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…
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…
Does High Fiber Diet prevent Asthma? Overview Yes, specifically, a diet full of vegetables and fruits can help minimize the level of asthma and allergies in the human body. Asthma is caused by cold, infection, dust, and stuffy areas among other factors. A person suffering from asthma is proved to have an easy time as long as he/she is feeding well in a high fiber diet. Asthma patients need a lot of care since the condition is not that easy to deal with. In case you are dealing with such a…
of the operation of optical fibers. Just by altering and controlling the angle at which light is incident on the fiber, we can transmit this light signal efficiently. By this principle of Total Internal Reflection the ray of light is trapped within the denser glass of the center of the composite cylindrical glass fiber, the core as if it is guided down the core in a zigzag path of successive reflections. These light waves are guided through the core of the optical fiber just like a radio…
Implementation of optical fiber sensor in biomedical Optical fiber sensor for biomedical application Applications for biomedical sensors can be named in vivo or in vitro. In vivo alludes to application on an entire, living life form, for example, a human patient; in vitro alludes to testing outside the body, for example, research facility blood tests. From the point of view of how sensors are connected to a patient or organic framework, they can be named noninvasive, reaching (skin surface),…
These advantages include less interference, attenuation, and bandwidth characteristics. Advantages Fiber optic cables provide superior quality transmissions compared to copper systems. Long distance telecommunications using satellite technology are more likely to experiment weak connections and echoing, which decrease when using Fibre optic cables. Copper…
should also provide long term extraction of data consistently using up to date sensors that are effective under a range of environmental conditions. The use of electromagnetic sensors predominate over other sensors and cost effective in comparison with fiber optic data logging…
Over the past few decades, increasing research and development efforts toward value addition and efficient utilization of nutritionally rich agro-industrial residues have been gaining attention around the world. Several industrial residues, such as whey, sugar beet pulp, cassava bagasse, apple pomace, citrus waste, coffee pulp/husk, etc., have been studied as model system. They are either used as microbial substrates in fermentation or are subjected to the extraction of bioactive molecules1-4.…
through October fifth I created a food log to help me further analyze my diet. I noticed that my diet is lacking dietary fiber, potassium, iron, magnesium, vitamin A, D, and choline. I was able to know this by logging my food every time I ate on a website called SuperTracker where it can tell you the food sources you’re missing along with your activity levels. Dietary Fibers primary role in the body is to strengthen the walls and to regulate digestion. I don’t have enough of it in my diet but…
