The paper outlines how fire protection systems are applied to the buildings to enhance life safety and protection of these premises. It uses authentic company’s data and information such as Mircom Technologies, Secutron Technologies, and National Fire Protection Associations (NFPA) to support the analysis. It also uses scholarly articles to gather relevant information of fire…

Positive train control (PTC) is an effective technology that aims to ease heavy-haul freight railroading in the United States of America. It also serves to protect track workers, prevent train collisions, and enforce permanent and temporary speed restrictions. PTC offers numerous advantages such as improved safety, increased network capacity, improved service, and lower operation costs….

Auto-braking systems have undergone a series of changes. After the invention of cars, it was not easy for people to bring them to a halt. The first cars applied simple braking systems that were not reliable. For instance, they relied on a simple lever system made of wood that moved against the wheels whenever the…

In the present digitized world, an intellectual property (IP) of an entity is often its biggest asset [HYPERLINK \l “Rob06” 1]. Many financial and time resources can be saved, and litigation and frustration avoided if the entity’s policy outlines the terms of usage and ownership of intellectual property. Having presented the idea to a new…

Types of Chromatography Chromatography is a technique that uses the mobile phase, liquids, and gasses, to carry the components in a sample through the stationary phase to resolve it by sorption-desorption steps. There are various types of chromatography processes, which include high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), gas chromatography (GS), and thin layer chromatography (TLC). The High-Performance…

ISSUES INVOLVED IN PRE-CLINICAL EVALUATION OF BIOTECH PRODUCTS Biotechnology entails the genetic modification of living organisms, so as to fit desirable traits. The desirable characteristics could be tolerance to disease, increased yield or output, early maturity periods, tolerance to weather, among other advantages. The desirable gene is injected into the system of a host organism…

Currently, humanity requires coal, oil, and natural gas to meet most its energy needs and, therefore, the dependence on fossil fuels is a great problem. Fossil fuels are a limited resource, and its consumption leads to environmental pollution. Due to these circumstances, people began looking for alternative sources of energy. Renewable energy sources represent an…

Right from the discovery of basic things such as fire by early people, human beings have been in a constant quest to solve most of the problems that surround them. Every day, they look for new ways how they can make their lives easier. The most recent advancement in the technological world is that of…

Short-Stay hospital beds are mainly associated with acute care. Acute care is a type of secondary care in which the patient obtains treatment for a very short time (Mitchell, McNair & Jones 1998). However, the whole period is characterized by active care. Patients who are admitted to the hospital for acute treatment are described as…

What Are the Benefits and Potential Problems they Present to the Transportation World? The automated and connected vehicles technologies were designed with the purpose to make transportation safer. New technologies used in these vehicles aim to develop network communication in the infrastructure (V21), vehicles (V2V), and private communication devices (V2X). The importance of these technologies…

Conceptually, a net-zero energy building (NZEB) is a residential or a commercial building that produces as much energy as it consumes over the period of a year. This technology has highly reduced energy requirements, and the efficacy advantages have been made in such a way that the deficit of energy needed can be sourced from…

Supply chain management for multinational corporations has become challenging because of the globalisation of their operations (Ayers 2012). Since globalisation has created opportunities in the international markets, companies have taken up the chance to establish the manufacturing bases in different countries in order to exploit the economies of location. Although production in such low-cost regions…
