Sultra the Vixen is a combination curling iron, hot air brush and dryer all in one sleek and beautiful volumizing package. While some other hot air brushes need to be used on slightly damp hair, or require product on dry hair, the Vixen uses hot air to heat the ceramic barrel. This creates a combination of hot air brush and curling iron that can be used on dry or damp hair. Instead of spending over an hour sectioning, blow drying, and curling your hair, you can achieve a beautiful blowout look…

Being the largest organ in your body, your skin works really hard to protect you against germs, pollution and extreme temperatures. It keeps you warm in winters and cool in summers. Your skin is also the first to show indications of an underlying problem in your body and the signs include dryness, oiliness, eczema, sores, moles, bruises, etc. And these are a few of the reasons why you should take care of your skin. Skin care is not just about using expensive skin care products. It entails…

transparent glass cover of dimensions 4 mm thick, transmits the heat flux to the absorber plate, ensures the reduction of thermal losses due to the heat exchange by convection and radiation and protects the absorber from the outside environment.  A thin copper absorber plate with a black chrome finish on it, which was 1.5 mm thick.  A polystyrene sheet with a thickness of 40 mm, placed alongside a wooden case to minimize the heat loss from the back and sides of the collector. The solar air…

1. Insulator is a material that does not transmit heat, sound or electricity from one end to another. It hinders the free flow of electrons from atom to atom and molecule to molecule. This is because the electrons are tightly bond to the atoms leaving no space for there to be any free electrons to transmit electrical energy. Examples of insulators are glass, rubber, wood and paper. Conductor is an object or type of material that can transmit heat, sound, light or electricity. It does this by…

systems do not rely on force air, which uses oil or gas to blow heated air around the home through a duct system. In homes with traditional HVAC systems, the home dwellers will experience the heat by coming into contact with the air, which is generally around the midpoint of the body. On the other hand, radiant heat directly produces warmth through physical contact with the floor, where the heating coils are stored. Electric radiant…

Tribological behavior of double-glow plasma Zirconium-Yttrium alloying on γ-TiAl Cong Huang, Pingze Zhang*, Dongbo Wei, Xiangfei Wei, Xiaohu Chen and Feng Ding (College of Materials Science and Technology, Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Nanjing 211100, China) * Corresponding author: pzzhang_nuaa@126.com Abstract: A Zr-Y alloyed layer was prepared onto the surface of γ-TiAl using double-glow plasma surface alloying technique (DG technique). The results showed that the Zr-Y…

here first and second term in the equation (3) represents coulomb potential whereas last term is exchange-correlation potential. The exchange and correlation effects were taken in to account by using PBE-sol exchange correlation technique for treatment of electronic interactions in ZnGa2S4 and CdGa2S4 crystal compounds. The aim behind adoption of PBE-sol exchange correlation technique is that it recoups the prime gradient expansion for exchange and jallium surface potential are exactly…

experiment, the rate of vaporization does not matter. The objective of this experiment is to determine the experimental heat of vaporization and compare it to the accepted heat of vaporization of water (40.7 kj/mol). The molar heat of vaporization is the amount of energy required to vaporize one mole of a liquid at one atm and the symbol ∆ Hvap is used. The process by which the molar heat of vaporization is calculated is though the slope of a graph. The volume of…

the membrane, flashing and insulation material, sealant and roofing accessories. Roofing accessories such as adhesives and primers are mostly used along overlapping edges to form an unbreakable joint between the sheets. The other alternative is using heat welding to transform all the assorted pieces into a large single roofing cover. Before any cost estimates are made for installing a TPO roofing system, it is important to first inspect the site. The cost of labor may vary depending on the work…

Intervention Project: Healthy Eating and Exercising The behavior that I would like to change is eating healthier and exercising. For the past two years I have lived a sedentary life. I used to exercise four times a week for at least an hour. I have gained over 30 pounds in the past 2 ½ years. Right before I gained this weight, I was informed by my primary care physician that I was 20 pounds overweight for my height. It was not as if I wanted to gain weight, but my morale to exercise was gone…
