Why do some pavement evaluation or road investigation team not consider or use safety measures during their site investigations and evaluations?

CPD units has been strictly implemented in the Philippines already. What are the possible reasons that it may be a burden to every teachers on obeying this policy? I would like to elaborate and taking notes some of your thoughts on this matter.

What do you think will the classroom look like after the COVID-19 pandemic? From where I come from there seems to be different approaches and depends largely on how an institution is prepared. Schools usually commence between June to August. The following are just some of scenarios from my colleagues:

School 1 : Entirely online and start of the school is July (Prepared with blended learning implemented for several years)

School 2: Will start in August but they just started to talk about going online since last March (No infrastructure, no policy, no training)

School 3: Would like to conduct classes but no infrastructure, policies and no training. Will start August but no clear plans yet. They plan to conduct classes online via email.

From what I've gathered, it all depends on how prepared institutions are. My worry is if I go to a face-to-face class, will social distancing be practiced? Will I be wearing a mask? What will happen to courses that are best delivered with face-to-face interactions?

reason why central bank changes in interest rates policy from fixed rate to floating rate?

If you give prisoners in the U.S. an option to get classes in order to become teachers for impoverished areas and in return for a reduced sentence for only criminals for petty crimes. Would this be a good idea?

The criminals would be monitored carefully.

Dear All,

What may be the possible reasons to decrease in mass loss and wear rate with rise in load and temperature successively at a constant speed.

Thank you.

As I have conducted los Angeles abrasion test in the laboratory. Three type s of sandstone of varying UCS of Medium grained SS 13 MPa, fune grained SS 17.5 MPa and fine grained SS (pink) 51 MPa. Corresponding Abrasivity for all three rock samples is 55%, 30% and 12%.

But as the abrasivity % decreases wear rate of the drill bit is increasing from 8 mg/sec to 22 mg/sec.

What is the reason behind this. I have doubt about this work.

Most of the current laws within this sphere were designed before the rapid progress of digital agriculture and therefore they can be interpreted differently. Most of the farmers using benefits of digital agriculture are concerned about data use (or theft) since they are no ICT experts and the data can be used for various reasons. Is it really a data theft then, since some of that data could (and should?) be used by the local (of national) agriculture authorities to monitor the agricultural process or production of the farmer (in case of governmental incentives)? For what else can it be used in that case? What if the software is freeware as a part of the agricultural incentives for farmers? To what level the farmer should be informed about it since there is no possibility to guarantee what will happen with that data in practice?

How do you see the advancement of the law in this field? How do you assess the current situation? Let me know what do you think.
