The K-1 is also capable of providing up to 40km(25 nmi) reboost and attitude control for ISS, an important feature for maintaining the ISS orbit, and conducting on-orbit technology demonstration as precursor risk reduction missions. 4, record 11, English, - K%2D1%20reusable%20launch%20vehicle

The principal focus of the Algoma Highlands Conservancy is that of a land trust(e. g. Robertson Lake Cliffs), but it also provides opportunities for undertaking educational programs(e. g. Lake Superior State University), for research into forest management techniques through the Canadian Forest Service, for the protection of species at risk(e. g. the peregrine release program) and for non-motorized recreational activities. The Algoma Highlands Conservancy is unique because it is a bi-national organization seeking to purchase and protect 6, 000 to 8, 000 acres in the vicinity of King Mountain, which is almost 1, 300 ft. above the elevation of nearby Lake Superior. This area is best known for the Stokely Creek Trail System, one of the most extensive Nordic areas in North America that is enjoyed by thousands of cross-country skiers every winter. 1, record 12, English, - Algoma%20Highlands%20Conservancy

An example will illustrate the futility of attempting to control welding smoke in a production area by means of a ceiling exhaust fan. Assume :(1) Exhaust fan, 15 ft over work area and directly overhead,(2) fan capacity 20, 000 cfm, and(3) exhaust opening 5 ft in diameter. Calculate the velocity of air movement at one diameter, or 5 ft from the opening. The minimum capture velocity necessary to control welding smoke is 100 fpm. Yet at a point only 5 ft from the fan opening the velocity has decreased from approximately 1000 fpm to 75 fpm and the welking smoke is still 10 ft away. 2, record 15, English, - capture%20velocity

The instruments used for magnetotelluric measurements of resistivity are simple in principle, consisting of separate sensors and recorders for the alternating electric and magnetic fields(...) The oscillatory electric fields are recorded by nonpolarizing porous-pot electrodes made up of cadmium immersed in cadmium chloride solution. The magnetic signals are sensed by induction coils containing up to 30, 000 turns of copper wire wound around a core of molybdenum and permalloy 6 ft long and 1/2 in diameter. A special chopper-type preamplifier is used in recording the magnetic oscillations. 2, record 17, English, - instrumentation%20used%20in%20the%20magnetotelluric%20method
