Fitzpatrick DOC | *audiobook | ebooks | Download PDF | ePub 13 of 13 people found the following review helpful. A great way to introduce yourself to a group who made literary historyBy Greg HatfieldIt seems my entire life has been connected to the Algonquin Round Table. When I first discovered Harpo Marx, as a youngster, it led me to his autobiography, Harpo Speaks,where I then learned about the Round Table. Alexander Woollcott, George S. Kaufman, Dorothy Parker, Robert Benchley, Franklin P. Adams, Edna Ferber, Heywood Broun, and all the rest who made up the Vicious Circle, became an obsession to me and I had to learn about their lives and, more importantly, their work.Kevin Fitzpatrick has done a remarkable job with this book, putting the group into a historical perspective, and giving the reader a terrific overview of what made the Algonquin Round Table unique and worthy of your time. They were the leading writers and critics of the 1920's, who really did enjoy one another's company, meeting practically every day for lunch for ten years at the Algonquin Hotel.Fitzpatrick says, in one section, that there isn't a day, in this modern era, where someone, somewhere, mentions one of the group in a glowing context (I'm paraphrasing here). The fact remains that the work of Kaufman, Mrs.

The NRC considered the spent fuel risk to be small compared to the risk from accidents involving the reactor core. The National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 compelled the NRC to release an environmental impact statement for spent fuel storage in August 1979. The NRC reaffirmed its conviction that the "storage of spent fuel in water pools is a well established technology, and under the static conditions of storage repre­ sents a low environmental impact and low potential risk to the health and safety of the public."2 The NRC recognized that certain actions had eroded the basis for its origi­ nal spent fuel risk analysis: after reprocessing was eliminated, utilities had expanded spent fuel storage capacities at nuclear power plants and disposal had been indefinitely deferred.

  • AERATION-BASIN HEAT LOSS by S. N. Talati1 and M. K. Stenstrom,2 Member, ASCE
    AERATION-BASIN HEAT LOSS By S. N. Talati1 and M. K. Stenstrom,2 Member, ASCE ABSTRACT: Recent developments in wastewater aeration systems have focused on aeration efficiency and minimum energy cost. Many other operating characteristics are ignored. The impact of aeration system alternatives on aeration-basin temper­ ature can be substantial, and design engineers should include potential effects in evaluation of alternatives. To predict aeration-basin temperature and its influence on system design, previous research has been surveyed and a spreadsheet-based computer model has been developed. Calculation has been improved significantly in the areas of heat loss from evaporation due to aeration and atmospheric radia­ tion. The model was verified with 17 literature-data sets, and predicts temperature with a root-mean-squared (RMS) error of 1.24° C for these sets. The model can be used to predict aeration basin temperature for plants at different geographical locations with varying meteorological conditions for surface, subsurface, and high- purity aeration systems. The major heat loss is through evaporation from aeration, accounting for as much as 50%. Heat loss from surface aerators can be twice that • of an equivalent subsurface system. Wind speed and ambient humidity are im­ portant parameters in determining aeration-basin temperature. INTRODUCTION The recent emphasis on high-efficiency, low-energy consumption aeration systems has increased the use of fine-bubble, subsurface aeration systems, almost to the exclusion of all other types. Design engineers are choosing this technology over others because of very low energy costs. A factor that is usually not considered is heat loss. Different types of aeration systems can have very different heat losses, which result in different aeration-basin temperatures.

  • “Come On! Try It! You Just Might Like It!”
    “COME ON! TRY IT! YOU JUST MIGHT LIKE IT!” BY MARC PETTY CRUCIGER, M.D. PRESENTED TO THE CHIT CHAT CLUB SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA SEPTEMBER 10, 2012 Although the Chit-Chat Club is not the place where one usually comes to confess a private addiction, I shall, with your gentle sympathy and kind indulgence, break that very time-honored and noble tradition this evening. Are you ready? Tonight I freely and openly confess that I am an addict, not to cocaine or alcohol, but to a wonderfully satisfying, delightfully intoxicating, and incredibly addictive magazine that arrives every week called The New Yorker. Like an addiction to cocaine and alcohol, its possession and consumption gives me an exhilarating “high” for a short time, but, like all addictive drugs, it leaves me craving for more. Thank God, I need wait no longer than 6 days or so between “highs.” And fortunately these “highs” that I require weekly are not too dear for, if that were not the case, I would surely have been in financial ruin a very long time ago. It is hard to say just when, exactly, my addiction actually started. But, I suppose, like all addictions, it started innocently enough. You know, the old, “Come on! Try it! You just might like it!” Although I do not remember those exact words spoken to me, what I do remember as a child is seeing my soon-to-be-drug-of-choice strewn on a coffee table or in the hands of my parents, Swarthmore and MIT educated, who were either chortling hysterically or ravenously consuming it with the very clear-cut mien of “Do not interrupt me at this moment or else” that only parents can impart with such authority.

The electric power industry accounts for over 80% of the cooling water used, so this discussion will focus mainly on that industry. So great are the electric power requirements of this nation and the resultant need for cooling water, it is estimated that at certain times of year, the electric power utilities require 50% of the total fresh water runoff for cooling. At the present time, roughly 85% of the electric power in this country is produced by steam power plants, the remainder by hydroelectric plants.
