Bomb Disposal
Bomb disposal is an explosives engineering profession using the process by which hazardous Explosive device, explosive devices are rendered safe. ''Bomb disposal'' is an all-encompassing term to describe the separate, but interrelated functions in the military fields of explosive ordnance disposal (EOD) and improvised explosive device disposal (IEDD), and the Public security, public safety roles of public safety bomb disposal (PSBD) and the bomb squad. History The first professional civilian bomb squad was established by Sir Vivian Dering Majendie. As a Major in the Royal Artillery, Majendie investigated an explosion on 2 October 1874 in the Regent's Canal, when the barge 'Tilbury', carrying six barrels of petroleum and five tons of gunpowder, blew up, killing the crew and destroying Macclesfield Bridge and cages at nearby London Zoo. In 1875, he framed The Explosives Bill (proposed law), Act, the first modern legislation for explosives control. He also pioneered many bomb d ...

Dispose Pattern
In object-oriented programming, the dispose pattern is a design pattern for resource management. In this pattern, a resource is held by an object, and released by calling a conventional method – usually called close, dispose, free, release depending on the language – which releases any resources the object is holding onto. Many programming languages offer language constructs to avoid having to call the dispose method explicitly in common situations. The dispose pattern is primarily used in languages whose runtime environment have automatic garbage collection (see motivation below). Motivation Wrapping resources in objects Wrapping resources in objects is the object-oriented form of encapsulation, and underlies the dispose pattern. Resources are typically represented by handles (abstract references), concretely usually integers, which are used to communicate with an external system that provides the resource. For example, files are provided by the operating system (spec ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Disposal Of Human Corpses
Disposal of human corpses, also called final disposition, is the practice and process of dealing with the remains of a deceased human being. Disposal methods may need to account for the fact that soft tissue will decompose relatively rapidly, while the skeleton will remain intact for thousands of years under certain conditions. Several methods for disposal are practiced. A funeral is a ceremony that may accompany the final disposition. Regardless, the manner of disposal is often dominated by spirituality with a desire to hold vigil for the dead and may be highly ritualized. In cases of mass death, such as war and natural disaster, or in which the means of disposal are limited, practical concerns may be of greater priority. Ancient methods of disposing of dead bodies include cremation practiced by the Romans, Greeks, Hindus, and some Mayans; burial practiced by the History of China, Chinese, History of Japan, Japanese, History of Bali, Bali, Jews, Christians, and Muslims, as well ...

Disposal Tax Effect
The situation of additional taxes or tax savings resulting from selling the last item of its class in an inventory due to difference between its undepreciated capital cost (UCC) and its salvage value (SV).Chan S. Park et al., ''Contemporary Engineering Economics (Second Canadian Edition)'', Addison Wesley Longman, 2001. {{ISBN, 0-201-61390-5 Overview "Disposal tax effect" is a finance term originating from Engineering economics. In the case of SV > UCC, then there has been a relative gain in the sale of the item, which gets taxed. These gains are known as "recaptured depreciation In accountancy, depreciation is a term that refers to two aspects of the same concept: first, the actual decrease of fair value of an asset, such as the decrease in value of factory equipment each year as it is used and wear, and second, the a ..." or "recaptured CCA". When SV < UCC, then there has been a loss, which results in tax savings. The Central collection agency (CCA) uses a m ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Garbage Disposal
A garbage disposal unit (also known as a waste disposal unit, garbage disposer, garburator etc.) is a device, usually electrically powered, installed under a kitchen sink between the sink's drain and the trap. The disposal unit shreds food waste into pieces small enough—generally less than in diameter—to pass through plumbing. History The garbage disposal unit was invented in 1927 by John W. Hammes, an architect working in Racine, Wisconsin. He applied for a patent in 1933 that was issued in 1935. His InSinkErator company put his disposer on the market in 1940. Hammes' claim is disputed, as General Electric introduced a garbage disposal unit in 1935, known as the Disposall. In many cities in the United States in the 1930s and the 1940s, the municipal sewage system had regulations prohibiting placing food waste (garbage) into the system. InSinkErator spent considerable effort, and was highly successful in convincing many localities to rescind these prohibitions. Many l ...

Ship Disposal
A number of different methods exist for disposing of a ship after it has reached the end of its effective or economic service life with an organisation. Options Although many options are technically possible, some, such as deep water sinking, are not used for non-military vessels, or have come under increased scrutiny. Options currently available include: * Hulking * Ship breaking (involving recycling) * Use as an artificial reef * Donation * Sale for re-use * Floating (or drydock) storage * Deep water sinking Description of options * Hulking was a traditional method of converting a hull to another purpose after its usefulness as a ship had ended. The ship is stripped of its motive equipment (sails and rigging or motors) and is used for a variety of purposes. This practice is still in use to a limited extent. * Ship breaking is the most common and most environmentally accepted method of ship disposal. According to various organisations, only facilities approved by the Basel Act ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Waste Disposal
Waste management or waste disposal includes the processes and actions required to manage waste from its inception to its final disposal. This includes the collection, transport, treatment and disposal of waste, together with monitoring and regulation of the waste management process and waste-related laws, technologies, economic mechanisms. Waste can be solid, liquid, or gases and each type has different methods of disposal and management. Waste management deals with all types of waste, including industrial, biological, household, municipal, organic, biomedical, radioactive wastes. In some cases, waste can pose a threat to human health. Health issues are associated throughout the entire process of waste management. Health issues can also arise indirectly or directly. Directly, through the handling of solid waste, and indirectly through the consumption of water, soil and food. Waste is produced by human activity, for example, the extraction and processing of raw materi ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Free Disposal
In various parts of economics, the term free disposal implies that resources can be discarded without any cost. For example, a fair division setting with free disposal is a setting where some resources have to be divided fairly, but some of the resources may be left undivided, discarded or donated. Examples of situations with free disposal are allocation of food, clothes jewels etc. Examples of situations ''without'' free disposal are: * Chore division - since all chores must be done. * Allocation of land with an old structure - since the structure may have to be destructed, and destruction is costly. * Allocation of an old car - since the car may have to be carried away to used cars garage, and moving it may be costly. * Allocation of shares in a firm that may have debts - since the firm cannot be disposed of without paying its debts first. The free disposal assumption may be useful for several reasons: * It enables truthful cake-cutting algorithms: The option to discard some of ...
