the concrete slab covered with floating timber has relatively good energy performance. However, timber, a type of material with low thermal performance, weakens the energy efficiency of the whole floor structure. Changing the floor covering to high density material, tiles, will not only provide occupants with better thermal comfort, but also be lower in…
in the visible region, which shows that these films were a good candidate for photovoltaic application. The electrical properties revealed that all the SnS2 films were found to be n-type semiconductors. The electrical conductivity, Hall mobility and bulk carrier concentration of the samples increased with…
cube shape of PUF was affected by acid washing i.e.the size of the cubes became smaller and they packed more closely together (Moawed, 2008). 1.1.1.2. Density of acid treatment PUF After hydrolysis the density of the PUF was measured. The density increased from 12 kg m3- for the white PUF to 14.09 kg m3- after hydrolysis with concentrated HCl. The density was increased by increasing the concentration of the acid used for washing. The obtained data in table2 confirm that the mass and size of the…
Locking mechanism The joints had to be such that they can be loosened and tightened at any required configuration, this obstacle was overcome by the use of wing nut at the end of the screw instead of a normal nut, and the image below shows the wing nut and bolt. This is the most cost effective yet strong way of locking the joints compared to knobs and other clamp mechanisms. Materials For the Robot Arm Construction our group members had a variety of materials to choose from, these materials…
Carbon-Carbon Composite Properties Carbon fibers are exceptionally stronger than carbon bulk material. These fibers have very small diameters, typically ranging from 4 to 10 micrometers, which in turn yield a relatively small fiber surface area. Flaws such as dislocations, cracks, and impurities, are virtually inexistent in a specimen of such…
was mild. In an electronic Veena, even though we have facilities to product there, the originality in tone is lacking. For instance there are flutes made of original bamboo and other materials, but the sound of the initial one is much richer. The density of the wood influences the tone of the…
February, 2013. Seedlings and germination stages were conducted in the greenhouse. Seedlings were transplanted by hand at the third true leaf stage on 10th of March in oriented rows, 1.3 m apart, with 0.4 m between plants in the row, giving a plant density of about 2 plants m-2. A drip irrigation system with one laterals laid down along the rows with in-line emitters located 0.30 m apart, the emitters with flow rate of 4.2 L h-1 and the laterals were placed 10 cm away from the plants. The…

Nutrients and Health Providing appropriate sustenance supplies the body with essential materials for biological processes. A calorie-controlled diet including a variety of nutrient dense foods from each major food group sets the framework for optimal health. By following recommendations set by the United States Food and Drug Administration (USDA), individuals can promote fitness and reduce disease. Adequate daily intakes of macronutrients, vitamins, and minerals through healthy food sources is…
