Estimating Highway Maintenance Work Estimating amounts of materials, work done, size of crews, or number of trucks needed for road maintenance requires the skill of working with NUMBERS and MEASUREMENTS . By using addition, subtraction, multiplication, division and some basic rules, you can do some figuring ahead of time and make your crews look better. People feel better about themselves when they’re doing a good job, their friends do too, and so does the motoring public. NUMBERS play an important part in the everyday affairs of everybody.

    THE PORTUGUESE EXPEDITIONARY CORPS IN WORLD WAR I: FROM INCEPTION TO COMBAT DESTRUCTION, 1914-1918 Jesse Pyles, B.A. Thesis Prepared for the Degree of MASTER OF ARTS UNIVERSITY OF NORTH TEXAS May 2012 APPROVED: Geoffrey Wawro, Major Professor Robert Citino, Committee Member Walter Roberts, Committee Member Richard McCaslin, Chair of the Department of History James D. Meernik, Acting Dean of the Toulouse Graduate School Pyles, Jesse, The Portuguese Expeditionary Corps in World War I: From Inception to Destruction, 1914-1918. Master of Arts (History), May 2012, 130 pp., references, 86. The Portuguese Expeditionary Force fought in the trenches of northern France from April 1917 to April 1918. On 9 April 1918 the sledgehammer blow of Operation Georgette fell upon the exhausted Portuguese troops. British accounts of the Portuguese Corps’ participation in combat on the Western Front are terse. Many are dismissive. In fact, Portuguese units experienced heavy combat and successfully held their ground against all attacks. Regarding Georgette, the standard British narrative holds that most of the Portuguese soldiers threw their weapons aside and ran. The account is incontrovertibly false. Most of the Portuguese combat troops held their ground against the German assault. This thesis details the history of the Portuguese Expeditionary Force. Copyright 2012 by Jesse Pyles ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The love of my life, my wife Izabella, encouraged me to pursue graduate education in history. This thesis would not have been possible without her support. Professor Geoffrey Wawro directed my thesis. He provided helpful feedback regarding content and structure. Professor Robert Citino offered equal measures of instruction and encouragement.

  • Chapter 1: Analytic Geometry
    1 Analytic Geometry Much of the mathematics in this chapter will be review for you. However, the examples will be oriented toward applications and so will take some thought. In the (x,y) coordinate system we normally write the x-axis horizontally, with positive numbers to the right of the origin, and the y-axis vertically, with positive numbers above the origin. That is, unless stated otherwise, we take “rightward” to be the positive x- direction and “upward” to be the positive y-direction. In a purely mathematical situation, we normally choose the same scale for the x- and y-axes. For example, the line joining the origin to the point (a,a) makes an angle of 45◦ with the x-axis (and also with the y-axis). In applications, often letters other than x and y are used, and often different scales are chosen in the horizontal and vertical directions. For example, suppose you drop something from a window, and you want to study how its height above the ground changes from second to second. It is natural to let the letter t denote the time (the number of seconds since the object was released) and to let the letter h denote the height. For each t (say, at one-second intervals) you have a corresponding height h. This information can be tabulated, and then plotted on the (t, h) coordinate plane, as shown in figure 1.0.1. We use the word “quadrant” for each of the four regions into which the plane is divided by the axes: the first quadrant is where points have both coordinates positive, or the “northeast” portion of the plot, and the second, third, and fourth quadrants are counted off counterclockwise, so the second quadrant is the northwest, the third is the southwest, and the fourth is the southeast.

  • Hydraulics Manual Glossary G - 3
    Glossary G - 1 GLOSSARY OF HIGHWAY-RELATED DRAINAGE TERMS (Reprinted from the 1999 edition of the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials Model Drainage Manual) G.1 Introduction This Glossary is divided into three parts: · Introduction, · Glossary, and · References. It is not intended that all the terms in this Glossary be rigorously accurate or complete. Realistically, this is impossible. Depending on the circumstance, a particular term may have several meanings; this can never change. The primary purpose of this Glossary is to define the terms found in the Highway Drainage Guidelines and Model Drainage Manual in a manner that makes them easier to interpret and understand. A lesser purpose is to provide a compendium of terms that will be useful for both the novice as well as the more experienced hydraulics engineer. This Glossary may also help those who are unfamiliar with highway drainage design to become more understanding and appreciative of this complex science as well as facilitate communication between the highway hydraulics engineer and others. Where readily available, the source of a definition has been referenced. For clarity or format purposes, cited definitions may have some additional verbiage contained in double brackets [ ]. Conversely, three “dots” (...) are used to indicate where some parts of a cited definition were eliminated. Also, as might be expected, different sources were found to use different hyphenation and terminology practices for the same words. Insignificant changes in this regard were made to some cited references and elsewhere to gain uniformity for the terms contained in this Glossary: as an example, “groundwater” vice “ground-water” or “ground water,” and “cross section area” vice “cross-sectional area.” Cited definitions were taken primarily from two sources: W.B.

This publication presents information on how to develop a is one such crop that has received much attention through quarter- acre hop yard, suitably sized to explore the unique the media, given consumer interest in craft and home beer production methods associated with this specialty crop. Farmers brewing. Experienced farmers, gardeners, and everyday interested in growing hops should gain knowledge about hop “beer enthusiasts” want to grow hops as they see the potential plant growth and development, its culture, common pests and for income. This crop is unique in its growth, cultivation, diseases, and harvest considerations. Using information in this harvest, and ultimately its post- harvest handling. Interested publication, farmers should be able to experiment with hop growers should start by experimenting with a small number production and harvesting so that they can develop a measured of hop plants, so they can better understand plant growth and vision for future production opportunities. cultivation before expanding to commercial production.

  • Water System Operator's Guide
    MATH REVIEW For a rectangular tank: Most math problems a water treatment plant To find the capacity of a rectangular or square operator solves requires plugging numbers into tank: formulas and calculating the answer. When working with formulas, here are some simple Multiply length (L) by width (W) to get area (A). rules to follow. • Work from left to right. Multiply area by height (H) to get volume (V). • Do anything in parenthesis first. Multiply volume by 7.48 gallons per cubic foot to get capacity (C). • Do multiplication and division in the numerator (above the line) and in the A = L x W denominator (below the line), then do V = A x H addition and subtraction in the numerator C = V x 7.48 and denominator. • Divide the numerator by the denominator Find the capacity of a rectangular tank 15 feet (ft) last. long, 12 ft wide, and 10 ft high: Volume A = 15 ft x 12 ft = 180 square feet (ft2) The volume of a tank in cubic feet is equal to V = 180 ft2 x 10 ft = 1,800 cubic feet (ft3) the tank area multiplied by the tank height. The C = 1,800 ft3 x 7.48 gal/ft3 =13,464 gal capacity in gallons is equal to the volume in cubic feet multiplied by 7.48 gallons per cubic foot. For a circular tank: Area (A) = (3.14) x diameter squared (D2) / divided by 4 Volume (V) = A x H Capacity (C) = V x 7.48 gal/ft3 A = [ x (D2)/4] V = A x H C = V x 7.48 49 Find the capacity of a circular tank with a For an oval tank: diameter of 15 ft and a height of 12 ft: To find the gallons in an oval tank: A = [3.14 x (15 ft2)/4] = 177 ft2 Multiply the height by width by (3.14) divided by 4 to get the area of the oval.
