Notification systems The early protection, disclosure, and suppression system for the facility may have been adequate when the warehouse was originally built and the contents inside were made of non combustible materials. As the building was renovated and additions were added to it the system was upgraded. It seems that all necessary components were upgraded sufficiently. The question is why weren’t any of the systems operating correctly when the power was out? For the suppression system, the pump should have boosted pressure and supported the sprinklers unless there wasn’t enough flow to start with. The pump may not have had a backup power supply to support operations during power outages; it may have been wired directly to the main power. Also the sprinkler system was most likely sufficient before the shelves were overloaded with combustible products. Overloading of the shelves caused the sprinkler flow to inefficiently reach the fire. Protection, Suppression, and Detection These are all small issues, but when combined they create havoc during a fire. The secondary power supply system should have been upgrade to power the system…
Types of random generators and their uses Random number generators refer to devices that can generate a number of sequences of symbols that are not easy to create or even predict when the random chance is not in use. Today there are various uses of random generators where they are used in cryptography, gambling, computer simulations in statistical sampling, and entirely randomized designs (Gentle, 2013). Today several random generators generate various random numbers to serve a different purpose. Types of random generators and their uses Currently, several random generators are used to serve different purposes. One of the most known random generators is the random hardware generator (HRNG). HRNG generators are known to generate real random numbers through the use of physical processes and not by algorithm means. This type of generator works through a repeated sampling of signals of varying lengths randomly, which in turn gives out different random numbers (Gentle, 2013). They are majorly used in cryptography where they ensure secure data transmission. Also, they are used in transport layer security encryption protocols. The other type of random generator is…

importance of the web to the business The initial post talks about the importance of the web to the business. I feel as the industry progresses to web communication, companies should ensure they maintain a balance between efficiency and human touch. Companies are moving away from traditional channels of communication due to their labor intensity. In the process, businesses tend to free up a lot of resources that are invested elsewhere. Web communications provide a cheaper way for companies to communicate. However, there is a tendency of over-relying on robotic communication that fails to create an exceptional customer experience. The development of new automation has enabled the business to reach out to their consumers in a short time. However, consumers around the world dislike the idea of generic communication. Consumers want to become friends with the brand they buy through the building of personal relationships. Just like in the past, a quality sale and marketing team is measured with its ability to build consumer relationships. Robotic communication will deny the team such opportunities. This is because there is no emotional…
How to Retrieve data from Response to Intervention Response to Intervention (RTI) is a method used by educators to gather data after monitoring the development and progress of their students. This data is then used to prioritize the students’ instructional needs and decide whether they may have to move between intervention tiers of the program. Response to intervention can be used by teachers and any other type of educators to make data-based decisions regarding the education development of the students. In this way, the teachers can monitor the learning progress of the students, and if need be, the learning method will be improvised. For instance, test scores can be used by the teachers to select a researched and proven intervention that will enable the child to learn in an improved environment. Well trained teachers can use Response to Intervention (RTI) methods to get data regarding the readiness of the students to learn, their education progress, and also the students’ learning profiles. These indicate how the students can react to the intervention set out by the teacher. This data is then…

Online versus installed apps The similarities and differences between online applications and the installed versions can be presented in terms of their advantages and disadvantages. Advantages of online apps One advantage of online applications is that they are very big and flexible. All the online applications are accessible from anywhere in the world, no matter where we are working from. Secondly, the fact all online applications exist only online; it is an advantage by itself. One of the disadvantages of online applications is that one has to have an internet connection. Accessing online applications depends on the current internet connection (Miller, 2009). Advantages of installed applications Installed apps are very reliable, secure, and trusted. Installed apps can be used whenever one wishes within the laptop or desktop (Arora et al. 2013). Secondly, installed apps do not require an internet connection for them to operate. This means they are convenient to use, even when one is online. Thirdly, you hold the license to the software (Miller, 2009). Disadvantages One of the cons of installed apps is we can access these applications…
