In August 2007 Australia experienced its first outbreak of equine influenza. The disease occurred first in a quarantine station for imported horses near Sydney and subsequently escaped into the general horse population. After an extensive campaign the disease was eradicated and Australia is again recognised as free of this disease. Equine influenza was then, and is now, recognised to be the maj...

BACKGROUND In the early stages of Pandemic (H1N1) 2009, border control measures were taken by quarantine stations to block the entry of infected individuals into Japan and community containment measures were implemented to prevent the spreading. The objectives of this study were to describe these measures and the characteristics of infected individuals, and to assess the measures' effectiveness...

The main purpose of the presented research is to raise efficiency pumping stations’ operational work by developing a model for reducing energy costs in urban water supply systems. Pumping systems are responsible significant portion total electrical use. Significant opportunities exist reduce through smart design, retrofitting, and operating practices. Today, considering increase prices conveyan...

The article presents ways of analyzing the safety pumping units stations machine water lifting in function reliability indicators, taking into account complexity and presenting unit a station as "system", well need to attract information about their functional scheme, indicators elements included these schemes, adopted system maintenance repair, criteria for failure such systems, structural sch...

In this paper, research on improving the economic efficiency of 38 drainage pumping stations was undertaken. Particular attention paid to effectiveness activities without considering any expenditures. Energy costs for type machine are usually high, approximately 45% total maintenance cost. The main assumption work selection appropriate energy tariffs reduce operating costs. Liquid transport in ...
