Varieties of insititia are found across Europe, but the name damson is derived from and most commonly applied to forms that are native to Great ...

  3. Facility condition assessment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Facility_condition_assessment

    Facility condition assessment is an analysis of the condition of a facility in terms of age, design, construction methods, and materials. [1] [2] The individuals who perform the assessment are typically architects and engineers, and skilled-trade technicians. Engineering and architectural professional opinions as to the conditions observed are ...

  4. Crack growth equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crack_growth_equation

    A crack growth equation is used for calculating the size of a fatigue crack growing from cyclic loads. The growth of a fatigue crack can result in catastrophic failure, particularly in the case of aircraft. When many growing fatigue cracks interact with one another it is known as widespread fatigue damage. A crack growth equation can be used to ...

    For example, the use of tinted greenhouse glass could be compared to clear glass in this way during an investigation into photosynthesis. [ 14 ] A February 2011 article in the magazine Science Illustrated states, "In commercial agriculture, CEA can increase efficiency, reduce pests and diseases, and save resources. ...

  6. Necessary condition analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Necessary_Condition_Analysis

    Necessary condition analysis follows a step-by-step approach to identify necessary conditions. The key steps involved in conducting NCA are as follows: Formulation of a necessity hypothesis: The first step in NCA is to clearly define the theoretical expectation specifying the condition(s) that may be necessary for the outcome of interest.

  7. Condition monitoring - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Condition_monitoring

    The use of condition monitoring allows maintenance to be scheduled, or other actions to be taken to prevent consequential damages and avoid its consequences. Condition monitoring has a unique benefit in that conditions that would shorten normal lifespan can be addressed before they develop into a major failure.

  8. A3 problem solving - Wikipedia

    Example of a worksheet for structured problem solving and continuous improvement. A3 problem solving is a structured problem-solving and continuous-improvement approach, first employed at Toyota and typically used by lean manufacturing practitioners. [1] It provides a simple and strict procedure that guides problem solving by workers.

  9. Site analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Site_analysis

    There are numerous site elements related to the analysis during this phase. This is part of the analysis phase in site planning. Synthesis phase: From the analysis, a program is developed, which is part of the synthesis phase. The third step deals with schematic design of a site plan as well as a preliminary cost estimate for the site. Step ...
