Question: What welding operations do i need to consider when building the hulls of a large ship? I want to research on what welding operations are needed when trying to weld large sections of steel together to form a hull of the ship. what are the drawbacks and benefits of welding operations today for this kind of process? what would be the best one for the job? Thank you very much!

Answer: The fabrication of hull of large ships is normally done by panels assembled into blocks then the blocks are assembled into sections of the vessel and finally the sections are joined to form the hull. First, panels consisting of plates and stiffeners are made. In the fabrication of the panels submerged arc welding is most suitable since most of the welding are made on flat surfaces and these can be done using automatic welding machines. Several of these machines can be run by a single operator .For the assembly of the blocks however, most of the welding operations are done manually because automatic welding machines may no longer be suitable. Manual arc welding is also used in the assembly of the blocks to form a section of the vessel and also for welding the sections of the hull together.

What is the relevance of the order of operations in simplifying a polynomial? - When multiplying two polynomials, what fundamental property do you use repeatedly?

Answer: - Multiplication - Division. Parenthesis Exponents Multiplication Division Addition Subtraction is the order of operations. You still must follow these when simplifying a polynomial. - When multiplying two polynomials, what fundamental property do you use repeatedly? - The property that says you can multiply terms containing exponents by adding the exponents. I forgot what it's called, sorry. I hope that helped! :)

Question: What happens to the soul of a person who has many operations? If over a period of time, a person has many operations which gradually replaces all of the damaged parts of their brain and body with computer hardware, cybernetic implants and donators' healthy body tissues, are they still the same person, even if they retain all the memory they had before the operations? Would the soul remain whole within the original organism or would it be made up of tiny bits of other souls (the people's who donated the inter-cellular matter necessary for the recovery of the person in question) ?

Answer: It would not make a difference. Our soul has no connection to the physical body, you could replace all the organs, the soul would still be untouched. Actually we have been carrying this soul over several lifetimes, we change our physical bodies like we change shirts in our present life. Our physical existence only serves as a sort of a laboratory, to help the correction process of the soul, and when the soul is fully corrected our physical world becomes obsolete. Here is a short video on reincarnation: http://www.kabbalah.info/engkab/kabbalah-video-clips/do-we-reincarnate It might be a shocking or even frightening concept at first, but on the bright side it is our soul which can guarantee our perfect and eternal existence in the spiritual world, which is impossible in the physical life.

Question: What impact does the Iron Triangle have on the operations on the government? What impact does the Iron Triangle have on the operations on the government?

Answer: The iron triangle is the strong relationships of an interest group, an agency, and a Congress committee. For example, a person that is living under high voltage power lines gets cancer. The person will file a complain to the agency, in this case the Environmental Protection Agency. The interest group gets inform on the complain and helps the agency by collecting information about the power company and other useful information. The interest group will lobby Congress and ensures votes and PAC funding for congressmen or women that support legislation that the interest group wants. The Environmental Protection Agency shields Congress from attacks from the outside (like media attacks) as well get more funding from Congress to implement the new legislation to regulate the power companies Each member of the iron triangle helps each other to satisfy each other's needs. It like entitlement programs that government is mandated to spend. The reason why the government cannot repeal entitlement programs is because interest groups, Congress committees, and agencies fight to keep those entitlement programs, in other words creating an Iron Triangle.

Question: How do I handle a cease operations order with tenants? I received a notice from my city today that I need to cease operations until I have an occupancy permit for my rental unit. The letter stated that I was to cease operations, but my tenants have year long leases -- What do I need to do?

Answer: I do not believe this is quite what it sounds like. u said unit. that could mean a house, a basement unit, or lots of other things. IT could mean you are missing a fire alarm, a toilet or other. call them first. Or visit them. According to the powers that be; NO ONE is "supposed" to occupy any building or PART of a building until it has passed "that inspection." And the city/county has to block your using it--rent it even if it is a stupid 1 minute repair. so, maybe........you can fix the "missing link" while your tenants/tenant is out at work. for that reason, do not panic --just let the GOV do their thing. ---- u know I am curious about how you got around to renting a 2 plex/4 plex for 'x' period of time without having an OCCUPANCY permit. keep me attunded. I will guide you

Question: How dose the United States Special Operations Command decide to put which Speical Operation Unit to a Mission? How dose the United States Special Operations Command decide to put which Special Operation Unit to a certain Mission? There are allot of Spec Ops Units in the U.S military. Allot of them conduct counter Terrorism, Recon, Personnel Recovery, Direct/In-Direct action etc.. Operations . How dose the USSOCOM decide to assign which Operation to which Spec. Ops. Unit?

Answer: First, it will depend on what the task at hand is. Rangers might be used for something deep inland, perhaps needing an air drop to get there. Green Berets are a special operations soldier that spend extended time in a mission often fighting gorilla warfare. Marine Force Recon is sort of like a scaled version of the SEALs except they may be geared for larger operations, and perhaps more towards search and destroy or recon enemy positions for strikes. Navy SEALs are more precise than Marine Recon, their job is to penetrate and either search and destroy, or search and retrieve. They usually start their incursion from sea, whether it be by sea helicoter or what have you. The Air Force has their own special forces as well... Pararescue are like paramedics on steroids! (Figuratively speaking, not literally!) The go into a hostile or dangerous environment to retrieve injured or trapped personnel like downed pilots. Combat Controllers paradrop to secure a region for air drops or to create landing strips, or direct bombing raids. They even have Spec Ops Weathermen to predict the weather behind enemy lines! With all these different options at their disposal, the individual circumstances will determine who gets called up. Where is the mission located? Who's already in the area? What are the missions requirements? Who has just come back from an engagement and needs time to recoop and relax for a time? Spec ops are trained to work past fatigue, but these soldiers are not machines (even if they might like to think they are)! They do need time to unwind, hence, the different units cycle through who is available for missions. They also have to take into consideration refresher training and equipment supply. Many of the different units above can cover aspects of each other, so the primary factor in choosing who is called is probably going to be who is currently available, and how long will it take them to get there.

Question: How do you do roots and powers in order of operations? How do you do roots and powers in order of operations? Can you please show me a few example problems? Thanks!

Answer: You always evaluate roots and powers first! Then you multiply and divide. Then you add and subtract. Of course, you have to evaluate whatever is in parenthesis first, before doing anything outside of it :-) Example (in order of operations): 2^7 - 2 x (128 - 2^5 -2 x 2^4) = 2^7 - 2 x (128 - 32 - 2 x 16) = = 2^7 - 2 x (128 - 32 - 32) = 2^7 - 2 x (96 - 32) = = 2^7 - 2 x 64 = 128 - 2 x 64 = 128 - 128 = 0 Hope this helps :-)
