How can you find a relative who was in the Civil War who is now dead?
I am looking for the unit my great grandfather served with. It was either a Maine or Massachusetts outfit but not totally sure. 1. Begin with a genealogy research of your family to find out where they lived before the war. The 1860 Federal Census will help locate where he lived. Of course, there is the possiblity that he joined a unit across the state borders or that he traveled to another location to enlist. 2. Visit a library of a large city that has a good genealogy and history section. There are books published with names and units of veterans. This can vary by state and such. I'm aware of a book that lists all known veterans--but maybe this is only CSA. Howver, records for Federal soldiers are quite extensive. 3. Finally, submit an inquiry to the National Archives. Generally they ask you to provde (a) Name, (b) State, and (c) county, I believe. The more info you provide, such as unit ID, the better the responce. If you don't provide enough info, then their research may turn up more names that will require more search. Many good libraries now have copy of their records on Micro-film, but usually for one state. 4. I highly recommend the same advice that I give to those searching for WW2 records: Ask your immediate family. After I searched for 4 years for one of my ancestors, my Aunt gave me his obiturary that had all of the information that I was seeking. 5. Search the internet. Some people will post info on the internet. A distant relative may have your family's entire genealogy records and military records on the internet. I was recently contacted by a genealogist who had published a book on my Family but didn't know how his ancestor was killed in the Civil War. He found his ancestor's info on a webpage that I had posted on my site.

As member of the former (c.l974) Maritime Club I feel qualified to answer your question. Most modern tankers are propelled either by Diesel or steam Turbine marine engines. Generally the single-screw set up is more common for economy of running thogh having two screws (props, to the layman) would have maneuvering and safety advantages. There are also unpowered oil barges one might ve e4xcused for calling tankers. In the heyday, or rather twilight of the so-called (Tall Ships) by the way a term that has no precise maritime use, there were a handful of Sailing Ship Oil tankers- the Falls of Clyde was one, and better known the short-lived byt historical Thomas W.Lawson, the only 7-Masted schooner ever built and all steel. The Lawson was straight-sail, but did have auxiliary engines for winches and cargo Handling(here, pumps) and oddoly for a wind-jammer had Power steering. she therfore had an engine room and engineers on duty!-but no propulsive engines-bad design if you ask me. the Lawson lasted from l902-06 and was written off in a an accident. She was operated by the Sun Oil Company-also known as Sunoco who were not exactly of the freakish sailing tanker. She ws originally designed as a Collier and was converted to a tanker during construction. from solid to liquid fuel carriage.

At what point does a circle start losing area WHEN BEING FLATTENED?
Immediately. But the area ratio decreases slowly at first then more rapidly. The area of an ellipse is A=pi x a X b, a and b are the 1/2 major and 1/2 minor axis. If a = r = b the area is A=pi X r2 , which is a circle. Not hard to graph this....but you will have to write the area of the ellipse in terms of the circumference. There is no exact formula for this-- see: http://home.att.net/~numericana/answer/ellipse.htm#elliptic

Other examples of command concrete mixture ratio are 1:3:6 , 1:1.5:3 and 1:4:8.

What is urbanization and how does it influence infiltration?
Urbanization is the process of turning green field sites into developments, eg building in the countryside. infiltration is rain water soaking into the ground and eventually ending up in rivers over a period of days. Once the site has been developed the site is now inpermeable so therefore the rain runs of the surface quickly without soaking into the ground to get to the rivers in hours or even minutes causing the hydrograph to peak higher and sharper ( more water in less time), so therefore the natural river channel is normally over whelm by the rain fall and flooding occurs
