...reconnaissance overlays to identify land and water features, bridge reconnaissance and classification, road reconnaissance and classification, special terrain reconnaissance such as that used during cross-country movement, at the landing areas, on the inland waterways, or when using footpaths and trails, engineer reconnaissance, and use of military route signs (standard signs, sign lighting, bridge signs). A significant part of route reconnaissance is the ability to identify choke points that prohibit military traffic by using conversion factors and tables to identify non-standard surfaces or inadequate load bearing in structure. Route reconnaissance is typically conducted by a foot, horse or vehicle-mounted route reconnaissance patrol, sometimes with aid of aerial reconnaissance aircraft. The patrol would include regular reconnaissance elements and a combat engineering team. 2. (1) The available space in which a force can maneuver without being forced to bunch up due to obstacles (reported in meters). The size of trees and the density of forests are reported due to the effect on vehicle movement. (2) The location and types of all obstacles and the location of any available bypass. Obstacles can consist of minefield, barriers, steep ravines, marshy areas, or NBC contamination. (3) The enemy forces that can influence movement along the route. (4) The observation and fields of fire along the route and adjacent terrain. This information will assist planners as a supplement to map ...

...Training site recon is crucial. The training area has several areas of concern to include small tributaries and a large river, endangered wildlife, wetlands, and archeological sites. These areas are clearly marked and avoided at all cost. Stick to the improved roads as much as possible and ensure the training sites will not interfere with the endangered wildlife. Fuel spills and fires are the two major concerns. Leaders and soldiers need to be proficient on fueling operations and the necessary measures need to be taken to mitigate any risk of spills. The training days will be long so fatigue is a major factor. Leaders implement a rest/work plan. Ensure spill kits are complete and soldiers are following the proper guidelines for fueling operations. Fires from pyrotechnics and fueling operations are ever present. Fire extinguishers should be inspected and replaced as needed. Ensure that environmental considerations are implemented in the training plan. The training site is critical to the training. We do not want to be in close proximity of the above listed areas of concern. However the bridging operation is a must and should be at a site that is that is away from those areas. Extra attention is to be paid in this area as it could have the most affect if hazard material is released into the river. Training could come to a complete halt if we venture into a protected area or if our training site is too close to an area of concern. Some other areas to consider are...

...Timber Stack Measurement It is important to estimate timber volumes accurately either in the forest or when leaving. A number of methods can be used: Crop inventory carried out by a qualified professional in the forest prior to felling It can be calculated by modern thinning machines as harvesting takes place The timber can be measured in the stacks at roadside (see method described below) Weighing of the timber as it passes though the mill gate Timber Stack Measurement Advantages It is useful to estimate timber that is stacked at roadside: It can be done quickly by the forest owner It is useful to know how much timber is leaving the forest It is useful to calculate the volume of different individual stacks, which is important if different timber products are being sold separately from the one harvesting operation Disadvantages All logs in a stack must be of uniform length and the stack should be built neatly and tidy for easy measurement and accuracy. Large stacking space is required to ensure that all harvested material can be stacked at roadside before any removal is carried out by timber trucks. Length * Width * Height = Volume (unit = m3) Some definitions Stack width The width is the specified length of the timber product in the stack. A number of sample lengths (billets) should be checked to verify the stack width. Stack length Stack length is the average length of the front and back face of the stack. The stack should be measured...

...Madison Guastella - 1152090 - AJ 105 - 2-L E Diversity Diversity of the LAPD After many phone calls and research I discovered that the diversity of the police agency matches up with the diversity of my city, with some minor differences. Since my neighborhood is unincorporated, we get the LAPD when we call for help. The LAPD employs just over ten thousand officers and they have more than three thousand civilian staff. These officers cover the area of four hundred ninety eight square miles populated by over four point one million people. Looking at these numbers you can see that this agency is huge, they are the third largest law enforcement agency in the United States. Being so large they have comprised into twenty one stations known as “areas” but are more commonly referred to as “divisions”. These twenty one stations are grouped geographically into four command areas. Within those four command areas I was told that the Pacific Division are the ones who come to the area where I live. Now to get to the diversity of the LAPD. Unlike my city’s diversity there are more males than females in the force by sixty four percent. I figured there would be more males than females because it is more of a man’s job, and because females weren’t allowed to be an officer until the early 1900s, then more of them were allowed to join after the lawsuit in 1980. The percentages of the different races within the LAPD are similar to the civilians living in Long Beach. Forty...

...here is to calculate the usable area in square feet of house. We are to assume that the house has a maximum of four rooms, and that each room is rectangular. Problem Analysis Objective: Devise a program that calculates the usable area of a house. This is minimally what is being requested. • Outputs: This problem calls for a simple output, the total usable square foot of the house, with a maximum of four rooms, each room being rectangular. Total number of square foot = Area of Room1 + Area of Room2 + Area of Room3 + Area of Room4 • Inputs: The problem will require us to know the length and width of each of the four rectangular rooms in order to compute the correct output, the total number of square foot. The length multiplied by the width of each of the four rectangular rooms will give us area of each room. We will receive these data points by measuring the dimensions of the room. Length1 x Width1 = Area of Room1 • Calculation Approach: In order to calculate the Total Square Foot of the house, we will need to take the sum of the areas of each room. o Area of Room 1 = Length of Room1 x Width of Room1 o (Repeated four times – once for each room) o Total Square Foot of House = Area of Room1 + Area of Room2 + Area of Room3 + Area of Room4 • Define variables: AreaofRoom1 = square foot area of the room 1 AreaofRoom2 = square foot area of the room 2 AreaofRoom3...

...Area is a quantity that expresses the extent of a two-dimensional surface or shape, or planar lamina, in the plane. Area can be understood as the amount of material with a given thickness that would be necessary to fashion a model of the shape, or the amount of paint necessary to cover the surface with a single coat.[1] It is the two-dimensional analog of the length of a curve (a one-dimensional concept) or the volume of a solid (a three-dimensional concept). The area of a shape can be measured by comparing the shape to squares of a fixed size.[2] In the International System of Units (SI), the standard unit of area is the square metre (written as m2), which is the area of a square whose sides are one metre long.[3] A shape with an area of three square metres would have the same area as three such squares. In mathematics, the unit square is defined to have area one, and the area of any other shape or surface is a dimensionless real number. There are several well-known formulas for the areas of simple shapes such as triangles, rectangles, and circles. Using these formulas, the area of any polygon can be found by dividing the polygon into triangles.[4] For shapes with curved boundary, calculus is usually required to compute the area. Indeed, the problem of determining the area of plane figures was a major motivation for the historical development of calculus.[5] For a solid shape such as a sphere, cone, or cylinder, the area of its boundary surface is called the surface...

...that highlights high crime and low counties in the state of Texkansahomatucky per the Justice Department’s request. We were given county names, populations, area size, code, and the number of occurrences of seven different types of crime. We used the data provided to divide the counties into high crime and low crime areas in addition to creating a color coded map of the state based on our findings. Metrics Used: 1. Calculation of population per square (sq.) mile a. Individual county population/area(sq. mi) 2. Crime variable analytics a. Calculated each crime on a sq. mile basis for all counties (ex. murder per sq. mile = murder/population per sq. mile). b. Calculated the average of each crime using “crime per sq. mile” data. c. Calculated “total crimes” for all counties based on crimes per sq. mile. d. Sum of all crime averages (13.96) was used as a median to determine high and low crime areas. Results: High crime counties (crime total of 13.96 and above): Kern, Kent, York, Cook, Lake, Knox, Ray, Lane, and Webb. Low crime counties were (crime total 13.95 and below): Lee, Bell, Pike, Ida, Clay, Cass, King, Bay, Kane, Nye, and Jay Justification: At first glance, one would tend to assume that highly populated areas would have higher crime rates than the low populated area; however, this assumption is inaccurate. These types of assumptions lead to misrepresentation of statistical data and do not provide an accurate assessment...

...several large cities have low average elevations. Three examples are Boston (14 feet), New Orleans (4 feet), and San Diego (13 feet). In this exercise you are to estimate the rise in sea level if the Arctic ice cap were to melt and to determine whether this event would have a significant impact on people living in coastal areas. (a) The surface area of a sphere is given by the formula where r is its radius. Although the shape of Earth is not exactly spherical, it has an average radius of 3960 miles. Estimate the surface area of Earth. The surface area of a sphere is found by using the following formula: s = 4r2, where s represents surface area and r represents radius. To find the approximate surface area of the Earth, the equation would be set up as follows: S = 439602 = 197060797.4 This calculation shows that the approximate surface area of the Earth 197060797.4 square miles. (b) Oceans cover approximately 71% of the total surface area of Earth. How many square miles of Earth’s surface are covered by oceans? To calculate how many square miles of Earth’s surface are covered by oceans one must multiply the approximate surface area of the Earth, 197060797.4 by the percentage covered by water, 71%. This is set up as follows: 197060797.4 * .71 = 139913166.2 This calculation shows that approximately 139913166.2 square miles of the Earth’s surface are covered by oceans (c) Approximate the potential rise in sea level by dividing the...

...A Perfect Driveway Ever wonder how those big new driveways get their picture perfect look? It is a lot of hard work, but in the end it is all worth it. It makes your house and yard look wonderful. Also having a paved driveway is better for most home owners than a dirt driveway. A driveway that has been paved with asphalt is less likely to damage cars with flying rocks or leave a vehicle dirty or muddy. I am going to guide you thru this back breaking process. Here is a list of things you will need to do and purchase before we start. You will need to measure the drive way, by length and width so you can price your materials. The amount of asphalt you will need to pave a driveway will be determined by the size of your space. Measure your area by square ft. and take those measurements to the home improvement store. Then find a team of hard strong workers. Now you will need a roll of yellow caution tape, some markers, a couple of shovels, spades, rakes, tamps, a jack hammer, a hand roller, and a ride on roller, wheel barrel and a spreader box. You will also need gravel, base, black top and top soil to back fill, also a dump truck to remove the old driveway material. Next you will need four or more men to do the labor, it depends on how large the driveway is that you are working on. One of the easiest ways to make a driveway is to simply clear the land, compress it with heavy machinery and begin using it to gain access to and from a home or building. Is this the best way to go about...

...wide and deep the river is and how rough the river bed is depending on if there is boulders or dips. Upstream it is narrow and shallow and further downstream this begins to change to being wide and deep due to the energy from the water causing lateral and vertical erosion. This then has an immediate effect on the wetted perimeter, length of a river channel in contact with the water at a cross section, as the wider and deeper the river channel the more surface area in contact with the water therefore resulting in a larger wetted perimeter. Further upstream nearer the source of the river the wetted perimeter is likely to be small as there is less surface in contact with the water as it is shallow and narrow whereas in the lower course closer to the mouth of the river the wetted perimeter should be a larger number as the river bed and banks will be larger therefore more surface area in contact with the water. The relationship between these two characteristics is shown through the hydraulic radius, the cross sectional area divided by the wetted perimeter. The hydraulic radius links to the efficiency of a river as the higher the hydraulic radius the more efficiency. Downstream the river is more efficient and has a higher hydraulic radius as, as the hydraulic radius increases so does the rate of...

...Program Description: The program I’m creating is going to be utilized to determine the usable surface area of each room in a four-room house and then calculate the usable square footage of the house as a whole. Analysis: To start this program, I needed to come up with a plan or blueprint. I utilized the Modular Approach to break this down into smaller parts. The main module is the solution to the problem; determine the square footage of a four-bedroom house with the all rooms being rectangles. The program will perform the equation for the area of a rectangle (Area = Length * Width) for each room. Each sub-module will perform the equation and come up with a solution. Once the solutions are identified for each room, we must finish the task by finding the sum of the four rooms’ square footage to calculate the houses’ total square footage (Area RM1 + Area RM2 + Area RM3 + Area RM4 = Total Square Footage of House). Calculate the Total Square Footage of a four-bedroom house. Calculate the Total Square Footage of a four-bedroom house. Area of Room One Area of Room One PLUS PLUS Area of Room Two Area of Room Two PLUS PLUS Area of Room Three Area of Room Three PLUS PLUS Area of Room Four Area of Room Four Analysis (CONT): In this program, I will be using various variables with different definitions.

...Introduction: Areas of land must be leveled and prepared before construction can begin on them. Quality soils can sometimes result in strong foundations. Engineers need to prepare the cost estimate that the soil excavation would entail. The image below shows what land area will be used in this lab. Experimental procedures: 1. Set up the automatic level somewhere where you can see the benchmark and the grid points. 2. Take a backsight of the benchmark. 3. Use the equation below to establish the height of the instrument: 4. Take the foresight of each grid point. It’s okay if your measuring rod is not on the point exactly. 5. Find the elevation of each point using this equation: 6. Once the elevations have been found, determine the grade elevation by taking the minimum observed elevation and subtracting 2 feet from it. 7. Use this grade elevation to find the difference between each elevation in relationship to the grade elevation. 8. Now, use the trapezoidal rule to find the total cut area at each cross section: 9. Use the average end area method to find the total cut volume between cross sections: 10. Sum the total volume for excavation and apply the soil swell factor of 1.1 (used to account for the amount that soil will expand after excavation). 11. Use this new swell volume to calculate the cost estimate. 12. Calculate the cost estimate (where the unit cost is $12.00 / yd3). Experimental Data and Discussion: ...

...responsibility of those in charge should be to create solutions and communicate that across their area. Everyone in the organization reports to someone with a higher position and greater responsibilities. An article by McDonough and Emisar states, “Structure creates order and makes the various duties assigned to a multitude of employees manageable and clear to all involved,” (2011). Placing employees was not as easy as I thought at first. I rearranged them in several drafts. The intention was to get the employees trained and then to move them into their respected areas of strength. The problem arose as I was trying to figure out who was going to train them. I had to ask the question of whether I wanted to combine areas or strengthen them individually. In a marketing management book, Kotler assesses that greater commitment to a broad range of marketing initiatives in high performing companies outranked low-performing firms that chose to concentrate on cutting marketing staff levels (Kotler, 2011). In consideration, concentration was placed on keeping the areas as already designed, but strengthen the training between them. In the Human Resources (HR) department, I left two original employees to run the area of Workforce Planning and Employment, Compensation and Benefits. The other two existing employees are to run the Training & Development, Employee Relations, Risk Management area. Since these two employees are running the training department, they will be training the two...
