  • Transforming Shipping Containers Into Primary Care Health Clinics
    Transforming Shipping Containers into Primary Care Health Clinics Project Report Aerospace Vehicles Engineering Degree 27/04/2020 STUDENT: DIRECTOR: Alba Gamón Aznar Neus Fradera Tejedor Abstract The present project consists in the design of a primary health clinic inside intermodal shipping containers. In recent years the frequency of natural disasters has increased, while man-made conflicts continue to afflict many parts of the globe. As a result, societies and countries are often left without access to basic medical assistance. Standardised and ready-to-deploy mobile clinics could play an important role in bringing such assistance to those who need it all over the world. This project promotes the adaptation of the structure of shipping containers to house a primary healthcare center through a multidisciplinary approach. Ranging from the study of containers and the potential environments where a mobile clinic could be of use to the design of all the manuals needed for the correct deployment, operation and maintenance of a mobile healthcare center inside a shipping container, this project intends to combine with knowledge from many sources to develop a product of great human, social and ecological value. 1 Abstract 1 INTRODUCTION 6 Aim 6 Scope 6 Justification 7 Method 8 Schedule 8 HISTORY AND CHARACTERISTICS OF INTERMODAL CONTAINERS 9 History 9 Shipping containers and their architectural use 10 Why use a container? 10 Container dimensions 11 Container types 12 Container prices 14 STUDY OF POSSIBLE LOCATIONS 15 Locations 15 Environmental

  • Structural Design of a Container Ship Approximately 3100 TEU According to the Concept of General Ship Design B-178
    Structural design of a container ship approximately 3100 TEU according to the concept of general ship design B-178 Wafaa Souadji Master Thesis presented in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the double degree: “Advanced Master in Naval Architecture” conferred by University of Liege "Master of Sciences in Applied Mechanics, specialization in Hydrodynamics, Energetics and Propulsion” conferred by Ecole Centrale de Nantes developed at West Pomeranian University of Technology, Szczecin in the framework of the “EMSHIP” Erasmus Mundus Master Course in “Integrated Advanced Ship Design” Ref. 159652-1-2009-1-BE-ERA MUNDUS-EMMC Supervisor: Dr. Zbigniew Sekulski, West Pomeranian University of Technology, Szczecin Reviewer: Prof. Robert Bronsart, University of Rostock Szczecin, February 2012 Structural design of a container ship approximately 3100 TEU 3 according to the concept of general ship design B-178 ABSTRACT Structural design of a container ship approximately 3100 TEU according to the concept of general ship design B-178 By Wafaa Souadji The initial design stage is crucial for the ship design, including the ship structural design, as the decisions are here taken fundamental to reach design objectives by establishing basic ship characteristics. Consequently, errors which may appear have the largest impact on the final design. Two main aspects related to the design of structures are typically addressed in the initial design: analysis of strength and cost estimation. The design developed in the dissertation is based on the conceptual design of general containership B-178 built in the Stocznia Szczecińska Nowa, providing its main particulars, hull form as well as the general arrangement. The general objective of the thesis is to carry out the hull structural design based on the functional requirements of the containership.

  • Interactive Notebook Printables 3Rd Grade Unit 6 the Tale of Custard
    Interactive Notebook Printables 3rd Grade Unit 6 The Tale of Custard The Dragon by Ogden Nash The pirate gaped at Belinda's dragon, And gulped some grog from his pocket flagon, Belinda lived in a little white house, He fired two bullets but they didn't hit, With a little black kitten and a little gray mouse, And Custard gobbled him, every bit. And a little yellow dog and a little red wagon, And a realio, trulio, little pet dragon. Belinda embraced him, Mustard licked him, 45 No one mourned for his pirate victim Now the name of the little black kitten was Ink, 5 Ink and Blink in glee did gyrate And the little gray mouse, she called her Blink, Around the dragon that ate the pyrate. And the little yellow dog was sharp as Mustard, But the dragon was a coward, and she called him But presently up spoke little dog Mustard, Custard. I'd been twice as brave if I hadn't been flustered.50 And up spoke Ink and up spoke Blink, Custard the dragon had big sharp teeth, We'd have been three times as brave, we think, And spikes on top of him and scales underneath, 10 And Custard said, I quite agree Mouth like a fireplace, chimney for a nose, That everybody is braver than me. And realio, trulio, daggers on his toes. Belinda still lives in her little white house, 55 Belinda was as brave as a barrel full of bears, With her little black kitten and her little gray mouse, And Ink and Blink chased lions down the stairs, And her little yellow dog and her little red wagon, Mustard was as brave as a tiger in a rage, 15 And her realio, trulio, little pet dragon.

  • Introduction This Exhibition Celebrates the Spectacular Artistic Tradition
    Introduction This exhibition celebrates the spectacular artistic tradition inspired by The Tale of Genji, a monument of world literature created in the early eleventh century, and traces the evolution and reception of its imagery through the following ten centuries. The author, the noblewoman Murasaki Shikibu, centered her narrative on the “radiant Genji” (hikaru Genji), the son of an emperor who is demoted to commoner status and is therefore disqualified from ever ascending the throne. With an insatiable desire to recover his lost standing, Genji seeks out countless amorous encounters with women who might help him revive his imperial lineage. Readers have long reveled in the amusing accounts of Genji’s romantic liaisons and in the dazzling descriptions of the courtly splendor of the Heian period (794–1185). The tale has been equally appreciated, however, as social and political commentary, aesthetic theory, Buddhist philosophy, a behavioral guide, and a source of insight into human nature. Offering much more than romance, The Tale of Genji proved meaningful not only for men and women of the aristocracy but also for Buddhist adherents and institutions, military leaders and their families, and merchants and townspeople. The galleries that follow present the full spectrum of Genji-related works of art created for diverse patrons by the most accomplished Japanese artists of the past millennium. The exhibition also sheds new light on the tale’s author and her female characters, and on the women readers, artists, calligraphers, and commentators who played a crucial role in ensuring the continued relevance of this classic text. The manuscripts, paintings, calligraphy, and decorative arts on display demonstrate sophisticated and surprising interpretations of the story that promise to enrich our understanding of Murasaki’s tale today.

  • Butterfly Tip Sheet
    BUTTERFLY TIP SHEET STARTING THE PROGRAM •It will take approximately 4 weeks to transform from larvae to butterfly. •Each larva is housed in its own little container. •Keep the lids on at all times (until chrysalis is formed). •Make sure that the containers are standing upright at all times. (DO NOT TURN UPSIDE DOWN) •Keep the containers out of the sunlight, and also out of the path of air vents. •The suggested room temperature is 68⁰ to 75⁰. •Each container has enough food and air for the larvae, until it forms its chrysalis. FORMING CHRYSALIDES •The larvae will grow to be about 1 inch long and look like a fuzzy black caterpillar. •In 7-10 days depending on the temperature, the larvae should form a chrysalis. (Faster in warm weather, slower in cool) •The larvae will attach itself to the lid of the container by its tail and hang upside down for about 24 hours. During this time the larvae will start to spin its chrysalis. AFTER CHRYSALIS FORMATION •Once the chrysalis has formed, it should take another 7-10 days for the Painted Lady Butterfly to emerge. (Again this depends on the weather) •After the chrysalides have been hanging in the container for 2-3 days, the teacher will GENTLY remove the lid with the chrysalis attached, and then tape it on one of the lower branches, or to the base of the branch. You can also attach the lid to the cage by using a binder clip or Velcro, attaching it on the outside of the cage. •Please do not cut the screen of the cage.
