How do the contributions of travel and refugee medicine impact infection control currently?
Certain imported infections require specific infection control precautions, whereas many “exotic” tropical infections require only standard precautions.
Infections in recently arrived travelers and immigrants reflect microbe resistance patterns of the visited region, and may not respond to standard empiric treatments. Some of these imported antibiotic resistant bacteria have infection control implications with potential to spread locally.
Finally, travelers may serve as sentinels for emerging infections and resistance genes.
What elements of travel and refugee medicine need to be adhered to for prevention and control?
The clinician and infection control practitioner need to quickly recognize pathogens associated with common imported infections, as well as less common imported infections associated with person-to-person spread. Common syndromes in the ill returned traveler are presented below. Pathogens with specific infection control implications are presented in more detail.
Fever in the returned traveler
Symptoms, exam findings, and laboratory findings are often non-specific, and vary by region visited. The most common etiologies (and incubation period) include:
Malaria (7 days to 6+ months)
Dengue (typically 4-7 days, range 3-14 days)
Rickettsial disease (7-28 days)
Typhoid and paratyphoid (3-28+ days)*
Chikungunya (3-7 days, up to 12 days)
*Salmonella typhi and paratyphi are transmitted though fecal-oral transmission, and patients and asymptomatic carriers may transmit the disease after return from high prevalence regions (South Asia especially). Healthcare workers, childcare workers, and food handlers should have follow up stool cultures to exclude persistent carriage prior to return to work. Stool carriage may persist for months in a minority of patients, and for over a year in the 1-4% who become chronic carriers.
Other causes of fever in returned travelers include leptospirosis (water exposures), brucellosis (unpasteurized milk products), Q fever (rural travel in farm areas, and unpasteurized milk or cheese), mononucleosis, acute schistosomiasis (fresh water contact, especially in Africa), hepatitis B, and acute HIV (both with sexual contact or blood exposures). In addition to tuberculosis, endemic fungal infections (histoplasmosis), and amoebic liver abscesses may occur in travelers, refugees, and immigrants. Select diseases with infection control implications include:
Meningococcal meningitis may occur in patients returned from the meningitis belt in sub-Saharan Africa and Hajj pilgrims to Mecca. Quinolone resistance has been reported from New Delhi and North Dakota/Western Minnesota, and ciprofloxacin should not be used as post-exposure prophylaxis in imported cases from those regions.
Hepatitis E virus is an emerging worldwide cause of acute hepatitis. Water-borne outbreaks have occurred in multiple geographic regions, and fecal-oral transmission occurs. Severe disease is common in pregnant women, and in persons with liver disease.
Hepatitis A virus is the most common vaccine-preventable disease in travelers, and domestic cases remain associated with recent foreign travel. Post-exposure prophylaxis within 14 days of exposure in contacts under 40 years old may include hepatitis A vaccine rather than immunoglobulin.
Mumps cases have occurred in unimmunized visitors, and have led to large outbreaks in recent years. Many secondary cases had received two vaccine doses. Standard and droplet precautions should be maintained for 5 days after onset of parotiditis.
Measles has been imported from worldwide regions including Europe. Most cases in the U.S. occur in unimmunized individuals. Consider atypical measles in those individuals vaccinated only with inactivated measles vaccine (1963-1967).
Varicella immunity is often lacking in adults from tropical regions (particularly rural regions).
Monkeypox should be considered in travelers with a vesicular rash, fever, and lymphadenopathy after travel to Central Africa. Contact and airborne precautions should be initiated, and public health authorities alerted.
Viral hemorrhagic fever (VHF) is an uncommon cause of fever in travelers, but immediate recognition of patients is necessary since person-to-person transmission may occur. Examples include ebola, Marburg, Rift Valley fever, and Crimean Congo hemorrhagic fever (tick bites). Other hemorrhagic fevers include yellow fever and dengue hemorrhagic fever.
Consider VHF in travelers with fever within 21 days after visits to rural West and Central Africa. Contact precautions are mandatory. Where available, airborne precautions are often used. Some locales use more aggressive infection control precautions.
Respiratory symptoms in the returned traveler, refugee, or immigrant
Respiratory infections are common in travelers. Viruses are the most common pathogens, and routine bacterial pathogens such as Streptococcus pneumoniae, Mycoplasma pneumoniae and Legionella occur. Q fever should be considered in travelers returned from farm regions. Migratory parasitic infections, including Strongyloides, Ascaris, and hookworm can mimic respiratory infection. Immigrants, refugees, and travelers may also be at risk for tuberculosis, histoplasmosis, and paragonimiasis.
Respiratory infections with infection control implications are listed below.
Tuberculosis infection occurs in long-term travelers at a rate of 3.5 per 1000 person-months of travel, and active disease occurs at a rate of 0.6 per person-year in the same population. Foreign-born individuals with reactivation disease will reflect the resistance patterns of their previous region.
Influenza occurs in the southern hemisphere winter and year round in tropical regions.
H5N1 avian influenza has become endemic in domestic poultry and/or wild birds in Asia, the Near East, Europe, and Africa. Sporadic human cases have occurred, though none with the capacity for efficient human-to-human transmission (though limited transmission may have occured rarely).
H7N9 avian influenza emerged in China in 2013, and is associated with poultry exposure. Airborne precautions, eye protection, and contact precautions are recommended. H7N9 should be considered in patients with fever, cough or sore throat and travel to China (or other areas with active disease) within 10 days.
Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) is caused by a coronavirus that emerged in the Middle East in 2012. Airborne precautions, eye protection, and contact precautions are recommended. It should be considered in patients with fever, cough, signs of pneumonia, and travel to an area with ongoing cases (i.e., The Arabian Peninsula) within 14 days.
Hantavirus is associated with rodent exposures. Person-to-person spread is not common, but has probably occurred with the Andes virus in Argentina.
Melioidosis causes pneumonia (and/or skin infection) in travelers or immigrants from Southeast Asia and Northern Australia. It can present years later; and may occur in the Americas. Notify the microbiology laboratory if diagnosis is considered, both to aid identification and to prevent laboratory worker exposure. Person-to-person spread appears rare.
SARS transmission has not occurred since control of the 2003 outbreak. Unexplained pneumonia in travelers (within 10 days) to China, Hong Kong, or Taiwan, or in healthcare workers exposed to such patients, should prompt notification of the local health department and consideration of testing.
Diphtheria is rare in the U.S., but should be considered in returned travelers with pharyngitis with an adherent membrane, or membrane covered skin ulcers. Seroprotection rates in adults suggest large numbers of at risk persons. Droplet precautions and contact investigations should be initiated for post-exposure antibiotic prophylaxis and monitoring.
Pneumonic plague should be considered in acutely ill patients with travel in the previous week to rural endemic areas in Africa, South and Central Asia, South America, and the Southwestern U.S. Droplet precautions should be undertaken for suspected cases, though this infection is extremely rare in travelers.
Intestinal symptoms in the returned traveler, refugee, or immigrant
The incidence of traveler’s diarrhea is 20-50% in most tropical regions, and most episodes are caused by bacterial pathogens. The most common are enterotoxigenic and enteroaggregative Escherichia coli, Campylobacter jejuni, Salmonella spp., and Shigella spp. A minority of patients develop post-infectious irritable bowel syndrome. Diarrhea developing after travel is most commonly caused by a parasitic infection.
Travelers with diarrhea starting shortly after travel should prompt consideration of the following:
Bacterial pathogens as listed above.
Noroviruses. These are an increasingly recognized cause and/or co-pathogen in traveler’s diarrhea. It has a short incubation (1-2 days), and is transmitted by the fecal-oral route, and aerosolization of vomitus. Environmental cleaning and contract precautions are critical.
Cholera. This is an unusual infection in travelers, but should be considered in patients returning from endemic regions (incubation up to 5 days).
Clostridium difficile. This has occurred in travelers treated with antibiotics for traveler’s diarrhea.
Travelers with diarrhea starting after return should also prompt consideration for parasitic infections.
Giardia is the most common cause of diarrhea in returned travelers. Cysts in the stool are infectious.
Entamoeba histolytica is the second most common etiology of imported diarrhea-associated parasitic infection. Cysts and trophozoites in stool are infectious.
Strongyloides is the third most common parasitic etiology. Immigrants with subsequent immunosuppression (even decades later) may present with hyperinfection syndrome.
Campylobacter, Shigella, and Salmonella are the most common bacterial etiologies in returned travelers.
Filariform larvae passed in stool are infectious through human skin.
Other common gastrointestinal parasites
Ascaris eggs are not immediately infectious, as they require 18 plus days to embryonate.
Taenia solium. The ingestion of eggs passed in gravid proglottids in stool can lead to neurocysticercosis. Eggs can survive weeks in the environment.
Neurologic symptoms in the returned traveler, refugee, or immigrant
Neurologic symptoms are uncommon in returned travelers. Acute symptoms should prompt investigation for meningitis, cerebral malaria, arthropod-borne encephalitis, angiostrongyliasis, African trypanosomiasis (with travel to sub-Saharan Africa), Japanese encephalitis, West Nile, tick borne encephalitis, and rabies.
Chronic symptoms after return should prompt consideration for TB, brucellosis, HTLV-1, African trypanosomiasis, and neurocysticercosis. Neurologic symptoms that start after diarrhea should prompt consideration of ciguatera and marine toxins associated with shellfish ingestion.
Rabies should be considered in all returned travelers with altered mental status. Contact precautions with droplet precautions for invasive procedures should be implemented. Organ donation from deceased patients should not be used unless rabies is excluded from potential cases.
Meningococcal meningitis caused by quinolone resistant Neisseria has been reported in cases acquired in New Delhi India, North Dakota, and Western Minnesota. Contacts should receive alternative prophylaxis (rifampin, or ceftriaxone). Droplet precautions should be used.
Polio remains endemic in Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Nigeria, with some cases from Chad, Angola, Somalia, Camaroon, andn Kenya. Contacts of rare imported cases should undergo assessment for stool testing for virus, and receive a booster IPV. Fecal oral transmission demands contact precautionss.
Herpes virus B causes encephalitis after monkey bites or scratches. Patients with vesicular skin lesions may transmit disease.
Neurologic syndromes in immigrants
Leprosy is most likely primarily spread by respiratory droplets. Treated patients quickly become non-infectious.
Patients with neurocysticercosis are not infectious to others. If the patient or family members are also infected with intestinal Taenia solium, the passed T. solium eggs may persist in the environment and inadvertent ingestion of eggs may lead to neurocysticercosis
Imported antibiotic resistance: travelers are at risk for infection with antibiotic resistant gram-negative Enterobacteriaceae
Travel is a risk factor for infection and carriage with ESBL-producing Enterobacteriaceae.
Travelers (particularly those with healthcare exposures in South Asia) are at risk for infection with NDM-1 carbapenemase producing Enterobacteriaceae.
The role of active surveillance for NDM-1 and ESBL producers in travelers is not well defined.
Immigrant and refugee health
Immigrants and refugees to the U.S. undergo a mandatory medical evaluation prior to arrival. Non-immigrants and travelers do not undergo routine resting.
Immigrants are screened for tuberculosis (chest x-ray), syphilis, leprosy, and STDs.
HIV testing is no longer required.
Refugees and non-immigrant travelers to the U.S. are not required to show proof of vaccinations unless they later apply for permanent residency status. Immigrant visa applicants are required to undergo routine vaccinations, but are only required to receive the first dose by arrival.
Refugees from sub-Saharan Africa receive empiric malaria treatment (refugees from other regions are tested if they have symptoms).
Refugees receive albendazole and ivermectin (except African refugees from Loa Loa endemic regions, who receive albendazole and praziquantel)
The most common infections in immigrants living in Spain (mostly West African and Latin American origin) were:
Filariasis (Onchocerca, Mansonella, Loa Loa): most cases were in sub-Saharan Africans.
Intestinal parasites: the most common were Ascaris lumbricoides and Giardia intestinalis.
Malaria: mean time 2 months.
Tuberculosis: latent and active.
Chronic hepatitis: particularly Hepatitis B.
What are the key conclusions from available clinical trials or meta-analyses related to travel and refugee medicine that guide infection control practice and policies?
There is very little data to guide proper infection control practice in returned travelers. Instead, the pathogenesis of various infections is used to predict pathogens at risk for spread.
There is data on the efficacy of protective measures for the individual traveler. For example:
Malaria prophylaxis is greater than 95% effective (doxycycline, mefloquine, and atovaquone-proguanil).
Vaccine seroprotection and/or efficacy studies are summarized in Table I.
Seroprotection of travel vaccines
Disease Product Seroprotection Comment Hepatitis A Havrix 99-100% 90% + efficacy after one dose, possibly lower in over 40 year olds. VAQTA 99-100% 97% 4 weeks after 1st dose. Hepatitis B Engerix-B 96% 88% in over 40 years old. Hepatitis A/B Twinrix 99.9% Hep A98.5% Hep B Accelerated series (1, 7, 21-30 day) provides 63% Hep B and 98.5% Hep A seroprotection. Typhoid TY21a (oral) Efficacy 60-80% in endemic regions. Vi (IM) 88-96% seroconversion in US population; Efficacy in endemic regions 50-74%. Yellow fever YF-VAX 95% Measles MMR 95% first dose, 99+% two doses Atypical measles in adults immunized before 1968 when have not received live vaccines. Mumps MMR 96% first dose Large numbers of mumps cases in the 2005 Iowa outbreak had received two doses of MMR. Varicella Seroconversion 99% 2 dose regimen 80% efficacy. Meningococcus Menactra and Menveo 97-100% seroconversion Menveo non-inferior with higher titers. Menomune 97-99% Japanese encephalitis virus Ixiaro 96.4% In a booster study, seroprotection was 69.2% 15 months after primary series. JE-VAX 90+%
Antibiotic treatment for traveler’s diarrhea is effective in shortening the course of disease.
What are the consequences of ignoring key concepts related to travel and refugee medicine?
Most travel-associated infections do not put other patients and staff at risk. However, failure to recognize infections with potential person-to-person spread may introduce travel associated disease to other patients, staff, and the community.
Travelers may import antibiotic resistant genes and bacteria, with subsequent spread within hospital populations and communities.
Travelers may introduce vector borne diseases if an efficient local vector exists (such as Aedes mosquitoes for Chikungunya, or Anopheles mosquitoes for malaria).
What other information supports the key conclusions of studies of or advice from travel and refugee medicine?
Most conclusions are built on expert opinion and observation. Transmission risk is often estimated based on experience in endemic regions, while risk of transmission of imported disease may vary in hospitals with appropriate infection control precautions.
Summary of current controversies.
There is minimal controversy in the recognition and treatment of ill returned travelers and infection control. The need for routine screening of travelers returned from abroad for carbapenemase and ESBL gene carriage has yet to be determined.
What is the role or impact of travel and refugee medicine relative to the rules or impact of other aspects of infection control?
Routine infection control standards apply to returned travelers who are ill. Most imported infections require standard precautions alone, including hand hygiene compliance. Recognition of syndromes which require contract, droplet, or airborne precautions for imported pathogens reduces subsequent disease transmission risk.
Travelers themselves may practice “infection control” by limiting pathogen exposure though pre-travel vaccination, safe dietary choices, insect avoidance, hand hygiene, and safe sex practices. An effective pre-travel consultation will educate travelers on these issues.

See Table I.
What national and international guidelines exist related to travel and refugee medicine?
National and international guidelines on the management of travelers, immigrants, and refugees are particularly useful for pre-travel assessments, as well as reviewing prevalent diseases the ill traveler may have been exposed to. Select examples include:
The CDC publishes standard recommendations for pre-travel care in the Yellow Book and on the CDC website at www.cdc.gov/travel.
The Public Health Agency of Canada publishes recommendations for travel medicine at http://origin.phac-aspc.gc.ca/tmp-pmv/prof-eng.php.
The CDC also publishes standards for immigrant and refugee health at www.cdc.gov/immigrantrefugeehealth.
The WHO publishes recommendations on travel health at www.who.int/ith.
What other consensus group statements exist and what do key leaders advise?
Additional useful guidelines include:
The IDSA Guidelines for the Practice of Travel Medicine. The IDSA’s guidelines primarily focus on appropriate pre-travel care.

Auto Repair Tips You Must Know Now
Do want to avoid car repair rip-offs? The best way to do that is stay informed. That includes picking the right mechanic. There are some that are not that reputable. If you are doing the repairs yourself, being prepared saves you both time and money. Read these tips to learn more about auto repairs.
Before you let the mechanic work on your car, make sure that you have all of the prices down. Ask about any additional fees that may come up during the repair and any charges that you may not be aware of. This will ensure that you are not surprised when the bill comes for your car repair.
Keep your car’s owner manual handy. Knowing vital car information can really help when something unexpected occurs. If you know your car’s controls, you may even avoid a trip to a mechanic. If you do need a mechanic, you should have the make, model, and trim level available so that they can figure out things like your transmission configuration, size, etc. much quicker.
Pay attention to the signs a potential mechanic gives to you. If he cannot give you eye contact, rushes his words, or avoids answering any questions you have for him, he may be trying to hide something. Perhaps he does not really know what he is doing or is lying about something else. If this is the case, go with another mechanic.
You should not wait too long before changing the windshield wiper blades on your car. Failing to do this may cause them to work improperly the next time it is raining outside, which can lead to an accident. It is a good idea to change them every couple of years/
When working on your engine be certain to wear proper safety equipment. You need ear plugs to protect your hearing, goggles to protect your vision and polyurethane or latex gloves to protect your skin from damage and injury caused by acids and other fluids. If you have long hair, be sure to secure it to avoid having it become caught in moving parts.
Be responsible when performing DIY auto repairs. Just about every item you might replace or repair on a vehicle is environmentally unfriendly. Take care to dispose of liquids such as motor oil and coolant properly. Take used parts to your local junk yard or recycling center. Don’t toss plastic bottles about the landscape. If you are unsure of where you can dispose of these items, check with your local waste disposal agency or an automotive supply store.
Take photos of your vehicle prior to bringing it into any shop. This way if you suspect something has been removed without your approval, you have photographic proof. You should document what the vehicle looks like in case you experience this terrible thing.
Many auto repair shops will tell you that you need your fuel injectors replaced when you do not. This is a way to get some more money from you. The proper time to replace them is after every 35,000 miles of driving. If anyone tells you that it needs to be done sooner, look for someone else to do your auto repairs.
Before you pay the bill for any larger auto repair work, give your car a test drive. You want to make sure that the repairs were done to your satisfaction. If you haven’t paid, it makes it much easier to talk about any lingering issues that may still be around that need further fixing.
Check a variety of sources of information before attempting an auto repair for the first time. Do a good online search, watch instructional videos and seek out books at your local library and take time to talk with an experienced mechanic before you dive in to try that repair. Once you feel comfortable with the concept, make a list of the things you need and the steps you will need to take to make the repair successfully.
Scout out a reputable auto repair shop before you need one. Finding a good automobile servicing shop can take some time and effort. You don’t want to wait until you are in desperate need of repairs, since you may reach out to the first shop you find. Instead, ask friends for references and check out BBB records well in advance so you are fully prepared when car trouble strikes.
Get a written estimate if the quote is much over one hundred dollars. If you have written proof, you can easily file complaints if necessary. In addition, your mechanic will likely not perform unnecessary repairs whenever he or she already has a written quote.
Don’t agree to any service or give a mechanic access to your vehicle until you are absolutely clear on costs and labor. The information you need should be clearly posted in an honest auto repair shop. If it’s not, proceed with caution and ask enough questions to learn exactly how much you will be charged.
Be certain that the mechanic who performs your auto repairs is certified by the National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence. ASE certification is offered two times a year to mechanics who have two years of experience working as auto mechanics. It is a written test that helps identify competent auto mechanics.
To help you in maintaing a car that is in great condition, you should take appropriate steps when storing it for long periods of time. Some small precautions like disengaging the parking brake so the brakes don’t corrode can make a huge difference when you begin driving after a long period of time.
When you are asking for a quote from an auto shop, get them to separate the cost of the parts from the labor costs. Then you can compare the costs with other mechanics. The parts cost ought to be about the same–you are really evaluating and comparing labor costs.
Making a mistake with car repairs can cost thousands of dollars. The key is to know what you are doing beforehand. Use the advice you learned here to avoid any devastating problems. Whether you want to find the right mechanic or think you can tackle the problem yourself, following these tips can save you a lot of money.

text: When I stick some Copper (II) Sulfate * Pentahyrate into the blue flame of my butane torch, it turns green. When I crush the tiny CuSO4 crystals up into a finer powder and mix them with a mixture of KClO3 and Sugar, then light that on fire, I get a very blue flame. What is happening here? I thought that copper [+2] ions were suppose to color flames blue? How is it that the same substance is giving off two difference colors? The only exaplanation I could fine for this is, So if this is true, then that would explain it I suppose, assuming CuO produces a blue flame. Except, wouldnt the CuSO4 decompose just as easily in the butane torch flame? If I stick some of the power into the flame and leave it there, watching it, the color should change as it decomposes, but I just dont see that happening.

(MENAFN- Brazil-Arab News Agency (ANBA))
São Paulo – E-commerce is expected to reach USD 2.3 billion in revenue this year in Qatar, according to a study carried out by the Qatar Chamber (QC). Last year, online sales exceeded USD 2.2 billion in the country, with a 47% growth over the USD 1.5 billion in 2019, according to local newspaper The Peninsula . Picture above merely illustrative.
The report by the QC points out this market is evenly distributed between business-to-business (B2B) and business-to-consumer (B2C) transactions. Local companies accounted for about 38% of operations, and foreign businesses for 62%.
The report informs Qatar leads the Middle East countries in average ticket per purchase, at USD 264. The most prominent Qatari e-commerce activities include food products and food delivery, groceries, clothes, gifts, electronics, and products related to beauty and fashion equipment, health services, in addition to technical games and sports, travel, ebooks, hotel reservations, households, and spare parts for cars.
The report points out an increase in the number of companies operating in foreign trade in Qatar last year. In June 2020, 350 companies were operating in the sector in the country, a number that rose to 416 at the end of that year, with 66 new companies entering the segment. Despite the growth in e-commerce, most payments – 75% – are still made in cash upon product delivery.

In which portion of a bar magnet is the magnetic attraction maximum?
The magnetic field generated by any magnet is always strongest at either pole. The magnetic force is equally as strong at both the north and south pole. If I use two magnets to attract to each other, is the total attracting force equal to that of both of the individual pull forces of each magnet combined?
Where is the maximum attraction in the magnet?
The attractive property of a magnet is maximum at north and south poles both.
What magnets attract?
Magnets are only attracted to special metals. Iron, cobalt and nickel are magnetic. Metals that have iron in them attract magnets well. Steel is one.
Where on a magnet is the magnetic force the minimum?
Explanation: The magnetic field of a bar magnet is strongest at either pole of the magnet. It is equally strong at the north pole when compared with the south pole. The force is weaker in the middle of the magnet and halfway between the pole and the center.
Where is magnetic force strongest?
Can you turn a permanent magnet on and off?
An electropermanent magnet or EPM is a type of permanent magnet in which the external magnetic field can be switched on or off by a pulse of electric current in a wire winding around part of the magnet.
Is it possible to control the magnetic properties of a magnet can a magnet be turned on and off?
We can also control the intensity of magnetic power. On the other hand permanent magnet cannot be switched on and off but the magnetic properties can be altered event to an extent when it loses all its magnetic properties. It can be caused by high temperature, physical impact and also exposure to other magnetic fields.
Is it possible to control the magnetic properties of a magnet?
Traditionally, magnetism is activated in an electromagnet by passing a current through a coil around a magnetic material. This coil generates a magnetic field. The new method uses a capacitor, a device used to generate an electric field, to control the magnetism of a magnetic material.
What are 2 different types of magnets?
There are many types of magnets, which are generally divided into two categories: permanent magnet and a soft magnet. The permanent magnet is divided into two categories. The first category is metal alloy magnets, including neodymium iron boron magnets, samarium cobalt magnets, and aluminum nickel cobalt magnets.
What are the 6 types of magnetism?
There are six basic types of magnetization: (1) diamagnetism, (2) paramagnetism, (3) ferromagnetism, (4) antiferromagnetism, (5) ferrimagnetism, and (6) superparamagnetism. Diamagnetism arises from the orbiting electrons surrounding each atomic nucleus.
What is quincke’s method?
The Quincke’s method is used to determine magnetic susceptibility of diamagnetic or. paramagnetic substances in the form of a liquid or an aqueous solution. When an object is. placed in a magnetic field, a magnetic moment is induced in it.
What is Jaeger’s method?
Jaeger’s method is an experiment to calculate the surface tension using pressure. According to this method, the surface tension depends on the pressure difference and the radius of the capillary used in the experiment.
What is quink tube?
Quink’s Tube. Category : JEE Main & Advanced. This is an apparatus used to demonstrate the phenomenon of interference and also used to measure velocity of sound in air. This is made up of two U-tube A and B as shown in figure.
What is quincke’s tube?
Quincke’s tube is a method’s apparatus which is used for determining the magnetic susceptibility of the given solution. It is a U shaped tube that has two limbs. One limb of the tube has a narrow width than the other limb. The liquid in the narrow limb does not change when the level in the wider limb.
What is the difference between permeability and susceptibility?
Permeability is the measure of the resistance of a material against the formation of a magnetic field. A closely related property of materials is magnetic susceptibility, which is a dimensionless proportionality factor that indicates the degree of magnetization of a material in response to an applied magnetic field.

Come! Come! Come!
Come along with me on this journey of reflection
Photo Journal for Reflection is born from the concept that nothing in the world has an inherent meaning of its own, rather it is an individual’s consciousness that breaths meaning into something for oneself. Until a person is exposed to a particular image, sound, object, landscape… it remains a blank canvas waiting for that individual to experience a sensation from and attach a self-fitting meaning to.
What one views as inspirational, another sees as disturbing because its meaning is only created by the one viewing it in that moment. Once this is understood what follows is a state of mind that perceives the world as endless opportunities and possibilities that one simply must create for oneself. It is not the world that creates us, but we that create the world.
I invite you on this journey to start reflecting on the photographs and to celebrate with joy every thoughts that comes from within.

Why Companies Are usually Transferring For you to LED Lighting effects
What is LED lights?
Light-weight emitting diodes (LEDs) are a digital light resource. LEDs started life as mild indicators in electrical elements made by Hewlett Packard. The light-weight is a end result of electrons releasing energy in the sort of photons much better identified as electroluminescence.
Their vitality efficiency, low routine maintenance, robustness and prolonged existence suggest that they are now a bright alternative to the energy-hungry and sensitive analogue light-weight resources we all grew up with.
Initially Machine Vision Lighting constrained their use as an every day mild supply. However at any time-growing vitality prices combined with enhanced production procedure has produced them a viable substitute to Mr Edison’s creation.
Today they are employed in televisions, traffic lights, automobile headlights, torches and symptoms across the planet.
Why should I be utilizing LED lights?
LEDs use less vitality. The first and foremost reason for employing LEDs is that they can eat up to 85% less power than standard lights. Significantly less energy eaten is great for the atmosphere but it is also very good for business way too. Much less electricity use equals a lot more funds saved.
LEDs final lengthier. The regular age for a LED gentle is ten a long time. Even then they will only need to have replacing as their light-weight fades. More than a long time period of time their light output progressively dims. They can final more time way too it relies upon on the application.
LEDs are significantly safer – LEDs use lower voltage (12-24) volts and are significantly less of a fire risk than light bulbs and especially neon lights. LEDs emit no UV and really tiny heat so they can be utilized in areas in which way too a lot warmth is hazardous.
LEDs are easier to keep. LEDs can be left on your own and a rapid wipe over after in a whilst is all they need to have.
LEDs are solid condition. There is no filament or glass to break and they are robust even in damp conditions. They can even be employed underwater in some situation.
LEDs are less difficult to dispose of. Even though there is no real way to recycle them at the second they are small and as a result less complicated and significantly less harming to the environment than disposing glass bulbs and gasoline-filled tubing.
LEDs are much, much smaller. They can for that reason be employed in considerably far more inventive methods than conventional lighting. For instance lightboxes can be slimmer, LEDs can be even be embedded into acrylic panels for certain apps.
I’ve listened to it is a lot more expensive?
Originally LEDs can be much more pricey than standard mild bulbs and fluorescent tubes but their advantages much more than redress this. Businesses encounter strength audits and a determination to lessen their carbon emissions, by no means thoughts the need to have to reduce fees. LEDs are portion of the answer to these issues.
What do I do with my current lights?
Numerous businesses feel that to up grade their current lighting, for example fluorescent tubes in ceiling strip lighting and signage, will be vastly disruptive and high-priced. We phone it retrofitting. There is a variety retrofitting LED items that can use current analogue light fittings. You get the benefit of significantly less power consumption, reduced maintenance and extended life but you don’t have to make investments in new light fittings. Altering to LEDs is as easy as changing a bulb.
What are the items out there?
LEDs are produced in a variety of colours and shades. Straightforward electronics can handle the brightness and period of every LED so the influence you can get with an LED product are extremely diverse. The market place is broadening quickly.
Straightforward LED modules Specific modules are normally produced in financial institutions of 4 LEDs but they also come in a range of distinct shapes and measurements and generally run off a simple 12v transformer. They can be put in with out the need to have for an electrician.
LEDs can be bought ready fastened into a sheet of plastic or operate alongside the edge of a piece of acrylic which can then be cut to go well with the certain application. The restricted development of these LEDs means that a extremely even spot of light can be attained.
Slimline LED lightboxes
When fluorescent tubes are positioned as well near to the front of a lightbox you frequently see a striping result. Fluorescent tubes are also short lived. If 1 goes you encounter an expensive call out for a substitute. LEDs enable for a thinner lightbox and a a lot more even mild resource for your graphics. Extended life and reduced upkeep implies that site visits are considerably less frequently essential. Just an occasional wipe-above need to do it!
Retrofitting non-LED items
There are now retrofitting items that simply in shape into existing fluorescent and light bulb fittings. This is a short to medium term fix when you have a big quantity of standard lighting, like strip lighting, and will not have the funds to change the fittings. You will immediately reward from the strength financial savings related with LED lighting. The most frequent goods are fluorescent tubing alternative units and halogen replacement place lights.
Neon alternative LED tubing
Neon is an eye-catching way to advertise your organization. It is also really pricey to make, normally takes large amounts of power to run and is undesirable for the surroundings as well. Now you can simulate a neon impact with a selection of neon tubing replacements. LED tubing can be cut and bent into any condition, a lot like conventional neon. But, because it operates chilly and employs low voltage, can be installed by any individual – you will not require a qualified electrician to hook up to the mains.
Lower power LED goods LEDs are lower voltage and this gives us an prospect to use solar electricity cells and wind turbines for the 1st time. It is now feasible to have an illuminated indicator that operates off its personal power.
Which merchandise should I use?
The LED market is, like all markets, loaded with excellent products and undesirable products. LED lights are made on a solitary sheet referred to as a wafer, significantly like pc chips. As several as 6000 LEDs can occur from just 1 wafer. There are imperfections across the area of every single wafer so specific LEDs are graded after they are pressed out. Top quality handle differs from company to manufacturer so it is crucial to make sure you select a trustworthy provider. There is a amount of good quality with LEDs ranging from the whitest, brightest lights through to the minimal price mass made LEDs that is not going to previous as extended or give you the very same high quality of light.
There is minor point investing in the least expensive possible LED lighting when the bulbs are likely to have a brief lifestyle-span. The electronics powering the LEDs are also crucial elements in the results you get from your LED lighting. Octink has invested significant time and cash into investigating and partnering with the best LED suppliers in the Uk and Europe. We comprehend the technological innovation and are knowledgeable about all the goods appropriate for our buyers.


On January 14, 2014, the Atlantic Council’s Brent Scowcroft Center on International Security and the Sasakawa Peace Foundation jointly held a private roundtable briefing with leaders of the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. In the briefing, the participants discussed the potential of new technologies for enhanced deterrence. The session was moderated by Barry Pavel, Atlantic Council vice president and director of the Brent Scowcroft Center on International Security.
The event discussed the potential of new technologies, including lasers and directed energy weapons, to complement traditional defense methods and create a more robust and advanced defense system addressing comprehensive security threats. It also raised discussion about the growing likelihood of non-state actors to acquire missile and nuclear weapons systems and the existing technological means to counter this threat. Further, the event touched upon the Obama administration’s “3+2” strategic vision aiming to enhance the cost-effectiveness of nuclear stockpiling, while maintaining strategic flexibility and credible deterrence.
The briefing took place as part of the Atlantic Council’s project “Strengthening US Extended Deterrence in East Asia,” which is funded by the MacArthur Foundation to study the credibility and effectiveness of US extended deterrence in the region’s dynamic strategic environment.

From Rocky Mountain National Park:
Autumn in Rocky attracts photographers, wildlife enthusiasts, and just about everyone else wanting to experience the magic of the season. Take advantage of our website and plan your visit. With over 300 miles of hiking trails, wildflowers, wildlife, starry nights, and fun times. We really want your trip to be both safe and enjoyable.
First mile the trail is okay. After that the trail is covered with ice and snow. The ridge is covered in ice and snow and difficult to transverse.
Traction devices strongly recommended based on a hike October 8.
Flat Top Trail
Trail from Bear Lake to turn clear, then patches of ice on trail up to treeline. At treeline and above, 8" to 12" of snow on trail, with reports from other hikers coming down of deeper snow higher up the trail. Traction devices recommended up to treeline and snowshoes recommended above that.
Nymph, Dream, Emerald, Haiyaha
Right before Dream Lake there is a large patch of ice people were slipping on without traction devices or going around area.. Snow and slush on trail approaching Emerald. Ice patch right before Emerald Lake. (Bridges are slick in the morning from frost) Heading from Dream to Haiyaha there are ice fields that are hard to get around. Microspikes were helpful. The parts of the trail that aren't icy are slushy/muddy. Coming down from Haiyaha towards the Loch/Mills Junction trail was less icy.
North Longs Trail to Boulderbrook to Glacier Creek Trail
North Longs Trail had ice and snow patches lower down on the trail with more ice patches when approaching the splitoff to Boulderbrook. Poles are are helpful towards the top. Boulderbrook Trail had ice and snow higher up but was dry lower down. Poles are useful for upper portion. Glacier Creek Trail ice/snow free. Muddy in spots.
Visitor was backpacking in Wild Basin for multiple days. Reported that by the last day the lower trails were snow free and dry but approaching the lakes there is a lot of ice. Going towards Thunder there are many long icy patches. Visitor wished he had crampons. There were icy patches before Ouzel Lake as well but not as bad as the approach to Thunder.
Last two miles of trail snow covered but well postholed. This helped!
One to two inches of snow on the trail. Snow turned slushy in the afternoon. Traction devices were used as well as waterproof boots and gaiters.
Wonderful hike. No snow on trails. Aspen in full color!
Visitor reported waking up to 12 inches of snow this morning at the Lawn Lake site. On his hike down he reported hip deep drifts.
Bear to Fern Lake Trailhead
A few wet spots near the 2-mile mark after all the rain this week. More problematic, ice and snow on the trail as it steeply descends the gorge. The snow isn't particularly deep or slippery, but the ice patches (that can't be avoided) are very slick. Trekking poles definitely helped. Absolutely wear shoes with good traction.The ice covers about 75 yards of the rocky trail above Odessa Lake.

what is Under Balanced Drilling ?
When the effective circulating downhole pressure of the drilling fluid – which is equal to the hydrostatic pressure of the fluid column, plus pump pressure, plus associated friction pressures – is less than the effective near bore formation pore pressure. (Definition)
Conventionally, wells are drilled overbalanced, which provides the primary well control mechanism. Imposed wellbore pressure arises from three different mechanisms:
1. Hydrostatic pressure of materials in the wellbore due to the density of the fluid used (mud) and the density contribution of any drilled cuttings (passive).
2. Dynamic pressure from fluid movement due to circulating friction of the fluid used and the relative fluid motion caused by surge/swab of the drillpipe (dynamic).
3. Imposed pressure, with occurs due to the pipe being sealed at surface resulting in an area with pressure differential (e.g., a rotating head or stripper element) (confining or active).
Under balanced drilling is defined as drilling with the hydrostatic head of the drilling fluid intentionally designed to be lower than the pressure of the formations being drilled. The hydrostatic head of the fluid may naturally be less than the formation pressure or it can be induced. The induced state may be created by adding natural gas, nitrogen or air to the liquid phase of the drilling fluid.
Whether the underbalanced status is induced or natural, the result may be an influx of formation fluids which must be circulated from the well and controlled at surface. Underbalanced drilling in practical terms will result in flow from one or more zones into the wellbore (this is more likely, owever, to be solely from one zone as cross-flow is likely to result) or where the potential for flow exists.
The lower hydrostatic head avoids the build-up of filter cake on the formation as well as the invasion of mud and drilling solids into the formation. This helps to improve productivity of the reservoir and reduce related drilling problems. When comparing underbalanced drilling with conventional drilling it soon becomes apparent that an influx of formation fluids must be controlled to avoid well control problems. In underbalanced drilling, the fluids from the well are returned to a closed system at surface to control the well. With the well flowing, the BOP system is kept closed while drilling, whereas in comparison to conventional drilling fluids are returned to an open system with the well open to atmosphere

Get all the Oil and Gas news in Ghana today. Stay up to date with the latest news, breaking stories, top headlines, opinion, pictures and videos and more.
Ghana is believed to have up to 5 billion barrels (790,000,000 m3) to 7 billion barrels (1.1×109 m3) of petroleum in reserves, which is the sixth largest in Africa and the 25th largest proven reserves in the world and it has up to 6 trillion cubic feet of natural gas in reserves.
Ghana’s experience with the oil and gas industry has been more complex than is often assumed.
Recent research shows that the challenges and prospects of the oil and gas industry go beyond the often discussed issues about macroeconomic stability to pressing current concerns about energy. This research shows the possibility that the rents from oil and gas can be used for social change in Ghana.
There is an immediate need for oil and gas service firms that are able to partner with indigenous Ghanaian companies to support the offshore activities of the international oil companies.
Domestic Ghanaian companies do not have the ability to provide a broad range of services despite local content requirements mandating a minimum level of local participation. Joint-venture firms with foreign partners contributing technology and know-how to a partnership with a reliable local company will be highly sought-after.
In addition to providing equipment and services directly to the exploration and production companies, training programs to increase the capacity of Ghanaian firms to provide these services are likely to be highly successful.

Analysis on dust removing solution to use of roller crusher
4 January, 2013 at 3:27 am in Buy & Sell
The hydraulic driving crawler-type mobile crushing plant is a fully hydraulic driving crawler-type vehicle chassis walking mobile crushing and screening equipment which is of high performance and reliability, attractive design and has achieved the international level of similar products researched and developed by Hongxing heavy industry to meet the market demand. The fully hydraulic driving crawler-type vehicle chassis of high performance crusher series whose crusher and high performance feeder, belt conveyor and belt under the screen are integrated in vehicular installation realizes the integration of vehicular electric motor and control box. The crawler-type mobile crushing plant is widely used in road and bridge construction, city building, metallurgy and energy sector to crush, screen,etc.
In the process of daily use of the roll crusher, the dust constantly affects the production efficiency of roll crusher. Many old customers who are using roll crushers are entangled with the problem of dust. Now the experts of Hongxing Mining Machinery analyze the problems for us.
First, in the actual production, in order to reduce the dust due to air leakage of crusher housing, the material is often watered at the entrance of the crusher when it is dry, which intensify the filter and paste bags of the baghouse and feeder blockage.
Second, in the fall, the material on the belt conveyor goes into a closed dust hood together with air. The dusty gas spread to the hood outside through the cracks of the cover wall and and openings. In addition, the precipitator almost has no effect on the dustfall of the lower belt conveyor whether it is in operation or not ,because the dust points are set incorrectly in the belt-corner.
Third, when the dust goes into the pipe of the precipitator, the elbow at the entrance of the pipe makes the system resistance increase. The elbow parts are susceptible to be worn and clogged by dust. The power consumption and mechanical maintenance workload will increase through the application of screw conveyor and sub-grid transport bag filter to trap the dust, which needs to demolish the grid round feeder. The flange of the feeder will leak the air to exacerbate air leakage of ash bucket over time. Zhengzhou hongxing Machinery Company manufactures sand maker and so on. Through continuous research and practice, technicians of the company have developed excellent performance and efficiency mining crushers. At present, with the various advantages, jaw crusher is continuous welcomed by different customers, especially in that the jaw crusher can adjust the discharging granularity according to different requires, and its adjustable range is also wide.Henan Hongxing Mining Machinery Co., Ltd is a large-sized counterattack impact crusher, magnetic drum separator manufacturer, and the mining equipment we researched and developed with great concentration plays an active role in the mining and ore beneficiation industry and is one of the indispensable mining crushing equipment in the mining industry.

For many decades, intersectoral action has been recognized as being of critical importance for the promotion and the protection of human health. In 1977, the World Health Assembly identified intersectoral action as an important component in achieving the goal of Health for All by the Year 2000; this has since been reemphasized by a number of international conferences. A major conference entitled "Intersectoral action for health: a cornerstone for health for all in the 21st century" was held in Canada in 1997. Described as "intersectoral action in motion", the conference assessed problems and progress, identifying future policy and strategies appropriate for the 21st century. The main conclusion of the meeting was that while intersectoral action is working, the successes and failures need to be further analysed, assessed and the lessons learned widely disseminated. Strategies need to be modified, adapted and implemented at global, national and subnational levels, in ways that are appropriate to different country situations and contexts. The full potential of intersectoral action for achieving health for all in the context of sustainable human development has yet to be realized.


A poolside bathroom is not just a practical necessity; it’s an opportunity to extend the luxury and style of your outdoor space. Modern pool bathrooms seamlessly blend functionality with aesthetic appeal, creating a retreat that complements your pool area’s design. In this article, we’ll explore a myriad of contemporary pool bathroom ideas that elevate your outdoor oasis to new heights.
Sleek and Minimalistic Design
Modern pool bathrooms often embrace a sleek and minimalistic design. Consider incorporating clean lines, neutral color palettes, and minimalist fixtures to create a sophisticated and timeless look. Wall-mounted vanities, frameless mirrors, and concealed storage contribute to an uncluttered and visually appealing space.
Bring the outdoors in by adopting an open-air concept for your pool bathroom. Large sliding glass doors, floor-to-ceiling windows, or even a retractable roof can blur the boundaries between indoor and outdoor spaces. This not only enhances the overall aesthetics but also provides a refreshing connection to nature.
Upgrade your pool bathroom with high-end materials that exude luxury. Consider using materials like marble, quartz, or teak for countertops and flooring. Water-resistant and durable materials not only enhance the visual appeal but also ensure longevity, even in the poolside environment.
Smart Technology Integration
Modernize your pool bathroom with smart technology to enhance convenience and efficiency. Touchless faucets, sensor-controlled lighting, and programmable thermostats are just a few examples of how technology can elevate the user experience while adding a contemporary touch to the space.
Make a bold statement with carefully curated lighting fixtures. Pendant lights, wall sconces, or even LED strips can create a dramatic and inviting atmosphere. Consider incorporating lighting controls that allow you to adjust the ambiance based on the time of day or the mood you want to create.
Optimize your pool bathroom’s functionality by incorporating multi-functional elements. For example, a well-designed vanity could double as a wet bar, providing convenience for poolside refreshments. Additionally, consider incorporating seating areas, built-in storage, or even a changing space to accommodate various needs.
Bring the poolside atmosphere into the bathroom by incorporating nature-inspired accents. Textured tiles, living walls, or even aquatic-themed artwork can create a seamless transition from the pool area to the bathroom, enhancing the overall aesthetic appeal.
A modern pool bathroom is not just a utilitarian space; it’s an integral part of your outdoor oasis. By embracing sleek designs, luxurious materials, smart technology, and thoughtful details, you can create a contemporary pool bathroom that enhances both functionality and aesthetics. Dive into the world of modern pool bathrooms and elevate your outdoor living experience to new heights of sophistication and style.

text: Great movie from 2016. If a movie can manage me to stay hooked on the whole movie online, that's really impressive. Scare Me provides a great pleasure from watching it online. Anyway, Horror may boast of one of the biggest numbers of good movies. Even in the biggest and best Hollywood productions, there is the element of commercialism, that is elements that are in the film only to win favor with the mass audience. Scare Me is the best choice for an evening with netflix.

Brian and Kate had an amazing engagement session in downtown Dunedin, Florida 💍
Their story: They met when they were both working at Fedex. They went out to lunch a few months later and Kait didn’t realize it was a date until Brian tried to kiss her in the parking lot. Brian proposed at Bern’s Steakhouse after taking Kait to her favorite places around Tampa to celebrate her birthday. They were in the Dessert room after dinner and all of a sudden the band started playing their song. Brian gave Kait her birthday presents – one of them being a set of nesting boxes with mementos he’d saved from their relationship inside. In the final box was a ring box but inside was a ring he had already given her a few years ago. When Kait looked up at him he was holding the real ring and the waitress brought out a dessert with the words “Will You Marry Me?” on it.
Brian and Kait love to travel, find new places to eat and drink, spend time with their dogs, go to the beach, and binge watch their favorite TV shows. They are so fun and sweet together and I had the best time with them at their engagement session! We explored downtown Dunedin and ended at the Fenway Hotel, where they’re getting married in 2022!
Dunedin was the perfect location for their engagement session with all of the personal ties they have there and so many fun spots that we found.

Under EU legislation, total arsenic levels in drinkingwater should not exceed 10 μg l−1, while in the US this figure is set at 10 μg l−1 inorganic arsenic. All rice milk samples analysed in a supermarket survey (n = 19) would fail the EU limit with up to 3 times this concentration recorded, while out of the subset that had arsenic species determined (n = 15), 80% had inorganic arsenic levels above 10 μg l−1, with the remaining 3 samples approaching this value. It is a point for discussion whether rice milk is seen as a water substitute or as a food, there are no EU or US food standards highlighting the disparity between water and food regulations in this respect.

Kim and I.
Marc, Melodie, Phil, Kim, me and Steve.
It was great to see our friends, The Collingsworth Family, a few days ago. They did a fantastic job and truly ministered to my heart. We had so much fun, after the concert, rehashing some of our "precious memories." We've known each other since we were kids, so believe me we have some (as Kim put it), "shared history." :-)
