STEWART “What utter drivel” Another person on Facebook. “I may be in the minority here, but I find these editorial pieces to be completely unreadable garbage.” Guess where that one came from. “No, you’re not. Honestly, I think of this the same Bond thinks of his obituary by M.” Chap above’s made a chum. This might be what Facebook is for. That’s rather lovely. Isn’t the internet super? “I don’t get it either and I don’t have the guts to say it because I fear their rhetoric or they’d might just ignore me. After reading one of these I feel like I’ve walked in on a Specter round table meeting of which I do not belong. I suppose I’m less a Bond fan because I haven’t read all the novels. I just figured these were for the fans who’ve read all the novels including the continuation ones, fan’s of literary Bond instead of the films. They leave me wondering if I can even read or if I even have a grasp of the language itself.” No comment. This ebook is not for sale but only available as a free download at Commanderbond.net.

    Aerosol generation in public restrooms Jesse H. Schreck,1, a) Masoud Jahandar Lashaki,2, b) Javad Hashemi,1, c) Manhar Dhanak,1, d) and Siddhartha Verma1, e) 1)Department of Ocean and Mechanical Engineering, Florida Atlantic University, Boca Raton, FL 33431, USA 2)Department of Civil, Environmental and Geomatics Engineering, Florida Atlantic University, Boca Raton, FL 33431, USA (Dated: 29 January 2021) Aerosolized droplets play a central role in the transmission of various infectious diseases, including Legionnaire’s disease, gastroenteritis-causing norovirus, and most recently COVID-19. Respiratory droplets are known to be the most prominent source of transmission for COVID-19, however, alternative routes may exist given the discovery of small numbers of viable viruses in urine and stool samples. Flushing biomatter can lead to the aerosolization of microorganisms, thus, there is a likelihood that bioaerosols generated in public restrooms may pose a concern for the transmission of COVID-19, especially since these areas are relatively confined, experience heavy foot traffic, and may suffer from inadequate ventilation. To quantify the extent of aerosolization, we measure the size and number of droplets generated by flushing toilets and urinals in a public restroom. The results indicate that the particular designs tested in the study generate a large number of droplets in the size range 0:3mm to 3mm, which can reach heights of at least 1:52m. Covering the toilet reduced aerosol levels but did not eliminate them completely, suggesting that aerosolized droplets escaped through small gaps between the cover and the seat. In addition to consistent increases in aerosol levels immediately after flushing, there was a notable rise in ambient aerosol levels due to the accumulation of droplets from multiple flushes conducted during the tests.

  • Instructions for Clean Catch Urine Collection for Diagnostic Testing
    INSTRUCTIONS FOR CLEAN CATCH URINE COLLECTION FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. IMPORTANT CAUTION: PLEASE READ AND FOLLOW ALL DIRECTIONS CAREFULLY. IT IS IMPORTANT THAT THE SPECIMEN BE AS CLEAN AS POSSIBLE FOR ACCURATE RESULTS. Male 1. Thoroughly wash and dry hands. 2. Unscrew cap of the urine specimen cup. To avoid contamination, do not touch inside of cup or cap. Place cap on the counter with the inside facing up. 3. Cleanse external areas as follows: Wipe head of penis in a single motion with first towelette. If not circumcised hold foreskin back before cleansing. 4. Hold the sterile cup in one hand. First urinate a small amount into toilet, then catch the rest of the urine directly into the sterile container without stopping the urine stream. (Urinating a small amount into the toilet first flushes out any contaminating organism). 5. Collect specimen until cup is at least half full. 6. Finish voiding in toilet or bedpan. 7. Replace cap on cup and tighten securely. Female 1. Thoroughly wash and dry hands. 2. Unscrew cap of the urine specimen cup. To avoid contamination, do not touch inside of cup or cap. Place cap on the counter with the inside facing up. 3. Cleanse external areas as follows: With one hand spread the labia and keep spread until the specimen is collected. Wipe inner labia folds front to back in a single motion with the first towelette. Repeat with the second towelette. 4. Keep the labia separated and hold the sterile container with the other hand. Urinate a small amount into toilet, then catch the rest of the urine directly into the sterile container without stopping the urine stream.

McCann 10 Dept. of and Applied Agricultural Economics 11 212 Mumford Hall 12 University of Missouri 13 Columbia, MO 65203, U.S.A. 14 [email protected] 15 573 882-1304 16 17 Initial submission May 18, 2012 18 Revised submission, October 15, 2012 19 20 21 22 23 1 24 Abstract 25 Dual-flush toilets, which use a high-volume flush for solid waste and a lower-volume flush for 26 liquid waste, can reduce water consumption. Behavioral economics was used to analyze the 27 design of the dual flush mechanism of the Sloan Uppercut® toilet. The default option, pushing the 28 handle down, results in a large flush. Because Americans have been ―conditioned‖ to push the 29 toilet handle down, it was expected that most users would push the handle down out of habit. A 30 field experiment measuring up versus down flushes in eight women‘s toilets in a municipal 31 building confirmed expectations. While Sloan predicted a 2:1 urination-to-defecation ratio, the 32 observed ratio during the control period was 1:4, i.e. the ratio was the opposite of what would 33 occur if people used the toilets correctly. Adding signage to each stall only increased the ratio to 34 2:5, emphasizing the importance of the default.

  • Frequently Asked Questions About Low Flow Toilets
    Water Conservation Devices » Selecting a Toilet? » Be Sure The Toilet Will Work In Your Building » Purchasing an ultra-low-flush toilet » Choosing a Licensed Plumber/Contractor » What should I know about maintaining 1.6 gpf toilets? » Disclaimer of Liability Selecting a Toilet Not all ultra low-flush toilets are the same. The ultra low-flush toilet you would install in your multiplex, commercial or industrial bathroom will probably be different from the toilet you install in your home. You want to buy a new toilet and you want to make sure it works properly. Toilets have two basic operational elements: (1) the intake of water used for flushing and (2) the discharge of wastewater. However, there are different types of toilets based on the way they perform these operations. You need to identify which type(s) of toilets are currently in your building and which is the most appropriate type to replace them with before you make a purchase. Gravity-Fed Tank Toilets: If you see freestanding water when peering down into the tank, your toilet is gravity-fed. Gravity toilets, which have a bowl and a tank, are the most common type of toilet found in residential settings but are in some commercial/business settings. They rely on the weight of the water and head pressure (height of the water in the tank) to promote the flush. They depend on the volume of water in the tank to flush wastes and usually require water pressure of no more than 10 - 15 pounds per square inch (psi) to operate properly.
