysis and interpreting results
of water analysis.
15.093 Optimization Methods (SMA 5213) (MIT)
This course introduces the principal algorithms for linear, network, discrete, nonlinear, dynamic optimization and optimal control. Emphasis is on methodology and the underlying mathematical structures. Topics include the simplex method, network flow methods, branch and bound and cutting plane methods for discrete optimization, optimality conditions for nonlinear optimization, interior point methods for convex optimization, Newton's method, heuristic methods, and dynamic programming and optimal
3.185 Transport Phenomena in Materials Engineering (MIT)
This course deals with solid-state diffusion, homogeneous and heterogeneous chemical reactions, and spinodal decomposition. Topics covered include: heat conduction in solids, convective and radiative heat transfer boundary conditions; fluid dynamics, 1-D solutions to the Navier-Stokes equations, boundary layer theory, turbulent flow, and coupling with heat conduction and diffusion in fluids to calculate heat and mass transfer coefficients.
TALAT Lecture 3203: The Filling of Castings
This lecture describes the function and design of all parts of the running and gating systems used in the production of castings. The students will be able to tackle the design of a simple running system in a systematic manner. Basic knowledge of foundry processes and basic mathematics is assumed.
Applications of Vector Operators for Surface Atmospheric/Oceanic Processes
Vector operations are crucial for the understanding of many processes affecting surface conditions in the atmosphere and the oceans. Gradients, dot and cross products, and the Laplacian of surface variables (e.g., pressure, temperature, moisture, salinity, wind and ocean currents to name a few) are concepts that create considerable angst for students in meteorology and physical oceanography classes. The purpose of this activity is to teach vector concepts within the context of the atmospheric an
International Classification of Function, Disability and Health
This package was originally designed for undergraduates in Medicine at the University of Nottingham. It will also be useful to students in nursing, allied health professions and pharmacy. Practitioners in these fields, who are new to the ICF, will also find it a useful introduction. It describes the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF), a classification system published by the World Health Organisation to describe health status. This system is widely used in r
Ashes of Roses Evening Dress
'Ashes of Roses' synthetic chiffon dress, long batwing sleeves, deep cuffs fastened with five self-covered buttons. Bodice and skirt lined, sleeves unlined. Bodice is blouson style, skirt is full and cut in panels. Lining has long zip fastener, bodice back is secured with four self-covered buttons (slightly larger than those on cuffs). Neck is bound in chiffon, hem is overlocked. - from the The Betty Smithers Design Collection at Staffordshire University.
Delamination cracks in h-BN particles.
h-BN particles were subjected to compressive stress in the (0001) planes (within a silicon nitride particulate-reinforced silicon carbide composite). The occurrence of BN inclusions results from the introduction of colloidal BN into the hot isostatic pressing process. They are formed from B2O3 present as a thin surface film on the BN particles in the barrier layer. B2O3 will be molten during the pressing process and will diffuse rapidly into the powder compact and react with Si3N4 to form BN. Su
Tackling Diabetes and Obesity in the UK's South Asian Communities
Recent research has highlighted the problems of growing rates of diabetes and obesity in the UK's South Asian communities. A number of factors, including diet, lifestyle and genetics, means that there is increased exposure to these conditions and the associated risk of heart disease, strokes and other problems.
Researchers at the University of Warwick have been working closely with South Asian communities in Leamington Spa and Coventry to develop strategies for tackling the obesity time bomb. W
Dissolved Oxygen and Biochemical Oxygen Demand
This EPA website provides general information about dissolved oxygen, including what it is, sampling and equipment considerations, and sampling and analysis protocols. The site also features a chart of dissolved oxygen solubility as a function of temperature.
