This book was released on 2019 with total page 159 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Blowing and drifting snow along rural highways within the state of Wyoming creates many issues for drivers. In an effort to combat the dangers associated with adverse winter weather conditions, such as poor roadway surface conditions, reduced visibility, and impaired driver performance, numerous snow fence sections have been installed along Wyoming freeways. Snow fences seem to offer a simple and effective solution that helps to mitigate such dangerous effects; however, their safety performance, similar to other roadway countermeasures, has been under-investigated. This thesis seeks to provide conclusive results with regards to the safety effectiveness of snow fence implementations based on crash severity with regards to snow fence type and terrain type. Multiple analyses utilizing both simple and full Safety Performance Functions (SPFs) were used in this thesis offering a comparative description of snow fence performance. Crash Modification Factors (CMFs) utilizing naïve before-after studies and before-after studies using Empirical Bayes (EB), characterized by Negative Binomial (NB) simple and full SPFs, were used to create the analyses throughout this thesis. Interstate-80 (I-80) through Wyoming was selected for this study due to its high density of 278 miles of snow fences as well as high roadway elevations, high travel speeds, relatively high traffic volumes to other Wyoming roadways, and notorious adverse winter weather conditions. Combined, these factors can create unique dangerous winter season environments for motorists. The results suggested that the overall implementation of snow fences would enhance the safety performance of the I-80 corridor through Wyoming by 28% to 64%. Based on snow fence types, significant reductions in crashes at locations with lath snow fences ranged from 40% to 70%, locations with Wyoming snow fences ranged from 25% to 64%, and locations with upright/vertical snow fences ranged from 20% to 68% was obtained from developed the CMFs during non-adverse winter weather conditions as well as during adverse winter weather conditions, respectively. Based on surrounding terrain during both non-adverse and adverse winter weather conditions, snow fences were found to have significant reductions in crashes on flat/level and rolling terrains by 26% to 68% and on mountainous terrains by 36% to 82%. In addition to significant crash reductions obtained, through a benefit-cost analysis, snow fences have been associated with reducing the cost of snow removal and road closures.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Training Circular (TC) 3-09.81, "Field Artillery Manual Cannon Gunnery," sets forth the doctrine pertaining to the employment of artillery fires. It explains all aspects of the manual cannon gunnery problem and presents a practical application of the science of ballistics. It includes step-by-step instructions for manually solving the gunnery problem which can be applied within the framework of decisive action or unified land operations. It is applicable to any Army personnel at the battalion or battery responsible to delivered field artillery fires. The principal audience for ATP 3-09.42 is all members of the Profession of Arms. This includes field artillery Soldiers and combined arms chain of command field and company grade officers, middle-grade and senior noncommissioned officers (NCO), and battalion and squadron command groups and staffs. This manual also provides guidance for division and corps leaders and staffs in training for and employment of the BCT in decisive action. This publication may also be used by other Army organizations to assist in their planning for support of battalions. This manual builds on the collective knowledge and experience gained through recent operations, numerous exercises, and the deliberate process of informed reasoning. It is rooted in time-tested principles and fundamentals, while accommodating new technologies and diverse threats to national security.

This book was released on 2015-05-09 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Throughout the mining and processing of minerals, the mined ore undergoes a number of crushing, grinding, cleaning, drying, and product sizing operations as it is processed into a marketable commodity. These operations are highly mechanized, and both individually and collectively these processes can generate large amounts of dust. If control technologies are inadequate, hazardous levels of respirable dust may be liberated into the work environment, potentially exposing workers. Accordingly, federal regulations are in place to limit the respirable dust exposure of mine workers. Engineering controls are implemented in mining operations in an effort to reduce dust generation and limit worker exposure.
