  Whether you travel alone or with friends and family, when you fly you are sharing a tiny space with maybe hundreds of strangers for what could be six hours or more. It used to be said, one person sneezes, everyone gets the flu. But how true is that? How much are you at risk on a plane, as opposed to other forms of transport? This is more important now than at any time in the history of aviation, and with international flights extending further afield and to more exotic places, is there a clear and present danger from infectious diseases on a plane? The dangers of flying There are known side effects of flying that everyone should be aware of, such as deep vein thrombosis, hypertension, earache, and dehydration. These are caused by limited mobility, changes in cabin pressure, altitude, and oxygen levels which, in most people cause only minor stress, but those with underlying health conditions may be more susceptible. Getting up and moving around when it is safe to do so, avoidi

  The construction industry is notoriously slow at taking on board new ideas and methodologies. This may sound strange as the great constructors of the past have been at the forefront of innovation and finding new ways to build bigger, more elegant structures. However, the industry has been left behind somewhat in the digital world we live in, and only now are we seeing advances in the use of technology to visualise and create buildings that excite and push the boundaries. From new start-ups to established architectural, engineering and construction companies, everybody is looking at ways to adopt new ideas to solve age-old problems, which is a challenge for many who may lack the expertise in digitisation. So, what innovations in digital construction can we expect in this third decade of the 21st Century?   Innovations in the measurement of the site and buildings When measurements were made using traditional methods and then drawn onto paper by hand, surveys were prone to l

  From point cloud to 3D model and BIM Point cloud technology has been fundamental to the development of 3D modeling. A point defines an object in terms of its shape and position in space (X, Y, Z coordinates) but more can be added to this such as color, texture and pattern. By collecting data from aerial surveys and photogrammetry and storing these as points in a cloud, it is then possible to take the step from point cloud to 3D model using specially developed software such as that produced by PointFuse . With the PointFuse software, 3D models are intelligently optimized so that only the information you need at that time is shown, making the process extremely fast. This facilitates better collaboration between designers and through this, it is possible to quickly see where clashes occur and where changes need to be made. When used with Building Information Modeling (BIM), point cloud data is enhanced by providing further information on each building component to deliver a comp

Kick start 2020 with a stylish house revamp. If you are looking for some renovation ideas for your house, read on. No sooner has the last of the Christmas turkey gone, on come the adverts for holidays and as well as thinking about where to spend the summer, our minds turn to more immediate things, like home improvements.  From fixing that leaking gutter to a complete kitchen makeover, there are many projects that need our attention and now is a good time to start planning.   Where to start Nothing lifts the spirits more than a revamp of your home, particularly after Christmas.  The decorations have been taken down, the tree cast aside in the garden awaiting a trip to the rubbish dump and without the lights, the whole house is looking very sorry for itself. Whether you have a one-bed apartment or a five-bed detached house, you can’t do everything at once, so you need to prioritize.   How about a Kitchen Makeover? In any home, this is often the hub of activity. From cooking

 A virtual learning environment provides a means for students to access curriculum mapped content and other learning material, but for it to be effective it must be relevant and up to date. It must also be accessible to all students if it is to work for everyone. In recent months, many schools and colleges have had to teach remotely because of closures and this has shown up certain issues with regards to distance learning materials and teaching methods. In this article, we look at how all educational facilities can access digital resources and share them effectively with their students, keeping them engaged as well as educated.   What are digital resources? Digital resources in education are made up of video, audio, text and images. The material is often interactive, allowing students to take part in tests that can then be assessed by the teacher, marked and commented upon. Podcasts are also used by teachers to interact with students, allowing them to ask questions and re

  If you or one of your family has developed a rash after using your hot tub, you could have a problem with folliculitis, and if that is the case, you will want to know how to get folliculitis out of your hot tub. Folliculitis is an infection of the hair follicles, which can be brought on by bathing in a hot tub that hasn’t been properly maintained, but before you treat it as such, you need to be certain that this is the cause of the rash. There are a number of things that can cause itchiness and a rash, from a chemical imbalance to just sitting around in a wet costume after a soak, so I decided to do a little research, and this is what I found out.   How do you test for folliculitis in a hot tub? Hot tub folliculitis – or pseudomonas folliculitis to give it its scientific name – is a type of bacteria that thrives in the warm water of a hot tub that isn’t properly sanitized. There is no simple test for this, but if you get a rash after soaking in your hot tub for a while, y
