“How can we determine the risk of an infrastructure project?”

 

Grand infrastructure projects such as nuclear power plants, high-speed rail, and hydroelectric dams are essential for the backbone of modern human civilization. However, there if there are any faults in these systems, then the consequences could be very severe. As a result, these projects have to undergo Probabilistic Risk Assessment, which entails determining the magnitude of possible consequences and their likelihood suing quantitative analysis.

“How does a 2018 KIA Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicle work?”

 

The workings of a 2018 Kia Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicle is relatively straightforward. The system has both a battery and an ICE. During initial acceleration or low-speed operation the car is entirely powered by its battery. When it needs to accelerate uphill or quickly both the ICE and the battery will work together. During cruise control it will be entirely contingent on the ICE engine, and in deceleration regenerative braking will recharge the battery. Because the Kia is a plug-in hybrid, it has a large rechargeable battery which is capable of going 60 km without stopping!

“How can we heal an area from mining activities?”

 

Mining activities can destroy the face of the Earth. However, with the proper planning, a closed mineland can be restored to proper functioning. This involves the use of groundwater treatment, replacement of soil, or tree-planting initiatives. This Mining Remediation process is used all over the world to restore natural landscapes.
