Optical fiber

2.) A: Although life is often filled with chaos and unpredictable futures, I do agree with the author Steven Johnson. I believe that as unpredictable this world is, that we must do our very best to predict to the best of our ability the effects each new innovation may bring. I would never have recognized some of these connections that have been made in this book between two things that could be so different. My favorite one being the air conditioning. The push for the invention of the air…

Many optical illusions take advantage of our perception, being a "construction project" and our brain constantly trying to estimate the best guess, leading for us to be easily tricked. The moon illusion is an optical illusion which causes the moon to appear larger near the horizon than it does higher up in the sky. One of the most famous illusion and most widely discussed has been the so called "Moon Illusion". For many years psychologists have known about this and have proposed many theories to…

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…

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 size, and so the structure is virtually defect free. Because the fibers are kept separated from one another by the matrix, they do not make contact, and crack propagation from fiber to fiber…

A final study that was explored focused on the importance of finite element analysis for analyzing the effects of composite patching on CCT. According to [S3], FE analysis is helpful because it leads to a direct computation of both the SIF and stress-distribution field. This study used 2024-T3 aluminum with a glass and epoxy composite patch. Cyclic stress was applied to patched and unpatched aluminum specimens, and the Mindlin FE Approach was used to analyze the resulting data. Results showed…

North American deserts. The plant has flat fleshy pads, which are modified stems and look like large leaves. Its leaves are small wart-like projections that appear on the stem. The fruits and pads of this plant are rich in slowly absorbed soluble fibers, which help in regulating blood sugar levels (Davidson, 1999). Comfy Beverage Company intends to venture into the business of processing and selling prickly pear juice and prickly pear marmalade. This research paper is a marketing plan that…

that parallel fiber-to-Purkinje cell synapses were strengthened during learning; in contrast, Albus postulated that the parallel fiber-to-Purkinje cell synapses would weaken (he also thought they could strengthen and that the parallel fiber-to-stellate cell synapses were also modifiable.) Albus defended his synaptic weakening argument by pointing out that the parallel fibers should be trained to emulate the post-complex spike pause and not the excitatory phase of the climbing fiber-induced…

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…

Moon Illusion: A Continued study of Existing Hypothesis Xinran Wei PSYC 182 Reading Group 12 Moon Illusion: A Continued study of Existing Hypothesis One of the most extraordinary optical illusions in nature, the moon illusion has attracted attention from generations of scientists. It seemed that despite of the distance between earth and moon did not change, the size of the moon appeared larger in the horizon but smaller at zenith. The debate of explanation behind this illusion…

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…
