...Refuelling Schedule for Airports By Kiran R K Jitha Babu Shyam S Sreeraj S CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 REFUELLING Refuelling is an important aspect with respect to the airports since it determines the ground time of an aero plane. Aircraft fuelling can take up to 90 minutes of ground time. Hence, precise planning and allocation is absolutely essential. Once a flight lands in an airport it has to be refueled for the next flight. The quantity of fuel required depends on the distance it has to travel to reach the next station and type of flight. Aviation fuel is a specialized type of petroleum-based fuel used to power aircraft. It is generally of a higher quality than fuels used in less critical applications such as heating or road transport, and often contains additives to reduce the risk of icing or explosion due to high temperatures, amongst other properties. Aviation fuels consist of blends of over a thousand chemicals, primarily Hydrocarbons (paraffins, olefins, naphthenes, and aromatics) as well as additives such as antioxidants and metal deactivators, and impurities. Principal components include n-octane and isooctane. Like other fuels, blends of Aviation fuel are often described by their...

...Bridget Caskey English 1301 T-TH 12:30 29 April 2008 Child Vaccinations Child vaccinations are a big parental controversy in the United States if not around the world. There are risks to consider in any medical procedure including routine vaccinations. Many parents around the nation are concerned about the mental and physical health of children. Vaccines have proved to diminish the spread of many diseases. Routine immunizations have been a way of life in our nation for more than forty years. The medical industry has made it easier for people to be given these periodical shots. Research and developments have lessened the amount of shots a child is given at one time. The risks of childhood vaccinations are common for almost all medications. A reported reaction to an immunization shot is very rare. However, in many of the cases that have been reported, the reaction was as minor as swelling and redness near the injection site. Although the risks are low every parent should be well-informed before making the decision to have their child receive vaccinations. The rewards of getting your child vaccinated out way the risks substantially. Many of the shots children take are combined immunities in one shot. The reason for this is so the children have fewer shots to take in their lifetime. The DTP shot consists of three different vaccinations. The DTP shot is combined of diphtheria-tetanus-pertussis. Diphtheria is a deadly respiratory infection. Diphtheria was a major epidemic in...

...understand the things that your parents worried about as you were growing up that you never understood. So, now with your newborn you head off to the pediatricians office for his or hers first wellness visit to make sure your baby is healthy. As the doctor starts to speak with you about vaccines for your child, you have all these questions going through your mind. You question side effects, vaccine schedules, and most importantly the rumors of mercury in vaccines. There are four types of vaccines for immunizations. Live attenuated, which includes measles, mumps, rubella (MMR combined), Varicella (Chickenpox), Influenza (nasal spray), and Rotavirus. The inactivated killed vaccines include Polio (IPV), and Hepatitis A. The Toxoid, which is an inactivated toxin, is part of the DTaP combined immunization of Diphtheria and Tetanus. Last there is the Subunit conjugate vaccines which include Hepatitis B, Influenza(injection), Haemophillius Influenza type B(HIB), Pertussis (part of DTaP combined), Pneumococcal, and meningococcal. These vaccines are on the U.S. childhood immunization schedule for ages 0-6. Vaccines are given to children...

...Abstract Data in regards to the rates of vaccinations among child has been decreasing. The reasons cited by parents are wide with concerns and fears leading to refusal. Healthcare providers play a major role in providing information for patients with questions regarding vaccinations and nurses are often on the front line when it comes to battling the resurgence of diseases such as the measles and pertussis. These providers must be comfortable, and understand the reasoning while discussing the reason for the vaccination, their schedule, and the effects of vaccines. There are several ways nurses and healthcare providers can help reduce the fear, and bring understanding to the parent who may be refusing vaccines. Some factors the nurse is unable to change, however there are ways to be able to make vaccinations more accessible to the whole population. Since vaccinations laws in the US were enacted in the 1960’s and 70’s, childhood vaccinations have been required to occur before beginning school. By the 1980’s all 50 states including DC required vaccinations for entrance into public school. Exemptions could be made for families that made the decision to refuse vaccinations based upon medical reason, religious reason, or personal philosophy (Blendall & Farre, 2012). Rates for non-medical reasons to withhold vaccinations have increased significantly over the past years, despite the evidence that communicable disease have declined, and documented safety...

...With reference to the thousands of family’s affected by reactions to vaccines and are not entitled to compensation as families in other countries are: 1) I think there should be avenues for support if a child is permanently disabled as a direct result of a vaccination (by participating in the vaccination program they are assisting in the maintenance of the herd immunisation of our country after all) 2) The numbers of any reaction reported and associated with medicine (including vaccines) in Australia are recorded at http://apps.tga.gov.au/PROD/DAEN/daen-report.aspx . These reports do not confirm causality but are a point for adverse reactions to be recorded from which the government can follow up on the safety of the reported medicines. Anyone can submit reports to this data base and the following information is from the TGA website: “Each year the TGA receives more than 17,000 reports of suspected adverse events to medicines and vaccines. In 2013 about 55% of these reports came via pharmaceutical companies, 17% from state and territory health departments, 10% from hospitals and hospital pharmacists and the rest from community pharmacists, general practitioners and consumers. The TGA asks for contact details from people making reports so that it can seek further information about suspected adverse events. The TGA does not accept anonymous reports. If you have any concerns about an adverse event it is important to also speak to a health professional.” With reference to comment...

... Morality and Ethicality pertain to the right or wrong conduct of an individual or society. There were many characters in this book that show that their actions are either moral or immoral. Two characters who are the least and most moral are Eli Samuels and Dr. Wyatt. In this book, Dr. Wyatt’s actions were the most moral because he was trying to help people out by genetically manipulating humans to create healthy babies and Eli was the least moral because he destroyed precious life by smashing his and other mother’s experimental eggs from the freezer. Dr. Wyatt’s actions were the most moral because he was helping out struggling people. Ava just wanted to have a baby of her own but it was too risky to have a baby that could be tested positive or negative for Huntington’s disease. Ava Samuels would be feeling really guilty on her part if Eli turned out to be tested positive for Huntington’s disease. Similarly, Many families are unable to have a child because of a fear that their child will be born sick. However, with Dr. Wyatt’s help, she was able to have a Huntington’s disease free baby. Even though the rest of her eggs were stolen and used for experimental purposes, Dr. Wyatt’s only intention was to create more healthy babies before it was too late for other families. “ I must be willing to give whatever it takes to do good to others. This requires that I be willing to give until it hurts. Otherwise, there is no true love in me, and I bring injustice, not peace, to those around...

...Article Rebuttal Kao Saechao BCOM/275 February 9th, 2015 Dr. Sharla Walker Article Rebuttal Vaccination in children has been a touchy topic for today’s society. Do I vaccinate my child and risk life-changing diseases or do I not vaccinate my child and run the risk of other children catching diseases? On one hand, there are parents who decide not to vaccinate their children for the fear of long-term diseases such as Autism and other contaminates. And on another hand, there are parents who whole heartedly in vaccinations for their children. In an article, by S. Edmonson, the author believes that all vaccines are contaminated with diseases. The author believes as such referring to Dr. Maurice Hillerman; the former head of vaccines at Merck. Dr. Hillerman has stated on camera that all of their vaccines were contaminated with a virus. Should parents vaccinate their children? Yes, of course. However, the statement may not be untrue regarding if there are “vaccines contaminated with diseases”, there is still more to the story. What is a Vaccine? A vaccine, in essence, is made from a virus itself; contaminate or disease; if you will. A vaccine may be made from different forms of viruses such as: living or weakened, killed, or segments of other viruses. These different types of vaccines are no different from those we received as children. Varicella (Chicken Pox) is a vaccination most of us have received as children made from living forms of viruses. Other vaccinations...

...Side 2 Tamara Buie and Keri Means 1st Draft Question 1: Should vaccinations be compulsory? Vaccinations should not be compulsory. Parents should be able to decide whatever they choose is best for their children, as long as they are not being abused. The government should not be involved in parenting decisions. Vaccines are not always effective and can lose potency over time. There are legitimate reasons for parents to not vaccinate. Question 2: Should unvaccinated people be blamed for the outbreak at Disneyland? Unvaccinated people should not be to blame for the outbreak at Disneyland. The outbreak at Disneyland could have easily been spread by someone that had the vaccine 35 years prior and had the virus in their system, but wasn’t showing symptoms. There have been studies showing that vaccines lose their effectiveness over time. Also, people can develop autoimmune diseases that can make the vaccine less potent. Question 3: How relevant are gender and age in terms of vaccinations? Could there be an argument concerning discrimination (particularly as it deals with HPV vaccinations)? Gender and age are irrelevant in terms of vaccinations. There is not an argument concerning discrimination. Vaccines should have nothing to do with age, gender, or any discriminatory issue. The only thing that should be the point is letting responsible adults decide what they believe is best for their family, not what others believe. Question 4: What...

...Recommended Immunization Schedules for Persons Aged 0 Through 18 Years UNITED STATES, 2015 This schedule includes recommendations in effect as of January 1, 2015. Any dose not administered at the recommended age should be administered at a subsequent visit, when indicated and feasible. The use of a combination vaccine generally is preferred over separate injections of its equivalent component vaccines. Vaccination providers should consult the relevant Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) statement for detailed recommendations, available online at http://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/hcp/acip-recs/index.html. Clinically significant adverse events that follow vaccination should be reported to the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) online (http://www.vaers.hhs.gov) or by telephone (800-822-7967). The Recommended Immunization Schedules for Persons Aged 0 Through 18 Years are approved by the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (http://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/acip) American Academy of Pediatrics (http://www.aap.org) American Academy of Family Physicians (http://www.aafp.org) American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (http://www.acog.org) U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Figure 1.

...Topic: Vaccinations General Purpose:To Persuade Specific Purpose: To persuade people that vaccinations are a good thing. Thesis Statement: Everyone should be vaccinated or support vaccinations because (1)vaccines are safe and effective (2) you reduce the chance of spreading the disease to family members and the community and (3) you don’t want to pay the price of getting sick. Attention Step Nearly everyone in the U.S. got measles before there was a vaccine, and hundreds died from it each year; today, most doctors have never even seen a case of measles. Like all of you, I am part of the lucky people who have been vaccinated, however, there are many people around the world who are not as fortunate and others who are simply beginning to deny vaccinations. After researching vaccinations, I have become very aware of how much they actually benefit our society. According to the cdc, vaccines given to infants and young children over the past two decades will prevent 322 million illnesses, 21 million hospitalizations, and 932,000 deaths over the course of their lifetimes. Vaccines will have saved $300 billion in direct costs, such as medical expenses and a total of more than $1.3 trillion in societal costs over that time, because children who were spared from sometimes-devastating illnesses will be able to contribute to society. These numbers underestimate the full impact of vaccines because only the early 14 routine childhood immunizations typically required for school entry...

...You're an excited new mother waiting to bring your baby home. The doctor walks in , and says, "Do you want to get the first vaccines?" As a mother you wants best for your child, but do you really know what that is? Although there are people that don't believe you should have your child vaccinated, there are many people that think you should because immunizations save your child's life, protect other children, and can save you money. First of all I wouldn't want my child to be the reason other children are getting sick. There are many children that have diseases such as Lukemia that cause weak immune systems, and being exposed to non vaccinated children could really harm them. The whooping cough kills 10 to 20 babies a year. Yes, saving other childrens lives are important, but think of your own child's life. Without getting the vaccinations, your child has a higher risk to getting a chronic disease themselves, such as Polo. Vaccines are safer to get than not to get them. It is very rare for someone to have an allergic reaction to the vaccines. All of the vaccines are tested and FDA approved. (Food And Drug Adminstration) Because of the vaccines there are diseases that no longer exist, such as small pox, and measels has dramatically declined since vaccination has came out. If you decide not to vaccinate your child, your personal life and medical bills will be an exchange; For example the child would not be to go to school. You would have to home school them. They would have...

...Vaccines aren’t bad It could be much more than a common cold, or it may just be a cold. How are you to know through? Take your children to the doctor and get them vaccinated, and you could avoid a lot of stress. Do you want a major disease to spread just because you wouldn’t vaccinated your children? There are so many lives that are put in danger over one thing. It can help save your country and many other countries from going into financial deficit, because a disease is spreading fast. The parents that refuse to vaccinate their children need to be at least fined, until they understand the importance of vaccinating their children. Individuals that have a higher risks of getting horrible diseases need to be protected. The chance of a baby catching a disease is so high because they haven’t been exposed to anything (CDC).There are also people with really weak immune systems. Children with cancer and adults cannot handle even the smallest of colds (CDC). There are so many diseases that are spread just by touch and show no symptoms at all (CDC). Measles are an example of a disease that is enough to concern the whole community (CDC). These people can’t help that they can’t handle diseases, but you can. The United States and many other countries can benefit financially by immunizing their citizens. Studies have estimated to save more than one dollar for every five dollars spent on vaccinations (Armstrong, Edward). Almost every disease either approached or exceeded ninety percent reduction...
