Over the years, the industries of structural, mechanical, aerospace engineering, materials science, medicine, prosthetics, and many more have called for stronger, lightweight, low maintenance materials to withhold the stresses and loads that come with everyday usage of materials. Material scientists and engineers have studied and manufactured composite materials to cater to the needs of these various industries; however, composites have limitations as well. Many composites need repairs after…

Introduction There are many bioactive compounds that can be found around us. Bioactive compounds mostly can be found in both plants and animals. It is a compound that has an effect on a living organism, tissue or cell. It also can have an influence in our health. A few examples of bioactive compounds included flavonoids, caffeine, carotenoids, carnitine, choline, coenzyme Q, creatine, dithiolthiones, phytosterols, phytoestrogenss, glucosinolates, polyphenols, prebiotics, and taurine. Carotenoids…

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration’s (NASA) Mars Exploration Rover Mission (MER) is an ongoing space exploration mission of the planet Mars utilising two robotic rovers named Spirit and Opportunity launched on June 10 and July 7, 2003, respectively from Cape Canaveral, Florida, USA [1]. The mission’s primary goal is to “Determine Whether Life Ever Arose on Mars” (NASA) through the search for clues in soils and rocks that suggest past water activity on the planet’s surface. The…

From Theory to Practice The following case studies were conducted at an interactive science museum, the Discovery Center of Springfield, located in southwestern Missouri. The Discovery Center is a hands-on museum that regularly serves around 100,000 visitors annually in addition to offering distance learning opportunities and outreach to the surrounding communities. The facility represents one of the only educational spaces of its kind serving the region. The museum comprises around 60,000…

into molds and letting it cool and harden into the desired shape the blueprints instruct. Melting metal into a liquid is an ideal choice for structures that require complex geometries. The raw materials used are typically molten metal, but concrete, epoxies, and clay are also used. Other common metals used in the casting process are aluminum, iron, steel, stainless steel, gold, silver, copper, and…

Biodiesel which is an alternate fuel, is produced…

Abstract Purpose of this case study is to take overview of composites in sporting goods. Because of exceptional combination of properties as composites offered they are widely used by professional players to get better results. Mainly Carbon fiber reinforced (CFRP) and Glass fiber reinforced plastics (GFRP) are of much interest in sporting industry. How carbon fibers are produced is presented here. This report has also included 3 sports goods. Racing boats, racing bicycle frames and tennis…

I. Science Fair Question What is the speed of light in gelatin? II. Background Research Did you ever wonder how the speed of light is measured? This paper will discuss how the speed of light is measured. The terms that will discussed in this paper are the law of refraction, trajectory, Snell’s Law, and the index of refraction. Snell’s Law gives the relationship between angles of incidence and refraction for a wave impinging on an interface between two media with…

hours or more used indoors, half that outdoors, and some manufacturers provide a limited lifetime warranty. • Safety – no chance of combustion since the bulbs are cool to the touch, regardless of how long they are left on. • Sturdy bulbs – the epoxy lenses are virtually indestructible. LED lights are currently available in strings from 25 to 150 bulbs with red, green, blue, white,…
