2. As discussed earlier, construction dif culties, wind, hurricane, tornado, ood, support settlement, earthquakes, and tsunamis are some of the major environmental forces responsible for failures. Physical causes are varied, such as vibrations, wind, extreme events, reversal of stress, impact, erosion, and violent shaking during earthquakes. 3. Wind, earthquakes, and oods are acting at random in multi-dimensions. In the mathematical model, they are resolved in three directions at right angles. The vertical component of wind or an earthquake may be smaller than the two horizontal components, but can cause uplift of a bridge deck over the bearings and therefore is important. The magnitude of a seismic vertical component will depend upon the distance from the epicenter of the earthquake. Seismic forces acting at right angles to each other in a given plane can be resolved with maximum stress occurring in the resultant direction. 4. For modi cations to existing structures, speci cations used for original design need to be checked against the latest LRFD speci cations. 5. Studies have revealed the following causes (also addressed in Section 3.4): Construction problems and dif culties seem to be the biggest issue. Lack of timely inspection, maintenance, or neglect: The expected life of 75 years or more for modern bridges and their components may not be achieved without effective inspection, structural evaluation, and timely rehabilitation. Design de ciencies, bridge design code violations, and in-depth analysis. Truss types and non-redundant structural systems are most vulnerable. Use of inferior material in some cases such as cast iron when wrought iron was available. Today, HPS 70W steel plates fabricated with high strength welds are available. Acts of man, such as vandalism. For bridges located on rivers, impact from ships and soil erosion from oods account for most failures. Acts of God such as accidents, re, explosions, and extreme weather events. 6. Any one of the above factors may contribute to bridge failure or may trigger a collapse. However, failures can only occur due to a combination of loads of which the principal or additional cause can be one of those listed above. The load combinations have been de ned by AASHTO LRFD Bridge Design Speci cations, 2004. AASHTO load combinations do not include accidents, res, or vandalism. However, AASHTO rating speci cations address details of inspection and the Manual on Rehabilitation addresses repair and maintenance.

Data Source: Summary Database Tables: SDB_PROCESS, SDB_METRICS Purpose: Displaying the servers with the least available memory. This report displays the processes consuming the most memory on individual servers. Details: The Server Utilization (Memory) report displays servers that have had the least available memory within the server selection and reported time period. For each server listed, there is a separate table to show the processes that consumed the most memory during the reported time period. The number of servers and processes to be displayed is configurable.

Evaluating the time allotted for testing is important. In the course of designing testing, the time it would take for an auditor to perform the task should be estimated and tracked. Estimates should include the amount of time to schedule meetings, perform interviews, review test materials, document testing results, update the test plan, and file documents. Experience is the best guide to estimating the amount of effort necessary to perform testing of controls. When reviewing a draft test plan, it can be helpful to review how many hours are estimated for each control, each control objective, and the plan as a whole. Plans should avoid spending too much time on less important controls or control objectives, and ensure that testing for the most important control objectives is thorough. It is important to compare test plan time estimates with the planned time budgets in the audit plan. If the testing plan is much larger than the time allotted, several issues could arise, such as: Testing is too ambitious, and there may need to be a reduction in test activities, control tests, or even control objectives. The scope of testing is appropriate and individual controls tests are appropriately sized; however, testing time estimates were inaccurate. The client may agree to pay for the testing or may wish to work with auditors to trim the scope. NOTE Time budgets for testing should build in some buffer time. Some technology tests often don t reveal their magnitude until testing is being performed. There could be issues with evidence delivered, unexpected test values, remediation of possible exceptions, and other interruptions.

Always wear safety goggles, a lab apron, and gloves. Point open end of test tube away from your face and away from others. Do not inhale released vapors. Handle acids carefully. Do not use open flames in the lab. Hydrogen gas is flammable.

Record temperature data to determine the boiling points of two liquids. Draw conclusions about using boiling points to distinguish unknowns.

Commas have a second meaning. When they occur on the immediate left of the decimal point, they act as a scaling factor. Each comma causes the value to be divided by 1,000. For example,

Appreciative Inquiry focuses on the positive rather than the negative, thus energizing instead of depleting the learner. When in crisis, most individuals focus on the negative and often forget about the positive elements in their lives as well as the strengths and skills they possess. A simple, well-phrased question such as this can provide insight and relief: Can you tell me about a time when you were in a difficult situation, yet you were able to summon strengths and skills to resolve this in ways you couldn t have anticipated
