Numerous studies have been done on the causes and effects of Ulcerative Colitis in the body that ultimately begin and progress through the large intestine. These studies have led to information that allows physicians to help their patients control the symptoms of this disease and enable them to lead a normal life. However, through the research that has been done no significant information has led to the cure of this disease or what truly causes it in the first place. The cause for this disease…

Created in 1965 by Stephanie Kwolek, Kevlar is a synthetic fiber that can be used in a wide variety of ways [1]. It is used to make body armor, tires and automotive belts. Governments around the world use this material to protect their soldiers in combat, motorcyclists use it to protect themselves against road rash in the event of a crash, and it is also utilized in ropes and cables. While these uses for Kevlar have revolutionized personal protection, there is one particular application for…

2.1 Nanocomposite and nanofiller Composite is the combination of two or more different materials that are mixed together in order to bring out the best properties of both material. A nanocomposite is the composite which exhibit at least one dimension of the nanoparticle size material [17]. The nanoparticle size is mainly used as the disperse particle system to enhance or improve the properties of the composite material such as strength, conductivity and wear resistance. The main reason for…

bandwidth of fiber has not been fully utilized and it is already transmitting signals at multiple gigabits per second. Fiber optic cables can go an average of 62 miles versus 1.2 miles that copper can go before the signal needs to be regenerated or boosted. Overall, it is apparent that fiber optics is a more cost effective solution. Fiber optics is non-metallic and is not susceptible to interference, such as electromagnetic interference (EMI), radio frequency (RF) or lightning. Fiber does not…

Coursework 1- Carbon Fibre composites compared to traditional metallic properties Introduction Carbon fibre is a material made up of thin strips of crystalline filaments of carbon woven together to create a cloth or combined with a resin or ceramics to strengthen the material. Carbon fibre is now overtaking traditional metals in where it is being used and the reasons why will be discussed further on in the report (Happian-Smith 2001: 1). Carbon fibre composites have become the leading material…

Introduction: Selecting a pair of hunting boots is totally on the hunter and his needs. For serious hunters, who climb deep mountains, spend hours in the jungle and travel to colder regions in search of animals, choosing the right hunting boot is always essential. You will not only need the best quality hunting boot, but you will also need a pair of comfortable and lightweight boots too. Unlike any other shoe or boot you choose for yourself, these boots should be wisely selected. If you have…

A ray of light travels in a straight line. This is true until it passes from one medium (eg. air) into another medium (eg. glass) of a different optical density. When this happens, the ray of light changes speed causing it to bend either towards or away from the normal which is an imaginary line at 90 to the interface between two mediums. This is called refraction. How much it bends depends on the refractive indices of the two mediums which is a ratio of the speed of light in one medium…

1.1 Overview of aerospace industry Globally, 3.57 billion passengers travelled on aeroplanes during 2015 and the demand for air travel is predicted to keep rising.1 As the frequency of air travel is increasing, it places a pressure on the aerospace industry to improve material performance and the efficiency of their transportation.2 Classically aircraft were constructed from metallic materials such as aluminium and titanium. Therefore, new materials must have specific properties and…

The fiber evidence played an overwhelming role in the conviction of Wayne Bertram Williams for multiple reasons, primarily because the prosecution was able to link twenty-eight different types of fibers to Williams and his victims (Saferstein, 2015). Furthermore, the fibers located on the victims were unusually shaped yellow-green fibers, which matched the carpet in the Williams’s home (Saferstein, 2015). The fiber evidence gained additional credibility for the prosecution when they discovered…

QUESTION 8. Describe fiber restricted diet. When would you suggest the physician prescribe this diet? Why should the patient only follow this diet for a short (temporary) period of time? Fiber restricted diet considers limitation of food intake with high amount of fiber. High fiber foods are fruits, vegetables and grains. Usually this diet prescribed for patients with bowel surgery, narrowed bowel after infectious disease or tumor action. This diet helps to reduce the amount of undigested food…
