The primary focus of the lab was to understand the process and effects of cold working and annealing compared to a baseline sample. Cold working is a form of strain hardening in which metals are worked through the use of applied pressure, thereby making the metal harder[]. This applied pressure led to harder material by creating linear defects known as dislocations. The specific type of dislocation that occurred in this lab was an edge dislocation where an extra plane of atoms was inserted into…

How many parts does the basic lacrosse stick have? It is composed of three parts; a loosely woven or net pocket, aluminum or hardwood handle or shaft and a strong plastic head. The different parts of the stick can be changed out or replaced to give the player flexibility and a greater feel for performance during the game. Depending on the position of the player different sticks apply to different positions. The size, shape and length will very according to the need and requirement for any given…
Throughout this exhibition, I have created one specific theme—to take you through the technique of gilding and the material of gilt bronze. Gilding or Ormolu is a “decorative technique for applying fine gold leaf or powder to a solid surface such as wood, stone, or metal to give a thin coating of gold.” In this case, the exhibition will revolve around gilt bronze Asian artwork. Let us take a tour through multiple pieces and learn about the gilding technique, and how the material has held up…
a. The steel manufacturing industry is the largest industry in Hamilton and the largest steel manufacturing city in Canada. The city produces 60% of all steel in Canada. Hamilton used to be home to two very large steel companies: Stelco and Dofasco. Stelco closed its facilities in 2013 leaving Dofasco as the last remaining steel manufacturer. The steel products are sold to consumers in the automotive, construction, energy, manufacturing, pipe and tube and appliance. b. Over 10 000 people…
A. Significance Copper is one of the most abundant transition metals in the human body and its redox characteristics make copper an important cofactor in many enzymes. Copper containing enzymes are important for tissue generation, synthesis of neurotransmitters, and catalysis of the electron transfer reactions.1 Because of its diverse functions, copper homeostasis deficiency is linked to many diseases. A prominent example is Wilson’s disease with a prevalence of approximately 1 case in 30,000…

This is evident In Churchill's iconic “Iron Curtain speech,” which states "From Stettin in the Baltic to Trieste in the Adriatic, an iron curtain has descended across the Continent." Churchill believed that the Iron Curtain obstructed and impeded western…
