Xcluder pest-exclusion fence around the perimeter of Sanctuary Mountain Maungatautari in New Zealand Photo of the Rabbit-proof fence in northern Australia, taken in 2005. A pest-exclusion fence is a barrier that is built to exclude certain types of animal pests from an enclosure.
An unusual feature is the upper reservoir which is constructed on a flat surface, requiring a dam around the entire perimeter. On December 14, 2005, a catastrophic failure in the upper reservoir dam put the plant out of operation until it was rebuilt, recertified, and reopened on April 21, 2010. [10]
A geofence is a virtual "perimeter" or "fence" around a given geographic feature. [1] A geofence can be dynamically generated (as in a radius around a point location) or match a predefined set of boundaries (such as school zones or neighborhood boundaries).
Silt fence installed on a construction site. Silt fences are often installed as perimeter controls. They are typically used in combination with sediment basins and sediment traps, as well as with erosion controls, which are designed to retain sediment in place where soil is being disturbed by construction processes (i.e., land grading and other earthworks).
Breakwaters are man made walls (built offshore) which block the coastline from wave activity (often used around harbors). [9] Each turbine has its own collecting chamber and the chambers measure 4.5m wide, 3.1m deep and 10m high. This was the first instance of multiple turbines being used in one plant. [10]
A variation potential (VP) (also called slow wave potential) is a hydraulically propagating electrical signal occurring exclusively in plant cells.It is one of three propagating signals in plants, the other two being action potential (AP) and wound potential (WP) (also unique to plants). [1]
Erosion control is the practice of preventing or controlling wind or water erosion in agriculture, land development, coastal areas, river banks and construction. Effective erosion controls handle surface runoff and are important techniques in preventing water pollution , soil loss , wildlife habitat loss and human property loss.
